Dialogue

① No, thank you.【 No だけではなく、thank you も】
👉さあ、No と断るだけでは、ちょっと言葉が足りませんよね。
せっかく勧めてくれたのですから(Would you like 〜？）、thank you をつけておきましょう。

② Compared to when？【 compare の過去分詞を用いた表現】
👉 compared 「比較する」という動詞の「過去分詞」ですよね。
「いつと比べて」という表現が、compared to when – こうした返しを、軽くできるようになると
上級者ですよ。

③ Victorian times, for example.【 Victorian times の意味】
👉 Victorian times – これは「ビクトリア王朝時代」というわけですね。
およそ、19世紀頃の話です。

④ Wow, I can see the resemblance.【 resemblance の意味】
👉 resemblance – これは「類似性・似ていること」というわけですね。
