J: Right. Does the man have any particular features?
All: What do you think, everybody?
K: Carolyn, what do you think?

◆ ある女性を事故から救った男性
J: Yes. So, in English, the word order is a little bit different as you said, we'll start with "a man."
K: Uh-huh.
J: And it would be "a man who saved a woman from an accident."
◆ ……について聞き出そうとしています
C: Oh, I like that, "find."
K: Oh, good.
C: That sounds good. Well, we know this wasn't in the dialog. So, um... if we want use "find" here, I'd recommend using the phrase "try to find out."
So, in this case, it would be "is trying to find out about 何々."
◆ その男性には特に何の特徴もありませんでした
J：Right. That was in the dialog.
J: Right, the man that we've been talking about.
K: Right.
J: Um... we're going to use the verb "have" or past tense "had." So, it would be "the man had no particular features."
C: Oh, yeah.
J: Of course, they did.
K: Oh, yay!
J: Way to go.
