検死レポート（ノイズ＝直すべき癖）
第113夜。録音に講師の名前は無い。第108夜・第111夜と同じ講師(内容から — 本人が「前回、一昨日、画面共有が動かなかった」と振り、第111夜に泊まりに来ていた講師の母親が昨日入院した話が続いた)。南アフリカ在住。本人は車の中からモバイル回線、教材ゼロで最後まで雑談。講師の第一声は I've been better — 母親が心拍数の異常で入院し、病院の帰りに穴で車を壊した、One of those days。本人は慰めを3本撃ち(feel sorry for / my heart goes ▲ to / I'm really feel for)、3本とも金具を1つずつ落とした。自分の母親の骨折を出し、「全部 fleeting」「小さなドラマを into perspective」まで運んだ。講師は Fleeting is a good word。話題6つ(講師の母 / 老い / 車検 / スピード違反 / road rage / Bugatti と hot hatch)。how do I put it が3回(前夜の直しが1夜で回収)、-wise 5回、講師に語を2回聞いた(pre-existing / hot hatch)。語の取り違え4枚(assure / considered / rugged / careless)、there の門番3回欠勤、三単現3枚、she → he。最後の1文「your mom is very... I... I...」は回線ごと切れた。
ネイティブらしくない癖
相手の不幸を聞いた直後、慰めの定型が半分ずつ出る(狙いは正しく、金具が1つ落ちる) → 不幸を聞いたら、最初の1文は7語で固定。2本目からは落ち着いて goes out to / feel for
「〜がある / 無い / 少ない」を it's から言い始める → 「ある/無い/少ない」と言いたくなったら、口を開く前に there を1枚置く
語頭が同じ語を隣の棚から取る(assure / considered / rugged / careless) → 語が出た瞬間に「反対の意味じゃないか」を1回疑う。rugged は頑丈、careless は不注意
how to say と言いかけて how do I put it に乗り換えた(前夜の直しが1夜で入った)。これは維持する → 入った。3回出た。次は how can I put it と how should I say の2本目も
講師に語を聞く(pre-existing / hot hatch)。これは維持する → 1レッスン1回は講師を止めて語を聞く。聞いた語が翌夜に出るかを台帳で見る
別れ際に講師の家族を気遣う1文が、形になる前に切れた → 次回の第一声は How's your mom doing? で固定
乖離（短いSVOで言い切る練習）
講師の母親の入院を聞いて、慰めを3本: I'm so sorry to hear that. / My heart goes out to her. / I really feel for you.
自分の母親の骨折を出して、「全部つかの間」まで: It puts things into perspective. / In the grand scheme of things, it's all fleeting. / Zoom out far enough and it all passes.
点検していない古い車から距離を取りたい: An old, beat-up car. / I'd keep my distance from it. / You never know what's going to fall off it.
講師に、車に興味があるか聞こうとして: First of all, let me ask — are you a car guy? / Before I go on, do you like cars?
Bugatti を率いる人の話を予告して: The guy who runs Bugatti is fascinating. / He came from a very humble background. / He's a total car nerd who doesn't care about politics.
25分の最後、講師の母親を気遣おうとして(回線が切れた): I hope your mom gets better soon. / How's your mom doing?(次回の第一声) / Give her my best.
先生Hello, are you, uh... So, could you, um, yeah.
解説
★開幕。回線の確認から入り、言葉が途切れている。講師の側も今日は言葉が短い。
生徒Yeah. So last, last time, um, day before yesterday, maybe. So I, I was in the office, but, uh, unfortunately I didn't notice that, uh, I used like a mobile data instead of, uh, wi-fi. And that's damaging, you know, it's, it consumed so much data. So that's why maybe screen share didn't work. So after that I noticed, and oh my god, you know, really, didn't, yeah. But today, yeah, it's in the car, just uh, you know, mobile data. So, uh, yeah, how's, how's going? How are you?
