<p>受講レッスン:News alert</p>
<p>タイトル:“Why Ransomware Is The Most Popular Tool For Cyberattacks”</p>
<h6>内容に入る前の質疑</h6>
<p><strong>Question</strong>: How safe do you think your computer is against program malwares?</p>
<p><strong>My Answer</strong>: It is difficult to say the exact number. But if you use Windows and turns on Windows Defender, and you don’t connect an unknown network, it would be very safe.</p>
<p><strong>Question</strong>: What are the antiviruses you have and how sure are you that they are effective?</p>
<p><strong>My Answer</strong>: I use just Windows Defender. I read an article about the antiviruses. It says that if you use Windows, to use Windows Defender is the most safe way other than to use software not for free, for example, McAfee or something like that.</p>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Nadia: All right, but what if they don’t want to admit wrongdoing?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(わかったわ。でももし彼らが誤りを認めたくなかったらどうしよう)<br />
<br />
Andre: If we reach a settlement, they don’t need to. They’ll simply pay out.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(もし和解までたどり着けば、彼らは裁判をする必要ないよ。彼らは単純に膨大な支払いをすることになるよ)<br />
<br />
Nadia: Even if they don’t admit it, at least I’ll be able to talk freely about it.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(たとえ彼かが認めなかったとしても、少なくとも私は自由にそれを語れるわ)<br />
<br />
Andre: Well, that might be a problem. Many settlements require confidentiality – from both parties.<br />
(うーん、それは違うよ。多くの和解のケースでは両者間で秘密保持が必要なんだよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Nadia: You mean if I settle, I can’t talk about it?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(つまり、もし和解すれば、私はそれを話してはいけないってこと?)<br />
<br />
Andre: If there is a confidentiality clause, you’d be in breach of contract if you discussed the settlement.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(もし、秘密保持の条項があれば、もし和解内容を話した場合契約違反になるね)<br />
<br />
Nadia: I didn’t know that. You mean I can’t talk about what they did to me without getting my day in court?<br />
(それは知らなかったわ。つまり、私は裁判を行ったこと以外、彼らが私に行ったことを話してはいけないということね?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Andre: That’s the long and short of it.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(正しいね)<br />
<br />
Nadia: I guess justice is blind – but only for the rich!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(判決はフェアってことになるのね、でもお金持ちのためのものね)<br />

<div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr">
(去年のレポートは小さなミスがたくさんあって、重大なミスもいくつかあったんだ。その結果、そのレポートを更新版を発行する結果になったんだ)</div>

Ellie: Okay, but I thought it had already been signed off on by the department heads.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(わかったわ、でもそれってすでに部門長が合意したものでしょ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
to sign off/on something: to approve something, or to say okay</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Takagi: It has, but those are the same department heads who skimmed the report last year and didn’t catch all those problems. I want you to go through it with a fine-tooth comb.</div>

(そうだけど、あれは去年そのレポートを軽く目を通しただけの同じ部門長だよ。その結果、すべての問題が指摘されなかったんだ。あなたによく確認してほしいんだよ)</div>

