Dialogue

① It’s been so hot recently.【 現在完了形のニュアンス】
👉 It’s been 過去から現在に向かって、と動きが感じられる表現ですね。
現在完了形の典型的な表現です。

② But I prefer hot weather to really cold weather.【 prefer A to B の構造】
👉さあ、prefer A to B – BよりもA を好き、というフレーズが出てきました。
考え方は単純です。 prefer hot weather とまず言い切るんですね。「暑い天気をより好んで
いるんですよ」というわけです。何よりも好んでいるのか、それを、to でさして、t
to really cold weather というわけです、

③ Where were you born, William?【 be born の意味】
👉 be born 「生まれる」という表現ですね。覚えておきましょう。

④ Not in the slightest.【 not in the slightest の意味】
👉さあ、slight という形容詞。これは、「かすかな」というわけですね。
not in the slightest で「少しも〜ない」という表現になっています。

Pronunciation Polish

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time for today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
Let’s jump right in with today’s pharse.
・Have you ever been there?
・Have you ever been there?

All right.
Today’s question is super hi – frequency.
So let’s master it. So you can use it in your everyday conversation.
First up is “have.”
The /h/ sound will disappear.
Let’s try.
have, have

Very nice.
Next up the /u:/ sound in “you”
Let’s shorten that up.
you, you

Put them together.
have you, have you

All right.
Next up the “been there.”
The “n” sound and “th” sound will disappear.
been there, been there

All right.
Let’s put it together at first, and then speed up.
・Have you ever been there?
・Have you ever been there?

All right.
And a little more natural.
・Have you ever been there?

All right.
Because this is high-frequency,
you’ll hear a native speaker this very quicikly.
“Have you ever been there?”
You don’t have to master that speed just yet,
but let’s get used to it.
Great work today.
