LESSON ・ 会話 + 検死 + 解説
★★★本題 — 試験会場でスマホの電源を切れなかった男が、国のサイバー防衛を英語で論じた。英検1級の一次(10/4 日曜)の2日後、10/6 火曜の夜。本人は、一次の作文で出て崩れたお題(Should governments invest more in cybersecurity?)を、二次の面接の練習に持ってきた。AI に書かせた資料の1行目は自分で読んだ — I'm the least qualified person in Japan to talk about this.

検死レポート（ノイズ＝直すべき癖）
第131夜。本題 — 試験会場でスマホの電源を切れなかった男が、国のサイバー防衛を論じた。英検1級の一次の2日後、本人は一次の作文で崩れたお題(Should governments invest more in cybersecurity?)を、二次(面接)の練習に持ってきた。AI に書かせた資料の1行目 — I'm the least qualified person in Japan to talk about this。money の指では、トヨタ14工場の1日停止(取引先1社への攻撃)に自分の小さな会社を差し込み(one small supplier, like me)、国は大企業ではなく小さい会社を守れ、と論を立てた。freedom の指では、資料の I support it を読んだ直後に口が no, no, no, I don't と裏返し、strike a balance に着地した。講師は Prevention is better than cure(資料の文の元)と mom and pop を置き、面接委員の役で policing か investing か、誰が払うのかを聞き返した。録音に講師の名前は無い。前夜の宿題 — ①an FAILED(一夜3回)/ ②made it up NO_CHANCE / ③kill time NO_CHANCE。今夜の宿題 — should be held accountable / have your cake and eat it too / with respect to。
ネイティブらしくない癖
資料の事実に自分を差し込んで論を立てる(one small supplier, like me)。これは維持する → 資料の事実を読んだら、like me / in my case で自分の立場を1文足す
書かれた意見を、読み上げた直後に口で裏返す(I support it → no, no, no, I don't → strike a balance) → 立場は最初の1文で言い切る。strike a balance は最後に1回だけ
定型を並べて実況する(in terms of / as far as I know / when freedom's concerned / with respects to) → 定型は1文に1つ。並べると4つめで部品が落ちる
語が出ないとき how do you say と相手に投げる(mom and ... → mom and pop)。これは維持する → 投げて返ってきた語は、その場で1回自分の文に入れる
乖離（短いSVOで言い切る練習）
トラウマになったお題: I was traumatized by this topic. / That topic did a number on me.
AI に資料を作らせた: I had AI write this. / I got AI to write this.
お題を1つ選んでもらう: Could you pick one?
自分の会社が狙われたら: If my company were targeted, I'd be finished. / I couldn't protect my company from a cyberattack.
政府の責任: They should be held accountable.
両取りはできない: You can't have your cake and eat it too.
自由に関しての結論: With respect to freedom, you have to strike a balance.
同い年の億万長者: I'm so envious. Just kidding.
先生Hey, hello.
解説
★2日前に英検1級の一次を受けた男の、火曜の夜。
生徒How's it going?
解説
★How's it going? — 前夜の Yep(How are you? に噛み合わない)から、今夜は挨拶を挨拶で返した。
先生Right, shall I tap my, tap my camera?
解説
★講師がカメラの話から入った。前夜、本人は next time, on camera と言って終えている。
盗む
Shall I turn my camera on?
Shall I ~? = 〜しましょうか?相手の希望を聞く申し出。英国で特によく使う。米国なら Should I ~? / Do you want me to ~?。
生徒Yeah.
解説
★1語で受けた。
生徒Okay. Can you max your volume? I don't know, like usually I can hear your voice clearly but a little bit volume is not... I don't know why.
ネイティブなら
You're coming through a bit quiet tonight.
NEWcoming through
金具だけOkay. Can you turn your volume up? Usually I can hear you clearly, but your voice is a little quiet today. I don't know why.
解説
☓a little bit volume is not → your voice is a little quiet / you're a bit quiet。volume を主語にして否定で終えると、何が足りないのかが言えていない。quiet / low で1語。☓max your volume → turn your volume up / max out your volume。max は口語で動詞にもなるが、相手の機械の話なら turn up が普通。
★★音の小ささを、相手を責めずに言う場面。本人は I don't know why を2回足して、原因を相手に置かなかった。気づかいは正しい。足りないのは quiet の1語。
先生Try and move it nearer to my mouth.
