NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「発言タイプ：アドバイスする①･･･助動詞を使ったアドバイスの表現」L53 2023/6/21

Ohnishi: 暑くなると外から見えない短い靴下はくことあるんですけれども、よく靴の中で靴下脱げるんだよね。でも以外に便利。

Roza: 何が便利なの？

Ohnishi: 帰ってすぐシャワー浴びたいとき。自動で脱げてます。

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: Hey everyone. Akino Roza here.

David: And I’m David Evans. OK guys, we really must start getting serious about these studies. Let’s jump into today’s material.

Ohnishi: さぁそれでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

David: Don’t worry about “Huh?” in English. It just means “I can’t understand”, “I didn’t hear you”, it doesn’t mean that we are angry. So, it’s not the same with the Japanese “ハァ？”

David: All right everyone. It’s time for the practice session. These first examples, we can start with the command, “cut down on junk food”, but that’s too strong. We can soften this with “You should” to make it advice, so here’s three with “You should”.

Are you ready to go?

• You should cut down on junk food.

Let’s try another.

• You should take your health more seriously.

And one more.

• You should add more fiber to your diet.

Roza: Excellent. Now here, I want you to focus on connecting you and should. “you should, you should”, OK? Let’s go.

• I don’t think you should be surfing all the time.

Let’s try one more time.

• I don’t think you should be surfing all the time.

David: Let’s keep going.

• You’d better come up with a plan right now.

Let’s try that again?

• You’d better come up with a plan right now.

Roza: You are excellent.

David: Great work, everyone.

David: Sensei, I’ve been thinking, you should have more fiber to your diet.

Ohnishi: Add more fiber to my diet? I wish we had moyashi chips.

・・・・・

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
