NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「発言タイプ：理解を深める⑩･･･分かった？ 分かりました の表現」L39 2023/6/1

Roza: Hey everyone. Akino Roza here.

David: And I’m David Evans. So, recently I’ve been going to the gym.

Roza: Oh yeah, how is that working out for you David?

David: Well, the machines are always crowded so it’s really been an exercise in frustration.

Roza: どう先生？面白いでしょ、ふふふ。

Ohnishi: まだまだだな。

さっそく始めていきましょう。

Roza: OK guys. Let’s practice expressions of understanding.

David: Here we go.

• I understand.
• Understood.
• OK.
• Roger.
• Roger that.
• I see.

Roza: Let’s continue. These few expressions are little bit longer but let’s do our best, OK?

• Call me only in an emergency. Do you understand?

Let’s try that one more time and I want you to link “only-in-an-emergency”, you got that? Let’s try again.

• Call me only in an emergency. Do you understand?
• I expect business attire in the office. Understood?
• Take turns playing with your toys. Got it?

David: These next four, let’s focus on our emotion. Are you serious? Are you frustrated? Are you confused? Let’s focus on that each time.

• I don’t understand.

Right. That’s confused, isn’t it? Here is our next.

• I don’t have a clue.

Again, channel the emotion you want here.

• What are you talking about?

Be careful not to sound angry. And here is one more.

• You lost me.

Roza: Just a few more. This time it’s our conversations, so let’s continue.

David and Roza:

• Just plug it in. – Gotcha.
• Don’t go in there. Is that clear?
• Crystal.
• Crystal clear.
• Perfectly.

David: All right. How was it, everyone?

Roza: You guys did great. Is that clear?

Ohnishi: Much appreciated. かっこいい表現ですよねぇ。

David: Yeah, that’s right. We use it as a cooler, fancier version of thank you, so, when I want to sound sophisticated or elegant, I can use this phrase. Try it.

・・・・・

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