解説
★講師はマイクを口に寄せた。try and + 動詞は英国の口語(try to と同じ)。
盗む
Try and move it nearer.
try and do = try to do の口語版。英国英語でとくに多い。書き言葉では try to。
生徒Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just, just, just easy answer, yeah. Okay, thank you so much.
ネイティブなら
Yeah. That's an easy fix. Okay, thank you so much.
解説
☓easy answer → an easy fix / a simple fix。機械の不具合が直る方法は answer ではなく fix(名詞)。
★マイクを寄せるだけ — 本人はそれを easy answer と呼んだ。言いたいのは簡単な直し方、a simple fix。
生徒But yeah, I don't know, maybe your, yeah, distance with the mouth and yeah, yeah, your... yeah, that's the issue, yeah.
ネイティブなら
Maybe it's the distance from your mouth. That's the issue.
解説
☓distance with the mouth → the distance from your mouth。距離は from(AからBまで)。
★原因を自分で特定した。distance from の from だけが with にずれた。
先生It's just, it's, it's not what it used to be this microphone. Like I said, I still haven't bought a new one. But uh, yeah, moving it far away from my mouth, it seems to like suddenly make it really quite, make might make it cut out.
解説
★★講師のマイクは前から調子が悪い — Like I said, I still haven't bought a new one。前に同じ話をした相手である。どの夜の講師かは推定しない。
盗む
It's not what it used to be.
It's not what it used to be = 昔ほどじゃない、衰えた。物にも町にも人にも使える。My knees aren't what they used to be(膝が昔ほどじゃない)。
生徒Yes, that's not good, yeah. Yeah, because I already maxed out my, yeah, volume, so usually, yeah, there's no issue, so maybe that's okay, thank you.
ネイティブなら
Yeah, that's not good. I've already maxed out my volume, and usually there's no issue, so it's probably fine now. Thank you.
解説
☓I already maxed out → I've already maxed out。今の状態の話なので have が自然(米国の口語では過去形でも通る)。
★maxed out my volume — 自分の音量は上限まで上げてある、を正しく言った。さっきの max your volume が、自分の側では maxed out で立った。
生徒Um, and I guess, so, let's get straight into the topic, you know, Eiken exam, speaking test, practice.
ネイティブなら
Anyway, let's get straight into it — Eiken speaking test practice.
解説
★★let's get straight into the topic — 前置きを切って本題に入る定型を、自分で撃った。今夜の目的は二次の面接の練習。
生徒So, um, I put, can you see? Are you sharing? Are you...
ネイティブなら
I've put something up — can you see it? Is it showing?
解説
☓Are you sharing? → Is it showing? / Can you see my screen?画面を共有しているのは本人。相手に are you sharing と聞くと、共有している人が逆になる。
★画面の共有を確かめる1文で、主語が相手に入れ替わった。
先生Yeah, I can see it, yeah, yeah.
解説
★見えている。
生徒Yeah. This uh Eiken grade 1 AI made, you know, minutes ago, I, AI, I got AI write this stuff. And, yeah. So speaking test practice, 10 fingers on cybersecurity. Do you remember, like uh, last Sunday, I took, I took the Eiken exam and uh, the topic was about cybersecurity. Yes. And essay, writing essay. Then I kind like a made a elementary kind of, you know, uh, kit, like in stuff. And I was waffling, I was rambling. But uh, and so, let's overcome this article, this topic. Because it's kind of similar, right, writing, speaking, the output. So, it's, there it's just the matter of you writing or speaking. So, I want to, I wanted to start with this topic. Because I was traumatized this topic at that, you know, day after tomorrow, day after, uh, day before yesterday. So I wanna, you know, I wanted to focus on this topic.
ネイティブなら
That topic did a number on me.
NEWdid a number on me
金具だけI had AI write this a few minutes ago — Eiken Grade 1 speaking test practice: ten fingers on cybersecurity. Remember, last Sunday I took the Eiken, and the essay topic was cybersecurity. I wrote something like an elementary-school essay. I was waffling. I was rambling. So let's tackle this topic. Writing and speaking are similar — both are output. It's just a matter of whether you write it or say it. That's why I wanted to start with this topic. I was traumatized by it the day before yesterday.
