Lesson 019
ピーコック教授のアトランティスについての講義にジェシカは感激しています。
Professor Peacock, today’s lecture was amazing! I didn’t know anything about Atlantis.
Thank you, Jessica. Now I’m planning my next research trip to that area.
To Atlantis? Is there really such a place?
Well, there are some ruins in Northern Africa that might help answer that question.
Can I join you on your trip?
Yes, I am selecting ten students for this trip.
How can I apply?
Applicants should come to my office at 9:00 a.m. on Monday.
Lesson 128
古代人の宇宙論についての講義のあと、ジェシカがピーコック教授に感想を述べています。
I enjoyed your lecture on “Cosmologies of Ancient Peoples.”
It’s surprising how much they got to know about the universe without telescopes.
Yes. Even today, it’s hard to understand how big the universe is.
You can say that again.
I wonder if we will ever travel to another planet in our solar system.
That’s many people’s dream.
It might come true someday.
Lesson 213
ピーコック教授が引退を検討していることを学生のジェシカに告げます。
Jessica, I have to tell you something. I’m thinking of retiring.
Sorry, I didn’t catch you. Could you repeat that?
I’m thinking of retiring.
What? I thought teaching and archaeology were your life.
That’s true, but I’m getting older, you know. Maybe my best days are behind me.
Don’t say that, Professor! Your classes are very popular, and you still have to find the ruins of Atlantis.
Well, yes, that is still my dream.
Lesson 223
大学生のジェシカとアルバートがピーコック教授の最新刊について話しています。
Well, I finally finished reading Professor Peacock’s latest book.
What did you think?
I believed about 25 percent of what he wrote. The majority of the book is pure fiction.
Why do you say that?
He jumps to too many conclusions. And there’s no evidence for his theories.
I think I agree with most of what you’re saying.
So, why are you such a big fan of his books?
I like his writing style.
