NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「シナリオ ー レストラン予約」L98 2026/8/26

Onishi: 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。

さて、今月もシナリオ学習の時間がやってまいりました。シナリオとは、言うべきことや流れが、ほぼ決まっている状況で交わされる会話です。シナリオを知ることにより、みなさんが英語で切り抜けなければならない、さまざまな状況への準備ができますよ。

Roza: シナリオを知ろう。Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. シナリオ、Go！

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

I'd like to make a reservation for tonight.

• I'd like to make a reservation for two at 7:30 tonight.
• May I have your name? - David Evans, E-V-A-N-S.
• I'd like a table where it's quiet, if possible.
• We might be a bit late.

Roza: You are amazing.

Good night. I'd like to make a reservation at 8:30 tonight. A table for six. My name is David Evans.

Roza: Hi guys, I'd like to practice our pronunciation together if you don't mind. You ready? Today's sentence is,

• I'd like to make a reservation for tonight.

There's several different points we'll focus on. First is the pronunciation of like, the /k/ is weakened, almost disappeared. And then we go to make a, and the pronunciation of for, the /ə/ sound. And the disappearing /t/ in tonight. Let's go through them one by one.

Let's begin with like. I'd like ... I'd like to ... Great work.

Moving on, it's make a ... make a reservation ... OK, keep going.

Now, we'll go to for tonight. for ... for tonight ... make a reservation for tonight,

• I'd like to make a reservation for tonight.

All right, you ready to go at natural speed? Let's go.

• I'd like to make a reservation for tonight.

Excellent work. This one was a little bit difficult, so if you didn't get it perfectly, keep on practicing and pieces, and you'll get there. I believe in you.

Onishi: さぁみなさんも、旅行に行ったときには、気軽にレストラン予約をしてみてくださいね。世界中においしいものはたくさんありますよ。

David: That's right. A reservation can mean the difference between a great experience and a not so great one.

Roza: Exactly, and remember, it doesn't have to be perfect. You just have to be understood, so keep on doing your best.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye!
