I'm Linda Ray and I'm sitting here with the notorious Long John Silver.
Oh, that's no way to introduce a gentleman.
I beg your pardon, Mr. Silver. But aren't you the fictitious pirate from the novel, "Treasure Island"?
Aye. That Robert Stevenson got me all wrong. I'm a good-humored, lovable pirate.
（Aye = Yes. Aye, aye, sir! [アイアイ・サー] のaye）
（good-humored = 機嫌の良い、上機嫌な、陽気な）
（lovable pirate = 愛すべき海賊）
I see. Let's hear about the real Mr. Silver.
Call me Jack.
Jack? But isn't your name John?
I've changed it to Jack after the success of Jack Sparrow.
You do follow the trend.
Yes, I do. And I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp too.
Oh, that was fun.
Yes.
And it's always fun, everyday day we get to work with the notorious Ken.
Yes.
Oh, well, you got me all wrong. I'm a slightly better person than that.
Of course.

And now Terminator is going to tell his side of the story. Terminator, sir?
There was a point in my life when I despised humans.
（despised =軽蔑された、侮蔑された、侮られた、嫌われた）
And that was when you began to use your famous catchphrase, “I'll be back.”
Don't put words in my mouth!
I'm sorry. Go on.
I was on a mission impossible. Time was tight and I was in culture shock.
Sounds tough.
It was.

I didn't know that side of the story.
I didn't either, Arnie. No idea.
（アーノルド・シュワルッェネッガーニックネームを日本では「シュワちゃん」ですが、 本国アメリカでは「アーニー」と称されている）
It was not a very good impression.
Oh, it was really good.
Boy, I'd like to hear more. （Boy = わあ、へえ〜）
Oh yes, me too. But time is tight.

So, Ebenezer, what happened on Christmas Eve of 1843?
I'll never forget it. Four ghosts appeared before me!
Wow! A party of four! Who was the ghostess?
（ホステス hostess や waitress の「ess」）
There was no lady ghost.
Oh man! Did you call Ghost Busters?
Who?
Never mind, Ebenezer. Did they appear all at once?
No, no, no! One at a time!
What did the first ghost say?
He warned me about the Three Ghosts of Christmas.
That sounds scary.
It was. It turned my life around.
Stay tuned. We'll hear more tomorrow.

So all in all, meeting those ghosts was a positive experience.
No, no, no! I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
So what message would you like to give to people?
Well, I twittered this earlier today but don't lead a life of greed and parsimony. Be generous and spread joy, especially during the Christmas season. I put that on my blog too.
Oh, Ebenezer, you're such a dear man!
Thank you, my dear! And here's an extra message for everyone.
What is it, Ebenezer?
Keep listening to Rajio Eikaiwa.
Keep practicing with the three.
And keep on smiling.

Ken, you popped in there.
Yeah.
Well, I had no choice.
Hmmm...
So, Ken, are we going to give the listeners a bunch of homework for the New Year's holiday?
No, no, no. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
