課題1

下記の文章を訳して下さい。

Billは友人のAlexに愛犬Baileyの話をしています。

Bill: I took my dog to the vet today. I wasn’t sure which way she would go but luckily everything turned out okay.
今日、犬を獣医に連れて行ったんだよ。僕の犬がどのような行動をとるのか分らなかったけど、ラッキーなことに大丈夫だったよ。

Alex: I’m not following you, was there something going on with Bailey?
よく意味が分からないんだけど、ベイリー何か問題でもあるの？

Bill: No, Not at all. She is as healthy as a horse but she is a beast so I didn’t know if someone was going to get their hand torn off.
いや、全くないんだけど、ベイリーは至極健康なんだけど、彼女は荒っぽいから誰かを噛んでしまうかもと思ってね。

Alex: Oh wow! I see Bailey is aggressive and likes to attack.
ええ！そうなんだ。ベイリーは気性が激しく、攻撃するのが好きなんだ。

Bill: Well not really but Bailey is over protective at the house but over all she is a very friendly dog, you know.
そうじゃないんだ、でもベイリーは家を過剰に守ろうとするんだ、でも全体的にはとてもフレンドリーな犬なんだ。

Alex: Glad it all worked out and she behaved like Bailey supposed to.
全てうまくいって良かったね、それに彼女はベイリーらしく振る舞ったからね。

【今回の課題】★★★

Billは友人のRobertに日本旅行について話しています。男性同士、友人同士の会話ですので日本語訳もそのような感じが出るように訳してみましょう。

Bill: After 15 years I finally made it back to Japan but what a rat race it was. Overall I must say I had an amazing time.

Robert: So what did you do while hanging out in Tokyo?

Bill: Truthfully, eat, drink and meet people and at the end of the day just die.

Robert: Sound like you were on the run at all times.

Bill: Exactly! After I came back home I wasn’t sure what planet I was on but what an awesome time we had.
