Hey Michael, I'm tired. Would you mind driving for a while?

ねえ、ミシュエ−ル、私疲れてるんだ、少し運転してくれない？

Sorry. I would like to, but I don't know how to drive.

ごめんね。してあげたいけど、運転の仕方知らないの。

Really? You don't have a license? I thought everyone had a license.

ほんとう？免許証持ってないの？皆持ってるって思ったけど。

No, I've lived in cities all my life and when I'm at home I usually take the subway or bus.

ううん。私生まれてからずっと街に住んでたし、今家から地下鉄かバスを使ってる。

I see. Do you think you'll learn to drive in the future?

そう。いつか運転習うと思う？

Yes. I plan to buy a car next year. I think you need one in the U.S.

うん。来年は車を買うつもり。アメリカでは必要だと思う。

Actually, now that I think about it, a lot of people in cities here take the bus also.

考えてみると、実際都会に住んでいる人はバスよく使うね。

Well, I'd like to travel more. I've been here for a few months already and I feel like I haven't seen anything yet.

でも、もっとあちこち行ってみたいし。もう数ヶ月ここに住んでるけど、まだどこにも行ってない気がする。

How are you going to learn to drive? Do you want me to teach you?

どうやって運転勉強するの？教えて欲しい？

No, I wouldn't want to trouble you. I've already signed up for a class near my house. It starts next month.

いいよ、迷惑かけたくないから。家の近くのクラスのもう申し込んだんだ。来月から始まるよ。
