NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「発言タイプ：提案する②･･･should, suggestによる提案」L42 2023/6/6

David: Sensei, do you believe in cryptids?

Ohnishi: あぁ、真偽が分からない生物みたいなやつでしょう？

David: Yeah, those.

Ohnishi: 僕はですねぇ、小学校時代ですねぇ、起きてる時間の1%ぐらいはずーっと、ネス湖の恐竜について考えてましたね。

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: うーん、真偽が分からない生物・・・大西先生だね。Hey everyone. Akino Roza here. Let’s get started.

David: And I’m David Evans. Let’s have a good time today.

Ohnishi: それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

David: So, engagement has this image of two gears, right? the teeth of the gears are combining, joining together, so when two sides come together and interlock, that’s the sense of engagement.

David: OK everyone. I think we should do some practice now. Hey Roza, don’t you think we should do that?

Roza: Well, I think we need to do some practice actually.

David: Oh wow, all right, well, let’s get to it.

• We should hire a photographer.

One more.

• We need to get dressed up.

Roza: OK, let’s continue with suggestions using “should”.

• I think we should get separate rooms.
• I think we should follow the manual.
• Don’t you think we should do that?

Excellent.

David: Let’s continues with “suggest”.

• I suggest a guided tour.
• I suggest meeting in a hotel lobby.
• I suggest we cut back on spending.

Great work, everyone.

Roza: Absolutely magnificent.

Ohnishi: Hey David, I think we should get separate rooms.

David: Wow, good idea, but why is that?

Ohnishi: Because I snore a lot.

David: Ah.

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
