3/5 〜 3/8

So Katie...
Yes.
What's another situation going to be like?
Well, this time, it's a robot project.

                • -

What's going on with Leo?
He's stressed about his homework.
What homework?
It's his science fair project. He says it's a flop.

(flop = a complete failure)

What is his project?
It has something to do with his jan-ken-pon robot. He says his robot is too smart to lose. He's pretty discouraged.

(discourage = to make someone feel less confident, enthusiastic, and positive about something, or less willing to do something)

I'll go talk to him. Or should we ask our Robodog?
Ask him. If anyone can cheer him up, he can.

                  • -

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Doe, but I'm listening to the English conversation for robots right now. It'll be over soon though.
No problem, Pookie.
Oh, you remember my name?
Thank you, Pookie.
Call me Robodog.
Oh, Robodog.
Right.

                    • -

What was that?
Hmm...
Well, I guess we'd better finish this program.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I'm stressed about my acting there.
Oh!

So, what's another situation going to be like today, Jeff?
It's about a jan-ken-pon robot project.

                            • -

Hey, buddy. How's your jan-ken-pon robot coming along?
Who cares?
That bad, huh?
Yeah! Nobody can beat him.
Really? If I'm not mistaken, Snowy seems to be winning.
Oh, yeah. Wow! Snowy just won!
Now what do I do?
You win some, you lose some.

(You win some, you lose some. = 勝つこともあれば、時に負けることもある)

Snowy, good kitty!
Pookie is winning too! How can he do it?
It's easy as pie, Leo. It's jan-ken-"paw," right? So I show him my paw.

(It's easy as pie. = 朝飯前よ! めちゃめちゃ簡単)

It's very powerful.
Very good!

                            • -

Ung.. こいつぁすごいな puns.
Puns.
Puns are flying.  
(ダジャレが飛び交っている)

I have a problem. Not one idea has come to mind to end this show.
Let's just do it the way we always do it.
Yeah.
All right.

                • -

That was easy.

So Katie, what's another situation going to be like?
Oh, they sing their lines to tune of "Scarborough Fair."

Good luck.

                        • -

What kind of bird was that, Leo?
It was a sparrow.
Well, it's a good start.
It's not funny! Pookie and Snowy could have hurt that poor little bird. And look -- Pookie knocked over my feeder.
Watch where you're going, Pookie.
I'm no good at this! All I saw today was one little sparrow.
Well, we'll just have to do something about that.

      • -

Oh, nice.
Not bad.
Well, all I enjoyed today on the program was one little song by you guys.
Uh-huh.
Even though we were no good at that.
You were really good.

So, Jeff...
Uh-huh?
What's another situation going to be like this time?
Well, Mary is very upset about 12 birdfeeders.

Of course.
Who isn't?

                          • -

Do you really need all those sacks of birdseed?

(sack = a large strong bag for storing and carrying things, a strong paper bag for carrying goods from a store)

Yes, because we're making a dozen birdfeeders.
What? Why a dozen? Why so many?
Well, my science teacher said the more bird species I record, the better.
So the teacher wants us parents to spend a lot of money so that he'll be more than satisfied with the results.

Well, you're going a little too far.
(ちょっと言い過ぎだよね You are not nice to the teacher. Don’t say that.)

You are the ones that are going too far!
(あなたがたこそやり過ぎなんじゃないの You two are doing too much.)
Oh!
I have some misgivings about feeding so many birds.

(misgivings = a feeling of doubt or worry about a future event)

Don't worry. We have things under control.

Aaaaah!
Do you?

              • -

Well, I hope they enjoyed the show today.
Oh, I think.
They are more than satisfied.
More than satisfied with the show.
That's reassuring.

(reassuring = 安心させる、元気づける、心強く感じさせる making you feel less worried)

Yes.
