Conversation

Ayako is giving Erin advice on what to wear to her job interview in Japan.
Ayakoは日本の就職面接にどのような服を着ていけばよいか、Erinにアドバイスしています。

Ayako:  So, your interview’s tomorrow, right?
じゃあ、面接は明日なのね？

Erin: Yeah, tomorrow morning.
そうよ、明日の朝よ。

Ayako: What are you wearing?
何を着ていくの？

Erin: My red suit.
赤のスーツ。

Ayako:  Um, but Erin, people usually don’t wear red suits in Japan.
でもErin、日本では普通、赤のスーツは着ていかないわ。

Erin: Really? But I don’t have anything else with me!
そうなの？でも、他に持ってないし。

Ayako: You can wear my suit if you want.
もしよかったら、私の着てもいいわよ。

Erin: What does it look like?
どんな感じの？

Ayako: It’s a black jacket and skirt.
黒のジャケットとスカートよ。

Erin: What size is it?
サイズは？

Ayako: It’s an eight.
8号よ。

Erin: OK, that’s good. Does the jacket have pockets?
それなら大丈夫だわ。ジャケットにはポケットついてる？

Ayako:  Yeah, it has two in the front.
うん、前に2つ。

Erin:  Perfect. Can I borrow a shirt, too?
完璧ね。シャツも借りられるかしら？

Ayako: Sure, you can wear my gray, striped, collared blouse if you want.
いいわよ。グレーでストライプの襟のあるシャツを貸してあげるわ、もしよかったら。

Erin:  Great. Should I wear heels or flats?
よかったわ。ヒールを履いたほうがいい？それともフラットシューズ？

Ayako: Hmm, I think heels are better.
そうね、ヒールのほうがいいと思うわ。

Erin: Thanks so much. What would I do without you?
どうもありがとう。あなたがいなかったら、大変だったわ。
