M: Happy New Year, Yuka! W: Happy New Year, Peter! M: So, where did you celebrate New Year's Eve, Yuka? W: Where? At my parent’s home, of course. Where else? M: Didn‘t you go out with friends? W: Um… No, why should I? M: In Germany, I always go out with friends for New Year's Eve. We watch the film "Dinner for One", eat raclette, and get plastered! Ha ha. At midnight, we do some fireworks. You don’t do that? W: Not really. Japanese spend New Year’s with their families. We watch a singing contest on TV, and eat buckwheat noodles. At midnight, the bells of Buddhist temples ring 108 times. A lot of people go to temples that night to pray. If they don’t go on New Year’s Eve, they go the next day, or soon afterwards. M: I see. What kind of food do they eat on New Year’s in Japan? W: We try to eat food that should bring good luck. Nowadays, you can buy this food in the supermarket, but my mom prepares it in advance with my grandma. And we children get money as a present! M: Oh! That’s very different from in Germany! I used to eat together with my family on New Year's Eve. But New Year’s food in Germany has no special meaning. Now on New Year’s Day, I just wanna rest from my hangover! Ha ha! Hey, you don’t shoot off fireworks on New Year’s? W: No… The time for fireworks is more in the summer. M: Oh. In Germany, we can only do that on New Year's Eve, because otherwise it’s basically against the law. W: Against the law in summer? Too bad! Setting off fireworks is a blast! M: Yeah, Except for New Year’s, when you want to do it in Germany, you usually need official permission. W: So, what did you do this New Year’s? M: I watched movies and drank with other foreign students. W: So, you did it like in Germany, except for the fireworks? M: Yeah. But I’d also like to do New Year’s the Japanese way!

この8月で、Hiroshima University's English Podcastは満5周年を迎えました。これまでのリスナーの皆様からのご支援への感謝の気持ちをこめて、今月はこの5年間に配信した177本の「やさしい英語会話」の傑作選をお届けします。なお、来月はスペシャルドラマをお届けしますので、こちらもお楽しみに！ まず今週は、夏の納涼企画としてこわーいお話を。2008年のハロウィンの時期にお届けした幽霊屋敷（a haunted house）のお話です。 舞台はアメリカ・ニューオーリンズ。とある一軒の屋敷に「売家」の札が出ていた。そこは19世紀に実在したマダム・ラローリー（Madam Lalaurie）の館だった！館の老人は、訪れた客人に、ここで起こった世にも恐ろしい事件の数々を語り始めます・・・。 今回お借りした素材 写真：Wikimedia Commons Download MP3 （25:37 　23.6MB　初級～中級） ※今月の傑作選は特別編のため、通常の配信よりも音質を若干向上させています。これに伴い、ファイルサイズが大きめになっています。どうかご了承ください。*** Script *** (Slow speed) 04:50-08:30 (Natural speed) 20:20-23:20 Woman: It's a dark, quiet night in an old neighborhood in New Orleans, in the southern part of the United States. A 3-story, spooky-looking house has a "For Sale" sign outside. The sound of a sad dog barking can be heard in the distance. Bats fly through the air. A young couple knocks on the door. An old man wearing a dark coat opens the door. (Sound of creaking door.) Old Man: Yes? Woman: Hi, um, we heard this house is for sale? Old Man: It is. Come this way. (They step in. The creaking door closes behind them.) Old Man: Now, are you sure you want to buy this place? You know about Madam Lalaurie, don't you? Woman: Madam Lalaurie? Who is that? Old Man: Ha, ha, ha! You mean, who WAS that. Ah, I see that you have not heard? Let me tell you. Woman: Please, please do. Old Man: Now remember: This is a very TRUE story. Way back in 1832, Dr. Louis Lalaurie, his wife, and three daughters moved into this lovely mansion. Madame Lalaurie was beautiful and hosted gorgeous parties. But few people knew how cruel, cold-blooded, and crazy she actually was! Woman: Cruel and cold-blooded? Old Man: Ha, ha, ha. She was cruel to the slaves who worked there. The cook was chained to the fireplace in the kitchen. Sometimes slaves disappeared! One day a neighbor saw Madame chasing a little girl while whipping her! She chased the girl onto the roof, where the girl jumped to her death! Woman: How awful! Old Man: Then, two years later a fire broke out in the kitchen. Possibly the fire was set by the cook who could not endure the situation anymore. The house was partly destroyed. Firefighters found more than a dozen slaves, male and female, chained in the attic. Some were in cages made for dogs. There were human body parts scattered around! Woman: Ah! Old Man: The people in New Orleans were very angry. A mob gathered outside the house, calling for revenge! Suddenly, a carriage roared away from the house, and the family was never seen again. Later, people moved into the house, but they were haunted by strange noises, cries, and groans! Ghosts have been seen walking on balconies and in yards! Woman: You meanﾉ you meanﾉ this house is haunted? Old Man: Ha, ha ha!

