【前回の課題解答】★★★★

Billは次女のあゆみ（Dog trainer) についてNancyと話しています。

Bill: We had dogs coming out of our ears for the last 2 days. My daughter brought them over and spent the night.
ここ二日間、我が家は犬だらけだったんだ。娘が犬達を連れてきて、泊まって行ったんだ。

Nancy: Put your foot down and tell her she has to figure something else out. I know she is into dog training but you should tell to go somewhere different.
ダメだってきちんと言うべきだよ。そして娘さんに他の方法を考えるように言ったらいいよ。娘さんが犬のトレーニングに夢中だと言うことはわかるけどどこか他の違うところに行くように言うべきだよ。

Bill: we are trying to work with her because she is young and it is a new business but it is just getting out of control.
僕たちは娘に協力しようと頑張っているだけど、彼女は若いし新しいビジネスをスタートしたばかりなのでね。でもだんだん手に負えなくなってきたよ。

Nancy: I bet you have a mess on your hands when they are there with all that hair and all.
犬達がいたときは犬の毛だらけで大変だったでしょう。

Bill: That is not even the half of it but again that is what mom and dad are there for.I think most parents look a different direction when it comes to your kids.
それだけじゃ済まないよ、でも子供達が必要な時のために親がいるんだからね。子供の事になると、ほとんどの親は見てみないふりをするんだと思うよ。

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: Yoko and Team BYB just ran Las Vegas Marathon but me personally think they have a screw loose. That run is brutal.

John: Well, I got to hand it to them. It’s not every day you hear about people with that kind of drive.

Bill: Here is the kicker it’s a night run and it’s cold as hell with the wind blowing all over your face.

John: So how did they make out? Everyone was done?

Bill: Well they are so hyped up about it so it really didn’t hit them until they got home.

John: Well tell her I’m really proud but you would never catch me doing such a thing.
