アオイはジョーのズボンに穴が空いていることに気づきます。

Joe, you can’t wear these pants anymore. Look, there’s a hole in the back pocket.
But those are my favorite pants. All my other trousers are too tight on me.
Well, you can’t go out in these. What will people say?
They can say what they like. It doesn’t bother me.
Listen, you’re getting new pants. Let’s go shopping. I need to get some new clothes for spring anyway.
OK. If you insist.

電器店で年配の男性が古いワープロのインクリボンを探しているようです。

Hi, I’m looking for an ink ribbon cartridge for my word processor.
Word Processor?
You don’t know what that is?
I’ve heard of them. Unfortunately, almost nobody uses them now.
Can you check for me? Here’s the old cartridge.
Mmm… I’m afraid they stopped making these about ten years ago.
Oh, no! So, I can’t use my word processor anymore?
There might be some old cartridges available on the internet.
OK, thanks.

会社の同僚カナとケンが昼食で中華料理店に来ていますが、ケンは料理を残します。

Why didn’t you finish your lunch, Ken? Weren’t you hungry?
Actually, I was hungry, but I couldn’t eat that stuff.
Was it that bad?
To put it mildly, it’s the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had.
But it was your idea to come here for lunch.
Well, this used to be a good restaurant. I guess they changed the cooks recently. I’m never coming back.
Oh, that’s too bad. My food was fine.

会社の同僚のジョナスとヤヨイが、オフィスの移転で引っ越しの準備をしています。

Yayoi, do you have any more labels for the boxes?
Sure, here you go. As the boss mentioned before, we need to put our desk number on all our boxes.
Got it. Why do we have to move now? I’m extremely busy.
Everybody’s busy, Jonas. Assisting in the move is part of your job.
Well, I hope you understand I might be late with my report.
Like I said, this move has priority now.
