NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「シナリオ ー レストラン予約のキャンセル」L99 2026/8/27

Onishi: いやぁ、何かを断るって、まぁちょっと言いづらいですよね。でも、それがきちんとできるのが、大人なのさ。

というわけで、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: 今日のレッスンは楽しみだね。わくわく。Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. That's right. I'm excited to Roza. Let's get into it.

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

I'm really sorry, but something came up, and I won't be able to make it.

• I'm calling to cancel my reservation for tonight.
• The reservation is under the mane David Evans.
• It's under the name David Evans.
• I'm not feeling well.
• I apologize for the trouble.
• Is there a cancellation fee?

David: Amazing.

Good evening. I have a reservation for 8:00pm tonight. It's under the name Akino Roza. I'm afraid I need to cancel this. I apologize for the trouble.

David: All right everyone. It's time for your reservation for pronunciation polish and sorry, we don't accept cancelations. Here is today's phrase.

• I'm really sorry, but something came up, and I won't be able to make it.

Let's practice each part and master it together.

First up, let's join came and up together, came up ...

Next, we'll join and - I, and I ... Great job.

The /t/ sound in won't will disappear, won't ... won't be able.

All right, next up is the schwa sound in to, to ...

And let's join up make and it, make it, to make it, be able to make it, and I won't be able to make it.

All right. Let's put the whole sentence together slowly at first.

• I'm really sorry, but something came up, and I won't be able to make it.

All right. Let's go one more at natural speed.

• I'm really sorry, but something came up, and I won't be able to make it.

All right. Good work.

Onishi: Hey guys, restaurant no-shows have become a serious issue lately, right?

David: Yeah, that can be very disruptive for businesses. My rule is, if you wouldn't do it to a friend's dinner party, don't do it to a restaurant.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye!
