NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「前置詞 without」L34 2025/5/22

Onishi: いやぁ人生厳しいこともあるよね。でも、挫折しているヒマがあったら、前に進んだ方がいいぜ。

Roza: かっこいいー

Onishi: マンガに書いてありました。

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: Hey everyone. This is Akino Roza.

David: And I’m David Evans. Let’s get started.

Onishi: それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

• I’ll be a bit late, so please go ahead without me.
• He came in without saying anything.
• I can’t eat this without chopsticks.

Roza: Excellent.

It’s OK to prepare but please don’t start the meeting without me. At the previous meeting, you started it without waiting for me, it seemed I was late.

Roza: All right guys, we can’t finish our lesson without our pronunciation polish, so begin. Today’s sentence is “Without your support, I couldn’t survive here in England” …

We have a few points, so let’s go through them. First, the pronunciation of your. Repeat after me. /ər/ … your … all right, let’s combine it with without. Without_your, the t and y, combined together, Without_your.

Great. Lastly, let’s link in England. Repeat, in_England … Without_your support – in_England. Great.

Now let’s try the whole sentence. Without_your support, I couldn’t survive here in_England … All right, a little bit faster.

• Without_your support, I couldn’t survive here in_England.

Wow, that was absolutely fantastic.

Onishi: Hey, you can’t practice without saying anything.  発音練習は必ず声に出してやってくださいね。

David: That’s right.

Roza: And of course, without your support guys, we couldn’t continue this program.

Onishi: That’s right. というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