M: On the other hand, I seem to recall having very important business to attend to. W: Oh, come on! A computer nerd in the modern age is like a tribal voodoo doctor from old times. You can get us pesky mortals out of computer troubles with your techno magic! (sexy voice) Michihiro, you have power! You are so cool... M: Hmm... OK, I suppose I'll help out this particular pesky mortal, after all! W: Great. See you at the library! M: [ at the library ] Wow, I'd say that's way too heavy. You've probably forgotten your password because you have to carry around this giant of a laptop all day long. Fatigue, memory loss... W: On the positive side, it keeps me fit! M: OK, what do we have here... User "Fishes" with a password hint "human being." Hmm... not much. W: Those hints are useless, unless they contain your password in a more or less obvious form, which kinda destroys the purpose of having a password in the first place! M: You're 100% right. Now quit grumping and look here. I'm going to use a Windows DVD to enter Recovery Shell by pressing "Shift+F10" and mess around with some files... Next, I restart... Now, I press "Shift" five times... type this... and that... there we go! Hmm... new password for user "Fishes" is... "mermaid". Which is undoubtedly a fish, as well as a human being! W: Thank you, Michihiro! You are incredible! (Written by Dmitry Mamchur)

M: On the other hand, I seem to recall having very important business to attend to. W: Oh, come on! A computer nerd in the modern age is like a tribal voodoo doctor from old times. You can get us pesky mortals out of computer troubles with your techno magic! (sexy voice) Michihiro, you have power! You are so cool... M: Hmm... OK, I suppose I'll help out this particular pesky mortal, after all! W: Great. See you at the library! M: [ at the library ] Wow, I'd say that's way too heavy. You've probably forgotten your password because you have to carry around this giant of a laptop all day long. Fatigue, memory loss... W: On the positive side, it keeps me fit! M: OK, what do we have here... User "Fishes" with a password hint "human being." Hmm... not much. W: Those hints are useless, unless they contain your password in a more or less obvious form, which kinda destroys the purpose of having a password in the first place! M: You're 100% right. Now quit grumping and look here. I'm going to use a Windows DVD to enter Recovery Shell by pressing "Shift+F10" and mess around with some files... Next, I restart... Now, I press "Shift" five times... type this... and that... there we go! Hmm... new password for user "Fishes" is... "mermaid". Which is undoubtedly a fish, as well as a human being! W: Thank you, Michihiro! You are incredible! (Written by Dmitry Mamchur)

W: What's a white lie? M: A white lie is a lie that doesn't really hurt anybody. For example, if your boyfriend buys a new shirt and you don't really like it. He asks you what you think about it. How do you answer? W: I'd answer that it looks fine. M: See! That's a white lie. You don't think it's nice but you tell him it is. W: I got it. M: Another example is Santa Clause. The whole idea of a fat guy in a red suit, going around the world in a flying sleigh pulled by reindeer, sliding down chimneys with toys… The story doesn't harm anyone. It's a cute lie! W: Excuse me! Santa Clause is NOT a lie. He really exists! M: Ha! You're a dreamer. I'm a person who believes in science. So I'm not going to believe that. W: He IS real. I saw him when I was little. Didn't your parents tell you that Santa Clause only comes to children who really believe in him? M: Rika, grow up. You're an adult and still believe in Santa Clause? It's just a white lie. W: No, it's true! Have you ever read the article "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause"? A lot of things that we cannot see exist! Also I'm grown up, but I want to be childlike forever. I don't want to lose my dreams and hopes. M: OK. That's one idea. I'm different from you. W: Yes, maybe so. (Sounds of Christmas bells jingling) W: Hey, you hear that? M: What?

本年もHiroshima University's English Podcastをよろしくお願い申し上げます。 毎月第１週は「ドラマで英語を学ぼう」をお届けします。2012年最初にお届けするのは、ウィリアム・シェイクスピア（William Shakespeare, 1564-1616）作の『ロミオとジュリエット』（Romeo and Juliet）の第２回です。19世紀にラム姉弟（Charles & Mary Lamb）によってやさしく書き直された『シェイクスピア物語』のバージョンでお楽しみいただきます。 前回（12/6）配信した第１回では、ロミオとジュリエットが仮面舞踏会で出会い恋に落ちます。夜更けにキャピュレット家に忍び込んだロミオの存在に気付かないまま、ジュリエットはバルコニーであの有名なセリフ「おお、ロミオ、ロミオ、どうしてあなたはロミオなの」（"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?"）を呟きます。 今回のエピソードの前半ではバルコニーでの二人の愛の行方が描かれ、後半ではモンタギュー家とキャピュレット家の対立が引き金となって物語の展開が加速します。やや長めの分量となりますが、注とスクリプトを参考にしながら、ぜひチャレンジしてみてください。 今回お借りした素材 画像（Ford Madox Brown作"Romeo and Juliet"）：Wikipedia BGM1（チャイコフスキー「ロメオとジュリエット」）：パブリックドメイン・クラシック BGM2（プロコフィエフ「ロメオとジュリエット」より「モンタギュー家とキャピュレット家」）：アキラの音楽空間 Download MP3 （23:58　13.9MB　中級〜上級）Romeo and Juliet: Part 2 Written by Charles and Mary Lamb Based on William Shakespeare’s story Characters: Romeo Montague Juliet Capulet Lord Capulet = Juliet’s father Rosaline = Romeo’s first girlfriend Benvolio = Romeo’s friend Mercutio = Romeo’s friend Tybalt = a Capulet who hates Romeo and the Montagues Friar Lawrence = a local religious leader Lady Capulet = Juliet’s mother Lady Montague = Romeo’s mother Count Paris = Juliet’s new fiance Key Words (Note: If it says “old”, it means “rarely used in modern English.”) fain = willingly, happily (old) to chide = to express disapproval or scold to refrain = to hold oneself back, 遠慮する merely = just in fancy =（気まぐれな）好み, 愛好 bade = requested (old meaning).