ネイティブなら
Turns out I was on mobile data last time, not Wi-Fi — that's why the screen share died. Today I'm in the car, so same deal. Anyway, how are you?
NEWTurns out ~
金具だけLast time — the day before yesterday — I was in the office, but I didn't notice I was on mobile data instead of Wi-Fi. It ate a lot of data, and that's probably why the screen share didn't work. Today I'm in the car, so it's mobile data again. Anyway, how's it going?
解説
☓like a mobile data は a と不可算が同席。mobile data。☓that's damaging は「それは害を与えている」。データを食った、なら it ate / used up a lot of data。☓it's in the car は主語が it。本人が車にいるので I'm in the car。☓how's going は it が落ちた。How's it going?#26
★前回の事故の原因を、自分から報告した。モバイル回線だった。☓その報告の中で it が2枚、主語と目的語の席から落ちた。how's ▲ going / ▲ in the car。★Turns out = 結局〜だった。あとで分かった原因を言うときの2語。
先生Uh, I've been better, but... it was a bit of a disastrous day yesterday.
解説
★★I've been better = 良くはない(もっと良いときもあった)。How are you? に「悪い」を柔らかく言う定型。★a bit of a disastrous day = ちょっとひどい日。a bit of a + 名詞で、深刻さを1段下げる。
盗む
I've been better.
How are you? に Fine 以外を返す1本。「良くない」を直接言わずに伝えられる。★本人は第111夜に I'm spent と言った。同じ場面の、もう1段柔らかい形。
生徒What... what happened?
ネイティブなら
Oh no, what happened?
NEWOh no
解説
★正しい。相手が「悪い日だった」と言ったら、What happened? で受ける。★Oh no を頭に置くと、聞く前に気持ちが先に届く。
先生Uh, my mom had to get hospitalized. Uh, she has some elevated heart rate. It doesn't, uh, so they're still trying to figure out what it is. So she's in the hospital at the moment. And then, uh, on the way back from the hospital I hit a pothole, and now I have to go fix my, get new tires and fix my rim.
解説
★had to get hospitalized = 入院することになった。★elevated heart rate = 心拍数の上昇。★hit a pothole = 道路の穴に落ちた。★fix my rim = ホイールを直す。第111夜に泊まりに来ていた母親が、帰ってから入院した。
盗む
They're still trying to figure out what it is.
原因が分からない状態を言う1本。figure out = 突き止める。★病院、機械の故障、仕事のトラブル、どれにも使える。
豆知識
pothole = 舗装の穴。南アフリカでは道路の穴が社会問題で、穴を通報するアプリや、市民が自分で埋める運動まである。タイヤとホイール(rim)を同時に壊すのは、深い穴に速度を落とさずに入ったとき。
生徒Heart... pothole... car, I'm just...
ネイティブなら
Your mom, and then the car — that's a lot for one day.
NEWthat's a lot for one day
解説
★聞いたことを3語で並べて、言葉に詰まった。詰まること自体は正しい反応で、講師はそれを I'm just an empty shell と受けた。★That's a lot for one day = 1日にしては多すぎる。不幸が重なった相手への1文。
先生I'm just an empty shell... One of those days.
解説
★I'm just an empty shell = 抜け殻だ。★★One of those days = そういう日(何もかもうまくいかない日)。説明せずに「そういう日」で片づける定型。
盗む
It's just one of those days.
悪いことが重なった日を、1文で片づける形。理由を並べなくていい。★本人が第105夜(事務所を追い出され、雨の中)に言えたら、それで済んだ1本。
生徒Yeah, I, I feel, I feel so sorry for you. Uh, sincerely. Yeah.
ネイティブなら
That's rough. I'm really sorry.
NEWThat's rough.
金具だけI'm so sorry to hear that. Really.