解説
☓I got AI write this → I got AI TO write this / I had AI write this。get なら to が要る、have なら原形。☓a elementary → AN elementary。前夜の宿題①、今夜1回目。☓let's overcome this article → let's tackle this topic。overcome は困難を乗り越える。話題に取り組むのは tackle。☓it's just the matter of → it's just a matter of。☓I was traumatized this topic → I was traumatized BY this topic。受け身の後ろの by が落ちた。★day after tomorrow → day before yesterday は自分で直した。
★★★今夜の構造の宣言 — 作文で崩れたお題を、そのまま話す練習に持ってきた。it's just the matter of you writing or speaking — 書くのも話すのも同じ出力だ、と自分で理屈を立てた。★★I was waffling, I was rambling — 第129夜に講師から受け取った waffle を、2夜あけて自分の作文に使った。☓a elementary — 前夜の宿題①、1回目。★day after tomorrow → day after → day before yesterday — 明後日から一昨日まで、口が日付を4日ぶん往復して着地した。
豆知識
traumatized は臨床の語でもあるが、口語では大げさな冗談としても使う。I'm still traumatized by that exam は、笑い話として普通に言える。ただし本当に心の傷を負った人の前では軽く使わない。
生徒And, so, maybe you read already everything, I'm not sure. Can I, can I read this article out loud?
ネイティブなら
Maybe you've already read the whole thing, I'm not sure. Can I read it out loud?
解説
☓maybe you read already everything → maybe you've already read the whole thing。already は have と組む。語順も already read。
★read it out loud — 前夜まで崩れがちだった out loud が、無傷で立った。
先生Mhm.
解説
★どうぞ。
生徒So, are you ready? Ready, ready?
解説
★読む前に相手の準備を確かめた。
先生Just, just start reading it. I'll, I'll, I'll listen.
解説
★講師は聞き役を引き受けた。
生徒Yeah, quick read, yeah. Uh, yeah, my, my nickname, Tonio. The real goal here is better English. The exam is just my excuse, a deadline with a scary room attached. Why cybersecurity? In the first stage.
解説
★★資料の書き出しは乗った — The exam is just my excuse, a deadline with a scary room attached。試験は口実で、本当の目的は英語。怖い部屋つきの締め切り。
生徒Yeah, uh, I couldn't turn off my phone. Maybe, did I, did I tell you this story? You know, I couldn't turn off my phone, and uh, you know, Eiken required us to turn off the phone, and uh, they checked, actually checked if that's turned off or not. So, and I bought my phone couple months ago and I never turned off my phone. And so I didn't know how to turn off. And such an embarrassing story.
ネイティブなら
I couldn't turn off my phone. Did I tell you this story? The Eiken requires you to turn your phone off, and they actually check whether it's off. I'd bought my phone a couple of months ago and had never turned it off, so I didn't know how to. Such an embarrassing story.
解説
☓couple months ago → a couple of months ago。前夜と同じ文で、a と of が2夜続けて落ちた。☓I didn't know how to turn off → how to turn it off。目的語の it が落ちた(前夜も I couldn't turn off)。☓if that's turned off → whether it's off。
★★★今夜の本題の根拠 — 試験の日、本人は電源の切り方を知らなかった。資料の Why cybersecurity? のすぐ下に、この事件が置いてある。★such an embarrassing story — 母音の前の an が立った。前夜の宿題①の、今夜唯一の正解。
先生Oh, but that did, did, do you think that made you start sweating even more?
解説
★講師は前回の汗の話とつないだ。汗だくで会場に着いた話は、第129夜・第130夜に出ている。
盗む
Do you think that made you start sweating even more?
make 人 start ~ing = 人が〜し始めるきっかけになる。even more = さらに。make me nervous / made me laugh と同じ使役の make。
生徒Yes, I got my, my phone got confiscated. That's a funny story.
解説
★confiscated — 前夜の語が2夜連続で立った。
先生Yeah, I mean, it's even funnier if you're like in the exam and suddenly your phone is ringing. You know...
