マサルとロキシーが、最近公開された人気映画について話しています。
Roxy, I just saw that new movie, Atlantis Wars. It was fantastic!
Really?
Uh-huh. It’s one of the most exciting movies I’ve ever seen.
What happens in it?
So, a long time ago, the people of Atlantis built pyramids all over the world.
Yeah? OK. And?
They had really advanced technology.
Oh, I see.
And then, there was a big war and everything got destroyed.
Hmm. That’s hard to believe.
Yeah, maybe. It’s just a movie.
散歩から戻ってきた異星人ゼイトクスが、マサミと話しています。
Zaytox! Did you have a nice walk?
Yes, I saw some humans. Humans really like mobile phones, don’t they?
Yeah. They weren’t looking at you?
Nobody cared. I heard some young people chatting. They were talking about pyramids.
Were they? Like the pyramids in Egypt?
I guess so. Humans don’t remember where pyramids came from.
Where did they come from?
From us. We aliens taught humans how to build them a long time ago.
Oh, did you?
Yes, that’s why they’re everywhere.
ドリスが、デスパレート・ラッツの元ベーシストで恋人のデレクと話しています。
Derek, do you really want to return to the Desperate Rats? It was your decision to leave the band.
Yeah, but I’m still a musician.
Yes, but they have a new bass player.
He’s nowhere near as good as I am.
That may be true, but Bill likes him. Why don’t you start your own band?
Nah, I’m not good at writing songs like Bill.
Sounds like you’ll always be a Desperate Rat.
Yeah, I guess so.
大ヒット映画「アトランティスウォーズ」の脚本を書いたピーコック教授が、記者会見でエマ・ロックから質問を受けています。
…And I’ll take the next question from the lady in blue there.
Thank you. I’m Emma Rock with the Big West Daily News.
Hello.
Professor, you wrote the screenplay for Atlantis Wars.
Yes. And your question?
Isn’t it strange for a university professor to be writing a script for a fantasy movie?
I agree with you up to a point, but I’ve written several books on the topic of Atlantis.
Yes, of course, but don’t you think people will get the wrong impression?
Oh, I certainly hope not.
金曜日の Say It In English!
①表現例
The forecast is saying we’ll have heavy rain tomorrow. What a bummer!
I can understand how you feel, but there’s nothing we can do about the weather.
Why don’t you come to my place and binge- watch some romantic movies with me? It’ll be a lot of fun!
②表現例
Do we really have to learn English grammar? It’s so boring.
I can see your point, but that’s not how I see it.
It takes children years to acquire their native language even though they are in an ideal environment. We don’t have such time, and grammar provides us with a great shortcut.