解説
☓I feel so sorry for you は「気の毒に思う」で、通じるが少し上から。相手の不幸を聞いた直後は I'm so sorry to hear that。
★慰めの1本目。中身は届いている。☓feel sorry for you は、相手を「かわいそうな人」に置く形なので、友人にはやや重い。I'm sorry to hear that が、聞いた側の反応として軽い。★sincerely は手紙の結びの語で、口で言うと硬い。Really. で足りる。
先生No, no, I appreciate it, man.
解説
★★★I appreciate it — 前夜の宿題の形を、講師が本人に向けて言った。能動、be なし、目的語 it。慰めを受け取るときの返事の見本である。
盗む
I appreciate it, man.
慰め・親切を受け取る3語 + man。前夜、本人は I'm so much appreciated と裏返した。★24時間後、同じ形の正解を講師から聞いた。
生徒Yeah, I'm really, um... my heart goes to your, uh, ma, mother, and, uh, in the hospital right now?
ネイティブなら
My heart goes out to your mother. Is she in the hospital right now?
NEWMy heart goes out to ~
解説
☓my heart goes to は out が落ちた。定型は my heart goes out to ~(心から同情する)。#12。☓in the hospital right now? は主語と動詞が無い。Is she ~?
☓慰めの2本目が、部品を1つ落とした。my heart goes to your mother は「私の心臓があなたの母のところへ行く」。out が入って初めて「同情が向かう」になる。★狙った定型は正しい。落ちたのは1語。この夜、慰めの定型は3本とも、部品を1つずつ落として届いた。
先生She's in the hospital right now, and...
解説
★確認。
生徒Not critical or...
ネイティブなら
But it's not critical, is it?
NEW~, is it?
解説
★critical = 重篤な。語は正しく、上げ調子の確認で通っている。★付加疑問(is it?)を付けると、「そうでないことを願っている」が形に出る。
先生No, she's not critical, they're just trying to figure... she's just got like elevated heart rate, so they think it might be... they were worried it was a blood clot, but it doesn't seem to be a blood clot. Uh, but they, um... what was I going to say? Uh, they're trying to check if it's a thyroid thing. So they just took some bloods and this, that, and the other. So they're, yeah, they're just basically trying to figure it out.
解説
★blood clot = 血栓。★thyroid = 甲状腺。★took some bloods = 採血した(英国・南アフリカでは bloods と複数)。★this, that, and the other = あれこれ。★what was I going to say? = 何を言おうとしたんだっけ。講師も言葉を探している夜。
盗む
They took some bloods and this, that, and the other.
「あれこれ検査した」を言う形。this, that, and the other = あれこれ、いろいろ。★列挙を途中でやめるときの締め。
豆知識
心拍数の上昇で最初に疑われるのは、血栓(肺塞栓)と甲状腺機能亢進症。どちらも血液検査で当たりが付く。thyroid の発音は「サイロイド」で、th は無声。
生徒But uh, she's conscious, and... she, she's conscious, and...
ネイティブなら
But she's awake and talking?
NEWawake and talking
解説
★conscious = 意識がある。語は正しい。★口語は awake and talking(起きていて話せる)。conscious は救急の言葉で、少し硬い。
先生Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, she's conscious, she's fine. No, like she's... yeah, no she's just feeling a bit under the weather, but yeah, they're just trying to figure out why her heart rate is elevated.
解説
★feeling a bit under the weather = 少し体調が悪い。病名を言わずに不調を言う定型。
盗む
She's just feeling a bit under the weather.
軽い不調を言う定型。自分にも家族にも使える。★I'm a bit under the weather today = 今日はちょっと調子が悪い。
生徒Yeah, what, yeah, I'm also, mm... because, does he have a, does she have, have a like a, what, what, what, how can I, how can I put it, like a conditions, like...
ネイティブなら
Does she have any history of heart trouble?
NEWhistory of ~
金具だけDoes she have any — how can I put it — pre-existing conditions?
