NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「ever」L168 2025/12/10

Onishi: うーん、大英博物館にも行ったことなかったけど、エディンバラにも行ったことないよなぁ。

Onishi: 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. I guess that means you're just so serious about your work, right?

Onishi: Oh yeah, I'm a kind of introverted person. それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

• It was the most interesting castle I've ever seen.
• I've been interested in English ever since I was a child.
• Do you ever stay up all night working?
• You can do what ever you want.

David: Amazing.

Carol, do you ever be outside of the office? Whenever I come here, you are at your desk. I think I haven't ever arrive here before you.

Roza: All right guys, well, it's time for our pronunciation polish. Are you ready? Today's sentence is "Have you ever been there?" ...

Today, we'll go over the weakened /h/, the /ə/ sound and the connected sound between been and there. Are you ready?

Let's start with been there. Repeat after me, been there ... All right, great work so far.

Now let's go to, Have you ... Have you ever ... full sentence,

• Have you ever been there?

All right, now, just for fun, let's try a more casual version of this sentence. It goes like this.

• (Have you) ever been there?

Great work. Keep it up.

Onishi: Hey guys, are there any places you'd like to visit someday?

Roza: I would love to someday go to Madagascar. It seems like a completely different world, doesn't it?

Onishi: Really?

Roza: Yeah, like the Baobab trees, there are so amazing.

Onishi and David: Wooow. That's famous.

David: Ah, the places I wanna visit are all tropical islands. The farther  away from civilizations are better.

Onishi: なるほど。というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
