NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「発言パターン ー 聞き返す① ー 反射的に」L101 2026/8/31

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。

さぁ今日からひと月は、会話の礎、理解、にまつわる表現を練習していきます。相手の発言をきちんと理解できなければ、会話は始まりません。明瞭な理解を手に入れるための、表現を学んでいきましょう。

Roza: Hey guys, this is Akino Roza. Can you believe how much time has passed since we started in April? Wow, keep going.

David: That's right. We've covered quite a lot of distance but we've got more to go. So, let's get to it. I'm David Evans.

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

Sorry?

• Sorry? I didn't catch that.
• Can you say that again?
• Sorry, what was that?
• Let's meet at the cafe on Melrose. - The cafe on what?
• A: I'll send you the file later
• B: The Fi ...?
• C: File.

David: Amazing.

Sorry, what was that? I was wearing ear buds. Did you say something to me?

David: Ah, I'm sorry. What was that? Oh, you want to practice your pronunciation? All right. Let's do it. Here is today's phrase.

• I thought you were going to say Ramen Nikko-an.

All right. We have a couple of different points to zoom in on today, so let's get started.

First up, let's take thought and you, will join them together and have the schwa sound there. It sounds like this. thought you ... I thought you.

All right. We have a couple more schwas here today, were ... were going, to, to say ... were going to say, thought you were going to say.

All right. Now let's put it all together.

• I thought you were going to say Ramen Nikko-an.

All right. Instead of going to, we can also make this nice and smooth into gonna. gonna say ... All right, let's try that full sentence as well.

• I thought you were gonna say Ramen Nikko-an.

Both of these are used very frequently, so be sure to practice both, so you can use whichever you like. Great work today.

Onishi: Hey guys, do you usually use earbuds on the train?

Roza: Oh, absolutely. I really need music whenever I go somewhere, especially in Tokyo.

David: Oh, man, yeah. They are a must-have for me. If for no other reason than the noise canceling. Sometimes the trains I ride are very noisy in tunnels, and it helps because I have sensitive ears.

Onishi: Ah ha. いやぁ、みなさんお使いになってるんですね。ぼくはほとんど使ったことがありません。というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye!
