SAY IT IN ENGLISH!
Situation 1:
次の会議で提案をしようと思っているあなた。でも提案書にいまひとつパンチがありません。「調子はどう？」と、あいさつをしてきた同僚にアドバイスを求めましょう。
例えば
相変わらずよ。ところで、次のミーティングのための私の提案に目を通してくれる？あちこちにもっとパンチが欲しくて。一緒に昼食をとるのはどうかしら？
など
[ヒント] あちこちに here and there
[解答例]
A: Hi. How's it going?
B: Same as usual. By the way, can you look over my proposal for the next meeting? It needs more punch here and there. How about we have lunch together?
[解説]
Same as usual. By the way, can you look over my proposal for the next meeting?
相変わらずよ。ところで、次のミーティングのための私の提案に目を通してくれる？
same as usualのasは「＝（イコール）」。「いつもと同じ」ということ。あいさつへの返答としてよく使われます。
look over は「目を通す」。これができれば合格ですよ。
It needs more punch here and there. How about we have lunch together?
あちこちにもっとパンチが欲しくて。一緒に昼食をとるのはどうかしら？
punchは「力・迫力」
How aboutは「～してはどうでしょう？」という軽い提案。aboutの後ろにフルセンテンスを使うこともできます。
Situation 2:
今日は彼女と食事の約束をしているあなた。あいにく行きたかったレストランは満席。「レストランは決めた？」と電話をしてきた彼女に応答してください。
例えば
実はまだなんだよ。君を連れていきたかったレストランは満席だったんだ。ほかのレストランをチェックして、決めたらメールするよ。それでいいかな？
など
[ヒント] 満席で fully booked / ～を詳しく調べる・チェックする check ～ out
[解答例]
A: Have you decided on the restaurant?
B: Not yet, actually. The restaurant I wanted to take you to was fully booked. I'll check out other restaurants and text you when I've decided. Is that okay with you?
[解説]
Not yet, actually. The restaurant I wanted to take you to was fully booked.
実はまだなんだよ。君を連れていきたかったレストランは満席だったんだ。
actuallyは、相手にとって意外なことを持ち出すときに使われる「実は」。
次の文ではThe restaurant wanted以下の関係代名詞節が説明しています。ずいぶん長い主語ですが、頑張って音読してください。
bookは「～を予約する」。
I'll check out other restaurants and text you when I've decided. Is that okay with you?
ほかのレストランをチェックして、決めたらメールするよ。それでいいかな？
大切なポイントはtextが動詞で使われているところ。ここができたら素晴らしいですよ。
when I've decidedと現在完了形になっており、「決め終えたら」と完了のニュアンスがあります。
Is that okay with you?はまとめて覚えてください。
ENDING
Onishi: Hey guys. I found a good sushi bar near my place.
David: Ohh, I'll take that as an invitation.
Onishi: Nope.
Rosa: Make sure they have lots of uni, okay?
Onishi: They have none.
大西: ねえ、二人とも。うちの近くでおいしいお寿司屋さんを見つけたんだ。
デビッド: おっと、それってご招待ってとっちゃうよ。
大西: じゃないよ。
ろーざ: ウニがたくさんあるか確認してね。
大西: ひとつもないよ。
そう言えば、寿司屋さん(回転ずしを含む)なんて、何年行ってないだろう…。
