【前回の課題解答】★★★★

Billは同僚のDanと感謝祭について話しています。

Bill: We just had 4 days off and it was like a dream. We just kicked back and hung around the beach for a bit.
4日連休だったんだけど、まるで夢のようだったよ。家でのんびりしてちょっとビーチでブラブラしたんだ。

Dan: Same here. I was pretty much a couch potato because there are
so many sports going on right now but my wife wasn’t too excited about that.
僕も同じだよ。僕はほとんどカウチポテトだったね。だって、今ってスポーツ中継がたくさんあるだろう。でも僕の奥さんはあまり喜んではいなかったけど

Bill: I hear you they don’t like it when we are glued to the TV but what the heck we deserve it.
わかるよ、奥さん達って僕達がテレビに釘付けになっているのは好きじゃないからさ。でも気にしないよ、僕らにとっては当然の権利だしね。

Dan: Right! I love to watch the games rather than going to the mall, you know.
その通り。モールに行くよりテレビで試合を見ている方がいいよ。

Bill: Well, hey I need to get my nose back to work or my boss will be all over me. I’ll yell at you later.
さあ、仕事に戻らないと、じゃないとボスに怒られるから。あとで連絡するよ。

【今回の課題】★★★★

下記の文章を訳して下さい。

Billは友人のPaulとクリスマスツリーについて話しています。

Bill: Well, we got our Charlie Brown tree all up. It’s not a monster but it does the job.

Paul: I happen to like those kind of trees because they don’t take up a lot of space and if you do them right they look awesome.

Bill: What about your tree? I haven’t heard anything from you. Are you just going to blow it off this year?

Paul: It’s on my mind but I’ll be traveling during the holidays and I’ll be in and out the whole season so it doesn’t make much sense.

Bill: Well, swing by my house and I’ll take a picture in front of my tree.

Paul: Okay funny guy I might take you up on that.
