Roxy, what did you think of today’s lecture?
It was interesting. Professor Peacock seems to be fascinated with ancient Egypt these days.
I thought that as well. I wonder why. Of course, everybody loves that civilization.
Ever since he returned from the South Pacific, he’s been talking about Egypt non-stop.
But surely there is no connection.
What do you think he found there?
Who knows? Perhaps it’s another time capsule or something.
You’re funny, William. Oh, by the way, I like your new glasses.
Thanks.

All right everyone, it’s time for pronunciation polish. Are you ready? All right, here’s today’s phrase.
What do you think he found there?
Let’s zoom in on a couple of points. First up is what plus do. Actually, many ways we can approach this, but for today, let’s start with what do. -what do -All right. Next up we have he. Remember that H sound will disappear. -he -he found -Oh, now let’s zoom in on found. That D sound will become very small, almost disappear. It’ll sound like this. -found -he found there -think he found there -What do you think he found there.
-All right. And as a quick bonus, let’s try one more variation for what plus do.
-What do -What do you think he found there?

Hey honey, I think it’s time to send Roxy another care package.
I was thinking the same thing.
I’m sure she misses all her favorite Japanese snacks.
Right. Do you want me to go shopping with you?
That would be great. I actually want to get a haircut at the mall today.
Yeah, your hair needs cutting.
Do you want me to drive?
How about riding our bikes to the mall?
Good idea. It’s nice weather for it.

--
I want you to do that. 「あなたにそれをしてほしい」＝直接的でやや強めの依頼。親しい間柄や上下関係で使う。
I need you to do that.「あなたにそれをしてもらう必要がある」＝wantよりも強い・義務的。職場などでよく使われる。
You want to back up your files regularly. 「ファイルは定期的にバックアップしたほうがいい」＝一般的アドバイス。日常会話ではこの形で「～したほうがいいよ」と優しく助言する感じで使う。
You might want to back up your files regularly. 「～したほうがいいかもしれないね」＝より柔らかい助言。控えめで丁寧。

You probably want to...「～したほうがいいと思う」＝やや控えめな推量＋助言。
You maybe want to... 「～したほうがいいかもしれない」＝さらに柔らかく曖昧。フォーマルではあまり使われず、カジュアルな話し言葉で使われる。

Would you like some advice? If you want people to respect you, then being honest is the key. You want to be polite, of course, but you want to tell the truth.
--
would you like /wʊd juː laɪk/ ～はいかがですか？ 丁寧な申し出・提案の表現。Do you want～? より柔らかい言い方。
some advice /sʌm ədˈvaɪs/ アドバイスを少し。advice は不可算名詞なので、“an advice” は誤り。

people /ˈpiːpəl/ 人々。複数を表す名詞。
to respect you /tə rɪˈspɛkt juː/ あなたを尊敬する。respect は動詞で「敬う・尊敬する」。
then /ðɛn/ それなら、それでは。接続副詞として結果を示す。
being honest /ˈbiːɪŋ ˈɑːnɪst/ 正直であること。being + 形容詞 は「～である状態」を名詞化する形。
is the key /ɪz ðə kiː/ 鍵である。重要な要素を示す定型表現。

of course /əv kɔːrs/ もちろん。話し手の当然の意見や共通認識を示す副詞句。
to tell the truth /tə tɛl ðə truːθ/ 真実を伝える、正直に話す。よく使われる慣用表現。

Would you like some advice on how to polish your pronunciation? Then you’ve come to the right place. Let’s jump in and start with today’s sentence. Here we go.
Do you want me to go shopping with you?
All right. We have a couple of points to zoom in on today. First up is “Do you.” This is super high frequency, so, these sounds will get nice and short. -do you -Just like that. -Next up we have want. That T-sound will disappear. -want me -Next up we have to. Again, nice and short with that O-sound. -to -to go -to go shopping with you -All right. Let’s put some chunks together, and then build the full sentence.
Do you want me -to go shopping with you?
Do you want me to go shopping with you?
So, there’s another way to do this want plus me and that’s just to delete the T. -want me -All right. Let’s practice that too. Do you want me to go shopping with you?
-All right. You’re doing great. There’s lots of high frequency and very useful things here. So, practice a lot and make it your own.
--
You want to tell the truth. -I wasn’t lying. -You want to tell the truth. -You can’t handle the truth. -I’m practicing. -I want you not to believe him when he says things like this. -But I want to believe.

