Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hey guys.
Hello.
How's it going?
So, alright, so that last one.
Okay, this is 佐藤さん.
Okay.
ケビンさん、山ちゃん、こんにちは。
こんにちは。
佐藤と言います。
現在大学1年生でこのポッドキャストを聞き始めてから3年が経ちました。
Nice.
配信を聞いていたおかげでだんだんとリスニング力が上がってきているなと感じています。
ありがとうございます。
話は変わるのですが、
今年の夏、国際大会でボランティアに参加することを考えており、
英語話者の選手の誘導などに携わることになっています。
そこでお聞きしたいことがあるのですが、
〇〇選手って感じに人を呼ぶときにはどのようなフレーズをつければいいのでしょうか。
例えば山田太郎選手だったらMr.Yamadaのように呼ぶのでしょうか。
さすがにそれだと距離が遠すぎるでしょうか。
太郎さん、太郎選手のようなフランクな呼び方などおすすめがあればご教示いただきたいです。
よろしくお願いします。
なるほど。
〇〇選手。
確かにね。
Does that exist?
You know, you look a lot of the football media.
I don't think it exists.
They call them by their names.
Like Messi?
Yeah.
Or in many of those interviews, they call them bytheir first name.
First name?
Like Leo.
So Leo, how was your match? They would say that?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I think so.
Yeah.
Okay.
For example, like Endo Wataru, he's playing inLiverpool.
After the match, they have a conference, like aflash interview.
Hey, Wataru, how was it?
Yeah, I think that's how they do it.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Never heard at least Mr. Endo, how was the... I'venever heard like that.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I see.
What do you feel?
I would maybe go with Mr. Endo.
Yeah.
Just to play it safe.
Yeah.
Because it's the most polite way.
Just the proper distance between man and man.
Yeah.
But I don't know, that could be a little bit maybetoo distant.
Yeah, I'm not too sure on this.
But yeah, I would start off with Mr. Last name.
Mr. Last name.
Okay, Mr. Endo.
But yeah, I mean, I think, but you know, callingsomebody by their first name isn't as too
narunarushi when you compare to if you do it inJapan.
Oh, I see.
So...
That's that.
03:00
That's that.
It's completely different than we call Endo Senshuin Japan.
Wataru!
Yeah.
If I say that, that's too close.
Too close.
Yeah.
I would say Endo Senshu.
But in the UK, I would say Wata.
How is it?
That's his nickname.
People say that a lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's why.
Like the reporters say that as well.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So I can call like that.
But in Japanese, I would never do that.
Different culture.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Maybe then the first name would work too, I guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Or maybe those like football reporters are likealready they're close enough.
Maybe.
I see.
So it's different from just random guy comingto...
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It could be a unique dynamic there.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, reporters are...
They are in the world already, so...
But if you listen to the jikkyo of the footballplayers...
Okay.
The announcer, the Americans, they say theirplayers just put their first name, right?
Oh, so just with the last name.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
True.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
Yeah.
Right.
But...
You know, I would go with last name first.
I think so, too.
Me, too.
If I were in this situation, I was a staff orsomething, and you have a profession of
sport players and everything, I would say, hello,Mr. Something, at least at the beginning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think...
I can't go...
I can't go, Leo!
Yeah.
If we had enough conversation and became closer,then I'd maybe call him Leo.
But...
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I think, I guess, Mr. Leo...
Sorry, Mr. Messy, number one, and then maybeMessy, and then maybe Leo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's hope.
Let's do that.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Thanks for sitting, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