********** Text ********** Part 2 Romeo, having this encouragement, would fain have spoken, but he was desirous of hearing more; and the lady continued her passionate discourse with herself (as she thought), still chiding Romeo for being Romeo and a Montague, and wishing him some other name, or that he would put away that hated name, and for that name which was no part of himself he should take all herself. At this loving word Romeo could no longer refrain, but, taking up the dialogue as if her words had been addressed to him personally, and not merely in fancy, he bade her call him Love, or by whatever other name she pleased, for he was no longer Romeo, if that name was displeasing to her. Juliet, alarmed to hear a man's voice in the garden, did not at first know who it was that by favor of the night and darkness had thus stumbled upon the discovery of her secret; but when he spoke again, though her ears had not yet drunk a hundred words of that tongue's uttering, yet so nice is a lover's hearing that she immediately knew him to be young Romeo, and she expostulated with him on the danger to which he had exposed himself by climbing the orchard walls, for if any of her kinsmen should find him there it would be death to him, being a Montague. "Alack!" said Romeo, "there is more peril in your eye than in twenty of their swords. Do you but look kind upon me, lady, and I am proof against their enmity. Better my life should be ended by their hate than that hated life should be prolonged to live without your love." "How came you into this place," said Juliet, "and by whose direction?" "Love directed me," answered Romeo. "I am no pilot, yet 'wert thou as far apart from me as that vast shore which is washed with the farthest sea, I should venture for such merchandise." A crimson blush came over Juliet's face, yet unseen by Romeo by reason of the night, when she reflected upon the discovery which she had made, yet not meaning to make it, of her love to Romeo. She would fain have recalled her words, but that was impossible; fain would she have stood upon form, and have kept her lover at a distance, as the custom of discreet ladies is, to frown and be perverse and give their suitors harsh denials at first; to stand off, and affect a coyness or indifference where they most love, that their lovers may not think them too lightly or too easily won; for the difficulty of attainment increases the value of the object. But there was no room in her case for denials, or puttings off, or any of the customary arts of delay and protracted courtship. Romeo had heard from her own tongue, when she did not dream that he was near her, a confession of her love. So with an honest frankness which the novelty of her situation excused, she confirmed the truth of what he had before heard, and, addressing him by the name of Fair Montague (love can sweeten a sour name), she begged him not to impute her easy yielding to levity or an unworthy mind, but that he must lay the fault of it (if it were a fault) upon the accident of the night which had so strangely discovered her thoughts. And she added, that though her behavior to him might not be sufficiently prudent, measured by the custom of her sex, yet that she would prove more true than many whose prudence was dissembling, and their modesty artificial cunning. Romeo was beginning to call the heavens to witness that nothing was farther from his thoughts than to impute a shadow of dishonor to such an honored lady, when she stopped him, begging him not to swear; for although she joyed in him, yet she had no joy of that night's contract--it was too rash, too unadvised, too sudden. But he being urgent with her to exchange a vow of love with him that night, she said that she already had given him hers before he requested it, meaning, when he overheard her confession; but she would retract what she then bestowed, for the pleasure of giving it again, for her bounty was as infinite as the sea, and her love as deep. From this loving conference she was called away by her nurse, who slept with her and thought it time for her to be in bed, for it was near to daybreak; but, hastily returning, she said three or four words more to Romeo the purport of which was, that if his love was indeed honorable, and his purpose marriage, she would send a messenger to him to-morrow to appoint a time for their marriage, when she would lay all her fortunes at his feet and follow him as her lord through the world. While they were settling this point Juliet was repeatedly called for by her nurse, and went in and returned, and went and returned again, for she seemed as jealous of Romeo going from her as a young girl of her bird, which she will let hop a little from her hand and pluck it back with a silken thread; and Romeo was as loath to part as she, for the sweetest music to lovers is the sound of each other's tongues at night. But at last they parted, wishing mutually sweet sleep and rest for that night. The day was breaking when they parted, and Romeo, who was too full of thoughts of his mistress and that blessed meeting to allow him to sleep, instead of going home, bent his course to a monastery hard by, to find Friar Lawrence. The good friar was already up at his devotions, but, seeing young Romeo abroad so early, he conjectured rightly that he had not been abed that night, but that some distemper of youthful affection had kept him waking. He was right in imputing the cause of Romeo's wakefulness to love, but he made a wrong guess at the object, for he thought that his love for Rosaline had kept him waking. But when Romeo revealed his new passion for Juliet, and requested the assistance of the friar to marry them that day, the holy man lifted up his eyes and hands in a sort of wonder at the sudden change in Romeo's affections, for he had been privy to all Romeo's love for Rosaline and his many complaints of her disdain; and he said that young men's love lay not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. But Romeo replying that he himself had often chidden him for doting on Rosaline, who could not love him again, whereas Juliet both loved and was beloved by him, the friar assented in some measure to his reasons; and thinking that a matrimonial alliance between young Juliet and Romeo might happily be the means of making up the long breach between the Capulets and the Montagues, which no one more lamented than this good friar who was a friend to both the families and had often interposed his mediation to make up the quarrel without effect; partly moved by policy, and partly by his fondness for young Romeo, to whom he could deny nothing, the old man consented to join their hands in marriage. Now was Romeo blessed indeed, and Juliet, who knew his intent from a messenger which she had dispatched according to promise, did not fail to be early at the cell of Friar Lawrence, where their hands were joined in holy marriage, the good friar praying the heavens to smile upon that act, and in the union of this young Montague and young Capulet, to bury the old strife and long dissensions of their families. The ceremony being over, Juliet hastened home, where she stayed, impatient for the coming of night, at which time Romeo promised to come and meet her in the orchard, where they had met the night before; and the time between seemed as tedious to her as the night before some great festival seems to an impatient child that has got new finery which it may not put on till the morning. That same day, about noon, Romeo's friends, Benvolio and Mercutio, walking through the streets of Verona, were met by a party of the Capulets with the impetuous Tybalt at their head. This was the same angry Tybalt who would have fought with Romeo at old Lord Capulet's feast. He, seeing Mercutio, accused him bluntly of associating with Romeo, a Montague. Mercutio, who had as much fire and youthful blood in him as Tybalt, replied to this accusation with some sharpness; and in spite of all Benvolio could say to moderate their wrath a quarrel was beginning when, Romeo himself passing that way, the fierce Tybalt turned from Mercutio to Romeo, and gave him the disgraceful appellation of villain. Romeo wished to avoid a quarrel with Tybalt above all men, because he was the kinsman of Juliet and much beloved by her; besides, this young Montague had never thoroughly entered into the family quarrel, being by nature wise and gentle, and the name of a Capulet, which was his dear lady's name, was now rather a charm to allay resentment than a watchword to excite fury. So he tried to reason with Tybalt, whom he saluted mildly by the name of Good Capulet, as if he, though a Montague, had some secret pleasure in uttering that name; but Tybalt, who hated all Montagues as he hated hell, would hear no reason, but drew his weapon; and Mercutio, who knew not of Romeo's secret motive for desiring peace with Tybalt, but looked upon his present forbearance as a sort of calm dishonorable submission, with many disdainful words provoked Tybalt to the prosecution of his first quarrel with him; and Tybalt and Mercutio fought, till Mercutio fell, receiving his death's wound while Romeo and Benvolio were vainly endeavoring to part the combatants. Mercutio being dead, Romeo kept his temper no longer, but returned the scornful appellation of villain which Tybalt had given him, and they fought till Tybalt was slain by Romeo. This deadly broil falling out in the midst of Verona at noonday, the news of it quickly brought a crowd of citizens to the spot and among them the Lords Capulet and Montague, with their wives; and soon after arrived the prince himself, who, being related to Mercutio, whom Tybalt had slain, and having had the peace of his government often disturbed by these brawls of Montagues and Capulets, came determined to put the law in strictest force against those who should be found to be offenders. Benvolio, who had been eye-witness to the fray, was commanded by the prince to relate the origin of it; which he did, keeping as near the truth as he could without injury to Romeo, softening and excusing the part which his friends took in it. Lady Capulet, whose extreme grief for the loss of her kinsman Tybalt made her keep no bounds in her revenge, exhorted the prince to do strict justice upon his murderer, and to,pay no attention to Benvolio's representation, who, being Romeo's friend and a Montague, spoke partially. Thus she pleaded against her new son-in-law, but she knew not yet that he was her son-in-law and Juliet's husband. On the other hand was to be seen Lady Montague pleading for her child's life, and arguing with some justice that Romeo had done nothing worthy of punishment in taking the life of Tybalt, which was already forfeited to the law by his having slain Mercutio. The prince, unmoved by the passionate exclamations of these women, on a careful examination of the facts pronounced his sentence, and by that sentence Romeo was banished from Verona.