1,152 - Collecting Debt</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
If someone owes you money, how do you get them to pay you back? Find out what happens if they don’t pay you in this episode. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(もし誰かがあなたにお金を貸す場合、どのようにあなたが貸金を回収するでしょうか?このエピソードでは、もし彼らがあなたに支払わない場合、何が起こるか見てみましょう)</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
to collect debt: to get money back from someone who doesn't want to pay you back or perhaps is slow in paying you back</div>
<div dir="ltr">
owe: to be expected and, in fact, require to pay someone to something or do something for someone else</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Ken: Look at this list of customers who still owe us money. How is this business supposed to survive if we keep extending credit?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(この未回収の顧客リストを見てよ。もし我々が返金を伸ばし続けたら、このビジネスをどうやって続けるというの?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
to extend credit: to allow someone by something now and pay for later</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Marjorie: We started doing it because some of our best customers didn’t have ready cash. They’re good for it. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(我々の上客の一部は現金を準備できていないから、我々は返金期限を伸ばし始めたところだよ。彼らは信用できるよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
to be good for it: to be trustworthy, or to be reliable</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Ken: I know they’ll eventually pay their outstanding debt, but what are we supposed to do in the meantime? We need that cash to buy stock. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(彼らは最終的に未済借金を支払うことはわかっているけど、その間どうすればいいっていうの?我々は商品のストックを買うためにその現金が必要なんだよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
outstanding debt: money that hasn't been payed on time</div>
<div dir="ltr">
in the meantime: while we are waiting for the people pay us back</div>
<div dir="ltr">
stock: the things the store buys</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Marjorie: We can call in the debt and set a deadline for repayment. We can give those who are really hard up an extension on a case-by-case basis. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(我々は返済期限を決めて、返済を要求することはできるよ。我々はケースバイケースを基本として本当に返済が難しい方々に延長を与えることをしているよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
to call in a debt: to demand that person who owes money pay you immediately, as soon as possible</div>
<div dir="ltr">
hard up: in difficult situation, especially financial situation</div>
<div dir="ltr">
case-by-case basis: looking at the details each person or each situation making decision on that information, not on just rule for everyone</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Ken: What if they still don’t pay? We’d have to turn it over to a collection agency. We’d only get 40 cents on the dollar, but we’ll have to close our doors if we don’t collect. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(もし彼らがそれでも支払わなかったらどうする?我々は回収代行業者に引き渡さなければならなくなる。回収した金額の40%しか得られなくなるが、もし回収できなければ廃業するしかなくなる)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
to close your doors: to close your business, or to go out business</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Marjorie: Using a collection agency would be a last resort. I’ll call each of our major debtors and have a talk with them. I’m sure they’ll come through. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(代行業者を使うことは最後の選択肢だよ。我々の主要な貸付先それぞれに連絡して、彼らと話を持つよ。彼らは最終的には約束は守ると確信しているよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
a last resort: a choise or an option that is the least favorable, one that you least want to do</div>
<div dir="ltr">
debtors: people who owe money</div>
<div dir="ltr">
to come through: to eventually do what you promise to do</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Ken: I hope you’re right or we will be the ones asking for credit! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(あなたが正しいと願うよ。そうでないと我々もお金を借りに尋ねる人の仲間入りしてしまうからね)</div>

1,151 - Working as a Street Performer</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Come to Hollywood and be a star performing on one of our lovely streets! Find out how in this episode. <br />
(ハロウィンに行って大好きな通りのひとつでパフォーマンスするスターになろう。このエピソードではどうやってそうなるかみてみましょう)</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />Giancarlo: Whoa, where are you going? I thought we were going to hang out.<br />
<div dir="ltr">
(どこいくの?一緒に出かけると思ってたよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Alana: I’m going to work. <br />
(仕事に行くんだよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Giancarlo: Work? I didn’t know you got a job. <br />
(仕事?仕事してたなんて知らなかったよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Alana: I’m busking on Main Street. <br />
(メインストリートで大道芸しているよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Giancarlo: You mean you’re panhandling? That’s not working. <br />
(つまり、物乞いしてるってこと?それは仕事じゃないよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Alana: I’m not panhandling. I’m working for tips. I perform, try to draw a crowd, and then pass the hat. <br />
(物乞いなんてしてないよ。チップをもらうために働いているの。パフォーマンスをして、人だかりを作って、それで帽子を回しているんだよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Giancarlo: Can you really make money that way? <br />
(それで本当にお金になるのかい?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Alana: You’d be surprised. I got the idea from Danielle and her friends. A group of them do street theater and comedy routines. A friend of theirs juggles and does acrobatics. Another guy does magic tricks. <br />
(驚くだろうけど、ダニエルと彼女の友だちからアイデアをもらったの。彼女らの一部はストリートシアターとコメディの演劇をするの。他の人たちは手品をするんだよ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Giancarlo: And they do all this on the street? Don’t they get hassled by the cops?<br />
(彼女らはすべてストリート上でやるのかい?警察を刺激しないの?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Alana: The cops occasionally tell them to move along or tell the crowd to disperse, but if they’re respectful and nobody complains, they get left alone. Hey wait, where are you going? <br />
(場所によっては別の場所へ行くことや、人集りを散らばらせるように言うこともあるけど、彼らは尊敬できるし、だれも不平は言わないよ。それにひとりを置き去りにすることもないよ。ちょっと待って、どこいくの?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Giancarlo: I’m going with you. I want to give this street performing a try. <br />
(一緒に行くよ。このストリートフォーマンスでやってみたいんだ)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Alana: What can you do? <br />
(なにができるの?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">

