Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hey guys.
So, okay.
Last one.
This is from リーマス・ルーピンが好きな大学生。
All right.
ケビンさん、ヤマさん、こんにちは。
こんにちは。
毎日通学時間にお二人のポッドキャストを楽しく拝聴しています。
Thank you.
私は英語で接客する機会の多いカフェでバイトをしています。
職場としてはホテルほどカッチリはしないが、
友達のように近い距離感で接するわけでもないというバランスを大事にしています。
私は海外経験もなく英語もまだまだですので、
上品さを演出する話し方のモデルとして、
ハリポタシリーズに登場するリーマス・ルーピンやシリウス・ブラックを参考にしていますが、
お二人なら普段英語で会話する中で上品さとフレンドリーさを同居させたいときにどうするかや
同居できている人の特徴があればぜひ教えていただきたいです。
多くのお便りが届いていて仕分け作業なども大変かと思いますが、
今後ますます気温も上がりますので、どうかお体にお気を付けください。
今後の活動も応援しています。
Thank you.
How does Sirius Black talk?
It's like very posh British.
It's like one of the…
They have like that family.
They think that they have the great blood.
Ah, like the royal family.
Is he the guy that doesn't have the nose?
The nose?
There's a guy that doesn't have the nose, right?
You mean…
The guy who should not be named?
Oh, no.
Sirius Black is one of the deshi, a kobun of theVoldemort guy.
Oh, okay.
He's very…
Yeah, father of the Draco Malfoy.
Oh, okay. I think I remember.
With like blonde hair.
I see.
I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember that guy being kind of harsh and mean.
If he was like an employee at a hotel orsomething.
True.
I mean, it's not only the way he talks, but what'she…
Like the phrases and the words that he uses istoo, I would say, arrogant.
Oh, yeah.
But who, you know, looking down to people.
I see. I see.
He thinks he's greater than everybody.
Yes, yes.
That's the attitude he has?
Yeah.
Wow. Not a very friendly…
Yeah, he looks down everybody.
Oh, what a role model.
Yeah.
Okay.
03:03
Yeah, honestly, I'd say he's the worst guy in thefilm.
Like he's just arrogant.
He looks down everybody, but he obeys to that Voldemort.
Oh, okay.
He's just courageless, coward.
Oh, wow.
But looking down people.
True.
Yeah.
One of the worst role models.
Oh, God.

I don't remember he was talking in like an elegantEnglish.
Okay.

Rupin senses like the professor.
And then, yeah, I don't remember he was…
Was he from some good family or something?
Yeah.

Okay.
Yeah.
Maybe.
All right.
Yeah, like picking characters from Harry Potter isa bit…
It's like there are so many different elements.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
Yeah.
It's one of the, you know, lesser suitable filmsto pick English role models from
if you're doing service.
Yeah, especially service.
Yeah, that's true.
Who do you think the best to imitate?
Oh, I remember the…
I forget the guy's name.
The guy who did Loki in the Mario films.
Yeah.
I remember his face.
Yeah.
His English was pretty elegant.
Okay.
American?
I think he's from the UK.

I mean, his English is actually very American andvery average and…
Okay, okay.
You know, he's actually a nice guy.

In Hollywood films and if you, you know, if youlook at interviews of him,

Average English.

So you have maybe like a sekkyaku role.
Right, sekkyaku role.
Hotel guys.
At the airport, maybe taxi driver.
And they do all these cliché language and wordsand that's it.
You can catch a lot of culture from looking attheir sketches.
