【前回の課題解答】★★★★

Billは隣人のJakeに、道路工事について話しています。今週も男同士の会話です。

Jake: Hey Billy, why are the side streets around here such a rat race? Normally it is smooth sailing.
ビル、どうして横道がこんなに混んでいるんだい？普段はスムーズなのに。

Bill: You got that right. They are tearing up the streets nearby so everybody is going through here. What a nightmare!
本当に。近くで道路工事をしているので、みんなこの道を通っているんだよ。最悪だよな。

Jake: How long will this carp be going to last? I hope not too much longer.
あとどのくらいこの工事続くんだろね？すぐに終わってくれるといいんだけどね。

Bill: It should be wrapped up in a few more days so just bare with it.
あと数日以内には終わるはずだからガマンしないとね。

Jake: What choice do I have so I’ll just act like this doesn’t exists and before you know it, it will be over.
他に方法ないんだから、工事のことなんて考えないようにしていたら終わっているよ。

Bill: That’s a good sport and say do you want to go to Starbucks?
前向きな考え方だな。スタバでも行く？

【今回の課題】★★★★

BillはDodgers play offsについて従兄弟のMikeと話しています。今週も男同士の会話です。

Bill: The Dodgers are in the play offs right now and everybody is on the edge of their seats.

Mike: I hear ya. It’s been a real nail bitter but I know they are going to pull this off.

Bill: I’m with you, Mike. By the way, did you catch the football game held in London over the weekend?

Mike: Absolutely, what was really impressive was there were so many people with different team jerseys there. Because I had no clue it was that popular in London.

Bill: Mike, if you have nothing going on tonight, let’s go and catch the play off game at a sport bar.

Mike: I’m down. I’ll pick you up with Uber in an hour or so.