解説
★講師は最悪の場面を想像して笑った。
生徒Yeah, yeah, that, that was the worst case, yeah, so I have to...
解説
★the worst case — 次の行で worst-case scenario まで伸ばす。
先生In the, in the, in the back room and it's like, ding ding ding, calling, like every 5 seconds, like your friend is calling you...
解説
★没収された電話が、預かり部屋で5秒おきに鳴る — 講師が場面を足した。
生徒Yeah, I, I, I was ex- expelled, you know. I was off to, you know, it's like I, I would never gonna take a test again. If that, if that happened. So, it's the worst case scenario, you know, I, I, I wanted to avoid the worst case scenario, so I thought I could, maybe, maybe, you know, I could pretend I could like uh, be pretend like uh, I don't have a phone today, kind of stuff. So, but uh, and uh, yeah, my, I, it's, it's uh, there is no ringing. It's uh, airplane mode, or uh, you know, I know, I, I, I was pretty sure that my phone never, you know, make a noise in that. But still, a little bit nervous, right? Because I couldn't turn off my phone, so...
ネイティブなら
If that had happened, I'd have been kicked out, and I'd never take a test again. That was the worst-case scenario, and I wanted to avoid it. So I thought maybe I could just pretend I didn't have a phone that day. It was on airplane mode, so I was pretty sure it wouldn't make a sound. But I was still a little nervous, because I couldn't turn it off.
解説
☓I would never gonna take → I'd never take / I was never gonna take。would と gonna は同じ席に2つ座れない。☓be pretend → pretend。be の持病(一般動詞の前に be を1枚貼る)。☓I don't have a phone today → I didn't have a phone that day。☓my phone never make a noise → it wouldn't make a sound。助動詞が落ちて三単現も無い。
★★worst-case scenario — 2回続けて正しく言った。☓be pretend — 前夜の I was make it up と同じ型。be が動詞の前に1枚貼られた。★出ていく(expelled)と言ったのは誇張。本当に没収で済んだ。
豆知識
expel は学校から退学させる・組織から追放する、の語。試験会場から出される、なら be kicked out / be removed / be disqualified(失格)。英検の受験上の注意では、試験中に携帯電話が鳴る・使用すると失格になりうる。
先生Right, I know what you mean. But it's uh, is it a relatively new phone? Because I, I, I've encountered this issue recently, like I've got some new phones and um...
解説
★★講師も同じ問題に最近ぶつかっていた。笑い話を、自分の側の話で受けた。
盗む
I've encountered this issue recently.
encounter an issue = 問題にぶつかる。run into a problem の少し硬い版。仕事のメールでもそのまま使える。
生徒Uh, China made, Huawei, yeah, kind of.
ネイティブなら
It's Chinese-made — a Huawei, or something like that.
解説
☓China made → Chinese-made / made in China。
★機種を答えた。
先生They're, they're just not easy to turn off. Like uh...
解説
★講師は本人の側に立った — 新しいスマホは切りにくい。
生徒Yes, yes, I still don't know, I still don't know how to...
解説
★★試験の2日後でも、まだ切り方を知らない。
先生I got one for my mom and I gave, I, I gave it to my mom and you have to like press one button, but like hold down another button at the same time...
解説
★★講師の母の新しいスマホも同じ — ボタンを1つ押しながら、別のボタンを長押しする。
盗む
You have to press one button and hold down another at the same time.
press = 押す / hold down = 押したままにする。前夜の台本の hold down がここで講師の口から出た。操作の説明の定番。
生徒Yeah, my, yeah, my uh, old phone, you know, like uh, some, I, I knew. Put like hold like 3 minute, 3 seconds, same button, that, that was a, yeah, but I, yeah, I thought that, so, but uh, yeah, funny story was like I didn't try, even try to turn off my form for 3 months.
ネイティブなら
With my old phone, I knew how — you just held the same button for three seconds. The funny thing is, I hadn't even tried to turn my phone off for three months.
解説
☓3 minute → 3 seconds は自分で直した。☓I didn't even try → I hadn't even tried。試験の時点までの3か月。my form は書き起こしの phone。
★3分 → 3秒、自分で桁を直した。3分長押しする電話は、切れる前に指が切れる。
生徒But you know, you don't have to turn off your phone, right? Because it's today's, you know, phone is, you never gonna turn off your camera or phone. So...
