• Stay out of it.
• It's not your concern.
• Mind your own business.

R: Let's continue.

• Come off it.

============================
◆ Typical Expressions / Practice
============================

◆ 彼女は……になり始めました
J: Yeah, the Japanese sounds a little bit like in the past tense.
K: I know what you mean. Yeah.
J: But in English, you can actually use the verb, "start."
K: Uh-huh.
J: And say "She's starting to 何々," which is present continuous.

******

J: I know they did.
Y: Oh, yeah, that's something.

◆ 新居
K: home というのはどうですか？New home…
Y: Oh, that's a great word. "Home" has the feeling of warmth like "home sweet home," your dear place that you're gonna live in.
Y: Oh, sure. There's a useful expression, you can say "place," "new place."
Y: Yeah, you can use it in a wide variety of way, like, it can mean an apartment, not just a house. It can mean a studio, all sorts of places.

◆ ……に着いています
J: Well, yes, in English, you could either use the present tense, which would be .... they are at their new place.
K: Ah, okay.
J: They are there.
K: Uh-huh.
J: But you can also say "they reached their new place some time ago, and they're still there."
K: Yeah, they are there.
J: Right. So, you can put the past and the present together, and actually get a little bit closer to the Japanese. So, you can use "they have reached their new place," or "they have reached their new home."

◆ 痛みがひとすぎて作業ができない
Y: Yeah, let's use the pattern "too 何々 to do something." So, in this case, it would be "It hurts too much to work."

◆ ……することにします
J: Oh, we are going to use the word "decide." So, "they decide to 何々," or "They decide to do something."
K: OK.

*******

J: I know they did.
Y: I know. Yeah.
J: They always do. Way to go.

M: Can you move it?
R: Yeah, a little bit. But ... yeah.

◆ 運転すると申し出ます
J: Yeah, I think the most natural way or the best way to say it would be to use the word "offer," "offer to 何々, "offer to do something." So, in this case, it would be "Risa offers to drive."

◆ 二人は……するつもりです
K: intend to はどうでしょうか？
Y: Well, "intend to" is kind of formal.
K: Uh-huh.
Y: Yeah, I think we can make it easier by saying "are going to."
Y: They are going to...

****

J: I'm sure they did.
Y: They aced it, I'm sure.
K: All right.
J: Good job!
K: Great.

K: It's not necessarily tennis related disorder.
J: No, it can be anything that impacts your elbow.
J: Yes, golfers, maybe fencers, weightlifters get it, I think.
K: Okay.
J: Yeah.

Y: Yeah, sure, like uh... in professions, butchers... How about cooks?
J: Painters, carpenters... climbers...
Y: Sure.
J: Anything that impacts your elbow often enough, it can make painful.
K: Some people like who type.
Y: Uh-huh.
J: Yes.
K: ... type a lot.
Y: Or mothers, carry babies a lot, fathers also. I had it too.
J: Lifting babies or toddlers, yeah, that will do it.

J: Yes, in English it's the same, "runners knee."
Y: Athlete's foot.
J: You don't have to be an athlete to get athlete's foot.
Y: No, and you don't want to it. Believe me.
K: No.

J: Once again, the English is the same, "swimmer's ear."

Y: Swimmer's shoulder.

J: And there's also frozen shoulder.
J: ... meaning that it gets very stiff. It gets uh... yeah, it gets stiff and hard to move, frozen shoulder.
J: It doesn't have to be frozen, that doesn't have to be cold.

◆ 引っ越し用トラック
K: 引っ越しは moving でよろしいですか？
Y: That's right. So, it would be called "a moving track."
Y: Now, be careful, "moving (ムー[ヴィ]ング) track" would mean a track that is moving. So, be careful not to make the mistake of saying "moving (ムー[ヴィ]ング) track." The right expression for what we are talking about is "moving ([ム]ーヴィング) track."

(ストレスの位置が違います)

◆ 引っ越し用トラックに……を積みます
Y: OK, so, if you know the word "load," then the rest is easy, "load 何々 into a moving track." So, in this case, it would be "load one last box into the moving track."

◆ いろいろ手伝ってくれた隣人のババさんに感謝します
K: How would you do that in English? Uh... Jeff?
J: Right. So, there's two ways of saying this. Uh... you want to thank or they want to thank the person, so, it would be "thank" and then "Baba-san" and then you would put a comma, their neighbor. You want to know who he is. So, thank Baba-san, (comma) their neighbor, (comma), and then "for everything."

J: The other way is you put their neighbor first, so, "thank their neighbor, (comma) Baba-san, (comma) and then "for everything."

J: So, either way is fine.

****

J: I think they did.
Y: Uh-huh.
J: I'm pretty sure they did.
Y: Yeah.
K: If you think so.
J: Well done!
K: Oh, I'm sure they did.
