Hi, guys!!\u00a0 This is Beth with a unique topic for you!<\/p>\n
First, do you know how to work (use) a remote?\u00a0 “Of course!” you say?\u00a0 Most of you probably know all the right words in Japanese!\u00a0 Can you do it in English?<\/p>\n
I know!<\/p>\n
You’re most likely thinking “\u30ea\u30e2\u30b3\u30f3\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3063\uff1f\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201d\u305f\u3044\u3057\u305f\u3053\u3068\u306a\u3044\u3088\uff01\u201d<\/p>\n
Ok!!<\/p>\n
For starters, you\u00a0DO know that \u30ea\u30e2\u30b3\u30f3 is NOT English, right?\u00a0 If you think “remote control” is kind of long,\u00a0you can shorten it to “remote,” never \u30ea\u30e2\u30b3\u30f3, though!!<\/p>\n
Easy so far?\u00a0 Great!!<\/p>\n
Now, let’s talk about\u00a0using one of these remotes in English!!<\/p>\n
In my family, a variety of dialogues takes place\u00a0on a daily basis!\u00a0 Both English and Japanese can be heard (often mixed)!\u00a0 The following are some examples:<\/p>\n
***\u306d\u3048\u3001\u30ea\u30e2\u30b3\u30f3\u53d6\u3063\u3066\uff01<\/p>\n
Hey, could you grab the remote for me?<\/p>\n
***DVD\u5165\u3063\u3066\u308b\u304b\u3089\u518d\u751f\u62bc\u3057\u3066\uff01<\/p>\n
The DVD’s in the machine!\u00a0 Just hit “play”!<\/p>\n
***\u3053\u3053\u30a4\u30e4\u3060\u304b\u3089\u65e9\u9001\u308a\u3057\u3066\uff01<\/p>\n
I don’t like this part!\u00a0 “Fast forward” it!<\/p>\n
***\u3044\u304d\u3059\u304e\uff01\u3000\u5c11\u3057\u623b\u3057\u3066\uff08\u5dfb\u304d\u623b\u3057\uff09\uff01<\/p>\n
You went too far!\u00a0 “Rewind” it a little!<\/p>\n
***\u98f2\u307f\u7269\u3068\u3063\u3066\u6765\u308b\u304b\u3089\u3061\u3087\u3063\u3068\u6b62\u3081\u3066\uff08\u4e00\u6642\u505c\u6b62\uff09\uff01<\/p>\n
I need a drink!\u00a0 “Pause” it for just a sec.<\/p>\n
Do any of these sound familiar to you?\u00a0 I’m guessing most people use one or more of the above expressions at sometime or another!<\/p>\n
Next time you’ve got the remote in your hand, why don’t you try switching into “English” mode!!\u00a0 Good luck, and have fun!!<\/p>\n
*******words and expressions you should challenge*******<\/p>\n
