Hey John, can I talk to you for a minute?

ねえ、ジョン、少し話し時間ある？volume_up

Sure, what's up?

あるよ。どうしたの？volume_up

I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a couple months ago. I know you do a lot of reading so I thought you might want to come with me next month.

数ヶ月前に入った読書クラブの事、教えてあげたくて。ジョン、たくさん本を読むでしょ。もしかして、来月一緒に行かないかなって思って。volume_up

Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?

そう、楽しそうだね。いつ集まるの？volume_up

Usually the last Saturday of the month at 9:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?

ふつうは毎月最後の土曜日、夜の９時半から。遅すぎる？volume_up

No, I think that's ok. What do you talk about in the group?

ううん、大丈夫だよ。みんなでどんな事、話すの？volume_up

Well, every month we choose a new book and then during the next meeting we discuss it.

そうね、毎月い新しい本を一冊選んで、それについて次の集まりで話し合うの。volume_up

What book are you reading now?

今何を読んでるの？volume_up

The Kite Runner.

カイトランナー。volume_up

I've heard that's a good book. What's it about?

それ、いい本だって聞いたよ。どんな事が書いてある？volume_up

It is a good book. I'm almost finished. The book is about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s. It's called the Kite Runner because the main character takes part in a kite flying competition.

いい本よ。殆ど読み終わった。８０年代にアフガニスタンで育った男の子の話。「カイトランナー」って言うんだけど、主人公が凧揚げ大会に出場するから。volume_up

That sounds really interesting. I'd love to come.

本当におもしろそうだね。是非行きたいよ。volume_up

Ok, great. The next meeting isn't for another two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.

わあ、よかった。次の集まりまでにまだ２週間あるから、本を読む時間があるね。volume_up
