Opening

Roza
▶︎ Hey, guys. Let’s make it our business to practice some English today.
This is Akino Roza.

▶︎ Good one, Roza. I like it. Hi, everyone. I’m David Evans.

Dialogue

① I just got a message from Justin Miller about the interface redesign project.
【 interface の意味 】
👉さあ、interface という単語が出てきましたね。inter は「〜の間」face は「顔・面」という意味
ですね。つまり、２つの面が接触する場所 – それが interface です。ここでは、「機械と人間」というわけですね。

② Basically, he wants a quick update on what we’ve improved so far and what still needs work.【 basically, so far, needs work の意味 】
👉さあ、basically という表現が出てきましたね。これは、「基礎的に」と訳すことも多い単語なのですが、
基本的に「要点を押さえると」という感触の表現です。そして、so far 「今までに」という表現。そして
needs work – これは「作業を必要とする」というわけです。
