NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「発言タイプ：新しいものの見方・考え方②･･･思考系動詞を使う」L117 2023/9/26

Ohnishi: いやぁ先日ですね、スマホでいつものように難しーい本を読んでいたらですねぇ、家族からですね「またゲーム？」と言われました。

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: ホントはゲームやってたでしょ、先生？

Ohnishi: 正解です。

Roza: Hey everyone. This is Akino Roza.

David: And I’m David Evans. Ah, got caught red-handed, didn’t you?

Ohnishi: Oh, yeah. なるほど、got caught red-handed、現行犯で捕まった、というわけですよね。

さぁそれではさっそく、始めていきましょう。

David: OK everyone. It’s time for the practice. These phrases today are very frequent chunks, so, native speakers will speed through a lot of them. If you try to hear each individual word, it will probably be difficult. The focus is on this or the adjective that we use.

Roza: Let’s start our practice.

David: OK here is the first.

• Think about it like this.
• Think about it this way.

Roza: Let’s continue.

• Have you ever thought about it this way?

David: Nice rhythm, Roza?

Roza: Thank you.

David: Here is our next.

• Think about the big picture.
• Think big picture.
• Think about the long term.
• Think long term.
• Think big.
• Think different.

Roza: OK, our last couple of examples.

• Think in terms of location.
• Think in terms of salary.

David: All right everyone, great job. And when you are practicing, don’t worry about instant progress, think about the long term.

Roza: Think big. You are great.

・・・・

David: A strawberry a day?

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
