恋人同士のダグとシホの会話です。
Doug, I have something to tell you.
Sounds serious. I’m listening.
I’ve decided to stay in Japan. I don’t think I want to live in America anymore.
Well, I’d be happy if you stayed here in Tokyo. What made you change your mind?
Things were not going as smoothly as I expected.
So, you won’t be going back to New York?
That’s right. It was a hard choice to make.
I’m sure you made the right decision.
異星人の後を追っているオメガ・ワン。火星への着陸を敢行します。
Commander, I’ve lost visual contact with the alien ship.
Where did it go?
I don’t know. It disappeared suddenly.
Well, we’re going to land on the surface anyway. Stay on course.
I’m not sure if we’ll make it to the planned landing site.
That’s OK, as long as we land somewhere.
Aye-aye, Commander. I’ll try to ensure a smooth landing.
Thank you, Akira. We’re finally landing on the Red Planet. It’s a dream come true.
ピーコック教授とジェシカが、教授のオフィスで話をしています。
Hi, Jessica.
Hello, Professor. I had a question for you. By the way, who was that older woman who just left your office?
Oh, her name is Aki. She really surprised me by coming here.
Really? She was smiling from ear to ear.
She made me this Mexican bracelet.
Oh, it’s nice. Why a Mexican bracelet?
Because we first met in Mexico in the 1980s.
That is a long time ago, but it looks like she’s still very fond of you.
イギリスに留学したロキシーが、日本にいる父親とオンラインで会話しています。
Hi, Roxy. How are things over there in England?
I love it here, Dad. Grandpa and Grandma are so nice.
Are they home now?
No, they went out to buy some scones for afternoon tea.
Are you crying, Roxy?
Sorry, Dad. I was watching a British TV show about onsen in Japan. It made me a little homesick.
It’s natural to feel homesick, especially at the beginning of your stay.
I guess so.