********** Text ********** Part 2 Romeo, having this encouragement, would fain have spoken, but he was desirous of hearing more; and the lady continued her passionate discourse with herself (as she thought), still chiding Romeo for being Romeo and a Montague, and wishing him some other name, or that he would put away that hated name, and for that name which was no part of himself he should take all herself. At this loving word Romeo could no longer refrain, but, taking up the dialogue as if her words had been addressed to him personally, and not merely in fancy, he bade her call him Love, or by whatever other name she pleased, for he was no longer Romeo, if that name was displeasing to her. Juliet, alarmed to hear a man's voice in the garden, did not at first know who it was that by favor of the night and darkness had thus stumbled upon the discovery of her secret; but when he spoke again, though her ears had not yet drunk a hundred words of that tongue's uttering, yet so nice is a lover's hearing that she immediately knew him to be young Romeo, and she expostulated with him on the danger to which he had exposed himself by climbing the orchard walls, for if any of her kinsmen should find him there it would be death to him, being a Montague. "Alack!" said Romeo, "there is more peril in your eye than in twenty of their swords. Do you but look kind upon me, lady, and I am proof against their enmity. Better my life should be ended by their hate than that hated life should be prolonged to live without your love." "How came you into this place," said Juliet, "and by whose direction?" "Love directed me," answered Romeo. "I am no pilot, yet 'wert thou as far apart from me as that vast shore which is washed with the farthest sea, I should venture for such merchandise." A crimson blush came over Juliet's face, yet unseen by Romeo by reason of the night, when she reflected upon the discovery which she had made, yet not meaning to make it, of her love to Romeo. She would fain have recalled her words, but that was impossible; fain would she have stood upon form, and have kept her lover at a distance, as the custom of discreet ladies is, to frown and be perverse and give their suitors harsh denials at first; to stand off, and affect a coyness or indifference where they most love, that their lovers may not think them too lightly or too easily won; for the difficulty of attainment increases the value of the object. But there was no room in her case for denials, or puttings off, or any of the customary arts of delay and protracted courtship. Romeo had heard from her own tongue, when she did not dream that he was near her, a confession of her love. So with an honest frankness which the novelty of her situation excused, she confirmed the truth of what he had before heard, and, addressing him by the name of Fair Montague (love can sweeten a sour name), she begged him not to impute her easy yielding to levity or an unworthy mind, but that he must lay the fault of it (if it were a fault) upon the accident of the night which had so strangely discovered her thoughts. And she added, that though her behavior to him might not be sufficiently prudent, measured by the custom of her sex, yet that she would prove more true than many whose prudence was dissembling, and their modesty artificial cunning. Romeo was beginning to call the heavens to witness that nothing was farther from his thoughts than to impute a shadow of dishonor to such an honored lady, when she stopped him, begging him not to swear; for although she joyed in him, yet she had no joy of that night's contract--it was too rash, too unadvised, too sudden. But he being urgent with her to exchange a vow of love with him that night, she said that she already had given him hers before he requested it, meaning, when he overheard her confession; but she would retract what she then bestowed, for the pleasure of giving it again, for her bounty was as infinite as the sea, and her love as deep. From this loving conference she was called away by her nurse, who slept with her and thought it time for her to be in bed, for it was near to daybreak; but, hastily returning, she said three or four words more to Romeo the purport of which was, that if his love was indeed honorable, and his purpose marriage, she would send a messenger to him to-morrow to appoint a time for their marriage, when she would lay all her fortunes at his feet and follow him as her lord through the world. While they were settling this point Juliet was repeatedly called for by her nurse, and went in and returned, and went and returned again, for she seemed as jealous of Romeo going from her as a young girl of her bird, which she will let hop a little from her hand and pluck it back with a silken thread; and Romeo was as loath to part as she, for the sweetest music to lovers is the sound of each other's tongues at night. But at last they parted, wishing mutually sweet sleep and rest for that night. The day was breaking when they parted, and Romeo, who was too full of thoughts of his mistress and that blessed meeting to allow him to sleep, instead of going home, bent his course to a monastery hard by, to find Friar Lawrence. The good friar was already up at his devotions, but, seeing young Romeo abroad so early, he conjectured rightly that he had not been abed that night, but that some distemper of youthful affection had kept him waking. He was right in imputing the cause of Romeo's wakefulness to love, but he