| Tomoyuki: そうですね。これは「蛍の光」ですね。 |
| Jessi: The title of the song is “蛍の光” or "Glow of the Fireflies'". |
| Tomoyuki: よく、デパートとかショッピングセンターとか図書館とかの営業時間が終わるときに、「蛍の光」のメロディーを聞きます。 |
| Jessi: そうですね。In Japan, when public facilities such as libraries or shopping centers close for the night, they play the melody of "Hotaru no Hikari". |
| Tomoyuki: ジェシーさんは、この曲を知っていますか？ |
| Jessi: そうですね。YouTubeで探して聞いてみたら、「あ、聞いたことがある！」と思いました(笑) |
| I searched for it on Youtube and listened to it, and realized that I did know it. |
| Tomoyuki: ああ、そうですか(笑) |
| Jessi: はい。 |
| Tomoyuki: では、単語を勉強しましょう。 |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Jessi: Let's take a closer look at the usage of some words and phrases from the dialogue. 最初の言葉は？ |
| Tomoyuki: ゆっくり |
| Jessi: "slowly" "at ease" The adverb "ゆっくり" basically has two meanings. The first meaning is "slow", or "slowly." |
| Tomoyuki: For example, “ゆっくり話してください” means "Please speak slowly." |
| Jessi: Right. The other meaning describes a situation where one does something at a leisurely pace, where they take their time. |
| Tomoyuki: これは「リラックスして」と似ていますね。 |
| Jessi: And when encouraging someone to take their time when doing something in an extra formal situation, the polite prefix "ご" comes before "ゆっくり". |
| Tomoyuki, can we have a sample sentence? |
| Tomoyuki: ごゆっくり、どうぞ。 |
| Jessi: "Please take your time," "Please relax." or "Please enjoy!" |
| Tomoyuki: In the dialogue, the announcement said.... |
| ごゆっくりお買い物をお楽しみください。 |
| Jessi: Please take your time and enjoy your shopping. |
| OK. Listeners, listen and repeat after Tomoyuki. |
| "Please take your time and enjoy your shopping " |
| Tomoyuki: ごゆっくりお買い物をお楽しみください。 |
| Jessi: (Wait for 5 sec.) Great. OK. What are we looking at next? |
| Tomoyuki: 閉店 |
| Jessi: This means the "closing of a shop". |
| The meaning is quite obvious from the Kanji. The first Kanji means "closing" and the second Kanji means "shop" or "store". |
| To clarify, this can mean both a store closing for the day, AND a shop closing down for good. In this dialogue, though, it has the first meaning - the shop closing for the day. |
| Tomoyuki: そうですね。じゃあ、反対の言葉をチェックしましょう。 |
| Jessi: Let's check the word with the opposite meaning. What's the opposite of “閉店”. |
| Tomoyuki: 開店. |
| Jessi: "opening of a shop". |
| Tomoyuki: The first Kanji is "opening" and the second Kanji is "shop" or "store." |
| Jessi: Can we hear them again? "closing of a shop" is? |
| Tomoyuki: 閉店 |
| Jessi: And "opening of a shop" is? |
| Tomoyuki: 開店 |
| Jessi: OK. On to the grammar section. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Jessi: The focus of this lesson is listening to an announcement giving information about the closing of a shop. |
| In this grammar section, you'll learn how to express one's gratitude in an extra polite manner using the humble verb "いただく". |
| Tomoyuki: In the dialogue, the announcement said... |
| 本日はご来店いただきまして、誠にありがとうございます。 |
| Jessi: "Thank you very much for coming to our store today." |
| Tomoyuki: この「いただきまして」が、このレッスンのポイントです。 |
| Jessi: First of all, let's explain the humble verb いただく. |
| "いただく" is the humble form of the verb "もらう", which means "to receive." |
| Tomoyuki: 例えば、For example “先生に英語を教えてもらいます”. |
| Jessi: This is a formal sentence meaning "I will have the teacher teach me English". |
| Tomoyuki: If you said “先生に英語を教えていただきます”. |
| Jessi: The sentence becomes even more formal. "I will humbly have the teacher teach me English". |
| Tomoyuki: You can express your gratitude using “いただく”. |
| Jessi: Right. The formation is ”[て form of a verb] ＋いただきまして＋ありがとうございます". |
| Tomoyuki: 例えば、For example, “教えていただきまして、ありがとうございます”. |
| Jessi: Literally, "I humbly had you to teach me and I appreciate it." Of course, it means "Thank you for teaching me". |
| OK. listeners, listen and repeat after Tomoyuki."Thank you for teaching me" |
| Tomoyuki: 教えていただきまして、ありがとうございます。 |
| Jessi: (wait for 5 sec). Great. Tomoyuki, can we hear the sentence from the dialogue again? |
| Tomoyuki: はい。ご来店いただきまして、ありがとうございます。 |
| Jessi: "Thank you for visiting our shop." |
| Tomoyuki: Did you notice that “して” was dropped? |
| Jessi: Right. The original sentence is “ご来店していただきまして、ありがとうございます”."Thank you for visiting our shop." But “して” has been dropped. |
| Tomoyuki: Right. That “して” is often dropped. |
| Jessi: OK. Listeners, listen and repeat after Tomoyuki. "Thank you for visiting our shop." |
| Tomoyuki: ご来店いただきまして、ありがとうございます。 |
| Jessi: (Wait for 5 sec) Sounds good! |
| Tomoyuki: では、もう一度アナウンスを聞いてみましょう。 |
| Jessi: Let's listen to the announcement part again to see how much you can understand now. |
| 本日はご来店いただきまして、誠にありがとうございます。 |
| お買い物中のお客様に、ご案内申しあげます。 |
| あと5分で閉店のお時間でございます。 |
| 最後までごゆっくりお買い物をお楽しみください。 |
| 当店は、本日の営業を終了いたしました。 |
| またのご来店を、心からお待ち申し上げます。 |
| ご来店ありがとうございました。 |
| Tomoyuki: 皆さん、Japanesepod101.comをいつも聞いていただきまして、誠にありがとうございます。 |
| Jessi: Wow, that's a great sample sentence! Oh, I have a good one, too. |
| 皆さんのコメントを、心からお待ち申し上げます。We eagerly await your comments! |