解説
☓does he → does she と自分で直した。正しい。☓a conditions は a と複数形が同席。any conditions。#14
★★how can I put it が出た。前夜の直し(how to say → how do I put it)が、24時間後に本人の口から出た。今夜3回。☓he → she。代名詞の隊員が、講師の母親を he で呼びかけて、自分で she に戻した。★history of heart trouble = 心臓の既往。病歴を聞くときの形。
先生No, there's no kind of... oh, not that there, there's no pre-existing...
解説
★講師が pre-existing を先に出した。本人はこの語を探していた。
生徒Pre-existing, なんとかある, how do you say in English? Pre, pre-cons...
ネイティブなら
Pre-existing — that's the word I was looking for.
NEWthat's the word I was looking for
金具だけPre-existing... what's the word? Pre-existing conditions?
解説
★日本語が1語混ざった(なんとかある)。探している語を英語で聞くなら What's the word? / How do you say it in English?
★★講師に語を聞いた。この番組の実験「講師停止」の、本人からの正方向の試行である。★日本語が1語出た。「なんとかある」 — 語を探しているときの独り言が、そのまま口から出た。★that's the word I was looking for = それが探していた語だ。渡された語を受け取る1文。
先生Pre-existing, I think.
解説
★講師が語を確定した。pre-existing conditions = 既往症。
盗む
Does she have any pre-existing conditions?
既往症を聞く1本。保険・病院・健康の話で必ず出る語。★本人は語を持っていて(pre-cons... まで出た)、最後の -existing が出なかった。
生徒Pre-existing conditions, yeah. No high like... does some kind of like a high blood pressure runs in your family?
ネイティブなら
Any history of high blood pressure in the family?
NEWin the family
金具だけPre-existing conditions, right. Does high blood pressure run in your family?
解説
☓does … runs は s が2枚。does を置いたら動詞は原形 — does … run。#2。☓some kind of like a high blood pressure は限定詞の渋滞。high blood pressure は無冠詞。
★★runs in the family(家系に多い)が着地した。狙いは正しい。☓ただし does と runs で s が2枚。疑問文の does は三単現の s を引き受ける係なので、動詞は原形に戻る。この男の三単現は、前夜は3回皆勤し、今夜は does の後ろで s を返さなかった。
先生No, mmm, not, not none of that sort of thing. So hopefully it's yeah, nothing too serious, but they're still trying to figure it out exactly. So, uh, it's always difficult because you never... doctors seem to talk in circles half the time. So you never, they never want to promise too much and, uh, they never want to make you too scared. So, uh...
解説
★none of that sort of thing = そういうのは無い。★★talk in circles = 堂々巡りの話をする。★half the time = 半分くらいは。★never want to promise too much = 約束しすぎない。医者の話し方を3文で言い切った。
盗む
Doctors seem to talk in circles half the time.
「はっきり言わない」を言う定型。talk in circles = 同じところを回る。★役所、上司、営業にもそのまま使える。
生徒Ah, I see, yeah. Uh, yeah, talking in circles, and, uh... yeah, it's... I don't know, it's food, maybe food, not food related, because, um, maybe, uh, I guess your mom is in a, you know, healthy, having a healthy lifestyle. I don't know, like, she's a vegan or something?
ネイティブなら
Could it be diet-related? Though I'd guess she eats pretty well.
NEWdiet-related
金具だけTalking in circles, right. I don't know — maybe it's diet-related? I imagine your mom has a healthy lifestyle. Is she a vegan or something?
解説
☓it's food, maybe food, not food related は着地しなかった。diet-related(食事が原因)。☓your mom is in a healthy, having a healthy lifestyle は be と having が衝突。has a healthy lifestyle。
★講師の talk in circles を1秒で復唱した。★原因を食事に絞って聞いた。推理は正しいが、文が3回言い直しになった。★diet = 食生活(ダイエットではない)。diet-related / a healthy diet。
先生No, no, she's, she's pretty healthy. Yeah. And, yeah. No, it's just, uh, yeah... No, thank you, but I appreciate it. It's just one of those things, uh, humans don't like unknowns. So it's always a bit stressful when...