made a wrong guess at the object, for he thought that his love for Rosaline had kept him waking. But when Romeo revealed his new passion for Juliet, and requested the assistance of the friar to marry them that day, the holy man lifted up his eyes and hands in a sort of wonder at the sudden change in Romeo's affections, for he had been privy to all Romeo's love for Rosaline and his many complaints of her disdain; and he said that young men's love lay not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. But Romeo replying that he himself had often chidden him for doting on Rosaline, who could not love him again, whereas Juliet both loved and was beloved by him, the friar assented in some measure to his reasons; and thinking that a matrimonial alliance between young Juliet and Romeo might happily be the means of making up the long breach between the Capulets and the Montagues, which no one more lamented than this good friar who was a friend to both the families and had often interposed his mediation to make up the quarrel without effect; partly moved by policy, and partly by his fondness for young Romeo, to whom he could deny nothing, the old man consented to join their hands in marriage. Now was Romeo blessed indeed, and Juliet, who knew his intent from a messenger which she had dispatched according to promise, did not fail to be early at the cell of Friar Lawrence, where their hands were joined in holy marriage, the good friar praying the heavens to smile upon that act, and in the union of this young Montague and young Capulet, to bury the old strife and long dissensions of their families. The ceremony being over, Juliet hastened home, where she stayed, impatient for the coming of night, at which time Romeo promised to come and meet her in the orchard, where they had met the night before; and the time between seemed as tedious to her as the night before some great festival seems to an impatient child that has got new finery which it may not put on till the morning. That same day, about noon, Romeo's friends, Benvolio and Mercutio, walking through the streets of Verona, were met by a party of the Capulets with the impetuous Tybalt at their head. This was the same angry Tybalt who would have fought with Romeo at old Lord Capulet's feast. He, seeing Mercutio, accused him bluntly of associating with Romeo, a Montague. Mercutio, who had as much fire and youthful blood in him as Tybalt, replied to this accusation with some sharpness; and in spite of all Benvolio could say to moderate their wrath a quarrel was beginning when, Romeo himself passing that way, the fierce Tybalt turned from Mercutio to Romeo, and gave him the disgraceful appellation of villain. Romeo wished to avoid a quarrel with Tybalt above all men, because he was the kinsman of Juliet and much beloved by her; besides, this young Montague had never thoroughly entered into the family quarrel, being by nature wise and gentle, and the name of a Capulet, which was his dear lady's name, was now rather a charm to allay resentment than a watchword to excite fury. So he tried to reason with Tybalt, whom he saluted mildly by the name of Good Capulet, as if he, though a Montague, had some secret pleasure in uttering that name; but Tybalt, who hated all Montagues as he hated hell, would hear no reason, but drew his weapon; and Mercutio, who knew not of Romeo's secret motive for desiring peace with Tybalt, but looked upon his present forbearance as a sort of calm dishonorable submission, with many disdainful words provoked Tybalt to the prosecution of his first quarrel with him; and Tybalt and Mercutio fought, till Mercutio fell, receiving his death's wound while Romeo and Benvolio were vainly endeavoring to part the combatants. Mercutio being dead, Romeo kept his temper no longer, but returned the scornful appellation of villain which Tybalt had given him, and they fought till Tybalt was slain by Romeo. This deadly broil falling out in the midst of Verona at noonday, the news of it quickly brought a crowd of citizens to the spot and among them the Lords Capulet and Montague, with their wives; and soon after arrived the prince himself, who, being related to Mercutio, whom Tybalt had slain, and having had the peace of his government often disturbed by these brawls of Montagues and Capulets, came determined to put the law in strictest force against those who should be found to be offenders. Benvolio, who had been eye-witness to the fray, was commanded by the prince to relate the origin of it; which he did, keeping as near the truth as he could without injury to Romeo, softening and excusing the part which his friends took in it. Lady Capulet, whose extreme grief for the loss of her kinsman Tybalt made her keep no bounds in her revenge, exhorted the prince to do strict justice upon his murderer, and to,pay no attention to Benvolio's representation, who, being Romeo's friend and a Montague, spoke partially. Thus she pleaded against her new son-in-law, but she knew not yet that he was her son-in-law and Juliet's husband. On the other hand was to be seen Lady Montague pleading for her child's life, and arguing with some justice that Romeo had done nothing worthy of punishment in taking the life of Tybalt, which was already forfeited to the law by his having slain Mercutio. The prince, unmoved by the passionate exclamations of these women, on a careful examination of the facts pronounced his sentence, and by that sentence Romeo was banished from Verona.