ネイティブなら
But you don't really have to turn off your phone these days, right? You're never going to turn it off.
解説
☓you never gonna → you're never gonna。gonna の前の be が落ちた。☓your camera or phone → your phone。
★本人の弁護 — 今のスマホは切る物ではない。
先生I know, I know, you don't need to, but it, it, left it run out of battery. It's a, it's a, um, an interesting point or like a weird coincidence that I've en-...
解説
★講師の口語 — 切らずに電池切れまで放っておく。an interesting point の an が立っている。
生徒Yeah, weird coincidence, yeah.
解説
★講師の語を拾った。
先生Like how, why are they making it more difficult to turn the phone off? You know, like in the, in this old, this old phone that I've got...
解説
★★講師が問いを立てた — なぜ電源を切りにくくしているのか。今夜のお題(サイバーセキュリティ)の前に、もう1つ別の議題が生まれた。
生徒Make you more addicted to the phone, yeah, maybe it's a, all this stuff, crazy, evil strategy behind...
ネイティブなら
There's probably some evil strategy behind it.
NEWbehind it
金具だけTo make you more addicted to your phone. Maybe there's some crazy, evil strategy behind it.
解説
☓Make you → To make you。目的を答えるなら to。☓strategy behind → behind it。
★★本人の答え — 依存させるため。電源を切れない男が、切れない理由を設計者の悪意に求めた。
先生All you need to do is literally just press the button and it turns off. It's weird, but they're supposed to be making things more user friendly, right? Not less user friendly. Now you have to like open the app... Turn the phone off.
解説
★★講師 — 昔の電話はボタン1つ。使いやすくするはずが、使いにくくなっている。
盗む
They're supposed to be making things more user-friendly, not less.
be supposed to = 〜するはずなのに。期待と現実のずれに文句を言う形。more A, not less A で対比を締める。
生徒The phone off, they, there, there's no possibility to, you know, make money, you know, in, so they, they don't want you to turn off camera, so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe, yeah, maybe not that, it's not kind, kind of conspiracy, but uh, still, maybe weird, true.
ネイティブなら
There's no money in a phone that's switched off.
NEWthere's no money in
金具だけWhen the phone's off, there's no way for them to make money. So they don't want you to turn it off. Maybe that's a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it's still weird.
解説
☓there's no possibility to make money → there's no way for them to make money / there's no money in it。☓turn off camera → turn it off。
★陰謀論の手前で自分で止めた — maybe not that, it's not kind of conspiracy。
生徒But we failed that part and an analysis asked, yeah, so, yeah, AI, AI activated, instead of, you know, my phone got off, AI activated, I didn't know that. And, you know, I gave up and uh, I, yeah, my phone got confiscated.
ネイティブなら
But I failed that part. An assistant asked — the AI started up instead of my phone turning off. I didn't know it would do that. I gave up, and my phone got confiscated.
解説
☓my phone got off → my phone turned off / switched off。get off は乗り物を降りる(前夜の宿題②)。電源は turn off。an analysis は書き起こしの an assistant とみられる。
★資料に戻った — AIが起動して、電源は切れなかった。☓my phone got off — 前夜の宿題②の get off が、電源の席に座った。電話が電車を降りた。
生徒And invigilator, I didn't know this word, like proctor or examiner in English, in England they use, you use, in invigilator?
ネイティブなら
And the invigilator — I didn't know this word. It's like proctor or examiner. Do you use invigilator in England?
解説
☓in England they use, you use, in invigilator? → Do you use invigilator in England?疑問文の do が落ちて、語順が平叙文のまま。
★★前夜の語(invigilator)を、3夜目にネイティブに検品させた。
先生We always use that, yes, that's the uh proper word for the person who overlooks...
解説
★★講師の判定 — We always use that。invigilator が正式な語だと確認された。overlooks は講師の口語(oversees / supervises の意味で)。
盗む
That's the proper word for it.
the proper word = 正式な、きちんとした語。the proper term とも。語を確かめられた時の返事。
生徒Yes, not like a examiner, yes, it's like just overlook, yeah, overlooker, stuff.
