O: Hey, guys, if someone suddenly said to you "I love you," would you be surprised?
D: Uh… If they meant it as like "I love you as a fan," not really. But, if they looked me deep in the eyes and said "I love you," yeah. It would be a bit of a shock.
R: Usually saying "I love you" in that kind of situation, implies an already established relationship.
All: I love you!

R: Hey, everyone, this is Akino Roza.
D: And I'm David Evans. I had no idea you were into such interesting topics.
============================
◆ Typical Expressions / Practice
============================
(9:53)
D: OK, everyone, let's get into today's practice. These phrases can be very dismissive and put a wall between you and a listener. So, be careful what situation you use them in. But it's good to have them in your pocket.
(dismissive = 否定的)
R: Great point, David.
D: All right, let's jump right in.
- Who cares about that?
- Who cares about a little scratch?
- Who cares about getting first place?
R: Let's continue.

- That doesn't matter.
D: Oo, so dismissive. All right, here's a few more.
- That's none of my business.
- That's irrelevant to me.
- I don't want to get involved.
R: And our last few,
- I have zero interest in ～.
- No one cares.
This next one is a phrase that you'll probably hear quite a bit. So, let's practice it twice.
- I couldn't care less about ～.
- I couldn't care less about ～.
(11:26)
R: Great job, everyone. I know you really care about your English practice.

O: Hey, guys, what makes you happy?
D: You know, when you wear a coat for the first time in a season, and you find the money in the pocket. That makes me so happy. How about you, Roza?
R: You know, I was gonna (going to) say being around you two makes me happy, but honestly, I don't think I can top the money in the coat.
あのね、あなたたち2人と一緒にいると幸せな気分になれるって言おうと思ってたの。でも、正直なところ、コートの中のお金を超えることはできないと思う。
(top 超える、まさる)
(I can't top that. 無理だ、勝てない)
