ラジオ英会話   Monday, June 17

What makes you think you’re cut out for the job, Ms. Superwoman?
Well, I'm fast and powerful.
For example?
I can run faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive.
Hmm... that’s commendable.
I have 20/20 vision.
Good.
And I can fly. I've got 240,000 hours of flight time under my belt.
Very impressive. You've got the right stuff.

Hmm...
One question.
Hmm?
Why do you want to go to other planets in a spacecraft if you have such
super powers?
It’s not so easy to fly in a vacuum, you know, I tend to get exhausted.
(vacuum = 真空)
I see. You got the job.
Yes!

Superwoman is a lucky woman.
She is. And she was honest. She gave an honest answer and he said, "We're
hiring you."
Honesty counts.

Katie and Jeff, would you like to go to the moon?
Wheeeey, I'd love to go in the outer space.
Really? Oh, I think I'll stay put.
How about you, Ken?
Well, yes, well, no, but there's something more important than this.
What's that?
We'll be closing our program shortly.
Oh, I see.

Yes.
