【前回の課題解答】★★★★

YokoとBillは毎週の課題について話しています。

Yoko: So I guess this will be the last story for this year. Are you going out with a bang or going to hit them with something out of reach?
今年最後のストーリーになるんだね。今後はびっくりするような課題にするつもり、それともより難しい課題をだすの？

Bill: I’ve been going back and forth about that and I think I’ve finally got it. I want to get our readers’ input. I want to know if there is something more that they may benefit from.
そのことについてずっと色々考えているんだけどやっとどうするか決めたよ。読者からの意見が欲しいな。読者にとって、何がよりためになるのが知りたいんだ。

Yoko: Not bad, so you want their input regardless of good or bad. That’s a really cool idea. So what is your game plan?
悪くないわね、つまりあなたは読者からいいも悪いも含めての意見が欲しいのね。とても良いアイデアだと思うわ。であなたの計画はなんなの？

Bill: Nothing. Just tell us how we are doing and the pros and cons that you encountered during this year’s homework and we will consider each readers suggestions.
何もないよ。今年の課題に関して、僕達のやり方について良いところや悪いところを言ってくれると、僕達も読者の提案を考慮できるからね。

Yoko: Right, so you get a report card to perhaps bring about new changes in the direction you are going.
そうね、読者からのレポートを得ることができるし、多分新しい方向性が出せるかも知れないね。

Bill: You hit the nail on the head, so first describe this story and at last let us know how you feel. Happy New Year guys.
その通りだよ、最初にこの課題の解答を書いてもらい、読者のみなさんがどう感じているかも書いてもらえばいいね。みなさん新年おめでとう！

下記の文章を訳して下さい。

BillとYoko の新年の会話です。

Bill: I started this year off with a bang and I joined the gym. I’m gonna be in tip top shape before you know it.

Yoko: That’s so typical, I mean everyone has that kind of New Year resolution. You know stop smoking, loose weight and quiet drinking.

Bill: I’m for real and I’m gonna stick to my guns on this one because the older I get the harder it becomes.

Yoko: Fine, do you want to put some money on that? Because I will take you to the bank.

Bill: Heck ya! You are on. So what are you talking about? A bill?

Yoko: Sounds good to me, looser!
