Sinopsis

2007年に完結したハリー・ポッター・シリーズですが、英語で読んでみたいという人も多いのではないでしょうか。今回の会話は、まだ日本語の翻訳が揃っていなかった頃のお話。物語の結末を知ろうと一生懸命にハリー・ポッターの原書と格闘している女性を、男性がからかって(tease)いる様子です。 ところでハリー・ポッターの原書は、魔法の呪文(magic spells)など物語特有の表現に慣れれば比較的読みやすいので、ぜひ挑戦してみてください。番組の最後では、Joeが英語の本を読むときのこつを紹介しています。 Download MP3 (15:03 8.7MB 初級~中級) *** Script *** M: Hey!!!! W: Crazy!? You scared me!!! I was reading! M: Good. Hey, you're still reading Harry Potter? Are you ever gonna finish that? W: Very soon!! M: Why did you start reading in English? There's a Japanese version, isn't there? I know you like speaking English, but I thought you didn't like reading English. What changed? W: Would you mind, Mike? I'm reading now. Don't talk to me. M: Hey, Saori. Come on. Why so testy? W: (Sigh) Sorry, Mike. I just have…you know…a headache. M: A headache? That's because you are trying new things. Stop reading! W: But I want to know what happens to Harry in the end! Of course, there'll be a Japanese version someday. I think it's gonna be next year. But I can't wait!
