◆ 一頭のコヨーテ
J: I don't think we would say "one coyote."
K: Okay.
J: Uh... We're just going to use "a coyote."

K: カヨォリですね？
J: Yeah, coyote (カヨォリ). Uh... I learned this word by watching cartoons in the morning.
K: Oh.
J: Um... Wile E Coyote & The Road Runner.

K: I grew up with that too. My goodness.
J: Oh!

◆ ダンとエミは、……（という)ことを知ります。
C: Right. So, that's if we translated directly from the Japanese, right? ... becomes "know."
K: Right.
C: I think, in this situation, it doesn't really work that well, and I would recommend using "find out" here.

C: So, it'll be "Dan and Emi find out 何々."

B: Are you howling at me? Huh? Go away! Or else... Bye, bye coyote.
E: What's going on?
D: There was a coyote. It had Buttons cornered by the shed.
E: A coyote?
D: Yes, Buster scared it off! Buttons is under the shed hiding!
E: Ah! Look! Buttons had a litter of kittens!