①でやったこと<br />
夏休みを利用してフィリピンの英語学校に1週間留学<br />
感想<br />
英語をしゃべることに対する抵抗が多少なくなったかなという感覚でしたが、根本解決にはならない。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
①②でやったこと<br />
ESLPodcastでシャドウイング<br />
感想<br />
リスニング力は確実に上がります。<br />
ただし、どんな単語を言っているかはわかるのに、なにを言っているのかわからない状況がほとんど。結局ボキャブラリーと文法、それを瞬時に理解する能力が足りないという状況に陥りました。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
③でやったこと<br />
TOEICの公式問題集で模擬試験をしてから答え合わせの際に熟読し、わからない単語は英英辞書で調べてAnkiDroidというアプリに元のセンテンスとわからない単語、その意味、例文を登録していき、アプリを通じて単語勉強をする<br />
感想<br />
ボキャブラリーと速読に関しては間違いなく力が延びたと思います。<br />
2ヶ月間でできたのはVol.5と6だけでしたが、それでも結果的に点数が100点以上伸びました。<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
結局のところ、この期間が一番マジメに勉強したのですが、勉強しなければ出来ようになることはないと実感しました。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
今は、860点目指して文法からやり直しながら勉強をしています。<br />
また860点を越えたら報告します。</div>
<br />
<br />

If you sign a legal agreement, there are consequences for not doing what you promise. Find out more in this episode. <br />

<div dir="ltr">
Sandra: I don’t know what to do. Our contractor installed the wrong equipment and now we’re having major problems. I’ve tried contacting her, but she’s dodging my calls. The trouble is I’ve already paid her in full. <br />
(どうすればいいんでしょう。受託業者が間違った装置を設置してしまったせいで、今重大な問題を抱えています。彼女に連絡しようとしたんだけど、私の電話にでないんです。問題はすでに全額支払っていることなんです。)</div>

<div dir="ltr">

(それはしたくないです。むしろ法廷の外で解決したいです。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Antonin: I don’t blame you, but if she’s hiding out or has washed her hands of this whole situation, suing her might be the only way to compel her to fix the problem. <br />
(責めはしないけど、彼女が身を隠すか、この状況の責任から引いていたら、法廷に連れてくることがこの問題を解決するために彼女を責める唯一の方法ですよ。)</div>

