番外編 Unit18「オリンピック見た？」12pm at the office kitchen　公開日：2016/09/02

(Conversation about the Olympics) Have you been watching the Olympics? (*1)
(（オリンピック会話） オリンピック見てる？)

Yeah, but because of the time difference, I haven't been getting much sleep. (*2)
(はい、でも時差がすごいから寝不足になっちゃっいます。)

Did you watch gymnastics? (*3)
(体操見た？)

Mr. Uchimura was great, but the guy who won the silver medal made a fantastic comment. (*4)
(内村君、すごかったけど銀メダルの人のコメント素敵だったわ。)

Right after the mean reporter asked Mr. Uchimura a strange question, right? (*5)
(どっかの記者が内村君にいじわるな質問した後のだよね？)

Right. Now I'm thinking that personality is really important for athletes. (*6)
(やっぱり、スポーツマンって人格大切ですね～)

By the way, Japan has been getting more medals than we'd expected.
(日本は予想以上にメダル取っているようだね。)

I feel a bit sorry for some of the Japanese athletes. (*7)
(中にはちょっとかわいそうな選手もいるね。)

Why's that?
(どうしてですか？)

Some seemed to take it for granted that they would win the gold medal. (*8)
(メダルは金を取って当たり前って思われている人、とか。)

Some looked disappointed even though they won the bronze medal. (*9)
(銅メダルで落ち込んでいるような人もいるし。)

確かにそうですね！残りのオリンピックも楽しみたいですね。
(ヒント：「残りの～」➡the rest of~)
