◆ サイクリングツアーで
K: on the cycling tour でよろしいですか？
J: Well, we kind of want to emphasize who was doing the cycling.
K: Uh-huh.
J: So, we're going to use "on her cycling tour."
K: I see.
J: And the word order... There's actually a couple of ways you can do it, but I would suggest "Sarah made friends with some Germans on her cycling tour.
K: There you go.
K: If you turn it around a little bit, that sentence and if you go "on Sarah's cycling tour, she made friends with some Germans." How about that? It ... Does that hold water? Is it OK to say it that way?
(hold water 筋道が立つ)
C: Well, I don't want to say "No."
K: OK.
C: But I would recommend keeping Sarah's name in the main part of the sentence.
K: Oh.
C: So, in this case, we would keep it the exact same way as Jeff said.
K: Uh-huh.
C: But just switch the order. So, it would be "on her cycling tour, Sarah made friends with some Germans."
◆ オランダ人も
K: 「も」というのはどうしましょう、Jeff さん？
J: Well, we're just going to add the word "too" to this. Uh... so it would be "the Dutch were friendly and really nice too."
K: さぁ、うまくいきましたか？
J: I'm sure they did.
C: Of course. Good job!
K: All right.

J: I love hot springs. I go hot spring traveling all over Japan.
K: Oh, wow.

C: It's interesting. What about you, Ken? What are your favorite places?
K: Well, you know, my best friend is Mike.
C: Yeah?
K: I mean the microphone.
J: So, your favorite places is the studio?
K: Exactly.
J: Feeling right at home.
K: Yeah. I wish I had a microphone at home. How about you, Carolyn?
C: I don't know. Is it OK to say my bed on a cold morning?
J: Ah!
K: Why not? Why not! Yeah. Very candid answer, very nice.
(candid 率直な)
J: Hot chocolate in the hand? Whatever...
