会った時

Morning, Arthur. How are you today?

Pretty good, Jenny. And you?

Couldn't be better, thanks.


Hello, Mike. How are you doing?

Not so good, I'm afraid. I've got a lousy cold.

Oh, that's too bad. I hope it clears up soon.

Thanks. So do I.


家を訪ねた時

Hello, please come in! It's nice to see you again.

Nice to see you, too.

Please sit down. How about some coffee?

Thanks.


Well, it's getting late. I'm afraid I must be going.

It's been good to see you. Do come again.

Thanks. I will. I enjoyed myself.


紹介する

Hi, Jenny. Nice to meet you.

Glad to meet you, Arthur, I've heard a lot about you.

Nothing too bad, I hope.

Only the best.


Let me introduce myself. I'm Arthur Dale.

Hello, I'm Jenny White. Pleased to meet you.

Where're you from?

I'm from Boston.

Really? I visited Boston last summer.

We have plenty to talk about, then.


天気について

What a nice day!

Yes, let's hope this good weather continues.


It's muggy today, isn't it?

Yes, it is, isn't it?


声をかける・答える 2　受け答え


わからない・聞き取れない

Do you like Chopin?

Do I like what?

Not what? who? Surely you've heard of Chopin, the famous composer?


I don't see what you're getting at.

OK, let me put it another way.


確認する・訂正する

And that was why you failed. Do you see what I mean?

Yes, I get the point.


So you mean smoking should be banned in all public places without exception?

No, you've misunderstood me. I mean all public places apart from designated smoking areas.


口をはさむ

And so I really think the government should increase military spending, and...

Mike, I'd just like to say I can't agree with you there.


ためらう

Congratulations, Mike! I hear you've passed your driving test.

That's right. Thanks. Would you like to go for a drive?

Er, well, maybe in a few months' time.


What color is it?

Well, it's, er, sort of, I suppose it's sort of, erm, reddish-brown.


Who was the first man to set foot on the moon?

Let me think. Wasn't it Neil Armstrong?


聞く・話しかける 1　質問する

Can you tell me who is in charge here?

Yes, Mr. Dale is. He's in the office over there.


Is the rumor true?

Yes, as far as I know.


Do you have any idea what the tallest building in the world is?

I'm sorry, I really don't know.


Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?

Not at all. Go right ahead.


What's your name?

I'm Ken Yamada.


Where are you from?

I'm from Nagoya, Japan.


How long have you been here?

About three weeks.


Why did you come here?

Mainly to study English.


What do you do?

I'm still at high school.


理由を聞く

Why are you so sleepy all the time?

I think it's because of this hot weather.


Why are you leaving so early?

In order to get there in good time.


Why on earth don't you buy a new one?

One reason is that I don't have enough money.


What was the reason for your absence this morning?

Well, you see, my wife felt sick so I took her to the hospital.


Why is this assignment handwritten?

The thing is, I don't know how to type.

Are you free this afternoon?

Yes, I am. Why?

We're going to the beach. Want to come along?

What about coming to my house tonight? We're going to play with my new computer game.

Well, I'd love to, really, but I've got an awful lot of homework to do.

Is it OK if I smoke?

I'd prefer you not to, if you don't mind. I don't like the smell.

That's impossible, I'm afraid. This is the busiest time of the year.

I'd like your advice about which courses to take this semester.

I recommend you to take as many English classes as you can.


I can't decide which to buy.

I think you should buy the better quality one.

Why don't I go on ahead and get dinner ready?

That's an excellent idea. See you soon, then.


How about going to a movie with me tonight?

Oh, I'm sorry, I wish I could, but I'm doing something tonight.


How about a drink?

No, thanks. My doctor has forbidden it.


聞く・話しかける 5　謝罪する


謝罪する

The accident was entirely due to your carelessness, you know.

Yes, I know. I'm terribly sorry.


You dry-cleaned this jacket for me, but it just won't do: it's still stained.

I'm very sorry, sir. We'll redo it for you free of charge.


How dare you suggest that no girl would go out with me!

I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.


Oops! Sorry, I've broken the glass.

Forget it. It was an accident.


遅刻した時

I'm really sorry I'm so late. I didn't realize it was this far.

