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.
Yeah, it would be. I have a plan to visit the zoo with my children and see penguins. They have been talking about it this week.
I don't want make them disappointed. I would ask my boss if I can take a day off.
Practical Usageのために作った Practical Usage の添削くん ですが、Say It in Englishでも使えます
こんな感じでチェックしてもらいました
- Yeah, it would be. → Yeah, it seems so.
“It would be” だと少し文脈的に曖昧になるので、“It seems so（そうみたいね）”が自然です。 - I have a plan to visit… → I was planning to take my children to the zoo…
“I was planning to” の方が「〜するつもりだったのに（できなかった）」というニュアンスに合います。 - I don't want make them disappointed → I don’t want to disappoint them.
“want to + 動詞の原形”が正しい形です。また、“disappoint them”の形がより自然。 - I would ask my boss → I’ll ask my boss
“would” だと「もし〜なら」などの仮定っぽくなるので、ここでは未来の意思を表す “I’ll” がぴったりです。 - this week → all week
「今週ずっと話していた」は “all week” が自然です。
David: All right, let's move on to the next situation. Imagine this.
Can you see the man over there, close to the elevator? I suspect he follows us.
He is always behind us, so let's head into the crowd.
- 「the man」よりも「that guy」の方が、こういう場面では日常会話らしい口調になります。
- 「I suspect he follows us」は文法的にはOKですが、「suspect」は少し硬くてフォーマル。
不安を感じているニュアンスを出すなら「I think he’s been following us（彼がずっとつけてる気がする）」が自然です。 - 「He is always behind us」も意味は通じますが、「He’s been right behind us since we left the store（お店を出てからずっと後ろにいる）」とすると、時間の継続がきれいに伝わります。
- 「just in case」を足すと、「念のため」という日本語のニュアンスがぴったり出ます👍
Ending
Onishi: Hey guys, what's your favorite animal in the zoo?
David: In the zoo? Oh, it's easy, flamingo, flamingo, flamingo. I love flamingos.
Onishi: Why?
David: OK, one, the pink, two, they've got this long curvy beak, and three, they are standing on one leg, so they, why? what's up with there? I love it.
Roza: You know, I would say the cutest animal I've seen at a zoo is hyaena. I just, I remember seeing a hyaena sleeping and he was so, so cute.
Onishi: ろーざさんって変わってるよね。
Roza: え、どこが？
Onishi: アミーゴ、ドミンゴ、フラミンゴ。というわけで、今日はこの辺で。
All: Bye.
beak は鳥のくちばし、だそうです
so they 以降はイマイチ自信なし、、、
