アンドロイドのジーニーがフランク・N・スタイン博士に、自分たちを作った理由を尋ねています。
Dr. Stein, why did you create me and Frankie?
Wow, what a question! And out of the blue.
Is it such a difficult question?
What I meant was, I wasn’t expecting you to ask such a thing.
Why not?
Because it’s so… human.
Didn’t you want Frankie and me to be like humans?
I suppose you have a point there.
So, what is the answer?
Why? Maybe because I wanted a family.
I see. Thank you, Dr. Stein.
ヤヨイは、業績考課についての面談を部下のジョナスとしています。
Jonas, I’m afraid you have not achieved all your work goals.
Which goals?
You were supposed to attend some educational workshops, but you haven’t.
That’s true.
And there have been some complaints about your chatting in the office.
Chatting? I don’t chat so much.
You do, Jonas.
I completely disagree. That’s not how I see it. I am building connections with coworkers.
People are busy and need to concentrate.
I see. I’ll dial it back then.
地球に戻っているオメガ・ワンの船長メーガンが、火星基地にいるアキラと交信しています。
Commander, why do I have to fly to the moon? Are you serious?
Actually, I’m not. It was a joke.
A joke?
Yes. You seemed a bit down, Akira. I wanted to make you smile.
Oh, I didn’t understand the joke. So, let me get this straight. I can fly directly back to Earth?
Yes, Akira.
You’re serious this time.
Yes, I am.
What a relief! I’m finally leaving Mars! Thank goodness! Woohoo!
新婚のピーコック教授とアキが、オックスフォードの新居で話をしています。
It’s a lovely day.
Yes, I love this kind of weather.
Aki, do you feel at home here?
Not yet. It’s going to take time.
Is there anything you need?
Um, I’d like to put a kotatsu in the living room.
A kotatsu? Those low tables with a heater?
Yes, it’s needed for the colder months.
I hate to disagree, but it’s not really necessary.
But my legs will get cold.
Don’t worry. We have central heating.
金曜日の Say It In English!
①表現例
I think I’ll release him. Life is precious, right?
Are you serious? The fish you have is a non-native species. If you release it into a river, the ecosystem may be destroyed.
Never do that. I can take care of it if you want me to.
②表現例
Maybe learning English is not for me.
Oh, come on! What are you talking about? Learning a language takes a lot of time.
Even if the learning seems slower than you expected, the process is definitely taking place inside you. Keep at it.
