NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「静的な意味を含む動詞 ③ ー keep」L63 2025/7/2

Onishi: いやぁ最近、健康に気をつけてるんですけどね。健康にいい食べ物っていっぱいあるんですよ。毎日全部食べてると、かえって太るんです。

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: つまり、すべてにおいてほどほどに、っていうことですね。

Onishi: その通り。

Roza: Akino Roza here.

David: And I’m David Evans. That’s right, balance in all things.

Onishi: というわけで今日も、がんばっていきましょう。

• As long as she keeps receiving high marks.
• Keep calm and trust yourself.
• Please keep the change.
• I ate a banana to keep going.
• What’s keeping her?

David: Good work.

My son keeps asking me if he can have a dog. His ??? is very tight but for now he is not prepared to keep a pet. He can’t keep his room clean.

David: OK everyone. Welcome to today’s pronunciation polish. Here is today’s sentence. “She needs to keep her attention on her studies” …

All right, we have two main techniques here. First is the h in her disappears. “keep her attention” becomes “keep her attention”. Did you hear the linking there, too? keep her attention … very nice.

Now let’s link up attention and on, attention on … Wow, there is her again, so it will become attention on her studies … keep her attention on her studies …

All right, let’s build these chunks into the complete sentence.

• She needs to keep her attention on her studies.

Let’s go one last time.

• She needs to keep her attention on her studies.

All right, you are doing great. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, practice is the key.

Onishi:  さぁ今日も practical usage のセクション、ちょときつかったですねぇ。Practical usage section is so advanced, right?

Roza: That’s right, but it’s not supposed to be easy. My advice would be to go back to it and use it to practice even more on your own.

David: That’s right, the bar is a little high but that’s to help you stretch.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
