　 This is English USA, on the Voice of America. Now, Lesson 99, Part 2.

　

　

　

MARTIN:

Would you like more coffee?

　

EILEEN:

No, could I have some water?

　

MARTIN:

OK. Waiter.

　

WAITER:

Can I bring something else? Would you like some dessert?

　

MARTIN:

No dessert, thanks. Could I have more coffee and a glass of water?

　

WAITER:

Sure.

　

EILEEN:

Did you like this play as well as the last one?

　

MARTIN:

What was the last one? Was that the comedy?

　

EILEEN:

Yes. The one about the family in New York.

　

WAITER:

Here you are. Who gets the water?

　

EILEEN:

I do. Thanks.

　

WAITER:

Have you been to the theater?

　

MARTIN:

Yes, we have.

　

WAITER:

What did you think? Did you like it?

　

EILEEN:

Yes, we did.

　

MARTIN:

There were some problems, but we both liked it. Have you seen the play?

　

WAITER:

Yes. My roommate is in it.

　

EILEEN:

Really?

　

WAITER:

He was the son.

　

EILEEN:

He was very good.

　

WAITER:

He hates the play.

　

MARTIN:

Why!? We thought it was very real.

　

WAITER:

That's probably why he doesn't like it. It's too real. His mother died last year.

　

EILEEN:

Oh, I see. How awful. And he has to see his mother die every night in the play.

　

WAITER:

He wants to leave the play.

　

MARTIN:

That's too bad.

　

VOICE:

Waiter.

　

WAITER:

Excuse me. I'm glad you liked the play. I'll tell him you liked it.

　

EILEEN:

Tell him we liked him too.

　

MARTIN:

That's very interesting.

　

EILEEN:

Isn't it? That proves it was very moving. It moves the actors too.

　

MARTIN:

I guess you're right. What were we talking about before the waiter came?

　

EILEEN:

How this play compared with the comedy.

　

MARTIN:

I can't compare them. This was a serious drama. The other was a comedy.

　

EILEEN:

I liked this one better.

　

MARTIN:

But you always like a serious play better. You don't really like comedies, do you?

　

EILEEN:

Maybe not. I can't remember a comedy I liked. Can you?

　

MARTIN:

Not this year. Not last year either. I guess I don't like comedies very much either.

　

EILEEN:

Martin, you're a writer.

　

MARTIN:

A reporter.

　

EILEEN:

Well, you write.

　

MARTIN:

Yes, I write stories for radio.

　

EILEEN:

How would you make the play better?

　

MARTIN:

I think it could be better. First, I would make the first half shorter. Don't you think that would help?

　

EILEEN:

But I liked everything in the first half. What would you leave out?

　

MARTIN:

That's the problem, isn't it? I don't write plays, you know.

　

EILEEN:

Maybe you should.

　

2.
　

感想や評価には個人的な好みが反映されることが多いです。マーティンとアイリーンが劇についての感想や評価を言う様子を聴いてください。

　

MARTIN:

There are some problems, but we both liked it.

　

　

　

　

WAITER:

He hates the play. It's too real.

　

　

　

　

EILEEN:

Tell him we liked him too.

　

　

That proves it was very moving.

　

　

I liked this one better.

　

　

　

　

MARTIN:

I guess I don't like comedies very much either.

　

3.

Yes. I always enjoy going to the theater.

　

EILEEN:

Even when you don't like the play.

　

MARTIN:

I like talking about it.

Lesson 99, Part 2はこれで終わりです。
