大学から実家に戻ってきているレンが母親と話しています。
Mom, your beef bowl is the best! It’s so much better than the one they serve in my college cafeteria.
I’m glad you like it. We ran out of red pickled ginger, though.
No ginger, huh? That reminds me of my new English teacher, Onishi-sensei.
Really? Why?
Well, I like my new teacher but hate his jokes.
Why does having no ginger remind you of his jokes?
He always says “No ginger“ when he means shouganai!
カズオとミーガンが北海道でラーメンを食べています。
So this is real miso ramen. It’s delicious.
Yes, there’s nothing quite like miso ramen.
Why aren’t you slurping your ramen? I heard it’s not bad manners to slurp noodles in Japan.
But I’m not Japanese.
Oh, I thought you were Japanese.
Actually, I’m British. My parents are Japanese. They immigrated to the UK a long time ago.
Oh, right. So, you don’t speak any Japanese at all?
Well, a little, but I’m not at all fluent.
ミナのおじが、ミナの学校の先生の悪い噂を聞きつけ、ミナに話します。
Mina, I heard a rumor about your school.
Really? What kind of rumor?
Well, I heard there is a strict teacher at your school who tells bad jokes.
Bad jokes? Oh, I think I know who you’re talking about. It’s my teacher!
Oh, really. I heard he sometimes puts students down.
No way! My teacher never puts students down, but always gives us confidence!
OK, that’s a relief. What’s your teacher’s name?
I don’t want to say.
歌舞伎を見に来ているバーニーとマリコが、昼食について相談しています。
Mariko, do you know when the kabuki show starts?
Let me check. Yes, it starts at 11 a.m.
Oh, right. So, what shall we do for lunch?
I bought these makunouchi bentos for us while I was waiting for you. We can eat them during the intermission.
Thanks a lot. You’re very well organized. But tell me, what exactly does makunouchi mean?
I think it means “between the acts.”
Oh, that’s interesting. The problem is, I’m hungry already!