ネイティブなら
Right, not an examiner — someone who just oversees the exam. A supervisor.
解説
☓a examiner → AN examiner。前夜の宿題①、今夜2回目。☓overlook → oversee。overlook は普通「見落とす」。監督するのは oversee / supervise。
★★☓not like a examiner — 前夜の宿題①、2回目。試験の語の前で、a が an にならなかった。★overlooker — 講師の overlooks を名詞にした。英国には工場の監督を指す overlooker という古い語が実際にあるが、今は普通 supervisor。
生徒Took my phone away, yeah, funny story, and one, the only one in the room, yes. So, I'm the least qualified person in Japan to talk about this, cybersecurity. Yeah, if I can do this topic, I can do any topic. Yeah, so that's why I chose this topic. The method, 10 fingers, 10 angles, and each asking what, what could people lose, okay, okay. And uh, yeah, how to, uh, how you can help me. Uh, I'll say a card without looking, yeah, it's not, it's, it's not good, it's not, no.
解説
★★★資料の芯が口に乗った — I'm the least qualified person in Japan to talk about cybersecurity. If I can do this topic, I can do any topic。部屋で1人だけ電話を取り上げられた男が、それを資格の証明にした。★10本指 — 10の角度から、人は何を失うかを聞く方法。
生徒If around, uh, so I'm gonna, uh, AI made stuff, I'm gonna uh take a right now, uh, screenshot again, and you know, we know already 10 finger methods. So put another, I'm gonna put another screenshot, wait a minute. Um, how do I, okay. Yeah, let me.
ネイティブなら
I'm going to take another screenshot of the AI stuff. We already know the ten-finger method. Let me put up another screenshot. Wait a minute.
解説
☓we know already → we already know。already は動詞の前。☓10 finger methods → the ten-finger method。
★画面を切り替える間の独り言。
生徒So, this is uh, only 6, but uh, yeah, let's start with this kind of topic. And uh, yeah, so, wait a minute, uh, already this is set. So test is small talk 1 minute, maybe I'm good with small talk, no problem. And uh 5 topics and uh you have to choose 1 and uh 1 minute prep and uh, yeah, speech 2 minute speech and uh following question and see, kind of thing. So, but I don't, you know, want to monologue 2 minutes, me waffling, rambling and uh, maybe it's, I don't wanna do this today. I'm a little bit tired and uh fatigued, mentally fatigued. So, just casually talk about each topic, you know, cybersecurity involved around topic but uh still it's, it was uh explained in a different dimension, different ways, like 6, you know, money, time, body, fairness, freedom, trust. So, uh, could you, could you pick up one topic?
ネイティブなら
There are only six here, but let's start with these. The test goes like this: one minute of small talk — I'm fine with small talk — then five topics, you choose one, one minute to prepare, a two-minute speech, and follow-up questions. But I don't want to do a two-minute monologue today, just waffling and rambling. I'm a bit tired — mentally fatigued. So let's just talk casually about each one. They're all about cybersecurity, but from different angles: money, time, body, fairness, freedom, and trust. Could you pick one?
解説
☓pick up one topic → pick one topic。pick up は物を拾い上げる・迎えに行く。選ぶのは pick だけ。☓following question → follow-up questions。☓cybersecurity involved around topic → topics revolving around cybersecurity。
★★二次の形式を自分で正確に説明した — 1分の雑談、5つのトピックから1つ、1分の準備、2分のスピーチ、質疑応答。★mentally fatigued — 疲れを、体ではなく頭の側に正しく置いた。☓pick up one topic — 選ぶ、に up が1枚余った。
豆知識
英検1級の二次は面接で約10分。自由会話 → 5つのトピックから1つ選び1分で準備 → 2分スピーチ → 面接委員との質疑応答。トピックは社会・政治・科学などの抽象的な問い(Should ~? / Is ~?)が多い。
先生Well I mean I was, I was looking at money and I, it wouldn't have occurred to me...
解説
★講師は money を選んだ。
盗む
It wouldn't have occurred to me.
It wouldn't have occurred to me = 自分なら思いつかなかった。occur to 人 = 人の頭に浮かぶ。相手の発想を認める言い方。今夜の講師はこれを2回使った。
生徒Okay, so money, let's start money, yeah, because I wanna...
