みなさん、お久しぶりです。こんにちは。


私は去年ドイツからベルギーのブリュッセルに引っ越しました。ベルギーはヨーロッパの中心にあり、とても小さい国ですが公用語が３つあります。ドイツ語とフランス語とオランダ語です。ブリュッセルにはフランス語を話す人が多いです。英語を話せる人もたくさんいます。そして、ブリュッセルには日本人がたくさんいるので、日本の食べ物を簡単に買うことができます。これは私にとってうれしいことです。もう一つブリュッセルに住んでいてうれしいことはパンやケーキがとてもおいしいことです。ドイツのパンやケーキも好きですが、わたしはベルギーのパンやケーキのほうがもっと好きです。皆さんはブリュッセルに来たことがありますか？よかったら私のレッスンに来てブリュッセルについて教えてください。ではまた次のエピソードでお会いしましょう。さようなら。

Chinese words in life

PATTY: I’m really excited for Aunt Mary’s surprise birthday party
this afternoon! Aren’t you?
SUSAN: Yeah! How old is she?
PATTY:  She’ll be 55 on May 14 [fourteenth].
SUSAN: Wow! I didn’t know that my mom was older — she’s going
to be 57 on September 2 [second]. Anyway, Aunt Mary’s 
going to be so surprised to see us all here!
PATTY: I know! But we still have to get all the food set up before 
she gets here … OK! We’re all ready now. Shh! She’s here!
ALL: Surprise!


LANGUAGE NOTES
• I’m really excited … Notice the emphasis on “really.” “Really” is used to emphasize the 
adjective “excited” here.
• Birthday party Notice that the normal stress for a compound noun falls on the first 
element of the compound.
• Aren’t you? This negative tag is used to show that the speaker expects a positive 
answer. Patty assumes that Susan is also looking forward to the party.
• She’ll be 55 Notice that “55” is stressed here. This detail answers the question “How 
old is she?”
• Fourteenth Notice that we use “th” for ordinal numbers, starting with 4 [but first, 
second and third]. The stress is on the second syllable [fourTEENTH]. Compare this with 
“fortieth: 40th” [FORtieth].
• She’s going to be ... Notice how this is pronounced like “gonna be.” Instead of four 
syllables “go/ing/to/be” there are three syllables “ga/na/be.”
