検死レポート（ノイズ＝直すべき癖）
第122夜。本題 — 本人が手本として読んでいた原稿の英語が、はじめてネイティブに採点された夜。英検(10/4)まで8日。土曜、2夜続けて車の中から、音声のみ。前夜と同じ正月の原稿(core5 の指10本を日本の正月に埋めたもの)を、講師に番号で選ばせて読んだ(3 BODY / 8 TRUST / 9 ROOTS)。講師は BODY の中指の枝 Longevity is the ninety-year-old next door, and it outlives the plan every pension was built on を a bit weird / it's not how I would say it と言い、TRUST の段の undermines public trust in mothers を children's trust in mothers と直した。本人は I'm not on that level to feel the weirdness と答え、その10分後に Transparency is the open book を読みかけて this is maybe a little bit weird と自分で言った。講師は The idea is nice, though と中身を認め、She just carries on と言い直した。講師は日本の外から文化を持ち込んだ — お年玉はベトナムのテトの lucky money、英国のクリスマスはギフト券、除夜の鐘の苦情は教会の隣に越してきて鐘に文句を言うようなもの。本人は原稿の中の母親を訂正した(うちの母は誠実で、お年玉は消えなかった)。録音に講師の名前は無い(英国出身、ベトナム在住、since we last spoke と言っている)。前夜の直しが1夜で4つ回収された(google it / nieces and nephews / scattered throughout the text / I'm not familiar with this)。文法 — 前夜の宿題①(原稿の the は the で読む)は FAILED(5本を a、4本を the)。②(like のあとは中身まで a を出さない)は FAILED(like a much tense information)。③(冗談は冗談を主語にして聞く)は EXECUTED(it's really funny, isn't it?)。
ネイティブらしくない癖
前夜に渡された直しを、同じ話を別の講師にする場面で使う(4件、全部1夜)。これは維持する → 同じ教材を2回使う夜は、前夜の直しを先に1回読んでから入る
原稿の中の自分の家族を訂正する(3夜で3人)。これは維持する → 違う所で止まって、Not in my case の1文で訂正する
手本の英文の良し悪しを、まだ自分の耳で判定できない(本人の申告) → 丸暗記する前に、1本ずつ講師に It sounds natural? と聞く
原稿の定義文の is the を is a で読む(2夜で9本中5本+4本) → is the をひと息で1語として読む
same の前に a を置く(3夜で3回) → the same を1語として持つ
every の後ろで名詞に s を足し、動詞から取る → every と言ったら名詞は1つ、動詞に s
乖離（短いSVOで言い切る練習）

英検は趣味だが、落ちたくはない: It's not the end of the world. / It's more of a hobby. / It's not for a promotion or anything.
理由は話さないと線を引く: There's a reason, / but I can't go into the details today.
教材の作り方を説明する: I came up with the system; / the AI did the writing.
講師に番号を選ばせる: Could you pick a number from one to ten? / We'll start from there.
原稿の英文が変だと言われて: I'm not at the level where I can tell / what sounds weird.
前日に別の講師と同じ教材をやった: Yesterday I did the same lesson with another teacher. / We covered one to three.
原稿の母親を訂正する: Not in my case, though. / My mom actually saved it.
講師の話からカードを作った: I've already made some cards from what you said. / You're really helping me internalize them.
講師のほうが日本に詳しいかも: You probably know more about Japan than I do, / with all the Japanese students you've had.
AIの文章が良くなった: What surprises me is how much the writing has improved. / Maybe I'm championing AI here.

