レッスンのメモ。
Talking about people from your past.
過去の知り合いだった人について語ってみる。
「こんな知り合いがいてね(describing)、こうなってんじゃないかな(speculating)」
という表現方法。
日常的に使うといえば使うけど、レッスンは難しかったな。
何枚か写真があって、過去のこういう知り合いだった、今はこうなってると思う
みたいなのを捏造して話すのですが、
考えるのも苦しいし、考えたことを英語にするのもまた・・・
---------------------------------
I once worked with a guy who was really good with computers.
When I was living in New York,I knew this girl who could speak five different languages.
I had some really interesting friends in university.
I really hated how my last boss used to make me work late.
I had these neighbors who ues to really bug me with their loud music.
I think he was hoping to start his own computer cumpany.
She must be really successful by now.
I wonder what they're up to these days.
I bet he's no different now.
They're probably doing the same thing to their new neighbors now.
---------------------------------
This guy I used to work with really bugged me because he never did any work.
He'd spend all day drinking coffee and doing crossword puzzles.
I bet the company's fired him by now.

The walking-smoking guy really bug me. 歩きタバコは不快ですわ。
You're starting to bug me. あなたのことで腹が立ってきた。