Symptom
Medical checkup/check-up
--
Lately, I’ve been feeling sluggish and I get tired easily.
-If the symptoms continue, you might want to see a doctor. When was your last checkup? It could be nothing serious, but it’s always better to be sure. Your health comes first.
--
symptom /ˈsɪmptəm/ 症状。病気や体調不良のあらわれ。例：「cold symptoms（風邪の症状）」
medical checkup / check-up /ˈmɛdɪkəl ˈʧɛkʌp/ 健康診断、定期検査。“checkup” は “check-up” とも書かれる。どちらも正しい。
feel sluggish /fiːl ˈslʌɡɪʃ/ だるく感じる、動きが鈍い。“sluggish” は「活気がない・動作が遅い」の意味。
get tired easily /ɡɛt ˈtaɪərd ˈiːzɪli/ すぐに疲れる。体調不良やストレスのサインとして使われる。
If the symptoms continue /ɪf ðə ˈsɪmptəmz kənˈtɪnjuː/ 症状が続くようなら。“continue” は「継続する」。丁寧な助言の言い回し。
you might want to see a doctor /juː maɪt ˈwɑnt tuː siː ə ˈdɑktər/ （控えめな助言として）医者に診てもらった方がいいかもしれません。
It could be nothing serious /ɪt kʊd bi ˈnʌθɪŋ ˈsɪriəs/ 大したことではないかもしれません。“could be” は可能性を和らげる丁寧な言い方。
better to be sure /ˈbɛtər tuː bi ʃʊr/ 念のために確認したほうがよい。
“It’s better to be sure.”＝「用心に越したことはない」。
Your health comes first /jʊr hɛlθ kʌmz fɜːrst/ 健康が第一。直訳「あなたの健康が最優先」。励ましや忠告に使われる定番表現。
“Take care of yourself.” “Health should always be your priority.”
--
Show … around
temple
--
Is this your first time in Japan? It must feel exciting for you. I wish I could show you around. There’s a lot to see form traditional temples to modern cities. I hope you have a great stay.
--
first time /fɜːrst taɪm/ 初めての経験、初回。例：「Is this your first time in Japan?」＝「日本は初めてですか？」
It must feel exciting /ɪt mʌst fiːl ɪkˈsaɪtɪŋ/ 「きっとワクワクするでしょう」。“must” は確信を表す助動詞で、「〜に違いない」という意味。
show you around /ʃoʊ ju əˈraʊnd/ 案内する、連れて歩く。旅行や新しい場所でよく使う表現。
There’s a lot to see /ðɛrz ə lɑːt tuː siː/ 「見るべきものがたくさんある」。観光案内などでよく使われる自然なフレーズ。
from traditional temples to modern cities /frʌm trəˈdɪʃənl ˈtɛmpəlz tuː ˈmɒdərn ˈsɪtiz/ 「伝統的な寺院から近代的な都市まで」。対比を表す “from A to B” 構文。
have a great stay /hæv ə ɡreɪt steɪ/ 「良い滞在を」。ホテルや観光地などで別れ際に使う定番フレーズ。
--
Lately, I’ve been feeling sluggish and I get tired easily. By the way, what do you mean by sluggish?
Sluggish is a great word. “Slug is a ‘なめくじ’, and -ish just means ‘っぽい’.” So it’s like a slug. Slow-moving, not very fast.
So, it’s like the perfect way to describe when you have no energy to move around or do things.
It’s like me in the morning.
Great explanation. Thank you guys.
――
lately /ˈleɪtli/ 最近、近頃。“recently” より口語的で、継続的な状態に使われやすい。
feel sluggish /fiːl ˈslʌɡɪʃ/ だるく感じる、動きが鈍い感じ。“sluggish” は「動きが遅い」「活力がない」。
get tired easily /ɡɛt ˈtaɪərd ˈiːzɪli/ すぐ疲れる。“easily” は「簡単に」ではなく「すぐに・容易に」という意味。
By the way /baɪ ðə weɪ/ ところで、話題転換の定番フレーズ。カジュアルな会話でよく使う。
what do you mean by ...? /wʌt duː juː miːn baɪ/ 「〜とはどういう意味？」。語句や表現の意味を尋ねるときの基本表現。
slug /slʌɡ/ なめくじ。語源的に “sluggish（だるい）” の元。
-ish /ɪʃ/ 接尾辞「〜っぽい」「〜のような」。例：greenish（緑っぽい）、childish（子どもっぽい）。
slow-moving /sloʊ ˈmuːvɪŋ/ 動きの遅い。“slow moving” と2語でもOKだが、形容詞として名詞の前に置くときはハイフンでつなぐ。
have no energy to move /hæv noʊ ˈɛnərdʒi tuː muːv/ 動く気力（エネルギー）がない。疲労や無気力の表現に自然。