生徒Hello
解説
★車の中からの第一声。2夜続けて車内。
先生Hi. Hello, how are you?
解説
★定型。
生徒I'm... I'm great. How's it going?
解説
★How's it going? は正しい。第115夜の how's ▲ going から、it が戻って定着している。
先生It's going fine.
解説
★質問の動詞をそのまま使って返す。How's it going? → It's going fine。
盗む
It's going fine.
How's it going? への返し。質問の形をそのまま使えば、考えずに答えられる。
先生Are you out drinking?
解説
★週末の夜に外から入った生徒への第一問。out drinking は「飲みに出ている」。
盗む
Are you out drinking?
be out + -ing で「〜しに出かけている」。out shopping / out running も同じ形。
生徒Not drinking but outside in my car. And... I'm on mobile data. So...
解説
★★I'm on mobile data は2夜続けて正しい。第113夜は a mobile data だった。Not drinking but ~ で質問の語を否定してから本題を置く、の順番も正しい。
先生Could you switch my video off, save some money, okay, one second, where is it?
解説
★★講師のほうから、自分のカメラを切ると申し出た。生徒のデータ通信の代金を気にしている。書き起こしは Could you だが、中身は Shall I switch my video off? の申し出。
先生Not on data...
解説
★書き起こしが崩れている行。意味は補わない。
生徒Yeah, but... it ends up, yeah, money, yes. It kind of equals money.
ネイティブなら
Yeah, data isn't free.
NEWisn't free
金具だけYeah — data costs money in the end.
解説
☓it ends up, money → it ends up costing money / data costs money in the end。end up のあとは -ing。
★It kind of equals money は通じる。データ = お金、を等号で言った。
先生Yes.
解説
★相槌。
生徒And... uh... yes. Um... So how is it going? How...
解説
★話を講師に渡した。
先生Fine, I just, uh, well, I didn't work this morning, just this afternoon six lessons, this evening five lessons. I just had a... Thursday... well Wednesday afternoon I went to Ho Chi Minh City. Thursday morning I went to the Cambodian border, walked across the border, waited for a while, had a couple of beers and then got my new visa sent and came back. And... back to Ho Chi Minh City. And then so I came back here yesterday evening. So I had a couple of days out in Ho Chi Minh City and... came back with another visa for three months. Um... so I took this morning off as well just to kind of do shopping and get the house sorted out. Uh... so everything's okay. Nothing spectacular to report, but a couple of days of eating nice food in Ho Chi Minh City, I suppose.
解説
★★近況を1ターンで全部言った — 今日の11コマ、ホーチミン、カンボジア国境を歩いて越えてビザを取り直した、3か月の新しいビザ、今朝は家の片付け。そして最後に Nothing spectacular to report と、自分で小さく締めた。★get the house sorted out は「家のことを片付ける」の英国式。
盗む
Nothing spectacular to report.
「特に報告するようなことはない」。近況を話したあと、自分で話を小さく締める1文。長く話しすぎた、の照れ隠しにもなる。
豆知識
ベトナムに長く住む外国人は、ビザの期限が来ると隣国との国境をいったん出て、入り直すことがある(visa run / border run)。ホーチミンからカンボジア国境(モクバイ)までは車で2時間ほど。講師は国境を歩いて越え、新しい3か月のビザで戻った。
生徒Wow. A lot of information. Information sliding, you know, I'm always surprised by how eloquent you are. It's incredible how to, how to convey like a much tense information within a seconds.
ネイティブなら
You just packed a week into thirty seconds.
NEWpacked a week into
金具だけWow, that's a lot of information. I'm always amazed by how eloquent you are — you pack so much information into a few seconds.
解説
☓how to convey → how you convey。how to は「〜のやり方」。驚いているのは講師がやったこと。☓like a much tense information → so much dense information。information は数えない(前夜の宿題②の場面。like の直後に a。FAILED)。tense(緊張した)ではなく dense(ぎっしり詰まった)。☓within a seconds → within seconds / in a few seconds。a と複数が同席した。
★★講師の話し方を褒めた1文。言いたいことは明確 — 短い時間にぎっしり情報を詰める。講師はすぐ short space of time と言い換えを渡した。☓ただし like の直後に a が出て、数えない information の前に立った(前夜の宿題②)。pack A into B は「AをBに詰め込む」。
先生Short space of time, yes.
解説
★within a seconds を、講師が in a short space of time に置き換えた。
盗む
in a short space of time
「短い時間で」の英国寄りの言い方。in a short time より少し改まる。do a lot in a short space of time で「短時間でたくさんこなす」。
生徒Yeah.
解説
★受け取った。
生徒Yeah, you can do a podcast.
解説
★褒め言葉を1段具体にした。「話がうまい」を「ポッドキャストができる」と、仕事の形で言った。
先生Maybe. Anyway, have you done anything fun since we last spoke?
解説
★Maybe. Anyway で褒め言葉を受け流して、話を生徒に戻した。since we last spoke は「この前話してから」。講師と本人は以前にも話している。
盗む
Have you done anything fun since we last spoke?
2回目以降の相手への定番の入り。since we last spoke / since last time。現在完了で「その間に」を聞く。
生徒Yeah, so, not much fun but I've got the Eiken exam coming up on October 4th, so only like six days left. And I haven't prepared enough, I'm a little bit worried and I have some doubts about whether I, you know, whether I, you know, I will pass or not. But it's not the end of the world, kind of serious stuff, it's my hobby.
ネイティブなら
It's not the end of the world. It's more of a hobby, really.
NEWmore of a hobby
金具だけNot much fun, but I've got the Eiken exam coming up on October 4th — only about a week left. I haven't prepared enough, so I'm a bit worried about whether I'll pass. But it's not the end of the world. It's just a hobby.
