Say It In English!

英語で下記の内容を表現してみよう。必ず声に出して練習しよう。

あなたはおもちゃ会社の本社社員。
LA支店から発売されたアメリカ版「のびーるちゃん」の売れ行きが、芳しくないと聞きました。 応答してください。


①Staff at the LA branch

Nobiiru-chan is not selling as well as we hoped.


でも、「のびーるちゃん」はうちの主力商品のひとつです。
ここではずっとベストセラー のおもちゃなんですよ。
わからないなぁ。

But Nobiiru-chan is one of our main products.
It’s been a bestselling toy here.
I don’t get it.
 

問題はおもちゃ自体じゃないのかも。
もしかすると、販売戦略に何か問題があるのかも。

Maybe the problem isn’t the toy itself.
Maybe there’s something wrong with our marketing strategy.
 

main product: 主力商品
bestselling toy: ベストセラーのおもちゃ
marketing strategy: 販売戦略
the toy itself: そのおもちゃそれ自体

「のびーるちゃん」の売れ行き不振は、髪があまり伸びないからです。「販売戦略が原因?」と言う本社社員に返答してください。

②Staff at Tokyo headquarters

Maybe there’s something wrong with our marketing strategy.


おっしゃることはわかります。
ですが問題は、「のびーるちゃん」の髪の毛が伸びるのが温度や湿度次第なことなんですよ。

I know what you mean.
But the problem is that Nobiiru – chan’s hair growth depends on the temperature and humidity.
 

ご存じのとおり、LAはとても暑いわけでも湿度が高いわけでもありません。
だから髪が思ったほど伸びないのです。

As you know, LA is neither very hot nor humid.
So, its hair doesn’t grow as much as expected.
 

The problem is that ~.: 問題は~だということ
temperature: 温度
humidity: 湿度
neither A nor B: AでもBでもない
not as ~ as expected: 期待・予想されていたほど~ない
