NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「打ち消しのbut」L224 2026/3/5

Onishi: いや、南の島を離れてパイを焼くっていう話なんですね、このダイアログ。

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: Sensei, I'm sure that's what you wanted to do as well, right?

Onishi: Oh, exactly.

Roza: But you can't bake pies.

Onishi: Oh, exactly.

Roza: 残念だね。Hey everyone. Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. Well, you know, here's to their success.

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

• Let's invite Emma to the party. - But she's on a business trip this week.
• I'm sorry, but could you speak a little more slowly?
• I see your point, but I don't think it'll work in our case.

Roza: You are amazing.

I hate to say this, but I need to cancel the schedule today. I know I said to go to Hiroto land but I have a plan to do something today. I'm sorry but I couldn't do anything.

Roza: Hey guys, it's almost the end of the lesson, but we still have time to practice our pronunciation. Are you ready? Here is today's phrase. "It didn't go as well as I expected" ...

Today's phrase is short but we have a lot of disappearing /t/s and /d/s and a little bit linking as well, so let's practice them together. Repeat after me.

well as I ... well as I expected, the disappearing /d/ is there, expected, well as I expected. Great work.

Now let's go to It didn't go ... It didn't go - as well as I expected.

Now let's try the full sentence at a natural speed. Let's go.

• It didn't go as well as I expected.

How did you do? Keep up the good work, guys.

Onishi: Hey guys, there are times when you really have to cancel things and apologize, right?

David: That's true. Sometimes it just can't be helped.

Roza: Sensei, I'm waiting for your apology.

Onishi: Sorry. というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.

Roza: ぜんぜん気持ち入ってない。