解説
☓only like six days left → about eight days left。土曜(9/26)から10/4 までは8日。☓kind of serious stuff, it's my hobby → It's just a hobby。「深刻な話ではない」と言いたいなら serious は否定で。
★★I've got the Eiken exam coming up / I haven't prepared enough / I have some doubts about whether / it's not the end of the world — 4つとも正しい。不安を言ってから、自分で小さくしている。
先生So you don't need it for anything, yeah, it's just your own...
解説
★趣味、を「何かに要るわけではない」と言い直して確かめた。
生徒Yes, just nothing, no promotional, you know...
ネイティブなら
Right, it's not for a promotion or anything.
解説
☓no promotional → not for a promotion。promotional は「宣伝用の」。昇進は promotion。
★promotional は「販促の」。昇進のためではない、と言いたかった。
先生Yeah, yeah, I know that. So there's no pressure. You can relax and enjoy the test.
解説
★講師は「だから気楽に」と言った。
盗む
You can relax and enjoy the test.
試験前の人への励まし。enjoy the test は英語でも少し冗談めかした言い方。
生徒Not really, yeah, there is a like a, you know, I can explain, I cannot explain the details today, but yeah, because, but still, I'd rather pass than fail. Of course. So, and yeah, I wanna prepare as much as possible.
ネイティブなら
It's a long story, but I'd rather pass than fail.
NEWIt's a long story
金具だけNot really — there's a reason, but I can't go into the details today. Still, I'd rather pass than fail, so I want to prepare as much as I can.
解説
☓there is a like a → there's a reason。a と like と a が並んで、中身が来なかった。☓I cannot explain the details → I can't go into the details。go into detail で「詳しく話す」。
★★I'd rather pass than fail は完璧。would rather A than B の形。★講師の「気楽に」に、Not really と正直に返した。理由は今日は話さない、と線を引いている。
先生Well, I don't know how their grading works there with that one. I'm sure you're going to pass, it's just whether you know, what kind of level. Usually they don't fail so much, it's just, um, you know, whether you get the right grade that you need. I think you're good enough. It's just how you cope with exams. You know, some of them...
解説
★★講師は、英語の力ではなく「試験への対処」の問題だと言った。I think you're good enough. It's just how you cope with exams。
盗む
It's just how you cope with exams.
cope with ~ = 〜にうまく対処する。力は足りている、あとは本番の扱い方、という励まし方。
生徒Yeah, so if you remember, you know, I put text in the chat.
ネイティブなら
If you remember, I've put the text in the chat.
解説
☓I put text → I've put the text。今チャットにある1本の文章なので the。
★If you remember で入った。講師と以前にも指の話をしている前提。
先生Yep, yep, I see.
解説
★画面が届いた。
生徒It's like my mnemonic, like a memorization system, ten fingers, ten themes, and it's my original, completely original, created my AI, you know. I didn't write anything, I just suggested, yeah. And so I wanna internalize them. And so today, um, if you are okay, I wanna, like, in the ten topics about, but I want to memorize the key phrases or things in an interesting way. And because it's pretty boring just for me reading the article out loud for the thought that it can, you know, hope it stick to me, it's like, for me it's okay, but I, I kind of like try to be beneficial both, you know, you and I don't think that you are okay, you know, just I'm a student, so you can help me in various ways, but still, um, I kind of came up with the idea that this article is about Japan. It's culture or some kind of random stuff and it's also, there are important phrases or key words that I can internalize, so that some kind of big words or some kind of idioms scattered throughout the text.
ネイティブなら
I came up with the system; the AI did the writing.
NEWdid the writing
金具だけIt's my own memorization system — ten fingers, ten themes. The idea is mine, but the AI wrote it; I just told it what I wanted. I want to internalize the key phrases in an interesting way. Just reading it out loud and hoping it sticks is boring, and I want it to be useful for both of us, so I had it write about Japanese culture, with the key phrases and idioms scattered throughout the text.
解説
☓created my AI → created BY AI。☓I just suggested → I just gave it the idea / I just prompted it。suggest は目的語が要る。☓hope it stick to me → hoping it sticks。☓try to be beneficial both → I want it to be useful for both of us。
★★★scattered throughout the text は、前夜の検死が渡した形である。第121夜のツッコミの drill に The keywords are scattered through the text と書いた。今夜、自分の説明の中で throughout に1語だけ変えて出した。1夜で回収。 ★この教材がなぜ自分と講師の両方に得なのかを、講師に向けて説明している。1ターンは長いが、線は1本 — 読み上げだけでは退屈、だから日本の話にした、講師も楽しめる。
先生Mm-hm.
解説
★相槌。
生徒So, reading this article, it's like my version of DMM Daily News.