解説
★I appreciate it が2回目。★★It's just one of those things = そういうものだ(仕方ない)。★humans don't like unknowns = 人間は分からないことが嫌い。unknowns を名詞で使っている。
盗む
Humans don't like unknowns.
不安の正体を1文で言う形。unknown を名詞で複数にする。★英検の二次で「なぜ人は新技術を恐れるか」にそのまま使える — People don't like unknowns。
生徒Unknowns. That's kind of scary. Because it sounds scary, right, that... why, because you are a doctor, so you have to, you have a responsibility to explain, uh, clearly, to in a layman's term. And, uh, but doctors say "unknown." Wow. But... so maybe he or she is sincere enough to accept... I don't know.
ネイティブなら
Doctors are supposed to make it simple for us, and they're the ones saying 'we don't know'. I guess that's honesty, in a way.
NEWthe ones saying ~
金具だけUnknowns — that's scary. If you're a doctor, you have a responsibility to explain clearly, in layman's terms. But the doctors say 'unknown'. Maybe that's just them being honest about it.
解説
☓you are a doctor は「あなたは医者だ」。講師は医者ではない。一般論なら if you're a doctor。☓in a layman's term は terms(複数)で、a は付けない。in layman's terms。#12。☓sincere enough to accept は何を受け入れるのか不明。honest about it。
★layman's terms(素人向けの言葉)が出た。語は正しい。☓a と単数で、定型が1粒崩れた。terms は常に複数。☓you are a doctor。一般論の you を使うときは if を頭に置かないと、目の前の相手の職業になる。講師は昨日、病院に行っただけである。★in a way = ある意味では。
先生No, no, I think they're fairly honest. It's just she won't say until it... what, gets diagnosed, then yeah, you worry, you kind of, yeah, you fear the worst or you worry and, uh, yeah, it's just not the most comfortable of situations to be in.
解説
★fear the worst = 最悪を想像する。★not the most comfortable of situations to be in = 居心地のいい状況ではない。not the most ~ of ~ で、悪さを控えめに言う英国流の形。
盗む
You fear the worst.
診断待ち・結果待ちの気持ちを3語で。★I always fear the worst = いつも最悪を考えてしまう。
生徒Yeah, I, I'm really, uh, feel for you. Because, like, my mom also, um, not like a couple months ago, uh, got... she her arm broken, like left side, like uh, yeah, she got...
ネイティブなら
I know the feeling — my mom broke her arm a couple of months back.
NEWI know the feeling
金具だけI really feel for you. My mom broke her left arm a couple of months ago.
解説
☓I'm really feel は be と一般動詞が同席。I really feel for you。#10。☓a couple months は of。a couple of months。☓she her arm broken は主語と目的語が並んで動詞が無い。she broke her arm。
★feel for you(気持ちが分かる)が出た。慰めの3本目。☓その前に I'm が座った。be の受付は、feel を形容詞だと思って通した。この夜、慰めの定型3本(feel sorry for / goes out to / feel for)は、3本とも金具を1つ落として届いた。狙いは3本とも正しい。★I know the feeling = その気持ち、分かる。自分の経験を出す前の1文。
先生Oh, sure. Mmhmm. Did she fall, did she fall down or something?
解説
★Did she fall down or something? = 転んだとか?or something で、決めつけずに聞いている。
生徒Yes, yeah. And, uh, couldn't use her arm for months. And so we, our family fairly have to take care of her and, uh, comes, yeah. So I faced like a, you know, not similar but, uh, situation, and, uh, eventually, yeah, we, we, we have to take care of, you know, our families, and, uh, getting old is, it means...
ネイティブなら
She was out of action for months, and the whole family pitched in. So I've been there, more or less.
NEWI've been there
金具だけYes. She couldn't use her arm for months, so our family had to take care of her. So I've been through a similar situation — not the same, but similar. Eventually we all have to take care of our families. Getting old means...
