NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「知覚を表す動詞④ ー smell、taste、feel」L124 2025/10/2

Onishi: いやぁ、世界中に美味しいものってあるよね。でも、やっぱり一番は、香川のうどんか、京都の鯖寿司かねぇ。

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、また香川と京都に行くんですね。

Onishi: その通りです。

Roza: Hey everyone. This is Akino Roza.

David: And I'm David Evans. Oh, if it's しめ鯖 in Kyoto, I'll go with you. It's so good.

Onishi: それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

• I can taste something strange in this coffee.
• I feel at home here.

Roza: Fantastic.

Wow, this apple cider is great. It tastes the cloves firmly and I can smell cinnamon as well, right? All things are well in this.

Roza: All right guys. Do I smell some pronunciation coming up? That's right. It's time for the pronunciation corner. Here is today's sentence. "Here, try this sauce" ...

OK, today, we'll be focusing on the sounds of /tr/ in try, and also the combined /s/ sound in this sauce. Repeat after me. /tr/ ... try ... excellent work so far.

Now, let's try this sauce ... try this sauce ...

All right, are you ready for the full sentence? Here we go.

• Here, try this sauce.

Excellent, now, let's put some emotion behind it. Pretend like you are giving some sauce to someone, and you want them to try it.

• Here, try this sauce.

Were you able to imagine that? You are doing great.

Onishi: Hey Roza, what would you have for your last meal?

Roza: Oh, come on Sensei, do you have to ask? Of course it would be sushi, and to be specific, it would have to have うに, and maybe some のどぐろ and かわはぎ.

Onshi: How about you, David?

David: Oh, you know, I'm a man of simple taste, just give me a nice, warm glass of apple cider, the hot apple juice, the combination of cloves and cinnamon, sugar, the little hint of nutmeg, ah, just a warm comforting taste.

Onishi: So, apple cider is a bit different from Japanese サイダー.

David: Oh, you liked the clear bubbly thing? Oh yeah, no no no, worlds apart.

Roza: I guess you are gonna have to make some and bring it next time.

David: Wow, we'll do.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