Well, you're here now. That's what matters.


Sorry I couldn't get here earlier.

That's OK. It's not your fault the trains are running late today.

約束する

Let's meet tomorrow outside the station.

OK. How about three o'clock?

Fine. See you then.


Hello, Julie? This is Jenny. I'm sorry, but I can't make it after all.

Never mind. How about tomorrow, then?

That's fine.


I'm very sorry, but something urgent has come up, so I'm going to have to cancel my appointment.

Very well. Would you like to reschedule it?


This is a secret. You mustn't tell anyone about it. Do you promise?

Yes, I give you my solemn promise that I won't.

Hello, my name is Arthur Dale. I'd like to make an appointment to see Dr. Brown tomorrow morning.

聞く・話しかける 7　思いやる


気遣う・同情する

You look pale. Are you OK?

I don't feel well, actually.


You don't look very happy! What's bothering you?

What Ken said just now really annoyed me.


It's too bad you failed the test.

Yeah. I guess I'll just have to try harder next time.


I'm very sorry to hear your grandpa died.

Thank you. He was a great guy. I'm going to miss him a lot.

I can't jump that far!

Hey, give it a try!

意見を言う

I think you ought to see a doctor about that terrible cough.

I suppose you're right. I'll go tomorrow.


Do you agree that capitalism is better than socialism?

That's a difficult question. Both have good and bad points.


賛成する・同意する

The government should do something about this problem.

I agree (with you).


You can't expect adults to understand our problems.

That’s true!


反対する

I think exams are a complete waste of time.

That's ridiculous! They make you study harder.


The boss really annoyed me again today. I think I'll resign.

That would be very unwise. You have to support your family.


非難する

That was a very silly thing to do.

I know. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.


I wish you would tidy your room up occasionally.

Why are you always criticizing me, Mom?


無関心

You'll fail the test if you don't study harder.

I don't care.


Did you hear Mr. Rogers has been promoted?

Who cares?


予測する

Their plan is sure to fail.

Well, I wouldn't say that, but I agree it's unlikely to succeed.

断る

Hello, Julie? The reason I'm calling is to ask if you'd mind baby-sitting for us tonight.

Oh, I'm sorry, Jenny, but I have a date tonight.


Could you lend me your car this evening?

Forget it! I need it myself.


助けを申し出る

So you're moving next week? Is there anything I can do to help?

Why, yes, thank you. You could help me pack my books, if you wouldn't mind.

I'd be glad to.


Shall I put those bags on the rack for you?

Oh, thank you. How kind of you.


Do you need any assistance, sir?

No, thank you. I'm just looking around.

Well, I'll be over there if you need me.

OK. Thanks.


義務

I don't want to go on tomorrow's trip.

You don't have to go if you don't want to.


予定

What are you going to do this evening?

I'm tired, so I'm just going to relax in front of the TV.


I thought you were coming with us this evening.

Actually, I can't come on account of all this homework.

Here's the book you wanted for your birthday, dad.

Oh great! Thanks a lot, son.

I've just learned that I've been chosen to represent our school.

That's great!


Arthur and I have got engaged.

Oh, that's wonderful news, Jenny. Many congratulations. I'm so happy for you.


You look happy today!

Well done!


Jenny, you look great today! Where did you buy that fabulous dress?

What do you think about my new novel?

It's really good.

I really think you should come with me.

Well, if you insist.


I hear you're moving to the personnel department, Arthur.

Yes, well, I'd prefer not to, but it's the boss's orders.


I'm going to the ball game with Arthur this afternoon. Want to come along?

No, thanks. I can't stand that guy!


残念に思う

Oh dear! Jenny says she has the flu. We were really looking forward to going camping this weekend.

What a pity! Maybe I could take her place.


If only I had taken better care of my health!

Yes, it's a pity you didn't. But it’s never too late to start.


悲しむ

I'm feeling really low. Our dog Fido died this morning.

Oh, what a shame! How old was he?

Sixteen.

Well, that's a good age for a dog.


I've just heard some terrible news. Mr. Dale has been run over by a truck.

Oh dear, that's awful! How is he?

I don't know. Let's call the hospital and find out.