解説
☓our family fairly have to は時制が現在。数か月前の話なので had to。fairly は席が無い。☓like a, not similar but, situation は「似ていないが状況」。a similar situation — not the same, but similar。
★自分の母親の骨折を出して、講師の話に並べた。慰めが「聞く」から「分かる」に変わった瞬間である。☓時制が現在に落ちた。過去の看病を have to で言うと、今も看病中になる。★I've been there = 同じ経験がある。3語で「分かる」が言える。★pitch in = 手伝いに加わる。
先生Things start... Things start to break down...
解説
★講師が文の続きを渡した。getting old means things start to break down。体が壊れ始める、を things で言っている。
盗む
Getting old means things start to break down.
老いを1文で言う形。things = 体のあちこち。★本人が言いかけた文を、講師が閉じた。次はこの形ごと持つ。
生徒Things started, yeah, to break down unfortunately. Yeah, yeah, break down. So, so it happens, unfortunately, for every, you know, person, in exist, existing in the world. This... like, you can't live forever. So, yeah, and, uh, so that's why, uh, we don't, uh, take everything for granted.
ネイティブなら
Nobody gets out of this alive. So you can't take any of it for granted.
NEWNobody gets out of this alive.
金具だけThings start to break down, unfortunately. It happens to everyone. You can't live forever. That's why we shouldn't take anything for granted.
解説
☓it happens for every person は to。happen to。#8。☓every person existing in the world は everyone で足りる。☓we don't take everything for granted は「全部を当然だとは思わない」で、主張なら shouldn't take anything。否定文の every は any。
★★take for granted(当然だと思う)が着地した。★you can't live forever も正しい。☓ただし文の骨が「we don't」で、主張が事実の報告になった。「当然と思うべきでない」は shouldn't。☓everything は否定文の中で anything に替わる。
先生Mm, exactly, exactly. So yeah.
解説
★同意。
生徒Yeah. So that it puts, uh, everyday like a tiny drama into perspective, you know, because in a grand scheme of things... what, how do, how I put it, uh, from the universal point of view, uh, it's all fleeting, either good or bad. So, uh...
ネイティブなら
It's a reality check. Zoom out far enough and everything's fleeting — the good and the bad.
NEWZoom out
金具だけIt puts everyday tiny dramas into perspective. In the grand scheme of things — how do I put it — from a universal point of view, it's all fleeting, good or bad.
解説
☓in a grand scheme of things は the。定型は in the grand scheme of things。#14。☓how I put it は do が落ちた。how do I put it。
★★★今夜いちばん高い文。put ~ into perspective(大局で見る)/ the grand scheme of things / fleeting(つかの間の)— 3本が1文に入った。講師は Fleeting is a good word と返した。☓落ちたのは the と do の2枚だけ。★how do I put it が2回目(前夜の直し)。★Zoom out = 引いて見る。同じ意味を2語で。
先生Fleeting, fleeting is a good word.
解説
★★講師が語を1つ褒めた。この番組の前兆「褒め言葉を受けた直後」の観測場面である。本人は次の行で「ありがとう」を言わず、そのまま話を続けた。事故は起きなかった。
生徒Yeah, it's fleeting, and, uh, I don't deny, uh, when you have a great time, have a ball, you enjoy it, you just, uh, enjoy the moment. And, uh, uh, yeah. And but at the same time, when you are facing difficulties, instead of, um, getting irritated and, uh, blaming other, others, you know, and, uh, depressed, so think about what, what do you think otherwise it, because it's inevitably bad things happens to everybody.
ネイティブなら
Enjoy the good stretches while they last. And when it goes wrong, don't take it personally — it goes wrong for everyone.
NEWwhile they last
金具だけIt's fleeting. I'm not saying don't enjoy it — when you're having a ball, enjoy the moment. But when you're facing difficulties, instead of getting irritated, blaming others, or getting depressed, think about it differently — because bad things inevitably happen to everybody.
