SAY IT IN ENGLISH!
Situation 1:
浴室に入ったあなたは、大きなクモを見つけます。あなたの叫び声を聞いて駆けつけた夫に応答してください。
例えば
もう大丈夫。私がクモをすごく怖がっているって知っているわよね?お風呂場で大きなクモを見つけたと思ったの。だけどそれはあなたの靴下だったわ!
など
[ヒント] クモ spider / 靴下 sock(片方なので単数)
[解答例]
A: What's happening?
B: I'm okay now. I'm so afraid of spiders, you know? I thought I found a huge spider in the bathroom. But it turned out to be your sock!
[解説]
I'm okay now. I'm so afraid of spiders, you know? I thought I found a huge spider in the bathroom.
I'm okay. は「私は大丈夫」まとめて覚えてくださいね。
afraid of ~ は「～恐れる・～が怖い」でした。
hugeは「巨大な」で、大きさを印象づけるためによく使われる表現です。
But it turned out to be your sock!
turn out to beは「結局～であることがわかる」という意味です。
Situation 2:
友人が高校時代のボーイフレンドのケンを見たと言います。だけどその人は10年前に亡くなっているはず。応答してください。
例えば
君はボーイフレンドを見たって言っているのかい?10年前に亡くなった人? ありえないよ!まさか彼のあとをつけたわけじゃないだろうね。怖いよ。

A: Listen to this. I went shopping in Shibuya yesterday, and I saw Ken walking down the street.
B: Are you saying you saw your boyfriend? The one who died ten years ago? That can't be! Don't tell me you followed him. You're scaring me.
[解説]
Are you saying you saw your boyfriend? The one who died ten years ago? That can't be!
Are you saying ～は「～と言っているのですか?」相手の発言内容を問いただす定番表現。
That can't be!は「ありえない」。
このフレーズができたかどうかがポイントです。
Don't tell me you followed him. You're scaring me.
Don't tell me ～は「～だなんて言わないでくれ」そこから「まさか～じゃないでしょうね」。
You're scaring me. は「あなたは私を怖がらせている」ということ。
ENDING
Onishi: Hey guys. Have you ever had a scary spider experience?
Rosa: Oh, actually, recently I had one. So, I looked in my Genkan. And I saw this huge huntsman spider. I was terrified because it was so big, bigger than my hand. I thought "Why is this spider here in Tokyo, in the city"? And then I realized, it must have come in the box that I had shipped from the countryside.
大西: 田舎から取り寄せた荷物に紛れ込んでいたアシダガグモを見つけてしまったという話ですね。確かに怖いですね。デビッドさんは?
David: Oh. Well, I had a dream that I was a spider once. But it wasn't bad. I looked in the mirror. And I said "So, I'm a spider. So what"?
大西: 了解でーす。
大西: ねえ、ふたりとも。今までに怖いクモ体験ある？
ろーざ: ああ、実は最近あったの。 うちの玄関をのぞいたら巨大なアシダカグモが見えて。怖かったあ。だってものすごく大きくて、私の手より大きいんだもの。何でこんなクモがここ東京にいるわけ？町中に？って思ったわ。それからそうかと思ったの、きっと自分で田舎から送った箱の中にはいってきたんだって。
大西: 田舎から取り寄せた荷物に紛れ込んでいたアシダガグモを見つけてしまったという話ですね。確かに怖いですね。デビッドさんは?
デビッド: ああ、そうだな。前にクモになった夢は見たな。でも悪くはなかったよ。鏡を見て「へえ、僕クモになったんだ。だから何？」って言ったからね。
大西: 了解でーす。
