NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「発言タイプ：理解を深める③･･･どうして（理由・目的）を尋ねる1」L31 2023/5/22

Ohnishi: うーん、教え子に感謝される・・・先生冥利に尽きますね。

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: Hey everyone. Akino Roza here. David, you have a huge smile on your face. Why is that?

David: I’m just so happy to be here. And I’m David Evans. Let’s have fun today, OK? Here we go.

Ohnishi: さぁそれでは今週も、がんばっていきましょう。

David: OK every one. It’s time to practice, so let’s get ready.

Roza: Today, we want to pay special attention to tone. OK guys?

David: All right. Let’s practice. Here is the first.

• I wonder why.

One more time now.

• I wonder why.

Roza: Next example.

David:

• I don’t wan to marry you.

Roza:

• Why not?

Do you hear my tone there? Let’s try that one more time.

• Why not?

David: OK, here is our next set.

• What did you do that for?
• For what?

Again, be careful with tone here. If you say “What did you do that for?” It sounds very angry, so relax, if you are not.

Roza: Good point, David. OK, let’s move on.

• You’re more well-dressed than usual. What’s up with that?

Here two, make sure you stay light otherwise it will sound very harsh. Let’s try one more variation.

• You’re more well-dressed than usual. What’s going on there?

Great work guys.

David: Great job, everyone.

Ohnishi: Hey Roza, why on earth are you so well-dressed today?

Roza: What do you mean “today”? I’m always well-dressed.

David: Ah, that’s an easy trap to fall into, isn’t it, Sensei?

・・・・・

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