解説
☓and depressed は getting depressed。getting irritated / blaming / getting depressed で並べる。☓what do you think otherwise it は着地しなかった。think about it differently。☓it's inevitably bad things happens は it's が余り、things に s が付いた。bad things inevitably happen。#2
★have a ball(大いに楽しむ)が出た。★enjoy the moment も正しい。☓三単現の2枚目 — bad things happens。前夜は皆勤した隊員が、今夜は things の後ろに s を置いた。things は複数なので、動詞に s は要らない。★while they last = 続いているうちに。fleeting の裏側。
生徒And, you know, for example, yeah, you got a, uh, your car, you know, kind of like broken, yeah, because I drive daily, so I also feel you, it's very, it sucks when you have to go to mechanics and, uh, you know, kind of thing, it's, it's very frustrating and it takes money and time. And, uh, yeah, unfort, fortunately in Japan, you know, roads are very, uh, paved well. So, the chances are there... yeah, we discussed before, you know, how, in your country, in South Africa, it's road condition is not well.
ネイティブなら
Car trouble is the worst — it eats your time and your money. At least here the roads don't fight back.
NEWthe roads don't fight back
金具だけFor example, your car got damaged. I drive every day, so I feel you — it sucks when you have to go to the mechanic. It's frustrating, and it costs money and time. Fortunately, in Japan the roads are well paved. We talked before about how the road conditions in South Africa aren't great.
解説
☓you got your car broken は「車を壊された」。your car got damaged。☓roads are very paved well は語順。well paved / well-paved。☓it's road condition is not well は it's が余り、well は good。the road conditions aren't good。#5
★I feel you(分かる)/ it sucks / it takes money and time — 3本正しい。★we discussed before と、前回の話を持ち出した。この講師とは道路の話を第108夜にしている。☓well と good。「良くない」は not good。well は「上手に」で、状態には貼れない。☓paved well は語順が日本語(舗装が、よく)。
先生Not so good. Potholes are a perennial, uh... hazard that we have to negoti- negotiate, navigate rather.
解説
★★perennial = 永遠に続く、毎年の。★hazard = 危険。★navigate = 切り抜ける。講師は negotiate から navigate に言い直した(どちらも「うまく通り抜ける」の意味で使える)。
盗む
Potholes are a perennial hazard we have to navigate.
「いつまでも無くならない問題」を言う形。a perennial hazard / a perennial problem。★仕事なら Delays are a perennial problem on this site。
生徒Yeah, navigate, yeah. So, I'm maybe, uh, lucky, yeah, in the road condition-wise.

Because in, over here, it's, uh, mandatory, so even, uh, so it, it kind of, I like this kind of style because you don't have to, uh, put extra, like caution, cautious care into like a, your car because the Japan, Japanese car tend to be very, uh, safe, and, uh, you know, Toyota or Nissan is, uh, trustworthy, first of all, and if you're like, you know, female, you don't know anything about... I don't, I also don't know about anything about car mechanics or things, um, but, um, you can rely on the inspection, you know, uh, every two years, so, so that, that guarantees that you don't have to do anything but just taking your car to the mechanics in every two years.

生徒Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a bit scary, yeah. Yeah, because, yeah, that... Yeah.

ネイティブなら
You can be the safest driver on the road and still get taken out by the guy next to you. That's what scares me.
NEWget taken out by ~
金具だけI think it should be a universal rule. You can be responsible yourself, but the guy driving next to you might not take care of his car at all, and that's scary. If I were driving in your country and the guy next to me was doing 80 in an old, beat-up car that hadn't been checked in 10 years, I'd want to keep my distance from it.

ネイティブなら
In that sense, I'm glad I live here. The system does the worrying.

生徒And, uh, yeah. I think that's a reason, one of the reasons, uh, why we have, maybe, uh, considered to other, you know, America, for example, every year, like, uh, people, you know, killed, and like number-wise, uh, three... thirty thousand? Maybe 30,000 like road ki- like people killed by car, like annually, 30,000. But in Japan, maybe, uh, much less, the number.