I can't say how relieved I was when we met those guys on the plane. W: Oh, the ones using the same package holiday? Yeah, they were great. M: Mmm, really great, right? W: Look, for the last time, I did not fancy that guy! Where did you even get that from? M: You did talk to him for the entire journey. W: Well, we got on! He was interesting. M: Mmm, interesting… W: Oh, shh. M: Haha. Anyway, I'm not sure I could do it again. It completely tired me out. I mean, we hardly slept for a week, right? W: There's still a week before university starts again. Come on ? You can catch up on sleep. M: Well, I guess… Oh, God, I just remembered that night… W: Can we, like, not talk about that, ever? M: Oh come on, it was so funny… W: It was NOT funny. It was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me! M: It wasn't embarrassing! … Well, maybe it was a bit embarrassing. OK, a lot. But it was hilarious… W: It was only hilarious for everyone else. M: (Still trying not to laugh) OK, you're right. I won't mention it. I won't tell the whole of Facebook how you fell in that river? Haha I'm joking, joking! I won't. Seriously. (Pause) M: It was funny, though. (Written by Anna Hill)

Merry Christmas to all the listeners! Hiroshima University's English Podcastスタッフ一同、リスナーの皆さんが楽しいクリスマスを過ごされますことを祈っております。 そんなわけで今回はクリスマスのエピソードをお届けします。男性が、恋人の女性の家に招かれたようです。二人が過ごしているロマンチックなクリスマスの様子を、少し覗いてみましょう。 Download MP3 （21:04　12.2MB　初級～中級）** Script *** (Slow speed) 04:40-06:50 (Natural speed) 17:15-19:10 A Romantic Christmas (Scene: A family sitting around after Christmas lunch. The daughter has brought her boyfriend of two years to spend Christmas with them for the first time.) W: Doesn't the tree look amazing? M: It really does. My family only has this really small fake one we always use. W: They always let me decorate it; I have since I was a kid. It's like a tradition now. M: Well, you did it really well. It looks great! W: (laughs) Well sure, but you have to say that; you're my boyfriend! M: (laughs) No, really!! It's cool. (pause) M: By the way, thanks for inviting me here. Your parents' cooking is unbelievable… I'm so full right now! W: Oh, same! And I wanted you to come! Christmas gets so stressful sometimes, you know, when everyone starts fighting, and then my little brother starts crying because he didn't get what he wanted, and then my sister spends the whole afternoon on the phone talking to her boyfriend, and everyone gets annoyed with her… M: It's completely chaotic in my family. I love how your family opens presents, actually, just one at a time with everyone watching. In my house everyone just jumps in and starts ripping the wrapping paper open like vultures or something. W: Haha, well, it's good, yeah. Last year we were all dying to open everything and had to wait until Boxing Day because that's when the grandparents got here. M: Are you kidding? You didn't open anything until the day after? That's harsh… W: It was fun, though, on Boxing Day, because we had the whole family there. That's what Christmas is meant to be, right? M: I guess. It's good when the whole family gets together. W: And, well, I suppose that means… you're part of our family now. M: Oh… um… well, since you said that… I was going to save it for later, but, um… oh, I wanted to do this properly, but maybe spontaneous is good. Will you… do you want… will you marry me?

