おはようございます。#ラジオ英会話 のディクテーションです。

うーん、壊れたものに話しかけて直ったことは、、、ないなぁ ^^;

Opening

Onishi: 家の電気製品、つまり家電。これはですね、生きてるんですよ。昨日、冷蔵庫がですね、冷えなくてピンチになったんですよね。で、どうしても直らないんで最後の手段。寝る前、「明日朝起きて、君冷えてなかったらもう捨てるよ。」って言ったらですね、朝起きたら直ってました。これで2回目です。

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: 先生、それたぶん、だれか再起動しただけじゃない?

Onishi: そうかもね。

Roza: Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. Well, Sensei, when your appliances act up, don't get heated. You need to chill.

Onishi: いや、そうかもしれませんね。それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

act up: うまく動かなくなる、だそうです

David: OK everyone. It's time for today's pronunciation polish. Are you ready? All right. Here is today's phrase.

  • You may also drive if it doesn't cause any pain.

OK, we have just a couple of small points to focus in on today, let's begin with if + it. if it ... very nice.

Next up, we have doesn't. The /t/ sound at the end will disappear. doesn't, if it doesn't. All right.

Last, we'll join up cause and any. cause any, cause any pain, if it doesn't cause any pain.

OK, we're ready for the whole phrase. Here we go.

Ending

Onishi: 冷蔵庫は生きてるよなぁ。

David: Really? When my appliances break down, I usually just kinda (kind of), tap them once or twice.

Roza: No, you have to give them something nice like, if it's a fridge, you give it a cake.

Onishi: それもいいアイデア、かもしれませんね。みなさんも言葉をかけてみてください。というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