<div dir="ltr">
Looking to kick the habit of smoking? Find out all the ways not to do it in this episode.<br />
(喫煙の習慣を止める予定はありますか?このエピソードではそれをしないためのすべての方法について見いだしましょう。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lisa: This is it. I’m quitting smoking for good. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(さあいよいよだ。ずっと禁煙をしていんだ。)<br />
for good: forever, permanently, from now on </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Michael: Good for you. Are you going cold turkey? <br />
(おめでとう。急にやめるつもりなの?)<br />
good for you: congratulating someone</div>
<div dir="ltr">
go cold turkey: to quit something immediately, stop doing some sort of bad habit like smoking immediately</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lisa: No, I tried that, but it didn’t work. I craved cigarettes too much. <br />
(いいや、やめようとしたんだけどだめだった。すごくタバコがほしくなったよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
crave: to have a very strong desire to eat it, drink it, have it</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Michael: How about nicotine gum? Have you tried that? <br />
(ニコチンガムはどう?試した?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lisa: Yes, but I didn’t like the side effects. It irritated my throat. <br />
(やったよ。でも副作用が好きじゃなかったんだよね。のどを痛めたんだよ。)<br />
irritate: cause a part of body to become scratch, red or uncomfortable</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Michael: That’s too bad. I suppose you’ve tried nicotine patches, too? <br />
(それはひどいね。ニコチンパッチも試した?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lisa: Yes, I have. I became addicted to the patches and couldn’t wean myself off of them. I just traded one addiction for another. <br />
(うん、やったよ。パッチ依存になって、その依存体質から抜けられなかったんだ。それでパッチから他の依存物に変えたんだよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
become addicted: to have a strong desire or need for particular substances or even experiences</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Michael: And electronic cigarettes? <br />
(電子たばこは?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lisa: They only made me want to smoke a real cigarette. They were no help at all. <br />
(あれはただ本物のたばこを吸いたくさせるだけだったよ。全く役に立たなかったね。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Michael: So, what now? <br />
(それで、今はなにを?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lisa: I’m going to try hypnosis. I hear that it works for some people. <br />
(催眠療法を試そうと思ってる。ある人には効果があるって聞いているわ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Michael: And if that doesn’t work? <br />
(もし、効果がなかったら?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lisa: The last resort is acupuncture. Some people say that’s effective for quitting smoking. <br />
(最後の選択肢は、鍼治療だよ。禁煙に効果があるって言う人がいるのよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
last option for action</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Michael: If you say so. Sometimes the cure is truly worse than the disease! <br />
(そうはいうけど、治療は本当に病気より悪いこともあるよ。)</div>

1,118 - Bidding on Online Auctions</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Get a good deal on an online auction. Learn more in this episode.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(オークションでは良い取引をしましょう。このエピソードでもう少し学びましょう。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Jermaine: Wait! You shouldn’t bid on that auction right now. Wait until the last minute. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(待って、そのオークションに今すぐ落札するべきではないよ。最後の1分まで待ちなよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Bethany: This auction has a buy-it-now price of $25 and free shipping. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(このオークションは$25で今すぐ買えるし、送料も無料だよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Jermaine: Don’t pay the buy-it-now price. The minimum bid on this item is $10 and the current bid is only $12.50. There’s no reserve, so if you wait to bid, you may snag it for a much lower price than $25. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
("今すぐ買える"価格を払うべきじゃないよ。この商品の最小入札価格は$10だし、今の価格はたった$12.50だよ。予約はないけど、もし落札を待てば、$25より安い価格でそれを変えるかもしれない。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Bethany: Okay, I guess I can wait, but why can’t I place a bid of $15 right now? </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(わかった、たぶん待てるよ。だけどどうして今すぐ$15で入札できないの?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Jermaine: First of all, the bidding on this auction goes up by increments of 50-cents, so the next bid would be $13.00. You could place a maximum bid of $15.00, but someone might outbid you at any time.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(まずはじめに、このオークションの入札は50セントずつ増加していくんだ、そうなると次の入札価格は$13だね。もし、あなたが出せる金額が$15だとして、その金額で入札してしまうと、誰かがいつでもあなたの金額よりも高い金額で入札できしてまうでしょう。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Bethany: But couldn’t that happen anyway? Even if I wait until the last minute someone could sneak in and bid a higher price.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(でも、そうならないかもしれないよね?たとえ、最後まで待ったとしても、誰かが人知れず高い金額で入札するかもしれないよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Jermaine: You mean they could snipe you? They could, but not if you snipe them back. It’s all in the timing. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(つまり、彼らがあなたより高い価格で直前に入札するかもしれないと言っているの?それはありえるけど、あなたがそれをし返せばそれはできないよ。結局、すべてタイミングだよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Bethany: You seem to know a lot about online auctions. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(オンラインオークションに詳しいみたいだね。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Jermaine: That item you’re bidding on, guess who listed it? </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(あなたが入札しているアイテム、誰が出品していると思う?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
[Vocabulary]</div>
<div dir="ltr">
to bit: to say how much you are willing to pay for something</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">
to outbid: to bid more than you and ultimately gets the item</div>
<div dir="ltr">
to sneak in: to do something secretly</div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">
to snipe: to get the highest bit immediately before the auction ends, sometimes just seconds before the auction ends</div>

