ラジオ英会話 Lesson 193 応答④：意見・提案を却下する
KEY SENTENCE I take your point, but I think you’ve misunderstood what I meant.
Today’s dialog
大学生のタクマは、同級生のミランダが以前行った発表と似通った内容の発表をするつもりのようです。
Takuma: Hi, Miranda. I need your advice.
Miranda: Sure, what’s up?
Takuma: I remember your great presentation on Ancient Rome and Tokyo. I’d like to compare Tokyo and ancient Greece.
Miranda: That’s not original. You’d be giving the same presentation as mine.
Takuma: Not really. Ancient Greece and ancient Rome were different cultures.
Miranda: I take your point, but I think you’ve misunderstood what I meant. It’s basically the same idea.
Takuma: So, I shouldn’t do it?
Miranda: Well, something completely different would be better.
