K: OK, back to the question.
C: Alrighty. "Which hat is the customer going to buy?"
All: What do you think, everybody?

K: Jeff, what do you think?
J: Um... I think he hasn't decided at this point.

J: Right. He hasn't decided. This is kind of a trick question a little bit.

J: Well done.

◆ ……したいと言います
K: He says he wants to これでは何か変ですよね？
C: I guess it's a little wordy, isn't it?
K: Yeah.
C: Um... In English, we can just use "wants." Uh, in this case, it'll be "wants to do something." And here, I think we know what's gonna (going to) follow, because we know the customer wants to do something.
K: Uh-huh.

◆ 彼のためにそれを下ろします
J: We are going to use the word "brings."
K: Okay.
J: So, "brings it down for him." Now, you might hear some people say "takes it down" or "take it down," but using "brings" is a little kinder, gentler.

K: Take というとそのまま取って、、、
J: He just takes down and throws it on the floor, something like that.
K: Bring にするとこっちへ持ってくるという感じ
J: Yes, it's much kinder, softer.
K: You have the customer in mind.
J: Right. So, the customer is important, the hat is important. So, you just going to bring it down with you.

◆ 別のもの
C: Well, in English, I'd recommend wiring "another one."

◆ ……するよう彼女に頼みます
K: ask でよろしいですか？
J: Right. "Asks her to 何々."

C: Oh, yeah.
J: I know they did. You know that. Way to go! Well done.

C: Can I try that car in the first row?
S: Suer. You want the RV?

(RV = Recreational Vehicle 休暇・楽しみのための車)

C: No, the small car.
S: The dark blue one?
C: No. It's the light blue one with the number 18.
S: You'll love that car. It's convertible. And you can enjoy the ultimate driving experience.

(convertible = a car with a folding or detachable roof / able to be changed in form, function, or character. "a convertible sofa")