1,117 - Assembling Furniture</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Like putting together toys for your children, putting together furniture can be a painful experience. Learn more in this episode. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(子どもたちのためのおもちゃを組み立てる様に、家具を組み立てることはつらい思い出になり得ます。このエピソードでもう少し詳しく学んでみましょう。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Armand: Did you know that this nightstand required assembly when you bought it? <br />
(このベッドテーブルってきみが買ったときに組み立てが必要だったかわかる?)<br />
<br />
Suzanne: The box said that it required simple assembly. I guess what’s simple to them isn’t simple to us. <br />
(簡単な組み立てが必要って箱に書いてあったよ。ただ、推測するに、彼らの簡単は私たちにとって簡単じゃないわ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Armand: You can say that again. These instructions aren’t in English, there are no diagrams showing how the parts fit together, and we seem to be missing parts. I also question the quality. It’s mainly made of particleboard and plywood. Do you think we should return it?<br />
(もう一度それを言うことになりそうだよ。これらの説明なんだけど、英語で書いてないし、どうやって部品を組み合わせるかの図もないし、部品もなくしそうだよ。それに品質についても疑問だ。ほとんどがパーティクルボードと合板で出来てるんだ。返品すべきかな?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Suzanne: No, let’s just keep it and do the best we can. <br />
(いや、残しておいて、最善を尽くしましょう。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Armand: That’s hard to do when there seems to be a design flaw with the drawers. The pieces don’t fit together as they should. These nails are also bent and these screws look defective. <br />
(それは難しいよ、引き出しに構造的欠陥がありそうだ。説明のとおりに部品同士が合わないよ。これらのツメも曲がっているし、これらのネジも足りなさそうだ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Suzanne: It’s not looking good, is it? I also bought this because I thought everything could be assembled using Allen wrenches, but it looks like we’ll actually need a hammer, screwdriver, and maybe a drill. <br />
(それは良くないってことね?六角レンチで全部組み立てられるかと思ってこれも買ったんだけど、どうやら実際にはハンマーとドライバーとたぶんドリルも必要になりそうね。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Armand: Well, let’s see what we can do. If we don’t have the right tools or parts, I have a solution. <br />
(うーん、何ができるのか考えようか。もし正しい道具や部品がなければ、解決できなさそうだ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">

