Judy, your husband has a really nice car.
ジュディ、ご主人はすごくカッコいい車持ってるね。
Thanks. It's a lot better than mine, and it's new.
ありがとう。私のよりずっといいし、新しいわ。
Where are you going?
どこに行くの?
We're going to visit my sister in the city.
町に住んでいる姉を訪ねるの。
I didn't know your sister lives in the city, when did she move there?
へえ、お姉さんが町に住んでるって、知らなかったよ。いつ引っ越して来たの?
About a year ago. She lives in an apartment on 3rd street, across from the public library.
1年ぐらい前。3番街のアパートで、図書館の向い。
I see. It's almost 5:00 PM now, don't you think there will be a lot of traffic?
そう。そろそろ5時だね。きっと渋滞だと思わない?
Oh, we're not driving. We're going to take the subway. The subway only takes about 20 minutes.
ああ、車では行かないわよ。地下鉄で行くのよ。20分ぐらいで行けるから。
Yes, but it can be very crowded around this time. I always feel uncomfortable taking the subway.
そうだけど、この時間って込んでない?地下鉄ってどうも慣れないな。
I take the subway to work everyday, so I'm used to it now.
仕事に毎日地下鉄で通ってるから、もう慣れたわ。
Doesn't your mother live in the city?
お母さんは、町に住んでいなかったけ?
Yes, she's lived there for about ten years.
うん、10年ぐらい住んでるわよ。
I remember when she moved there. Apartments were a lot cheaper then.
覚えてるよ、お母さんが引っ越して来た時のこと。あの頃はアパート、ずっと安かったね。
I know what you mean. It's hard to find anything that's reasonable now.
うん、全く。最近は安いアパート探すの、大変ね。
Have a good time. Next time you're free, give me a call and we'll go play poker.
じゃ、楽しんで来てね。暇な時に電話して。トランプでもしようよ。
See you later.
じゃ、また。