おかげさまで「やさしい英語会話」は100エピソード目を迎えました！リスナーの皆様にはいつもご愛聴いただき、改めて感謝いたしますとともに、今後ともよろしくお願い申し上げます。 記念すべき今回のエピソードでは、携帯電話を買う場面の会話をお届けします。携帯電話と言っても、最近ではいわゆる従来型の携帯に加え、iPhoneをはじめとするスマートフォンもよく店頭で見かけるようになりました。ユーザーは、自分のニーズに応じて様々な選択ができるようになっています（ちなみにHiroshima University's English Podcastはもちろんスマートフォンでもお楽しみいただけます）。 さて、会話のお客さんはどのような携帯を欲しがっているのでしょうか。通話やメール（to text）ができればよいのでしょうか、それとも高機能なスマートフォンを求めているのでしょうか。また、毎月の通話料は月額プラン（contract）とプリペイド（pay-as-you-go）のどちらを望んでいますか。 今回お借りした素材 画像（iPhone）：Wikipedia 効果音：The Freesound Project Download MP3 （18:24　10.6MB　初級～中級）** Script *** (Slow speed) 02:10-4:50 (Natural speed) 13:05-15:00 Buying a Mobile Phone W: Hi there. Can I help you? M: Um, yes, I suppose so. I'm looking for a new mobile phone. W: OK. Well, as you can see, we have a huge range. But first, I need to ask: are you thinking of having a contract or just *pay-as-you-go? M: Uh… does it matter? W: If you have a contract then you can get a lot of these phones free with it, but with pay-as-you-go there's a different set of phones. M: Oh… what would I have to do for a contract? W: It's easy enough – I can organise it right here in 20 minutes or so. All the contracts are for 12 months at first, and then after that you can cancel it any time you want. M: Well… actually, I don't think I would use it enough for a contract. W: The smallest contract we offer is 100 texts and 100 minutes a month for ￡10. M: No, I think I'll go with just paying for what I use. W: Alright. Well, here is the range of phones we offer for pay-as-you-go. There are the smart phones here, the BlackBerry, and the iPhones― M: Um, I just want something simple. All I want to do is call people and text people. W: Well, on this side we have the more traditional-style ones. I can recommend this one especially – it's got Bluetooth, a 9-megapixel camera, a touch-screen, and loads of special features installed, and it comes in six different colours. M: I… no, I really don't need all the special features, I just want to be able to get in touch with my son. W: This one's also touch-screen enabled, and you can even do video conferences on it. M: I think those are a little expensive for me, honestly… W: This one is a little cheaper and still comes in five colours – and it flips out for a qwerty keyboard. M: No, I… Don't you have anything that just calls and texts?? (Written by Anna Hill) *pay-as-you-go: いわゆるプリペイド携帯のこと。

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all the listeners of Hiroshima University's English Podcast! いよいよ今週末はクリスマス。というわけで今回はクリスマスにまつわる会話をお届けします。 クリスマスに子どもたちが楽しみにしているものといえばプレゼント。今回の会話では、女性がクリスマスプレゼントについての思い出を語ります。彼女の子どもの頃の思い出とはどのようなものだったのでしょうか。そして、彼女の思い出にいちばん残っているプレゼントとは何でしょうか。 今回お借りした素材 画像：Open ClipArt Library Download MP3 （21:41　12.5MB　初級～中級）** Script *** (Slow speed) 02:05-04:20 (Natural speed) 18:00-19:55 Christmas W: Hmm… For some reason I'm just not feeling the whole “Christmas spirit” thing this year. Maybe once they start playing Christmas songs on the radio, it'll hit me, though. M: What always gets me into the Christmas spirit is reminiscing about opening presents on Christmas Day when you were a kid. What's the best present you ever got when you were a kid, Lisa? W: Well, when I was little I was kind of a spoiled brat, especially around Christmas time. I remember that before Christmas Day every year I would carefully open up all the presents under the tree, take a peek, and close them back up! M: Well that's no fun! Didn't that spoil the surprise? W: It definitely did, but that's not the worst thing – not only was I doing this to my own presents, but to my parent's and brother's as well! I would tease my brother by telling him that I'm a mind-reader, and that I knew ahead of time what present my parents were getting him. I think once my brother started complaining about that is when my parents started to catch on. M: Catch on? You mean they figured out that you were opening the presents? W: Yeah, I remember the Christmas when I was eight or so, my dad put a gigantic present addressed to me under the tree, probably about a week before Christmas Day. It was the biggest present I had ever gotten until that point in my life, so you can imagine how quickly I wanted to open it up! M: What did it turn out to be? An empty box? W: No, it was actually a big bag of coal! M: Hah! That's exactly what you deserved for opening the presents. W: Yeah, I know. And I cried and cried. I must have cried every night that week because of that, but come Christmas morning my dad replaced it with my first bike – it was pink with a basket and streamers. And that was my best present ever! M: Jeeze, you really are spoiled! (Written by Nathan Olson)