ネイティブなら
Okay, let's start with money.
解説
☓let's start money → let's start WITH money。
★start with の with が落ちた。
先生But the uh, each article that I've read that's been about some cyberattack or something, um, they do talk about the economical, uh, how it impacts the economy or impacts the infrastructure or supply chain and all this type of thing. So that possibility...
解説

And what, one of Japan's biggest video sites, yeah, YouTube, kind of stuff. And offline for about 2 months, wow, it's devastating. And the company lost, well, you know, your company crashed maybe and then, you know, it's 2 months, you know, it's, it's so much blow. Far more than a security team would have cost.

ネイティブなら
Niconico is kind of old — it's like a Japanese version of YouTube, but pretty outdated now. Maybe that incident finished it off. It's one of Japan's biggest video sites, and it was offline for about two months. That's devastating. Two months — that's a huge blow. It cost far more than a security team would have.

生徒And uh, isn't, isn't, so push back, isn't that company's own fault? Yeah, no, so, maybe I remember, the, the question, like a, exact question was I took Eiken exam, uh, government involved, should governments invest more in cybersecurity. So, that's where governments should step in, right? It's, you cannot solve this huge problem in one company. Even if it's like uh, Google or Amazon, but they, you know, they don't, they are not public, right? They are not, it's a private company pursuing their own profits, so they are reluctant to share the, their information, you know, public, you know, it's, it's obviously, yeah, it's reasonable. So it's not their accountability or responsibility. So, yeah, government definitely should step in, in this field, and uh provide like information and, you know, solve in a bigger picture, you know what I mean. Because governments are the biggest institutes, right, in the, yeah, like nations are, it should be a, should held, held accountable and uh, yeah, our taxpayers' money should be spent in this kind of cybersecurity stuff so that everyone can benefit from that. Like, thing, so, that's my answer, maybe it's, it might be, it maybe make sense.
ネイティブなら
The government has to step in, because one company can't carry this alone.
NEWstep in
金具だけPush back: isn't that the company's own fault? Well, the exact question on the Eiken was "Should governments invest more in cybersecurity?" And this is where governments should step in. One company can't solve a problem this big. Even Google or Amazon are private companies pursuing their own profits, so they're reluctant to share their information with the public. That's reasonable. It's not their responsibility. So the government should definitely step in, share information, and look at the bigger picture. Governments are the biggest institutions, so they should be held accountable, and taxpayers' money should be spent on cybersecurity so that everyone benefits. That's my answer. I think it makes sense.

生徒Mom and pop, sorry, broken, broken English, yeah, so, you know, I mean, yeah, small shops, you know, like, like me, I'm, you know, I'm a small company, cannot, you know, deal with kind of big, because if I was being targeted, you know, it's finished, you know. I couldn't prep-, I couldn't uh deal with kind of, prevent myself, my company from cyberattack from some such a, you know, MI6 or, you know, such an evil people, you know, there's no chance, I cannot, you know.
ネイティブなら
Mom-and-pop shops. Sorry, broken English. Small businesses like mine — I run a small company. If I were targeted, I'd be finished. I couldn't protect my company from cyberattacks by some MI6-type people or whatever — evil people like that. There's no chance.
解説
☓if I was being targeted, it's finished → if I were targeted, I'd be finished。仮定は過去形 + would。主語は it ではなく自分。☓prevent myself, my company from cyberattack → protect my company from cyberattacks。prevent A from B は「A が B するのを止める」。守るのは protect A from B。☓such an evil people → such evil people。people は複数なので an は付かない(今夜、an の過剰が1回)。

生徒So, so instead of like small companies, uh, in behalf of, I think, you know, in, yeah, because that eventually helps, eventually uh, helps like, because you, the, the evil guys, uh, hackers trying to poke hole at, because it's not about just small, you have to protect uh small mom and shop kind of stuff. No, because that is a easy target for uh evil guys to like sneak in. And eventually it, it's like has a huge ramification, maybe this some kind of Toyota, I'm not sure but Toyota, yeah, was not in this article but uh, yeah, this one, time, can I read this one?

金具だけSo the government should act on behalf of small companies, because that helps everyone in the end. Hackers are always trying to poke holes in the system.

