Ohnishi: ♪あーたーらしーい朝が・・・北方謙三

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: あぁ、来たか。 Akino Roza here.

Chris: Chris McVay here. ノーコメント。

Ohnishi: それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

Chris: OK guys, it’s practice time. Let’s practice some expressions of 譲歩, where the situation remains the same.

OK, here we go,

• I don’t care if you love someone else.

OK, so “I don’t care”, therefor you know, the situation will remain the same. Nothing will stop it.

OK, a couple more like that,

• I don’t care if you have no money.

And the last one,

• I don’t care if you can’t speak Japanese.

Roza: Nice, let’s continue,

• I don’t care even if you have no money.

Let’s try that one more time,

• I don’t care even if you have no money.

Chris: OK, and the last few using “whether … or not”, “whether … or not”.

Here we go,

• Whether you need one or not, she is coming here on Sunday.
• Whether you like it or not, she is coming here on Sunday.
• Whether you believe it or not, she is coming here on Sunday.

OK, well done, guys.

Roza: Whether you believe it or not, you are doing great.

Ohnishi: Hey guys, I’m going for a lunch whether you agree or not.

Roza: I agree as long as it’s your treat.

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
