振り返りレポート
脳内の意図 ↔ 口から出た英語の乖離。短SVOで連射しろ。
バグ図鑑（横断ウォッチ）→
俯瞰: 内装屋つながりの当たり回。相手Gumも父も元builder、ブルガリアで家一軒フルリフォーム→60匹の猫のためにcatio自作して肋骨骨折、元カートレーサー、ブルガリア→スコットランド5000マイル自走。とにおの攻めの語彙は上級揃い(jack of all trades / wearing many hats / to each their own / blood, sweat and tears / laid back / go-to teachers / one-off / not master of none)。崩れるのは決まって『守りの説明文』=(1)自分の職種=管理側の説明 (2)DMMで関係を築きたい理屈 (3)英語遍歴の3か所。主犯は冠詞aとtoの脱落、そして同語反復(#18ランブル)。ハイライトは相手が肋骨折った話に真顔で『But it was worth it, right?』と詰めたところ。優しさなのか工数計算なのか。
致命的乖離 — 思考をダウングレードして短SVO連射
自分の職種(手を動かす職人ではなく管理側)を説明する場面
崩壊“I'm kinda like a managing ... I hired, I was like a manager of watching them doing the work ... I'm not a tradesman”
意図自分は管理側。職人を手配して、作業を見ている立場。自分自身は職人ではない。
タップで登録
DMMで一発勝負でなく先生と関係を築きたい理屈を語る場面
崩壊“I want build relationship with teachers ... so that we know the our personality ... straight go straight into the topics”
意図一回きりのレッスンは嫌だ。関係を築いてお互いを知りたい。そうすれば毎回の自己紹介を飛ばして本題に入れる。
タップで登録
英語遍歴(20代は本気→引退→今は娯楽)を語る場面
崩壊“before I was very serious ... put everything kind of my sweat, effort into it ... but I quit ... now I'm just enjoying ... I don't have agenda”
意図20代は本気だった、まさに血と汗と涙。数年やめた。今は戻ってきたが娯楽としてで、何の目的もない。

繰り返し文法バグ（記録と照合・再発を追跡）
to 不定詞の to 脱落 + 冠詞 a 脱落。want の後ろは to do、可算名詞には a再発 #14
I want build relationship with teachers→I want to build a relationship with teachers
冠詞 a/an の脱落。可算単数 agenda には an再発 #14
I don't have agenda→I don't have an agenda
動詞の取り違え + 冠詞脱落。put ではなく take/go on、a hiatus再発 #14
I put hiatus for three years→I took a hiatus for three years
限定詞の二重付け the+our。所有格だけで足りる。相互は each other's再発 #14
so that we know the our personality→so that we know each other's personalities
動詞 guess は「得る」じゃない。information は不可算で something+情報の型が崩れる再発 #6
Every time I talk with him I guess something interesting information→Every time I talk with him I pick up something new
主語 I の脱落 + 冠詞 the 脱落。過剰説明で industry まで足す必要なし再発 #10
Work in construction industry→I work in construction
ネイティブらしくない癖（would 回避・over-hedge 等）
癖同語反復で言い直す(straight go straight / very very serious / driving is one of my job... I drive for work)。#18ランブルの初期段階、動詞を選び直しながら喋ってる
native動詞を1つに決めて一発で言い切る。言い直し=リセットなので相手は前半を捨てる。
声帯ドリルI want to build a relationship, not just a one-off lesson.
癖アイデンティティを問われると I don't know / kind of / you know を連射して逃げる(over-hedge)。特にアクセントの好み・引退した理由で顕著
native立場を1文で言い切ってからヘッジ。逃げの前に結論を置く。
声帯ドリルI lean toward British -- it just sounds proper to me.
癖guy を性別・属性問わず万能名詞で使う(easygoing guy / she? he?)。人物描写が全部 guy で潰れる
native属性で言い換える: an easygoing person / a laid-back guy(男性確定時のみ)。
声帯ドリルHe's a laid-back, easygoing person.
