第四課言葉使い~レストランで会話田中:君は何にする。
奥さん:メニューを見せてちょうだい。
田中:ほら、メニューだよ。
奥さん:ええと、ハンバーグとライスと野菜サラダ。
それから、アイスクリームがいいわ。
田中:へえ。
太るのを気にしてるわりには、ずいぶん食べるんだなあ。
奥さん:まあ、失礼ね。でも、食べ過ぎかしら。
田中:ははは。
冗談だよ。レストランなんか、めったに来ないんだから、いっぱい食べたらいいさ。
ぼくは、カレーライスとコーヒーにしよう。
店員:ご注文はお決まりでしょうか。
田中:ええ。
ハンバーグにライスに野菜サラダにアイスクリーム。それに、カレーライスとコーヒーをください。
店員:はい、かしこまりました。
アイスクリームとコーヒーは、お食事の後でお持ちすればよろしいでしょうか。
田中:ええ、そうしてください。
店員:はい、かしこまりました。
正文は、田中さんと奥さんが、レストランに行った時の会話です。二人が話しているところに、レストランの店員がやって来た場面です。
この会話には、日本語の話し言葉の特徴が、いくつか現れています。
日本語の会話では、人間関係によって言葉使いがずいぶん変わります。
家族や友達同士のような親しい関係では、「です」「ます」を使った丁寧な言い方はあまりしません。「何にしますか。」という言い方ではなく、「何にする。」と、くだけた言い方をするのが普通です。
田中さんは、奥さんに対してくだけた言い方をしていますが、レストランの店員に対しては、丁寧な言い方をしています。店員は、田中さんに向かって特に丁寧な言葉使いをしています。親しい関係でないうえに、店員とお客という立場の違いがあるので、特別丁寧なのです。
日本語には、男性と女性の言葉使いにも違いがあります。例えば、自分のことを「ぼく」と言うのは、男性特有の言葉使いです。女性は普通「わたし」と言います。
逆に、「食べ過ぎかしら。」という表現は、主に女性の言葉使いです。男性だったら、「食べ過ぎかな。」などと言います。

中级口译听力教程第三版7BRevision exercises four.Part A. Spot dictation. Listen and fill in each of the blanks with the words you have heard from the recordings.Travelers to new cities are often told to start their trip with the bus tour. The thinking is that they can then return to the places that interested them. Non-sense. What you see from the inside of the moving bus is unreal, and completely removed from the authentic sites, sounds and smells outside. Be adventurous, the best way to experience any place is on foot and with absolutely no travel plan, simply go wherever your feet and your interest lead you. You eventually will get to the same sites as you are in the bus tour, the museums, the monuments, city hall, but you will have seen much more. You will have felt the contemporary life of the city. But what if I get lost? People might ask. No one ever gets hopelessly lost in the major city. Eventually you can find your way back to a well-known location. If it frightens you to be lost just find a taxi and go back to where you started. However the nicest things can happen if you get lost. You stop at the side walk cafe to sit and relax. You ask for instructions of the local people at the next table. And even if they don’t speak your language, your trip becomes more memorable because of the experience. Here are a few more ways to get the most out of your travel. Know before you go. Spend a few hours before your trip, learning about the history and culture of your destination. This will help you understand what you are seeing. Move around like a local. Use the subways and buses of the city you are visiting. You will not only save money but you will also learn how people really live. Check the bulletin boards. Sometimes you can find advertisements for free concerts and other fun activities on bulletin boards around universities. So the next time you see a poster advertizing an introductory bus tour, save your money, instead wander on your own, I promise you a time you will remember with great pleasure.Part B. Listening comprehension.1. Statements. Listen and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you hear.1) I am leaving for a conference tomorrow, and I will be away for 2 weeks. I suppose you could email your paper to me there.2) Since professor Smith cannot come on Friday, the quiz will be postponed until next week’s class.3) Excuse me. Do you have any apartments available for under 500 dollars a month? I need to move in next week when my new job starts.4) I am having trouble fitting into my jeans. It looks like I have to cut down what I eat.5) Lisa is out of office again, another business meeting, she will be flying to Paris early tomorrow morning.6) We are worrying that we won’t be able to turn in our economics papers on time, but fortunately the professor says that he will give us one week extension on it.7) Did you see the diamond ring Bill gave to Linda? It must have cost him an arm and leg.8) We’ve got to be in London by Sunday. We could take the train but a direct flight will be a lot less complicated and maybe even cheaper.9) If you can’t start doing better soon in this course, I am afraid you are going to have to drop it. Why don’t you get some help from the graduate assistance?10) I am sure wish I had a metric ruler with me, I need the measurements in millimeters, not in inches, and I am tired of converting.2. Talks and conversations. Listen and choose the best answer to each question you hear. Questions 11 to 14 are based on the following conversation.M: I really appreciate your filling me in on yesterday’s lecture.W: No problem. I thought you might want to go over it together, and anyway it helps me review. Hope you are feeling better now.M: I am, thanks. So you said she talked about squid, sounds a little strange.W: Well, actually it was about the evolution of sea life, a continuation from last week. The octopus and squid descended from earlier creatures with shells, they survived by shedding their shells somewhere between 200 and 500 million years ago.M: That’s a pretty long span of time.W: I know. That was what she said though, to be precise, exactly when they emerge is uncertain, and why is still unexplained.M: Some squid are really huge. Can you imagine something that big is still had a shell?W: Actually it’s because they lost their shell that they could evolve to a bigger size.M: Make sense. But some are really huge. I have read about fisherman that caught squid that weighed over a ton. Did she talk about how that happens?W: Not really. But she did mention some usual cases. In 1933 in New Zealand, they caught a squid, it was 22 yards long, its eyes were 18 inches across. Can you imagine?M: Reminds me of all those stories of sea monsters.W: Dr. Simpsons thinks that there are probably even larger ones that haven’t been found, because squid are intelligent and fast, so they can easily get away from humans. Maybe some of those monster stories are true.Questions:11) What topic are the man and woman discussing?12) Why does the man need to talk to the woman about the class?13) According to the woman what happened 200 to 500 million years ago?14) What does the woman imply about the sea monsters?Questions 15 to 20 are based on the following conversation.M: So Andria, you are going home for the holidays?W: I sure am. I booked the flight for tomorrow afternoon. And I can’t wait.M: That sounds great.W: What about you? Going home too?M: I haven’t decided yet. I am still debating.W: Haven’t decided? Oh, you are never going to get a flight out of here. I am sure all the seats have been reserved by now. It’s the holiday season after all.M: Well, it’s not such a big deal for me. My family o nly lives about a hundred and fifty miles from here. I usually drive or take the train. It’s a short trip.W: You don’t sound very excited about it.M: Well, we are not really a very close knit family. I have 3 brothers and they are spread out all over the place. One lives on the east coast, and the other on the west coast. I even have a brother in Montreal.W: Oh, wow! What does he do?M: Translation work. It’s kind of strange, but we rarely get together as a family any more. W: Well, I tried to get home as much as possible. We are a big family. There are 6 of us children. So it’s always a lot of fun.M: Six kids?W: Yep, and we are all really close. You should see it. Most of us are married too. So it makes it a very crowded house for the holidays.M: I can imagine.W: Because there are too many people to cook dinner for, it’s a real headache for my parents. So we end up going out to dinner a lot. It’s pretty crazy.M: Well, at my house my mother loves to cook. So when all of us do get home, which isn’t that often, she always cooks big home made meals. We have left-overs for days.
