B. Zaytox knows where the pyramids came from.
C. Zaytox built the world's pyramids.
Listen up.
Masami: Zaytox! Did you have a nice walk?
Zaytox: Yes, I saw some humans. Humans really like mobile phones, don't they?
Masami: Yeah. They weren't looking at you?
Zaytox: Nobody cared. I heard some young people chatting. They were talking about pyramids.
Masami: Were they? Like the pyramids in Egypt?
Zaytox: I guess so. Humans don't remember where pyramids came from.
Masami: Where did they come from?
Zaytox: From us. We aliens taught humans how to build them a long time ago.
Masami: Oh, did you?
Zaytox: Yes, that's why they're everywhere.
The answer is B. Zaytox knows where the pyramids came from.

Peacock: Yes. And your question?
Emma: Isn't it strange for a university professor to be writing a script for a fantasy movie?

Peacock: Oh, I certainly hope not.

SAY IT IN ENGLISH!
Situation 1:
あなたは明日、ボーイフレンドと高尾山に登る計画をしていましたが、天気予報によると明日は豪雨。がっかりする彼を慰めてください。
例えば
気持ちはわかるけど、天気についてはどうしようもないわ。私の家に来て、私と恋愛映画を一気に見ない?きっとすごく楽しいわよ!
[ヒント] 恋愛映画 romantic movie
[解答例]
A: The forecast is saying we'll have heavy rain tomorrow. What a bummer!
B: 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!
[解説]
I can understand how you feel, but there's nothing we can do about the weather.
I can understand how you feel, butは相手への配慮が感じられるひと言。
there's nothing we can do aboutも学習済み。
Why don't you come to my place and binge- watch some romantic movies with me? It'll be a lot of fun!
Why don't youは気軽な提案を表すフレーズです。
Situation 2:
ネイティブスピーカーの子どもは、文法を学ばなくても英語が話せるでしょう?と言う学生に、英文法学習の利点を伝えてください。
例えば
言っていることはわかりますが、私の見方とは異なります。子どもたちは理想的な環境にありながら、母語を獲得するのに何年もかかります。私たちにはそんな時間はありません、そして文法は私たちにすばらしい近道を与えてくれるのです。
など
[ヒント]獲得する acquire / 環境 environment
[解答例]
A: Do we really have to learn English grammar? It's so boring.
B: 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.
[解説]
I can see your point, but that's not how I see it.
I can see your point, butは学習済み。
how以下はwh節。「どのように私がそれを見るのか」「私の見方」両用の形。
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.
take children yearsは「子どもたちは何年もかかる」。takeは授与型で「マイナスの授与」。「子どもたちから何年も奪う」関係を表します。
even thoughは「～にもかかわらず」
そしてprovideは「与える」です。
