今週のストーリーをもう一度聞き、それぞれの内容確認の質問に英語で答えてみましょう。
Spirit: I’m Sylphie. Thank you for rescuing me.
RoboCorpus: Are you a robot?
Sylphie: No. I’m the spirit of words. I dwell in the world of languages.
RoboCorpus: My name is RoboCorpus. I’m a translation robot.
Lex: I’m Lex, an electronic dictionary.
Jukichi: I’m Jukichi, the only one who is not related to languages….
Sylphie: I know you. You are related to languages.
Jukichi: Oh? What do you mean?
Sylphie: You’ll see.
Lex: Why were you locked up in the book?
Sylphie: I was fighting against a dark force called “the Negatives.” They control people’s minds with negative words.
Jukichi: And they trapped you in that book so that you wouldn’t stop them, right?

Sylphie: A long time ago, Ms. Saito’s father collected dictionaries and happened to buy the red book in which I was trapped.
Lex: But he never found you.
Sylphie: To find me, you need “the power of words.” Ms. Saito’s father wrote dictionaries, but his power of words wasn’t strong enough. However, I think you three must have incredible power.
RoboCorpus: I just want to know how to be a human.
Sylphie: I see…. You still don’t know what fate awaits you.
Lex: Can you see the future?
Sylphie: No, but I can feel it.
RoboCorpus: Anyway… I have to help Boon with his contest, and I need to run on sports day!

Ms. Saito: OK! I think you’re ready!
Boon: Thank you! I’m so glad I could practice with you.
RoboCorpus: You’ve memorized so many words.
Ms. Saito: Yes. You’re well beyond the level of a junior high school student.
Boon: I enjoyed learning new vocabulary.
RoboCorpus: I wanted to go with you, but I have to run during the town’s sports day tomorrow.
Boon: Yes, that’s right. Good luck!
Ms. Saito: I want to tell you something about your real name, Boon.
Boon: Oh, Fumihiko?
Ms. Saito: Yes. Have you ever heard of Otsuki Fumihiko? He wrote the first modern Japanese dictionary called “Genkai” in the Meiji Era. Remember. You have his spirit within you.

MC: Hello, everyone! The English Vocabulary Contest is about to begin. Let’s start the preliminary round.
Ms. Saito: OK, Boon. You worked hard, and you will prove it was worth it. Ready?
Boon: Yes, ma’am.
MC: Now it’s time for the 1,500-meter run. This year, we have a special guest, an AI robot, RoboCorpus!
Spectator: Look at that robot! His legs are so short!
Lex: Do you think he can make it?
Jukichi: He made a promise to Boon. Let’s hope so.
Sylphie: I’ll be with you, RoboCorpus. Let’s do this!
MC: On your marks. Get set. Go!
