オンラインミーティングでの意見の求め方
昨年から会社からの指示で英語の勉強を始めてKERにたどり着き聞き始めて1年が経過しました。これほど長く続けていられる習慣もあまりないので本当に助かります。ありがとうございます。
英語で教えていただきたいことがあるのですが、直接話をしているときに意見を求めるときWhat do you think about this?でいいと思うのですが、例えば複数人でオンラインのミーティングをしているとき、特定の人に意見を求めるときにはyouでは誰かがわからなくなってしまうのでyouではなく、例えばKevinのような具体的な名前を入れる必要があると思いますが、そのときはdoesになるのでしょうか?
と思ったので教えていただけると幸いです。
What do you think about this?っていう元の文章があって、それだとWho am I talking about?になってしまうと、youだと。だからwhat do youじゃなくて、例えばWhat do Kevin think about?にする必要があるんじゃないかと。
そうなったとするとWhat does Kevin think about this?にするべきなんじゃないかという質問ですね。
It's like you're talking with, I don't know, Johnson, right? And then your co-worker, Kevin, not in the same room, but he's like, hey, what does Kevin think about this?
Is he with us? Is he agreeing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Something like that.
So yeah, when Kevin's not in the same room, we say that.
But if you want to talk directly to Kevin, you say, what do you think about this, Kevin?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right, right.
If you're in the same room and somebody says, what does Kevin think about it?
And how do you feel it?
I mean, I mean, are we talking about a different Kevin? Like, other than me?
Like, that's what I would think.
I see.
It just feels like you're asking someone who's not present here.
So, yeah, it feels weird.
Yeah.
What do you think about it?
Kevin.
Oh, Kevin, what do you think about it?
Yeah.
You good?
Yeah, I'm good. I'm very good.
感情と身体の反応
What about coughs? Can you do coughs with your teeth?
Yeah.
In coughs?
Yeah.
Okay.
But I don't do it.
You don't want to do it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's safe not to do it.
I don't do anything. I don't want to do anything.
What about laughing? I don't laugh really hard.
I think it's okay.
It's okay?
Yeah.
So, the problem is if I put pressure to the nose, nose hole, that's a problem.
So, for example, kushami, you can do kushami, but you shouldn't stop it.
You don't want somebody to stop kushami.
That's right, yeah.
And that's no-no.
And then, like, yeah, that happens.
So, that pressure will keep it, like, boom, and make a hole.
Like airplanes, you know?
That's kind of, like, I don't know what to do, right?
Or, like, in a very, like, right here, this is pretty, like, high, right?
Oh, no.
Your air pressure.
The difference of the air pressure.
Right.
Right?
Maybe kiatsu difference.
Oh, no.
Dude, you gotta, I mean, you gotta go down.
Probably, like, a little bit, yeah.
But it's open, right?
Because, like, it's not, like, a sealed room.
Yeah.
It's opened.
So, it's, like, I just said, the pressure, like, air pressure.
Sure.
I guess, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay.
It's not something like PET bottle, and you go on a plane, it's getting bigger.
ユニークなパフォーマンスの技
That's true.
That's true.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good.
If you, God forbid, you know, you break that skin, and your nose and mouth is connected.
Right.
I feel like there's a lot of merit to that, as well, though.
Like, there's so many fun things you could do.
Okay, okay.
You could eat through your nose, technically.
Technically, yes, yes.
You could, like, pour.
What's the merit for that?
But, yeah, but you can do that.
You technically, you can pour coffee through your nose.
Yes, yes.
Let it drip through.
Let it drip through your whole, into your mouth.
You can do that.
If you want to, yes, you can do that.
Right?
That's, that's, that's fun.
Is that fun?
Yeah.
Is that merit for you?
The trick.
Well, I mean, you can do some tricks.
It's like a magic trick.
Yeah.
It's like a magic trick.
Yeah.
You can pour, like, udon from the nose, and just pour it from the mouth.
Exactly, exactly.
You can do that, yes.
That's a trick.
You can do that, yes.
You can do some tricks.
You can grind coffees, right?
Okay.
You can take that grinded coffee.
Yeah.
Fill it in your beaku, and then pour hot water through your nose, and you have a direct drip
coffee into your mouth.
Like, very fresh coffee.
That's right.
You'd have, that's right.
You have paper filters inside you.
ディビッド・ブレインの影響
That is amazing.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a merit.
That's a merit.
Yeah.
It's a merit.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you know the guy, I forget the name, the, like, musician guy?
Yeah.
Who is really, I think, very famous in the United States, maybe.
What does he do?
He, so he does, he does some tricks.
One is, like, it's like the authentic magic to me.
Okay.
Like, very great magic.
Like, uses cars, uses glasses and everything.
Right.
I love those ones.
Yeah.
And that's what I love about him.
And the other ones, like, he put, like, knife into his, like, nose.
Okay.
And then put it out from his mouth.
Wow.
Or, like, he eats glasses.
Or, like, he, I don't know, suddenly he pull out, like, frogs from his mouth.
Oh.
Disgusting.
Or, like, he pull, like, knife into the skin and then just pull it out.
What the hell?
Yeah.
Those are, like, things I don't want to see.
But I love those, these styles of tricks.
Okay.
That was so good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The painful ones?
Oh, I don't know.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's painful.
Yeah, but still amazing.
Yeah.
Incredible.
Yeah.
I forgot the name.
I forgot the name.
Oh, David Blaine.
I've heard of him.
David Blaine, B-L-A-I-N-E, I guess.
But he's, he's like a.
Yeah, I've heard of him.
Yeah.
I know him.
He's not only a musician, but he does, like, I'm not sure, like, he gets inside the water
and then just be in the water for the longest time.
Oh.
The record or, like, I don't know, those, like, dangerous, you know, things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think I know him.
Those things I don't like that much.
That's, like, a little dangerous, a little painful.
Yeah, I don't want to see that that much.
But, yeah, I love the magician side of him.
Okay.
Magic was so good.
Wow.
中国人おじいさんの特訓
You know the Chinese man that waxes, that does not feel pain in his balls?
What?
Never seen him?
The movie you're talking about?
No, not the movie.
No?
Yeah, that, yeah, that exists as well.
But I'm not talking about that, like, an actual Chinese man who has trained his balls
by hitting it every day.
And now he has come to a point where you do anything to the balls, it doesn't hurt.
Wow.
No, I didn't know that guy.
And I don't, I don't know, I don't understand.
You don't need to know.
Yeah, I mean.

Oh, no.
You know the wood, chunk of wood used to bang the Otera.
The ring?
The big ring.
Yeah, the big, boom.
Yeah.
He uses that to whack his balls.
And he's okay.
That's his, that's his special skill.
Oh, yeah, obviously it's a special, but.
Don't have to do that.
What?
Is he teaching this to his students?
Yeah, he's probably teaching his students to have, like, stronger balls.
No.
Pretty crazy.
He's 60, 70 years old?
He thinks it's good for his health.
No.
I don't think.
I don't think so.
I don't think that, yeah.
Oh, look at his students.
He's all looking painful.
Oh, that is painful.
The students looking fucking.
Crazy.
All the students are getting hit with a ball.
They're kicked in a ball.
Look at that.
Oh.
China can be really wacky sometimes.
Yeah, right.
China can be really, like, out there sometimes.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Yeah, it's amazing.
Very creative.
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hope it's not bad for his health.
Yeah, no, I hope it's okay, you know.
For his, like, I don't know, like, shoulder end.
I mean.
I wonder if he's still fertile, you know.
I wonder if he still is.
All right.

Thank you.
Bye-bye.
