SAY IT IN ENGLISH!
Situation 1:
友人と渋谷スクランブル交差点に行ったあなた。ハチ公像と写真を撮ることを提案してください。
例えば
ねえ、あれを見て。なんてかわいいイヌの像なの!私、あれをウェブサイトで以前見たことがあると思うわ。そのすぐ隣に立って、誰かに私たちの写真を撮るように頼みましょうよ。
など
[ヒント] イヌの像 dog statue
[解答例]
A: Wow, so many people!
B: Hey, look at that. What a cute dog statue! I think I've seen it before on a website. Let's stand right next to it and ask someone to take our photo.
[解説]
Hey, look at that. What a cute dog statue! I think I've seen it before on a website.
lookは「視線を向ける」という動作。自動型で使います。
what以下は感嘆文。名詞a cute dog statueに感嘆するため、「What + 名詞 + 主語 + 動詞!」の語順。ここでは主語 + 動詞は省略されていますね。
そしてI've seenはI have seen。現在完了形を使って経験を表しています。
Let's stand right next to it and ask someone to take our photo.
next to は「～の隣」。
ask … to～は「…に～するように頼む」。
Situation 2:
ラップトップを買い替えて喜んでいる同僚。「ずっとこのモデルを待っていた」と言う同僚に、そのパソコンの何がそんなに特別なのか、説明を求めてください。
例えば
よかったね!これでもっと効率的に仕事ができますね？ところで、そのモデルの何がそんなに特別なのか説明してくれる？
など
[ヒント]効率的に efficiently
[解答例]
A: I finally replaced my laptop! I've been wanting this model for a long time.
B: Good for you! You can work more efficiently now, can't you? By the way, can you explain what's so special about that model?
[解説]
Good for you! You can work more efficiently now, can't you?
Good for you!は「よかったね！」。よく使われる決まり文句です。
次の文は付加疑問文。軽い疑問・念押しを表します。
efficientlyの比較級がmore efficiently。気軽に比較級を使ってくださいね。
By the way, can you explain what's so special about that model?
explainは他動型で使います。explain aboutとしないようにしましょう。
what's so special about～はwh節。「何がそんなに特別なのか」ということ
ENDING
Onishi: Hey guys, have you ever taken a photo with Hachiko?
David: Well, not the actual dog, with the statue? in Shibuya? Yes, I have maybe twenty years ago.
Onishi: Really?
Rosa: I actually don't remember if I've ever taken a photo with Hachiko, maybe not.
大西: なるほど。でも見るだけでもとてもかわいらしいですよね。
大西: ねえ、二人とも。ハチ公と写真を撮ったことってある？
デビッド: やあ、実際の犬ではなく渋谷のハチ公像とだね? あるよ、たぶん20年前かな。
大西: そうなんだ。
ろーざ: 実のところ、ハチ公と写真を撮ったことがあるかどうか、私は覚えてないな。多分ないかも。
大西: なるほど。でも見るだけでもとてもかわいらしいですよね。
