Eikaiwa Time Trial
Let’s get started with Day 5 for the month of November.
Hi, everyone. I’m Steve Soresi.
今年度のテーマは英語でつながる船の旅、今月はアイスランドが舞台です。
(This year’s theme is English Connecting Boat Trips, and this month the setting is Iceland.)
早速一緒に旅をする会話パートナーを呼びましょう。 ノラさんです。
(Let’s call our conversation partner who will travel with us right away. This is Nora.)
Hi, everyone. I’m Nora Kennedy. Let’s go to Iceland. It’s our last stop around the Atlantic together. We will have some good conversations there.
ヨーロッパの皆さんにとって、 アイスランドはどんな国か聞いてみましょう。
(Let me ask you what Iceland is to Europeans.)
When you or when Europeans think of Iceland, what do you think of?
Well, It’s a small country with a lot of volcanoes.
Ah, yes, of course.
And the other thing about Iceland is that it has a really small population.
That’s true. アイスランドは、ヨーロッパの中でも、とても人口の少ない国の一つですね。
(Iceland is one of the few countries in Europe with a very small population.)
このような会話のキャッチボール、世間話、つまりすスモールトークは、大事ですね。会話の糸口を掴んで世間話出来るようになりましょう。
(This kind of conversation, the talk of the world, in other words, small talk is important. Let’s grab the thread of conversation and be able to talk about the world well.)
Here we go!
Taiwa Karaoke Around the Atlantic!
ラジオを通して英語で模擬会話をしましょう。
So, let’s check out today’s scene. Imagine this. You and I are going to see the magical northern lights in Iceland.
あなたは今日ノラさんとオーロラを見に行きます。
As we are waiting… We’ll chat about the news. One big news story is the U.S. presidential election.
アメリカの大統領選挙ですね。 その結果が間もなく出るというシーンです。 選挙について少し話を振られますよ。
(It’s the U.S. presidential election. The scene is that the results will be out soon. You’ll be asked to talk a little about the election.)
And if we’re lucky, we might be able to see the northern lights.
運が良ければオーロラを見ることができるかもしれません。
Did you picture the situation?
それでは、ノラさんの英語の問いかけに対して、ポーズの間に自由に英語で返答しましょう。
(Now, feel free to respond to Nora’s English question in English during the pause.)
So, try to have a seven-turn conversation as we chat together under the skies of Iceland. Ready? Start!
–
Oh, hello! Chilly tonight, isn’t it?
Looks like good weather to catch the northern lights.
オーロラが見られそうな天気ですねと言われました。 自由に一言返しましょう。
(I was told that the weather looks like it would be a good time to see the Northern Lights. Feel free to say a few words back.)
By the way, we’re getting the U.S. presidential election results soon. Who do you hope will win?
大統領選挙では誰が勝ちそうか聞かれました。 自由に答えましょう。
(You asked who is likely to win the presidential election. Feel free to answer.)
