Hey there, it’s Nick Kemp here with Sandwich Eikaiwa Podcast 12
Thank you for joining me again. The past month has been a great month for Japanese sport. And next month(正しくはnext week) is gonna be a huge month with the World Cup.
Last month, Kei Nishikori became the first Japanese tennis player to join the top-10 of the men's world rankings. So congratulations to him.
Golfer Hideki Matsuyama claimed his first PGA Tour victory at the Memorial Tournament. And at just 22 years of age he has become the youngest winner of this tournament. Awesome stuff there!
And Samurai Blue, Japan's national football team defeated Zambia 4-3 in its last warm-up match before the World Cup finals.
頑張れ日本! Go Samurai Blue!
英語で「頑張れ日本!」とはどのように表現するのでしょうか?
Well, we can say:
- Go Japan! - 行けー日本!
- Come on Japan! - 日本頑張れ!
So are you excited about the World cup? I bet you are.
And what do you think of Japan’s draw? You’ll be playing against Greece, Colombia and Ivory Coast (Cote D’ivoire). I think you are in with a good chance to make the round of 16. I think you’ll beat Greece and Ivory Coast, but you’ll struggle with Colombia.
My country, Australia, has a horror draw. We are in group B and we will have to play against Spain, the Netherlands and Chile. I don’t like our chances. Unfortunately, I don't think we will win any of our games and we won't make the final round of 16.
Are you a die hard soccer fan?
Are you going to Brazil for the World cup?
Well, if you are, you’ll need to learn some travel English. And speaking of travel Englsih, do you know what time it is? It’s Sandwich Eikaiwa time.
サンドイッチ英会話
Image Training in English
After spending a few hours in the sun swimming and sunbathing you work up an appetite. You decide to treat yourself to fish and chips at a famous restaurant right on the beach. You have heard this restaurant serves the best fish and chips in the world. You walk into the restaurant and are amazed to see all the tables dressed with white table cloths, lots of sparkling cutlery and several large wine glasses. There are some empty tables by a large window that has a spectacular view of the beach. A waiter greets you ask if you are eating alone. You say “Yes”. You want to sit by the window. What do you say?

文法ポイント
今回のサンドイッチのパンはCan I 何々。Can I はキャナイと発音します。
この意味は「何々することはできますか」「何々してもよろしいですか」。
許可を求めたり、お願いをする場合の表現です。Can I よりもMay I のほうが丁寧な表現ですが、日常的に同じ意味として使うことが多々あります。スタッフがお客様に対してお願いや要求の意味として使うのは殆どがMay I です。