生徒So, long story short, so I'm gonna like use this material as my preparation for the exam. And can, and I wanna do this like off the cuff way, I wanna, I'm gonna read out, read it out loud basically, but feel free to chime in whenever you want. And also try to comment on this article. AI wrote, you know, so I have to like add some kind of my opinions. So that's the today's topic. And so, could you like pick number one through ten, so that it, we can go from that number, and I will go from there.
ネイティブなら
Pick a number, any number, from one to ten.
NEWPick a number, any number
金具だけLong story short, I'm going to use this as exam prep. I'd like to keep it off the cuff — I'll read it out loud, and feel free to chime in whenever. I'll also add my own opinions, since the AI wrote it. So that's today's topic. Could you pick a number from one to ten?
解説
☓do this like off the cuff way → keep it off the cuff / do this off the cuff。off the cuff は副詞の塊で、way を付けない。☓add some kind of my opinions → add my own opinions。☓the today's topic → today's topic。today's がすでに「今日の」を指している。☓pick number one through ten → pick a number from one to ten。
★★long story short / off the cuff / read it out loud / feel free to chime in — 4つとも持っている塊。read it out loud は目的語の it ごと出た(第119夜の read ▲ out loud の持ち場)。★★番号で講師に選ばせる、は今夜の新しい手。原稿の順番ではなく、講師が引いた順に読む。
先生Um, just, just one thing you said, you said to chime in. If you, when you wanted to chime in, um, in, in UK English, I've not really heard that. We would say to chip in. Chip in. Chip in rather than chime in. Well, that's, that's what I, what I'm more familiar with. I'm not sure if it's, uh, just me or, um, it's possibly more American or I don't know, but they mean exactly the same.
解説
★★講師は本人の chime in を止めて、英国なら chip in だと言った。そして I'm not sure if it's just me / possibly more American と、自分の感覚であることも添えた。chime in は2日前の検死が渡した形である。検死の渡した語が、講師の耳で1回ふるいにかけられた。
盗む
Chip in whenever you want.
chip in = 話に口を挟む(英国でよく聞く言い方)。chime in も同じ意味で通じる。英国の講師にはこちらがなじみ、と覚えておけば両方使える。
豆知識
chime in と chip in は、どちらも「会話に一言加わる」で、英米どちらの辞書にも載っている。chip in にはもう1つ「お金を出し合う」の意味がある(講師もそう言っている)。どちらが耳になじむかは地域と人で分かれる。
生徒Okay, I picked that, yeah, picked that up from somewhere, so I, yeah. Chime in, okay, you've never heard of that word, chime in?
ネイティブなら
Okay, I picked that up somewhere. So you've never heard 'chime in'?
解説
☓picked that up from somewhere → picked that up somewhere。somewhere は副詞で from は要らない(from somewhere でも通じる)。
★pick up = 耳で覚える、は正しい。そして講師に聞き返した。直された語をそのまま引き下げず、本当に知らないのか確かめている。
先生No, no, not, not so much, no. Um, but yeah, chip in does have one or two other little meanings as well, but it's, uh, yeah, chip in could be to offer a bit of money as well and stuff like that to a, to a bigger amount. But, uh, but yeah, chime in is fine. I just wanted to mention another one. So you want me to just choose a random number?
解説
★★講師は最後に chime in is fine と言った。直したのではなく、もう1つの言い方を置いた。chip in のお金の意味まで説明している。
盗む
Chime in is fine. I just wanted to mention another one.
相手の言葉を否定せずに、別の言い方を足すときの1文。教える側の言い方としてそのまま使える。
生徒Yeah, could you give me a number?
解説
★正しい。
先生Three.

