Ohnishi: ラジオ英会話占い・・・今日もっともラッキーな人は、天秤座のあなたです。

Roza: なんでいつも天秤座なの？

Ohnishi: 僕も天秤座だから。

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: 私、先生と一緒なの？ Hi everyone. Akino Roza here.

Chris: Chris McVay here. Look, from now on, I advise you two to think more carefully about the opening to this program, OK?

Ohnishi: What’s your sign by the way?

Chris: Oh, my sign, Scorpio.

Ohnishi: Right. さぁそれではさっそく始めていきましょう。

Roza: Hey listeners, I advise you to get the Radio-Eikaiwa textbook and check it carefully during each lesson.

Ohnishi: I’ll take your advice.

Chris: Great.

Chris: OK guys, take, such an interesting verb, right? So, let’s continue our practice. Remember, the basic image is stretch out. Stretch out, why to stretch out, why should you stretch out? … in order to get something … it’s natural, isn’t it? So, to get something or to accept something.

Roza: And the point here is to not think in Japanese. Be sure to just feel the nuance of the word instead.

Chris: OK, here we go, “take an offer”, “take a job”, “take responsibility”, “take the consequences”.

Roza: Next example, “Don’t take it the wrong way. “

One more time, “Don’t take it the wrong way. “

Chris: OK, and another one, “I can’t take it anymore.”

OK, let’s have a bit of emotion this time, “I can’t take it anymore.”

Roza: Now in this last example, you can really feel the nuance of acceptance, “This room can take 250 people.”

You see that acceptance feeling there? One last time “This room can take 250 people.”

Excellent work.

Chris: Yeah, I’m sure you can take more. Enjoy.

Ohnishi: Hum, “Don’t take him seriously. He’s always joking.” Are you talking about me?

Chris: Actually, I was going to ask you, “Are you talking about me?”

Roza: You know, I have something to add, actually.

Ohnishi: What’s that?

Roza: Ohnishi-Sensei is always joking but he is rarely funny.

・・・・

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