生徒So one weak link can consume uh whole country's working day. In 2022, Toyota uh stopped every uh every factory in Japan for a day, not two months. And because one small supplier, like me, you know, my mom and shop kind of, very small, because Toyota, it's like a huge economy, one economical system. And a pyramid, it's like millions, not millions but still maybe millions of small companies. Like uh, the cooperation, uh, it's the entire ecosystem there. So one small company got hacked, that ramifications was huge, so in Japan for a day because one small supplier was hacked, yeah, I see. 14 factories stood still. And none of them was the target, yeah. So, it's you have to approach this issue as a, as a whole, not like, you know, it's um, but and at the top of the kind of system we still have nations, governments, so we, they have a huge responsibility to protect small companies, not large companies. Large companies have a lot of money, they can spend to protect their own profits and stuff. So they are kind of like a may- very, very protected, no issue, but, so, that's my point. Do you understand?
ネイティブなら
Large companies can afford to protect themselves. Small ones can't.
NEWcan afford to
金具だけ"One weak link can cost a whole country a working day. In 2022, Toyota stopped every factory in Japan for a day" — not two months — "because one small supplier was hacked." A supplier like me — a small mom-and-pop business. Toyota is like its own economy, a pyramid of thousands of small companies — an entire ecosystem. One small company got hacked, and the ramifications were huge. Fourteen factories stood still, and none of them was the target. So you have to approach this issue as a whole. And at the top of the system, we still have governments. They have a huge responsibility to protect small companies, not large ones. Large companies have plenty of money to protect themselves. That's my point. Does that make sense?
解説
☓that ramifications was huge → the ramifications were huge。複数なので were。☓one economical system → one economic system。economical は「安上がりな」。経済の、は economic。☓the cooperation → the corporation(書き起こし)/ the whole group。☓Do you understand? → Does that make sense?意味は通じるが、相手の理解力を試す響きがある。自分の説明を確かめる形にすると角が立たない。

NEWscraping by
金具だけI'm a crazy guy, so I watched this clip three times today. I love the way he gets his point across. You can look him up — he's already a billionaire. And he's 34, my age. Crazy. Why am I just scraping by?

先生Are you envious, are you envious of him? Why are you not a billionaire inventing some VR headsets?
解説
★★講師は本人の言葉を拾って、からかって返した — なぜ VR を発明して億万長者になっていないのか。刃は本人に向いていて、本人も笑って受けた。
盗む
Are you envious of him?
be envious of 人 = 人をうらやむ。jealous of とほぼ同じだが、envious は「相手の持っている物がほしい」に寄る。jealous は失うことを恐れる気持ちにも使う。
生徒No, no, no, envious. So much envious, I'm joking, you know, I don't care about money, but uh, yeah, it's, but he was talking about like in-, China's, maybe some conspiracy kind of thing going on him, and uh, but you know, we enjoy conspiracy theory, you know, you know, I know you are like some kind of conspiracies. It's about China, yeah, so it should, yeah, maybe it's, you know, it doesn't, it doesn't waste your time, it's funny.
ネイティブなら
Trust me, it's worth your time.
NEWworth your time
金具だけNo, no — I'm so envious. I'm joking. I don't care about money. But he was talking about China — some kind of conspiracy going on. We both enjoy conspiracy theories, and I know you're into them. It's about China. It's worth your time — it's fun.
解説
☓So much envious → I'm so envious。形容詞の前は so。so much は動詞か名詞。☓I know you are like some kind of conspiracies → I know you're into conspiracy theories。be into = 〜にはまっている。☓it doesn't waste your time → it's worth your time / it's not a waste of time。
★★No, no, no, envious. So much envious — 否定から入って、2語目で全部認めた。そして I'm joking と I don't care about money で回収した。★I know you are like some kind of conspiracies — 講師の好みを覚えている。前に陰謀論の話をした相手である(どの夜かは推定しない)。

解説
★書き起こしはここで切れている。音が途切れた所で、記録は終わる。
盗む
The sound cut out.
cut out = (音や電源が)急に途切れる。The sound keeps cutting out / You cut out for a second。通話の定番。冒頭で講師がマイクについて言った might make it cut out が、最後に本当に起きた。
