皆様
ご無沙汰しております。
北家です。
10日間のスペイン滞在を経て、帰国致しました :)
まだまだ暖かい地中海の国から戻ると、日本は一段と肌寒く感じます。
５年ぶりのヨーロッパは兎に角遠かったです笑
家族のために10時間40分フライト＋2時間30分待ち＋7時間10分フライトを選択しましたが、challengingでした笑
巨大児はbassinetでツタンカーメン状態にも関わらずとても良い子でした。emiratesのCAさん達もとても親切に接して下さり感謝しております。乳児を連れて飛ばれる際は、pantryの前、トイレの前、ビジネスクラスの前の3択です。pantryの前はCAさんがペットボトルを潰す音とワインボトルを投げ捨てる音、トイレの前はflushの音に要注意です!
という事で、本日も会話練習用のダイアローグを作成致しました。第七弾です!
Dialogue between Singapore Airlines ground attendant Lena Jo (LJ) and transiting passenger Misuzu Tano (MT) of Japan
LJ:
Welcome to Changi International Airport and Singapore.
I’m Lorna Jo of Singapore Airlines.
How may I help you?
MT:
Good afternoon.
My name is Misuzu Tano.
I’ve just arrived on SQ637 from Haneda and want to connect to SQ297 to Christchurch in New Zealand.
LJ:
That flight doesn’t leave until 8 p.m., so you have about six hours until 7.15 p.m., which is when you need to be at gate 93 prior to boarding your flight.
What do you plan to do in the meantime?
MT:
That is what I wanted to talk to you about.
First of all, can you please tell me where gate 93 is.
LJ:
Of course.
It’s about 10 minutes’ walk from here.
Please go down that corridor over there to the right and turn left at the second corner where the Dior duty-free store is located.
Gate 93 is about 350 metres from there on the right.
MT:
Thank you.
That’s very helpful.
Are there any locations where I can set myself up with my computer, wi-fi access and a coffee?
LJ:
There are quite a number of computer work-space areas within Changi – they are shown on this map here with a computer symbol.
Most have coffee stands nearby.
Changi has free wi-fi throughout the terminal.
MT:
Thank you again.
About 5 p.m., I’d like to have a light meal.
Are there any good-quality cafes near gate 93?
LJ:
There are many cafes and restaurants scattered throughout Changi and their quality is good.
Cafes are shown on the map by the LM symbol and restaurants by a knife and fork.
There are several quite close to gate 93.
MT:
Thank you.
I have one further question, which relates to showers.
Between my light meal and going to gate 93, I’d like to have a shower and change my clothes.
Where can I do that?
LJ:
There are three pay shower areas within Changi.
This one here on the map is closest to gate 93.
MT:
Thank you.
Can you tell me, please, what the cost is and whether towels, soap and shampoo are provided.
LJ:
Yes, those items are included in the price, which is US$10 for 30 minutes.
MT:
Thank you for all your advice, which will enhance my time here.
文法ポイント:
時制とは、過去VS現在・未来です。
基本概念として、過去は過去形と過去進行形及び過去完了形と過去完了進行形で描写し、現在・未来は現在形と現在進行形で描写します。
では、現在完了形と現在完了進行形の役割とは?
(法助動詞と疑似法助動詞は話者の気持ちを表現し、各時制の描写を補填します。)
発音ポイント:
thの音は舌を前歯の裏に移動させながら出すのでは無く、舌を前歯の裏にセットした状態から出す音です。
参考になさって下さい :)
次回に続きます!
