教師のベニー・ジェッツ先生とスミス先生がデスパレート・ラッツのコンサートに行ってきたようです。
Bennie, wasn’t that concert on Saturday great?
Honestly, Mr. Smith, it was a little disappointing.
Really? Why?
Well, I always enjoy their classic hits, but their new songs are rather boring. And Bill Bungalow’s jokes in between the songs were annoying.
You have a point. I didn’t find them funny at all.
The Desperate Rats should just play music and not talk so much.
I agree.
新婚夫婦のケリーとタクマが、アパートで結婚式の写真を眺めています。
Kelly, look at this picture of your parents. They look so happy.
Yes, I think they were relieved more than anything else.
We almost didn’t have the wedding.
It wasn’t perfect. I was disappointed with the food.
I didn’t have time to eat. Some guests were bored by the speeches.
Yes, my Uncle Barry went on and on.
Well, he is a famous talk show host.
True. People seemed excited to learn that Barry King is my uncle.
シホとダグが、ダグの故郷のテキサスで買い物をしています。
So, Shiho. How did you like the Texas barbecue?
It was OK, I guess.
Just OK? We had real T-bone steak.
The taste was fine, but it was too tough. My jaw is sore.
Well, I think that’s what a real steak should be so like. Anyway, tonight we’re having tacos.
Chicken tacos sound great. We need avocados, right?
Of course, for the guacamole. These are still too hard. Let’s look for some softer ones.
OK.
エモリさんとシンディは奈良の法隆寺近くで柿を食べています。
Cindy, what do you call this fruit in English?
It’s a persimmon.
There is a haiku about persimmons by the poet Masaoka Shiki.
Well, persimmons are autumn fruits. And I know that seasonal expressions are essential for haiku.
Exactly. He wrote, “Eat a persimmon, a bell rings at Horyuji.”
Oh, we’re near that temple. Let’s take a bite and see what happens. Hmm. I don’t hear a bell.
Maybe it depends on the time of day.
Right!
