★ ベンは……するようにと言われます
C: Well, we want to say that Ben has been told to do something. So, I'd recommend using the passive voice here. And It'll be, " Ben is told to何々."
(passive voice = 受動態)
★ Aの下にはBが落ちています
J: Well, there's countable and uncountable. It’d be the pattern is "there is B under A," for uncountable. And for countable, "There are B under A."
K: OK.
J: So in this particular instance, it would be "There are potato chips and popcorn under the coffee table."
K: I got it.
J: We don't have to say that they've fallen or spilled because they are already there.
―――――
C: Ben is told to dust the furniture and save the vacuuming for last. There are potato chips and popcorn under the coffee table.
J: Ben is told to dust the furniture and save the vacuuming for last. There are potato chips and popcorn under the coffee table.
J: I think they are.
C: You did definitely a great job.
K: All right.

K: So, Carolyn...
C: Uh-huh.
K: What's another situation gonna (going to) be like?
C: Well, now, they are a big sister and a little brother.
―――――
S: Dust the lamps and the coffee table.
B: I don't see the point of this duster. It's just spreading dust all over. A-choo!
S: Bless you.
B: A-choo!
S: Bless you.
B: A-choo!
S: Bless you.
B: Oh, thank you.
S: Take it outside and shake out the dust. And save the vacuuming for last.
B: Why do I need to vacuum? The carpet isn't dirty.
S: Well, someone spilled popcorn under the coffee table.
B: Yeah, that was me. Those potato chips are you.
S: Well, those pretzels are YOU.
B: Oh, that chocolate is YOU.
S: Uh-uh.
B: Uh-huh.
S: Uh-uh.
B: Uh-huh.
S: Uh-uh.

K: Jeff, are you ready five times in one breath?
J: Uh... Do I have time to practice?

★ サリーが代わり
J: It's not in the dialog. But we have a great phrase in English. We say "take over" or "takes over."
K: Uh-huh.
J: So in this instance it would be "Sally takes over."
(in this instance = この場合には)
★ ベンは拭くことになります
C: Wow! It's a lot of words.
K: Could you suggest something that helps us?
C: Yeah, of course. In this situation, I think we can simply use the word "dry" here. Um... so it will be "Ben dries."
―――――
J: Ben can't find the dish soap so he can't start doing the dishes. Sally takes over and Ben dries.
C: Ben can't find the dish soap so he can't start washing the dishes. Sally takes over and Ben dries.
C: I bet you did it.
J: Yeah. I'm sure they did.
K: All right.
===================
In Another Situation!
===================
K: So, Jeff. What's another situation going to be like this time?
J: Well, this time, Ben is a robot.
―――――
B: What should I do with the dirty dishes?
S: Fill the sink with hot soapy water and let them soak awhile and start washing.
B: Okey-dokey.
S: You're not done yet?
B: I broke a couple of plates.
S: Oh, I see. Okay. I'll wash the dishes and you can dry them.
B: Good. I can use my air jet. Ah. Where do these plates go?
S: Stack them in the cabinet above the coffee maker.
B: Can you cover my hands with cloth so that I won't break more plates.
S: No problemo.
B: Muchas gracias, Señora.
S: Señorita.
B: Oops.
―――――
K: Would you like to have a robot like this, Carolyn, at your home?
C: I wouldn't complain actually if I had a robot like that.
K: Uh-huh.
C: I don't know. Wouldn't you want one like that?
K: Well, he speaks more languages than I do. So I don't know.

K: So, what did you say that for?
J: I think I would open the door to good health.

K: Oh, okay.
J: Because if you have that, you have the other two, success and hope.