７月最後となる今回は、学生さんにとってはできれば避けたい話題―「宿題」がテーマです。 宿題の提出が遅れている男子学生が、先生に言い訳をしています。よくもまあこれだけ思いつくものだと感心してしまうほど、彼は手を変え品を変えて言い訳をし続けます。先生は彼に宿題をさせることができるのでしょうか。 なお、今回はAyakoの出演する「やさしい英語会話」の最終回となります。来月からAyakoはHiroshima University's English Podcastの別の番組で司会を務める予定です。（詳しくは別エントリー「８月のHiroshima University's English Podcastについて」をご覧ください） 今回お借りした素材 写真（黒板とチョーク）：Wikipedia Download MP3 （16:04　9.3MB　初級～中級）** Script *** (Slow speed) 01:05-03:20 (Natural speed) 12:05-14:05 Handing in Homework M: Umm…Ms. Yamada? I’m sorry. I can’t hand in my homework today. Um, I think…the sheep took it from my bag on my way to school. W: What? How can sheep take your homework? You forgot your homework last week as well. Calvin, you need to work harder. M: I didn’t forget it last week. Last week… my dog ate it all up! W: Yeah, yeah, yeah…Calvin, you need to take more responsibility for what you do when you go to college or the workplace. You could get kicked out of school, or even lose your job! M: OK…but I’m still a kid. W: You’re already 18!! You’ll be out in the work force soon! Now, I want you to sit here and write “I’LL HAND IN MY HOMEWORK NEXT WEEK” 100 times. M: What!? Now? Here? W: Yes. Just sit here, write them on this paper. M: (in an adult-like way) Um, Ms. Yamada, I think this is meaningless. There is no guarantee that I’ll hand in my homework next week even if I write that sentence 100 times. It’s just a waste of time, paper, and ink. You will pollute the earth by making me do this thing. W: ……Calvin, that was the most logical thing I’ve heard you say in the last 10 months! M: Yeah?? So…can I go now? W: No. Now, I’d like to hear your story more. How can I get you to hand in last week’s homework? M: (in an adult-like way) Ms. Yamada, you need to keep moving forward. Some people say we should learn from the past, but I don’t think that’s always the case. We shouldn’t let the past pull us down. There is no future behind us; it’s ahead of us! So just forget about it and let’s move on! W: No! Now, you do last week’s homework right here, right now, and hand it in. Is that clear? M: Yes, Ms. Yamada. (Written by Ayumi Furutani)

７月最後となる今回は、学生さんにとってはできれば避けたい話題―「宿題」がテーマです。 宿題の提出が遅れている男子学生が、先生に言い訳をしています。よくもまあこれだけ思いつくものだと感心してしまうほど、彼は手を変え品を変えて言い訳をし続けます。先生は彼に宿題をさせることができるのでしょうか。 なお、今回はAyakoの出演する「やさしい英語会話」の最終回となります。来月からAyakoはHiroshima University's English Podcastの別の番組で司会を務める予定です。（詳しくは別エントリー「８月のHiroshima University's English Podcastについて」をご覧ください） 今回お借りした素材 写真（黒板とチョーク）：Wikipedia Download MP3 （16:04　9.3MB　初級～中級）** Script *** (Slow speed) 01:05-03:20 (Natural speed) 12:05-14:05 Handing in Homework M: Umm…Ms. Yamada? I’m sorry. I can’t hand in my homework today. Um, I think…the sheep took it from my bag on my way to school. W: What? How can sheep take your homework? You forgot your homework last week as well. Calvin, you need to work harder. M: I didn’t forget it last week. Last week… my dog ate it all up! W: Yeah, yeah, yeah…Calvin, you need to take more responsibility for what you do when you go to college or the workplace. You could get kicked out of school, or even lose your job! M: OK…but I’m still a kid. W: You’re already 18!! You’ll be out in the work force soon! Now, I want you to sit here and write “I’LL HAND IN MY HOMEWORK NEXT WEEK” 100 times. M: What!? Now? Here? W: Yes. Just sit here, write them on this paper. M: (in an adult-like way) Um, Ms. Yamada, I think this is meaningless. There is no guarantee that I’ll hand in my homework next week even if I write that sentence 100 times. It’s just a waste of time, paper, and ink. You will pollute the earth by making me do this thing. W: ……Calvin, that was the most logical thing I’ve heard you say in the last 10 months! M: Yeah?? So…can I go now? W: No. Now, I’d like to hear your story more. How can I get you to hand in last week’s homework? M: (in an adult-like way) Ms. Yamada, you need to keep moving forward.

So just forget about it and let’s move on! W: No! Now, you do last week’s homework right here, right now, and hand it in. Is that clear? M: Yes, Ms. Yamada. (Written by Ayumi Furutani)

M: Um, I want to go to Peace Park, and see the atomic bomb dome. And, I want to do some shopping. Is the city center far from Peace Park? W: No, it's very near Peace Park. OK, let's get on the tram and go to Peace Park. (sound of the tram) M: It's my first time to get on a tram. We have trains back home, but we don't have these ... W: You can see the center of Hiroshima City on the way to Peace Park. Oh, we're getting off at this station. M: So, is that the atomic bomb dome? W: Yes. I think it's the symbol of Hiroshima. I didn't think about its meaning very much when I was small, but when I think about its meaning now, I want a lot of people to see this. So I'm very glad you're here. M: Thanks. I can see there are a lot of tourists here too. W: Yeah, I often pass through Peace Park and there are always non-Japanese people here, which is great. M: Hey, Aya, we learned a little about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima at school, but we didn't learn much. Were your grandparents here when the bomb was dropped? W: My grandfather was in Hiroshima, and he told me his brother was killed, and they never found his body. M: That's terrible…There must be a lot of people who don't know much about the atomic bomb and its cruelty. We all should know the facts and never repeat this tragedy again. W: Yes, you're right. So, where shall we go now? The Peace Memorial Museum is way down there. M: Let's walk around the park and go then to the museum. W: OK. And let's go to the city center after the museum. What would you like for lunch? I recommend okonomiyaki. M: What's that? W: Um, it's kind of like a pancake but it's not sweet, and we eat it at lunch or dinner. Hiroshima is famous for its own style of okonomiyaki. There are lots of okonomiyaki shops in Hiroshima. It's really nice. I'm sure you'll like it. (Written by Ayumi Furutani)