Poor health takes its toll, yeah this is my target, targeted idiom, takes a toll, takes its toll on people long before anyone needs the hospital bed. By January 3rd, my stomach is sending me formal complaints.

生徒Yeah, you can just google it, but it's sticky rice cakes, yeah. Every single January, it's sad news, actually, every single January, the news warns older people to cut their mochi into small pieces, because people choke on it. It's the only national dish that comes with a safety announcement. Mochi quietly jeopardizes, yeah, mochi jeopardizes the health of grandparents all over Japan.

解説
★★講師は自分の町の話を足した — 家の近くのカフェの外で、若い女の子が中に具の入った小さな餅を売っている。餅がベトナムの街角まで出てきた。
豆知識
ベトナムにも餅米の菓子は多い。バインザイ(bánh giầy)、中に餡の入った白玉のようなバインチョイ(bánh trôi)など。講師が見たのが日本式の大福か現地の菓子かは録音から分からない。
生徒Uh-huh. Dumplings, let me see, yeah, or anything made from rice, so it can have many names, senbei or mochi or yeah. So, anyways, next, but Japan has a clever fix. On January 7th, we eat Nanakusagayu, it's Japanese, like a traditional, I'm not honest to be honest, I'm not familiar with this, Nanakusagayu, rice porridge with seven herbs. It's basically a reset button for the stomach. Disease prevention is a, is a yearly checkup that catches it early, which no treatment can do later. Nanakusa is a checkup just in porridge form.

Mom has to explain nothing. Truth is though... truth is though... the correction on page nine never catches up with the lie, with the lie.

先生Um, well I mean it's interesting, I'm sure, I know that it's just a tradition and I'm sure some parents do keep it. And others, like they say, put it in the bank and you've got something to look forward to. Um, others, I would have thought you go out shopping. Buy some toys. Buy some treats. That's what we used to do, if we, we used to get, Christmas time, sometimes money, but there were lots of like gift vouchers people used to give, instead of buying you a Christmas present that you thought was shit, uh, you'd get a voucher for a shop, so you could go and spend five, 5 pounds in there, or 10 pounds if you're lucky, and buy something that you like. So it's a similar kind of thing in Vietnam as well, when they get the money, the kids can go out shopping, go buy something with it. Some parents, some will, like you say, keep it, some will put it in the bank for the future, there's a way of teaching them about money, others it's, you just go out and buy something.

生徒Yeah, the last one, yeah. I'm gonna end this one. Roots. My right middle finger, no, ring finger. So speaking of roots, this is the thing that surprises foreigners the most. On New Year's Eve, Buddhist temples ring a giant bell 108 times, Joya no Kane, one strike for each human desire. It's been done for centuries. But in recent years, some temples have stopped or moved it to the afternoon, because of noise complaints from new neighbors. Tradition is the old way that gets thrown out as an obstacle until it is gone for good. Those complaints weaken the ties that hold a neighborhood together. 108 desire bell, canceled by desire number 109, I want to sleep. It's funny. So we have 108 desires.

Maybe you're like much better equipped, not equipped, better informed than I am in Japan because you heard a lot of Japanese students tell you something. A giant singing contest on New Year's Eve. Culture is a song everybody knows, and it is learned without lessons. At weddings and at funerals. On New Year's Eve, every grandma in Japan knows the enka songs, and every kid knows the idol songs, and for four hours they are forced to sit through each other's music. It's painful and beautiful. The show safeguards, yeah, this is the word I want to internalize. Safeguards. The show safeguards the ties that the internet would let die. And deep one, identity is a language you count in, and it never really leaves. Whatever passport follows, I've lived abroad and spoken English every day, but when I count Otoshidama money, I count in Japanese, ichi, ni, san, one, two, three. Money always goes back to your first language. Thank you. Yeah. What's your, what do you make of this?
