  • Can you still remember Kim?
  • Yes. How can I forget? She was my seatmate in row 3.
  • seatmate
    "seatmate"は"seat"と"classmate"を組み合わせた語で、教室で隣の席同士になった親しいクラスメートのことを指す。「シートメート」
  • Didn’t she go to America after college and pursued her masteral there?
  • masteral
    "masteral"は"master's degree"のこと。「修士号」
    Didn’t she go to America after college and pursued her masteral there?
    "Didn't she go to America after college and pursued her masteral there?"は米英語では"Didn’t she go to America after college and pursue her master's degree there?"となる。
  • Yes, she did. But you know, I heard her marriage seemed to have failed.
  • And I heard she’s filing for divorce.
  • Another sad thing is, her mother had hypertension.
  • Really? That’s so sad.
  • Is there another woman involved?
  • I really don’t know the details but I heard from one of her friends that she finally decided to end her marriage.
  • She must have gone through a lot. It’s best to end a marriage if it’s not working.
  • What do you think?
  • I guess if they can still work it out, they should not file for divorce especially if they have kids.
  • What will happen to their family?
  • Well, partly you are right.
  • But you see if they are not happy with each other, where in they cannot settle their differences,
  • where in
    "where in"は標準英語では"wherein"と表記し、書き言葉で「そこで」「その場所に」という意味になる接続詞だが、フィリピン英語では"where in"で名詞節や副詞節を導く接続表現として使われることがある。
  • they would rather part ways.
  • But I still believe that they should have fought for their marriage.
  • They made a lifetime vow, right?
  • But you know,
  • there are some things which aren’t meant to last, like marriage.
  • It’s sad, but that’s reality.
  • Well, we are all entitled to our own opinions.
  • You know what, friend, I feel like eating dirty ice cream.
  • dirty ice cream
    "dirty ice cream"とはフィリピンの路上でソルベテロスというアイス売りが移動式の屋台で売っているアイスクリームのこと。スーパーで売っているブランドのアイスクリームと比べて工場で作られていないものなので「汚い」というイメージがついてしまい、このような名前がついた。昔懐かしの味ということでこちらを好むフィリピン人も多い。
  • Yeah, me too!
