NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「発言タイプ：話し合いを求める④･･･秘密厳守を求める」L24 2023/5/11

Ohnishi: ひーみつ、ひーみつ、ひーみつ、ひーみつ、ひみつのろーざさん。

というわけで、ラジオ英会話、ハートでつかめ英語の極意、講師の大西泰斗です。

Roza: そ、先生には秘密、絶対言わないからね。 Akino Roza here.

David: And I’m David Evans. Roza, you can tell me your secret? I won’t tell anyone, probably.

Roza: ぜったいやだ。

Ohnishi: さぁそれでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

David: Sometimes we shorten to probably.（プロブリィ）

Roza: And if you use it in the middle of a sentence, you can say probably,（プロリィ）like “You are probably（プロリィ）right.” But is very casual.

Roza: OK guys. Let’s practice talking about ひ・み・つ.

David: OK everyone. Let’s practice together. Here we go.

• You cannot tell anyone.
• This is not to be shared with anyone.
• I’m telling you this in confidence.

Roza: Let’s continue to a few more.

• This must stay private.

Do you hear that “must stay” kind of connects right there? Let’s try it one more time.

• This must stay private.
• I can’t have this getting out.
• Promise me you won’t say a word.

David: All right. Let’s keep it going.

• Can you keep a secret?
• You must promise to keep it to yourself, OK?
• Please keep it under your hat.
• Keep your mouth shut about it, OK?

Roza: Hey David, can you keep a secret?

David: Probably not.

Roza: Well, that’s OK because it’s about our listeners doing excellent in the practice.

David: Oh good. Great job everyone.

Ohnishi: Hey guys, “juicy ” is an interesting word, isn’t it? What exactly does it mean?

David: “Juicy” feels delicious and ready to eat, so for a gossip and rumors, it’s a really good, interesting peace of news.

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
