David: Wow, we are halfway there.
Onishi: それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

David: OK, next up is Thursday's dialog. Here is the question.
What does the woman want to do?
- Swim in Cairo.
- Stay at an expensive hotel.
- Get to the pyramids easily.
Here we go.
・・・・・
All right, how was it? Let's check out the question one more time.
Say It in English
これはディクテーションじゃなくて、自分の答えです。時間内に書ききるのが難しいです。 ^^
Roza: OK, here is the situation.
If you have gained your weight and you worry about this, it's time to have the healthier lifestyle.
It should be effective to decrease the meal and increase the athletic activity. The important thing is to stick to your routine.
AIにチェックしてもらいました。
- "gained your weight" → "gained weight"
"gain weight" は慣用表現なので "your" は不要。 - "you worry about this" → "are worried about it"
ネイティブ的には "are worried about it" が自然。 - "have the healthier lifestyle" → "adopt a healthier lifestyle"
「より健康的な生活を取り入れる」は "adopt" が適切。 - "decrease the meal" → "reduce your meals"
"decrease the meal" は不自然。"reduce meals" や "eat less" が自然。 - "increase the athletic activity" → "increase your physical activity"
"athletic activity" は「競技的な運動」に聞こえるので、一般的な健康のための運動なら "physical activity"。 - 最後の文: "The important thing is to stick to your routine." に「焦らず」のニュアンスを加えて "without rushing" を補足。
David: All right, let's move on to the next situation. Imagine this.
Hey, I have a trouble a bit to send the fax. Can you help me?
I haven't use this machine ever. How about you? Recently the fax becomes obsolete, right?
AIにチェックしてもらいました。
- "I have a trouble a bit" → "I'm having a bit of trouble"
"have a trouble" は不自然。ネイティブは "having trouble" を使う。 - "to send the fax" → "sending this fax"
"sending" の方が自然。さらに "this fax" とすれば具体性が出る。 - "I haven't use" → "I've never used"
正しくは現在完了 "I've never used"。 - "Recently the fax becomes obsolete" → "These days, faxes have become pretty obsolete"
"Recently" より "These days" が会話的で自然。"have become" で現在までの変化を表す。
Ending
Onishi: いやぁ、運動結構してるんだけどなぁ。
Roza: 先生。
Onishi: なに？
Roza: 先生はありのままでいいのよ。着物も似合うしね。
Onishi: お腹があったほうが、似合うって言いますよね。
Roza: そう。
David: Hum, I mean she is not wrong.
Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。
All: Bye.
