SAY IT IN ENGLISH!
Situation 1:
あなたはボーイフレンドと初デート。車が小さいことを気にしている様子の彼に応答してください。
例えば
気にしないで。私は小さな車が大好きなの。私が子どものころ、父が彼の小さな車で、私を駅まで送ってくれたものです。それは、私の子ども時代のいちばんいい思い出のひとつよ。
など
[ヒント] 思い出 memories
[解答例]
A: My car is a bit small…
B: Don't worry. I love small cars. My father would drive me to the station in his small car when I was a kid. That's one of my fondest childhood memories.
[解説]
Don't worry. I love small cars. My father would drive me to the station in his small car when I was a kid.
気にしないで。私は小さな車が大好きなの。私が子どものころ、父が彼の小さな車で、私を駅まで送ってくれたものです。
I loveは「～が大好き」。3文目のwouldは「過去の習慣」。「～したものだった」。drive … to ～は「…を～に車で送る」。
That's one of my fondest childhood memories.
それは、私の子ども時代のいちばんいい思い出のひとつよ。
fond(好きな)は形容詞。名詞の前にも使えます。暖かい感触がするため、fondest memoriesはよく使われるコンビネーション。
Situation 2:
初デートでの感想を友人に聞かれたあなた。首尾を尋ねる友人に返答してください。
例えば
実はかなりきつかったんだ。彼女はすばらしい人だけど、彼女の食事のマナーにはショックを受けたよ。彼女はずっと、口を食べ物でいっぱいにしてしゃべるんだ。気分が悪かったよ。
など
[ヒント] 絶え間なく、延々と、ずっと the whole time
[解答例]
A: How did your first date go?
B: Actually, it was pretty rough. She is a great person, but her table manners shocked me. She talked with her mouth full the whole time. It was disgusting.
[解説]
Actually, it was pretty rough. She is a great person, but her table manners shocked me.
実はかなりきつかったんだ。彼女はすばらしい人だけど、彼女の食事のマナーにはショックを受けたよ。
Actually(実は)は、相手にとって意外なことを持ち出すときによく使われます。
She talked with her mouth full the whole time. It was disgusting.
彼女はずっと、口を食べ物でいっぱいにしてしゃべるんだ。気分が悪かったよ。
with her mouth fullは付帯状況のwithと呼ばれる使い方。her mouth = fullという意味関係があります。disgustingは、強い嫌悪感を表す形容詞でした。
ENDING
Onishi: Hey, guys. What kind of car do you like?
David: Well, I know for one thing. It can't be small. I have long legs. I need leg room.
Onishi: Hm hmm.
David: How about you, sensei?
Onishi: I like all kind of cars. 僕は英語界のカナタ・リヴィントン。
ろーざ: 先生、また漫画かあ!
大西: ねえ、二人とも。どんな車が好き？

大西: 僕はどんな車も好き。僕は英語界のカナタ・リヴィントン。
ろーざ: 先生、また漫画かあ!