豆知識
日本の交通事故死者は年間およそ2,600人(2024年)、米国は約4万人。人口あたりでは日本は米国の4分の1程度で、世界でも低い。300 は講師の記憶違いで、桁が1つ小さい。本人の「米国3万人」も、実際はそれより多い。
生徒Yes. And yeah, I, mhm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And, uh, yeah, because, um, so, I live in Saitama, Saitama prefecture. And, so maybe last year, or, uh, hundred, maybe less than 100 people killed.

解説
★講師が dollar-wise を2回返した。本人の -wise を、講師が受け取って使っている。★middle of the range = 中間グレード。★a hundred thousand plus = 10万ドル以上。
豆知識
南アフリカの住宅の中央値は、都市部でも日本円で2,000〜3,000万円程度。10万ドル(約1,500万円)で「かなりいい家」が買える、という講師の感覚はそのあたり。ポルシェの新車は輸入税で日本より高い。

So that's, uh, I, uh, it's very fascinating that, uh, I watched his video and, uh, Bugatti, you know, I don't care, you know, I don't know the difference between Bugatti or Lamborghini, kind of thing. But, uh, yeah, still, so, still interesting to see someone who's so fascinating and, uh, enthralled by car and, uh, he's very eloquent. So, that's, I can learn a lot of English from his, from his video.
ネイティブなら
The guy running Bugatti is the interesting part — 39, self-made, zero interest in politics, all cars. He talks so well I use his clips as English practice.
NEWself-made
金具だけBugatti is one of the most expensive brands, like Rolls-Royce. Time's almost up, so next time I'll tell you about the guy who runs Bugatti. He's very interesting — he's only 39, he came from a very humble background, and he's a total car nerd who doesn't care about politics. I don't know the difference between a Bugatti and a Lamborghini, but it's fascinating to watch someone so enthralled by cars. And he's very eloquent, so I can learn a lot of English from his videos.
解説
☓she's very interesting, because he started は she と he が入れ替わった。話題の人物は男性。☓started like very humble background は came from。☓very car nerd は a total car nerd。☓careless about politics は「政治に不注意」。doesn't care about。#13。☓between Bugatti or は and。☓someone who's so fascinating は fascinated。#16、-ed/-ing。
★humble background / car nerd / enthralled / eloquent — 語彙は4本とも正しい。☓その4本を運ぶ金具が6枚落ちた。☓careless。「政治に無関心」が「政治に不注意」になった。careless = 注意を怠る。今夜4枚目の語の取り違えで、assure / considered / rugged / careless — 4枚とも意味が隣か反対に着地している。☓she → he。話し始めの1語が she で、直後に he に戻った。★self-made = 叩き上げの。humble background を1語で。
生徒Oh, my god, thank you so much, I don't want to, actually don't want to talk about test...
ネイティブなら
Thanks for indulging me — I wasn't in the mood for exam talk anyway.
NEWThanks for indulging me
金具だけThank you so much. Honestly, I didn't want to talk about the test anyway.
解説
☓talk about test は the test。#14

先生No, of course, of course. Lovely to see you. Catch you later!

See you の口語。★仕事の現場でも、同僚に Catch you later で足りる。
生徒Thank you so much. And, uh, yeah, my mom, your mom is very... I... I...
ネイティブなら
Thanks so much. And I hope your mom's doing better soon — let me know.
NEWI hope ~'s doing better
金具だけThank you so much. And I hope your mom gets better soon.
解説
★最後の1文が切れた。言いたかったのは I hope your mom gets better soon / I hope your mom's okay。
★★★今夜の最後の1文は、講師の母親を気遣う文で、途中で切れた。my mom から your mom に言い直したところで回線が終わった。★中身は届いている(講師の母親を最後まで気にしていた)。形が無い。次回の第一声は、この文の続きである — How's your mom doing?
