初級編

Have you been to the community center this week ?

No. I've been busy.

We'll have a new instructor. And she's starting this spring.

I was wondering about that.

Actually, there's gonna be a party for the new instructor on Wednesday at the community center.

Oh. OK. That sounds fun.


中級編

Hi, there! How have you been ?

Good, thanks. And you ?

Good. Have you been to the community center this week ?

No, not this week. How about you ?

Well, I went yesterday and I heard some news about our course.

What did you hear ?

We'll have a new instructor and she's starting this spring.

I was wondering about that.

Actually, there's gonna be a party for the new instructor on Wednesday at the community center.

Oh. OK. That sounds fun.

Is Wednesday good for you ?

I think so. Let me check.

The party for the new instructor is at six thirty pm.

Six thirty is perfect for me. I think I can make it.

Oh. The party is potluck, so everyone brings one dish. Is that OK ?

Yes. I'll bring some Japanese food.

OK. I'll see you Wednesday.

See you Wednesday at the center.

B'bye.

B'bye.


I was wondering about that. こういう言い方をするんですね。
ニュアンスはわかるけれど、使いこなせない感じです。
「考えていた」とか「悩んでいた」いたみたいなニュアンスかな。

No, not this week. How about you ?

Well, I went yesterday and I heard some news about our course.

What did you hear ?

We'll have a new instructor and she's starting this spring.

I was wondering about that.

Actually, she's pretty famous. She wrote a few books and is on TV sometimes.

Wow! She sounds like an expert.

I don't know much about her yet but everyone's going to meet her next week.

I see. I look forward to that.

Actually, there's gonna be a party for the new instructor on Wednesday at the community center.

Is Wednesday good for you ?

I think so. Let me check.

The party for the new instructor is at six thirty pm.

Six thirty is perfect for me. I think I can make it.

Oh. The party is potluck, so everyone brings one dish.　Is that OK ?

Yes, of course.
I wonder what I should bring.

Well, can you bring an hors d'oeuvre ?

I'd be glad to.

A simple dish is fine, like cheese and crackers.

OK. Sounds good.

OK. I'll see you Wednesday.

See you Wednesday at the center.

B'bye.

B'bye.


また、wonder だ。
I wonder what I should bring.　「 何持って行ったらいいかな。」みたいな意味かな。
I can make it. 　このフレーズ最近よく聞きます＾＾

　フォローアップ遅れてすみません。

　で、耳で聞こえてる分には私もこれで正解だと思うんですが、あえて気になる箇所があるとすれば、

Good. Thanks, and you ?

です。

Good, thanks. And you ?

って切ったほうが、音声の空き方に似てるよな気がします。
　何かどうでもいいような気がしますが、あえて書いてみました。

>>2 blueideaさん

　私もwonderって、いまいち概念がつかめていません。
　「オードブル」ってのはこんなスペルなんですね。

　で、揚げ足取りで申し訳ありませんが。

A simple diet is fine, like cheese and crackers.
→A simple dish is fine, like cheese and crackers.

ですね。多分、わかってらっしゃるとは思いますが。

見て頂くだけでも嬉しいです♪
さらにチェックまでしていただいて感謝しています。

”Good, thanks. And you ?”

この部分はsiestaさんがおっしゃる通りです。
書き起こした時、何か違和感があったんです＾＾；

細かいことでも指摘してもらえると嬉しいです。
そういうところは、自分でも曖昧だったり、いまいち理解できていない場合が多いです。

diet → dish 　明らかなミスでした！
