ALTIPLANO CENTRAL.

MARGARET: Mr. Wilson, I’d like you to meet 
Dr. Edward Smith.
MR. WILSON: It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Smith.
DR. SMITH: Pleasure to meet you, too.
MARGARET: Dr. Smith is an economist. He just finished
writing a book on international trade.
MR. WILSON: Oh? That’s my field, too. I work for the 
United Nations.
DR. SMITH: In the Development Program, by any chance?
MR. WILSON: Yes. How did you guess?
DR. SMITH: I’ve read your articles on technical assistance. 
They’re excellent

LANGUAGE NOTES
• Mr. Wilson, I’d like you … Notice the rising intonation on “Mr. Wilson,” which is used 
to address someone. Listen for the “d” in “I’d like.” This means I would like, which is 
very different from I like. (“I’d like” means the same as “I would like” or “I want.”)
• Dr. Smith is an economist. Notice the stress on “economist.” This content word has 
new information, so it is emphasized. There are four syllables in “economist,” with the 
stress on the second syllable (e-CON-o-mist).
• He just finished writing … “just” means the very recent past. “Just” is usually used 
with a simple past verb because the action is complete. However, it can also be used 
with the present perfect (He’s just finished writing …).
• Development program. Since these two words make a compound noun, the main 
stress falls on “development.”
• By any chance? Means the same as “possibly.” Notice the rising intonation, which is 
used in yes/no questions to confirm that something is true.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
前回、92のPodcastでは、粉もんの話をしました。
ですので、食べ物シリーズでいきます。

今日はトンカツについて。
みなさんはトンカツ、知っていますか？

豚カツ（とんかつ）は、厚みのある豚のロースやヒレのスライス肉を、小麦粉・溶き卵・パン粉をまとわせて油で揚げた料理のことをいいます。

「とんかつ」・「とんカツ」・「トンカツ」・「豚カツ」などいろいろな表記がありますね。「カツ」とだけ書かれることもある。※カツはカツレツの略です。
豚カツという名前の由来は、“豚”の音読みの「トン」と、フランス料理の"côtelettes"（コートレットの英語読みであるカットレット cutlet）の組み合わせからきています。

「とんかつ専門店」は、ごはん・味噌汁をセットにして「とんかつ」を提供していることが多いです。カツ丼と言って、ご飯の上にのせて出す店もあります。

とんかつには、とんかつソース、ゴマ（すり鉢ですり、ソースに混ぜ、それにつけて食べる店もある）をつけて食べることが多いです。

店や地域によっては、とんかつソースではなくデミグラスソースをかけて供するなど、洋食スタイルのものもあります。

豚かつに添えられることの多い生キャベツの千切りは、消化吸収を助けます。おかわりができる店も多いです。

おかわりは、追加できる、ということですね。
キャベツ、ご飯、味噌汁がおかわりできる店が多いです。

日本のおもしろい食べ物の一つなので、日本に来た時はぜひ試してくださいね！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
