かつての「友人」アキがピーコック教授の元にやってきます。
Brendan? Do you remember me?
Aki? My goodness. How many years has it been?
Let’s just say it’s been a long time.
Pleas sit down. Can I offer you a cup of tea?
I said the same thing to you when we first met.
Yes, at the Pyramid of the Sun. You offered me iced tea.
It seems like yesterday.
You’re as lovely as ever, Aki. You haven’t changed a bit.
And you’re as handsome as ever, Brendan.
1年間の留学を終え帰国したシホが、恋人のダグと東京の空港で再会します。
Doug!
Shiho! Welcome home! Wow, you look great.
Thanks. You’ve put on a few kilos, I see.
Yeah, I’ve been so busy I couldn’t do any exercise.
That’ll do it.
Your English is getting better and better. You sound like a New Yorker.
Do I?
Yes! Your English is probably better than mine now. I’ve been in Japan for so long.
I doubt that. Anyway, I’m dying for some real sushi.
I know just the place.
異星人の宇宙船を見張っているオメガ・ワンのメーガンとアキラ。異星人を追って火星に降下を始めます。
Commander, the alien spacecraft is going down to the surface of Mars!
Well, we were going down there anyway. Let’s follow it.
Can you believe this is really happening?
I had a feeling we weren’t alone in the universe.
Really?
Yes, the Earth is no more than a little planet.
I guess the universe is too big for only us humans.
Exactly. Prepare for landing, flight engineer.
Aye-aye, Commander.
デスパレート・ラッツのシンシアとビルが、自分たちのバンドのことで話しています。
I think we’ll go down in history as an influential rock group.
You mean like the Beatles or something?
Of course, we’ll never be that famous. But I hope some of my song lyrics stand the test of time.
Are you serious? What’s so remarkable about them?
They obviously reflect the philosopher on me.
You’re no more a philosopher than my cat!
Hey, don’t knock cats. They’re wiser than humans in many ways.

I lost confidence in my English.
Come on! Your English is already great. And I’m sure it will get better and better if you keep practicing.
The harder you try, the more confident you will be!
②表現例
I’ve seen this guy. He’s a friend of yours?
Right. Ken was no more than a regular young man when I first met him. But he has worked really hard, and now he has a huge company with no less than 200 branches all over the world.
Remember, hard work always pays off.
