先日、無人探査機"New Horizons"の冥王星接近（写真）が話題となりました。今週と来週は、宇宙を舞台としたタイムリーな会話をお届けします。 タイムマシンを発明した男性が、女性とともに時間と宇宙空間を旅しています。女性はそのあまりの退屈さに「押してはいけない」ボタンを押してしまいます…。 Image credit: NASA via Wikipedia.

The man built the time machine, and the woman wants to get back to Earth. W: Ah! We've been up here forever! I can't take it anymore! (Suddenly alarms ring.) M: Hey! What's going on! (alarms stop) I told you NOT to press the red button! W: You know that never works! Of course I'm going to press the red button if you ask me not to do it! M: What the heck. So, if I told you to NOT jump off a bridge, you would?!?! W: Um, maybe… (alarms ring again) M: NO WAIT, STOP! (alarms stop) DON'T KEEP PRESSING IT! Do you want to make the situation worse? W: What else do you want me to do? You're not telling me anything, and I want to get out of here. If the red button brought us here then maybe it will bring us back home! M: The red button is much more complicated than that. W: It's just a button! M: But it's MY button. W: Oh, chill out! Well, if I can't press the button, then the only other option is to open the door. M: Well, THAT sounds like a horrible idea. W: Would you like to open it together then? M: Are you crazy? You don't even know where we are! W: I know! I'm stuck in a so-called time machine with a crazy man! M: You're even crazier than me if you want to open that door. W: It's fine. How dangerous could it be? M: Well, for one, we could be on a planet that has an acidic atmosphere. Or, we could've landed ourselves in the middle of a war. Or, the ground could be made of lava -- we could be anywhere! W: We'll never know if we don't open the door!  (Written by Lauren Johnson)

梅雨の季節ですが、本格的な夏の到来まであとわずかとなりました。今回の会話は、冬の寒さの記憶もまだ新しい中、ようやく初夏の陽気を感じさせる、そんな季節の会話です。さて、今年の夏の暑さは、史上最高気温（an all-time high）となるのでしょうか…。 Image credit: Stevebidmead via Pixabay.

W: A~ah, the weather's been so nice lately! Finally it's starting to warm up. M: Yeah, it's a nice change of pace after the biting cold of winter. W: This past winter was really freezing, wasn't it? M: I know. It DID seem like it was worse than usual. But now it's warming up quick and it'll be summer before you know it! Hopefully, the summer heat won't reach all-time highs like the winter cold made it to new lows. W: Right now I feel like I'd rather deal with an oppressively hot summer than face that cold any longer. M: But the humidity is going to be horrible! And sunlight causes skin cancer, you know. W: True, but it'll be worth it to be able to actually go outside without having to wear 5 layers of coats. M: Yeah, but it'll be so hot that you won't actually WANT to go outside. W: That's not even possible; I always want to be outside. There's nothing like fresh air to fill you with energy! M: We'll see if you still feel that way when your lungs are filled with the moisture from the humidity. W: You're exaggerating; it can't possibly ever get that bad. Besides, aren't you excited to be able to get out and do all of those fun summer activities? Barbeques, playing ball at the park, going to the beach, and going on hikes! M: Hey, you really like being outside, don't you? W: Well, yeah. Even just sitting outside and enjoying the warm weather is nice. There's something that's just relaxing about sitting in the shade, even if you're doing some kind of work at the same time. M: Well, I can't argue with that; I know I'd rather sit outside than in a stuffy old office, or something. W: Exactly! It's better for your health too. M: Alright. You win. Yeah! Summer is coming!

今回から「やさしい英語会話」は新しい学生アシスタント、Keiさんとともにお届けします。明るく元気な大学１年生で、先週までのAkariさんと同様に、楽しく番組を進行していきます。ところでKeiさんの高校時代の留学先は、Joeと接点があるようですね…。 今回お届けするのは"Would You Rather..?" Gameのお話。どちらも微妙な二つの選択肢の中から、究極の選択を行うゲームです。英語のスピーキングを楽しく練習できるゲームなので、ぜひ試してみましょう。会話の中では、どんな質問が登場するのでしょうか…？ Image credit: (Antarctica) Clayoquot via Wikipedia. CC BY-SA 3.0.

W: Ah… That sounds like a horrible game. M: That's sort of the point, though! Alright, I'll start! Hmm… let me think… would you rather live in Antarctica or Death Valley? W: Oh, both are bad. OK… I'll choose Antarctica. At least I could build myself an igloo! Haha… OK. It's my turn now. Um… would you rather be trapped underground, or endlessly float through space? M: Um… I'm claustrophobic, so I choose ‘Endlessly floating through space'. W: I'd probably choose the same. Both are pretty crappy situations, though. M: I'd say! Alright… Would you rather… have a condition that made you sweat 10 times more than usual, or have really bad breath that was incurable? W: Bad breath! Most definitely bad breath! Can I use mints constantly? M: Mints don't work. It's an incurable condition, remember? W: Nooo! Alright, but I'm still sticking with bad breath. I'll just wear a mask for the rest of my life and will be known as the ‘masked beauty'. M: Haaaahhh, you DON'T need to wear a mask to be beautiful. W: Oh, how flattering… M: (laughs) OK, last one! Would you rather… go on a date with me, or go on a date with an old hairy lumberjack? W: Smooth… Um, I'll go with the old hairy lumberjack. M: Wow, what a lucky guy! W: Tomorrow at 7 pm. I'll be waiting outside my apartment. M: Hey, what are you trying to say? That I'm old and hairy? Anyway, I'm looking forward to it!    (Written by Lauren Johnson)

今回の会話では、バスケットボールの試合を終えた後の男女が話をしています。でも男性の方はかなりのプレイボーイらしく、女性にあの手この手で言い寄ります。歯の浮くようなクサいせりふの連発ぶりに、女性もあきれ気味です。彼はどんなせりふを口にしているのでしょうか…。 さて、これまで２年間「やさしい英語会話」のアシスタントを務めてくれたAkariさんは、今回の出演が最後となります。毎月第２週目にお届けしている「アメリカ探求の旅」の方は引き続きAkariさんが担当しますが、「やさしい英語会話」は次回から新アシスタントを迎えます。これからも、Hiroshima University's English Podcastの番組をよろしくお願いします！ Image credit: RondellMelling via Pixabay.