Suzanne: What? <br />

1,116 - Reading and Processing Emails<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
<br />
Modern life requires email for most of us. Learn how one person deals with it all in this episode. <br />
(現代社会においてはほとんどの人がEメールが必要です。このエピソードではどのようにメールを扱っているかを学びます。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Every day I feel more and more overwhelmed by email. Once I turn on my computer and look at my inbox, I get sucked into reading and responding to emails. <br />
(毎日ますますEメールの処理が大きくなっているが気がする。一度、パソコンの電源を入れて、メールボックスを開くと、メールを読んで返信に時間を費やしてしまう。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I have a personal email account and an email account for work. With my work email, I try to take an organized approach. I scan each email looking at the sender and subject line, and delete the ones I don’t need or want. With the remaining ones, I archive some, file others for future reading, and write replies to the rest. I’ve set up templates for the routine emails, but spend a lot of time drafting personalized responses to the rest. That takes up a large part of my workday. <br />
(私はプライベート用と仕事用のメールアカウントを持っています。仕事用のメールでは、体系的に処理しようとしています。各メールの送信者と題目をさっと確認して不要な物は削除します。リマインドが必要なものはアーカイブして、将来見るものとして他とは分けて保存し、残りは返信を書きます。決まった形式のメールに対しては雛形を用意してありますが、残りは個別の返信を下書きするのに多くの時間を要します。それが私の業務時間の多くを消費します。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
When reading my personal email, I take my time. Yes, I get the usual junk that slips through the spam filters and get newsletters I keep meaning to unsubscribe from, but people who have my personal email address are mainly friends and family. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">プライベート用のメールを読んでいる時、自分の時間を消費します。でも、頻繁にスパムフィルターを通過してものや、購読解除していないままのニュースレターなどのジャンクメールを受信します。ただほとんどは私のプライベート用のアドレスを知っている友人や家族からのものです。)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
When I’m done and I look at the clock, I’m often surprised at how much time I’ve spent processing email. That’s time I could have been spending working on my Celine Dion impression. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
“Near, far, wherever you are <br />
I believe that the heart does go on…” </div>
<div dir="ltr">
(これらの作業を終えて、時計を見てみると、メールの処理に割いていた時間に驚くことがあります。まるで私が歌うセリーヌディオンとともに過ごす時間のようなです。)</div>

(実際のところ、野生で捕らえられたものや家畜場から今朝届けられたんです。骨付き、骨無し、まるまる一匹でもありますよ。自分の牧場や、自らショットガンを使って狩ってくるのと同じくらい新鮮です。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Samantha: Uh, that’s great. I see that you sell marinated and stuffed meats, too. <br />
(うーん、すばらしいわね。加工肉や詰め物もあるかしら。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Butcher: Yes, we do. We even make our own sausages. We use only the freshest ingredients. They’re so fresh I wouldn’t be surprised if they got up and walked across the floor. <br />
(もちろん。自家製ソーセージも作ってますよ。新鮮な食材だけを使ってますよ。新鮮すぎて起き上がって地面を歩き回っても驚かないくらいです。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Samantha: Right. I think I’ll just take the chops for now. <br />
(えぇ。今回はチョップだけいただくことにするわ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Butcher: Are you sure? I can show you some of the best prime cuts of beef you’ll ever see. They’re so fresh you could… <br />
(本当ですか?見たことのないような最高品質の牛肉もお見せできますよ。それらも非常に新鮮で、お客さんも…。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Samantha: No, no, that’s all for now. I suddenly feel like a salad for dinner instead. <br />
(いやいや、今回は以上でいいわ。唐突に夕食は替わりにサラダにしたい気分になっていたの。)</div>

