次の対話の文章を読んで, あとの各問に答えよ。
(印のついている単語・語句には、 本文の後に 〔注〕 がある。)
Mary is an exchange student from the United States and now she is staying at
Saori's house in Tokyo. Mary doesn't understand Japanese well, so Saori, her younger
brother Taro, and their parents use English when they are with her. They are eating
sushi at dinner now.
Mother: Mary, how do you like Japanese sushi?
Mary: It's very good.
Mother: I'm glad to know that you can eat raw fish.
Mary: I love Japanese food "except for natto.
Mother: Really? Natto is good for your health.
Mary: I know that, but I can't eat it because I don't like the smell of natto.
Taro:
I like natto very much, but I love sushi better than natto.
Mary:
Oh, really? Excuse me, pass me the "soy sauce, please.
Saori:
Here you are.
Mary:
Arigatou, Saori.
Taro:
You speak Japanese well.
Mary:
I know Arigatou but when I helped an old woman a few days ago, she said,
"Sumimasen." What does Sumimasen mean in English?
Taro: It usually means "I'm sorry."
Father: Yes, but in that 'case it means "Thank you." Japanese people often say.
"Sumimasen" when they mean "Thank you."
Mary:
Japanese is very difficult for me.
Mother: By the way, Taro, were you late for school this morning?
Taro: Yes, I was. My teacher, Mr. Oda got angry. He is very "strict.
Saori:
Taro, you often get up late. You should get up earlier.
Taro:
I can't. It's too difficult. You know I love sleeping.
Saori:
Taro:
That's not really a good excuse for being late for school.
Why not? Sleeping is my hobby.
Mary:
Wait, wait. Did you say, "Sleeping is my hobby," Taro?
Taro:
Yes, I did.
Mary:
You can't say sleeping is a hobby.
Taro:
What do you mean?

ページ2:

Mary: In English a hobby is something that you usually do because you enjoy it.
Everyone sleeps to live. So sleeping isn't a hobby.
Taro: Oh, I see. I thought sleeping was a kind of hobby. How do you ask what
someone enjoys doing?
Mary: We ask, "What do you like to do in your free time?"
Taro:
That's interesting.
Father: Here is another interesting example. Two years ago I called an American
friend and said, "I have the tickets you asked me to buy. The concert will start
at one o'clock. Meet me at the front of the Kokubunji Hotel at noon and let's have
lunch." I arrived at the hotel on time. I waited near the reception desk in the
hotel, but he didn't come. When I was going out, I met him just outside the hotel.
He was very angry and said, "Where were you? We have only twenty minutes
before the concert starts."
Mary: Why did you wait near the reception desk?
Father: Because Japanese people call the reception desk "the front."
Mary: You thought the American was waiting there, but he thought that you were
waiting in front of the hotel.
Father: That's right, Mary. I sometimes make this kind of mistake. So. Saori and
Taro, you must be careful about English words which are popular in Japan.
Saori and Taro: All right.
Taro: I want to learn more about English.
Father: (