1,114 - Forms of Government<br />
(政府の形態)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Plutocracy is the rule of the rich. Find out about other forms of government in this episode. <br />
(金権政治は富裕層による制度です。このエピソードでは、そのほかの政府の形態を見いだします。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Margaret: Okay, the teacher said that we should set up an ideal form of government for our imaginary country and then work out detailed plans for governance. <br />
(じゃあ、先生が言ってた通り、架空の国を想定して理想的な政治形態を創って、政治の詳細なプランを練りましょう。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Tony: I think the simplest is a dictatorship. I’ll make all of the decisions. (一番シンプルなのは独裁政治だよ。全部俺が決めるよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Margaret: You’re sounding like a fascist. This is supposed to be a partnership, remember? <br />
(なんだか、ファシズム支持者みたいね。協力することになってるの覚えてる?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Tony: Okay then, let’s make it a monarchy. I can be king and you can be queen. <br />
(じゃあ、君主制にしよう。俺が王様で、君は女王になれるよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Margaret: You’ll probably still make all of the decisions as king. Maybe we should consider an oligarchy. Your family and mine can rule equally. <br />
(まだ王様として、全部決めたいようね。たぶん、寡頭政治を検討すべきよ。あなたの家族もわたしのも平等に統治できるわよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Tony: That’s fine with me, but you’re the communist, or at least socialist. Don’t you think an oligarchy would be too elitist? I would think you would prefer a meritocracy of some sort. <br />
(それはよいね。でも君は共産主義者だね。少なくとも社会主義者だね。寡頭政治が最も良いと考えすぎじゃないかい?能力主義のようなようが君には合っているんじゃないかな?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Margaret: This isn’t about my personal politics. It’s about what’s best for our imaginary nation. How about a simple democracy? <br />
(それはわたしの主義じゃないわ。なにが私たちの仮想国家にとって一番いいかについてよ。シンプルな民主主義はどうかしら?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Tony: There’s nothing simple about a democracy. How about no government at all? <br />
(民主主義はシンプルじゃないよ。全く政府を持たないって言うのはどうだい?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Margaret: You mean anarchy? <br />
(つまり、無政府状態ってこと?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Tony: Sure, that would be the simplest. <br />
(もちろんさ。最もシンプルなんじゃないかな?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Margaret: Why do I get the feeling that you’re making suggestions based on the amount of work this assignment will take, rather than political considerations? <br />
(なんだか今週出る宿題の量に応じて提案してるんじゃない?まじめな検討じゃなく。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Tony: That’s because you’re very perceptive. I have a big weekend planned! <br />
(それは君の察しがいいからだよ。週末にいっぱい予定があるんだよ。)</div>

1,113 - Having a Family Portrait Taken</div>
<div dir="ltr">
(家族写真を撮る)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Let’s get our picture taken for the family photograph that everyone will laugh at in 10 years. <br />
(みんなが10年間笑える家族写真を取りましょう)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Dad: Okay, everybody, take your places. <br />
(よし、みんな、位置に着いて。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Mom: We’re in our places. Can’t the photographer just take the photo? <br />
(着いたわよ。カメラマンさんはまだ撮れないって?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Dad: We have to pose. The whole point is to look natural. <br />
(ポーズを取らないと。大事なことは自然体だよ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Mom: If you wanted a natural family photo, why are we in a portrait studio in the middle of a sitting? <br />
(自然体の家族写真を撮りたいなら、なんで写真館にいるの?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Dad: I want us to stand in front of a nice background and pose with nice props. I’m tired of looking at the photos that we take. They’re not very good and require hours of touching up or creative cropping. <br />
(素晴らしい背景、ポーズ、撮影備品の前に立っていたいじゃないか。自分たちでとる写真にあきてきたんだよ。あんまり良く撮れないし、修正や切り取りに何時間もかかってしまうからね。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Mom: Instead, we’re supposed to look natural wearing color-coordinated clothing and standing in unlikely poses. <br />
(替わりに一張羅を着て、不自然なポーズをとらないといけないのね。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Dad: Don’t be like that. Generations to come will cherish this family photo. <br />
(そうなるなって。この写真が大事になる時代が来るって。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Mom: I doubt it. <br />
(疑わしいわ。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Dad: How about if I ask the photographer to take some shots just of you? <br />
(お前だけのショットをカメラマンさん頼むっていうのはどうだ?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Mom: You mean like the headshots Hollywood stars get? <br />
(つまり、ハリウッドスターが撮るような写真を撮ってくれるってこと?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Dad: Uh, sure, if that’s what you’d want. <br />
(あぁ、もちろんさ。おまえが望むならな。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Mom: Well, in that case, I’ll need to have my hair cut, get my make-up done, and buy a new outfit… <br />
(うーん、その場合、ヘアカットに、メイクアップに、新しい</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Dad: What have I gotten myself into?! <br />
(これは墓穴をほったな。)</div>
