ダッド
海外ドラマで英語リスニング学習中
Narator: Kids, I bought the house we live in now way back before I ever met your mother. It needed a lot of work, but I had a vision for it.
Ted: Vintage rolltop desk here. I haven't decided whether to put the fern on the right or the left side, but you know, sometimes you just gotta wing it. Right? Left side. Oh, and right outside, I want to put up a basketball hoop for the kids.
fern シダ wing かりたてる
Barney: Ted. This is your seduction lounge. sex swing there, vibrating Jell-O pit right there, rotating Vietnamese Shame Wheel right here. Don't ask; you're not ready. And that basketball hoop? Outdoor stripper pole. We'll just tell the ladies to be careful in the winter. You think a tongue stuck to a frozen pole is bad...
seduction 誘惑
Marshall: Hey. Barney, let's go outside for a second.
Lily: We have a confession. This wasn't really about seeing Ted's house. It's an intervention.
Barney: Oh, thank God. I'll go first. Ted, this house you bought for your hypothetical family is super weird. We talk about it all the time behind your back.
Ted: Yeah. This intervention isn't for me. It's for you
Narator: Why did Barney need an intervention? It all started a few nights earlier. A few nights earlier...
Marshall: Barney, I can't believe your giant TV is broken. It's March Madness.
Ted: Okay, uh, I think I see what the problem is. Barney, can you grab me a screwdriver?
Barney: Sure thing. Luis. Barney Stinson, 12 H. I got a hundred bucks if you can be here in five. Thanks.
Lily: You call the super for a screwdriver?
Barney: Yeah... here's the thing about me and tools... the only one I know how to use is attached to me, and I am not going to try putting it in the TV. Again.
Ted: Okay, that's ridiculous. Everyone should know how to use tools.
Barney: Well, here's our screwdriver now. Guys, I'm pretty sure that's not Luis, but I can't be certain. Someone introduce yourself.
Jerry: Barney, I... I got your letter.
Barney: Dad?
Marshall: I can't believe Barney is talking to his dad right now.
Robin: Yeah, what do you say after three decades of not seeing each other?
Lily: "So, how 'bout those last 30 Super Bowls"?
Ted: Okay, now I feel bad about making fun of him for the tool thing. My dad was the one who taught me all that stuff.
Robin: Well, to be fair, everyone has some glaring gap in knowledge, something really obvious you somehow never learned.
glaring 明白な
Ted: Okay, but a screwdriver? Come on, I don't have any gaps that fundamental.
Robin: Really? I seem to recall...
Ted: Daniel Burnham was an architect whose ever-shifting style and aesthetic made him a true architectural chamma-leeon. And only the most gifted chamma-leeon could've designed classic beaux arts masterpieces right alongside sleek modern flatirons. His name might as well have been Daniel Chamma-leeon.
aesthetic 美学
Student: Um, Professor? Uh, do you mean "chameleon"?
chameleon 気分や
Ted: Betty, I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "chamma-leeon," so... Class dismissed. No homework. For a while.
dismiss 却下する
Ted: Okay, I learned that word by reading it. That's how I've always pronounced it.
Robin: Ted, that wasn't easy. It took a lot of "ch-aracter" to admit that.
Ted: Okay, Scherbatsky. You want to tussle? I'll tussle.
tussle 取っ組み合いをする
Robin: You want to tussle? Let's tussle.
Ted: Marine biologist.
Robin: Please, no.
Scott: So this really sucks, but I'm going to be in the North Pole for the next three months.
Robin: Seriously? The North Pole? Okay, pal, if you want to break up with me, just tell it to me straight. Don't pretend you're going someplace we all know doesn't exist.
Scott: Um, I'm going to be studying the mating habits of...
mating habits 交尾の修正
Robin: Of who? Santa's elves? Rudolph? You know what? I'm going on a trip, too, Scott. It, uh, starts in Narnia. It works its way up to Candyland, and then, hey, congratulate me, because I'm the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. Expelliarmus!
Scott: Robin, the North Pole is a real place. You know that, right?
Robin: So... you want to get pizza later? Or...
Scott: I think we should break up.
Robin: I still think about him in the shower.
Ted: Hey. Tell us everything. How'd it go, bud?
Barney: Where do I begin?
Where do I begin? どこからはじめようか?
Jerry: So, I'm not sure how to start this.
Barney: Yeah. I think I need a drink.
Jerry: Me, too.
Both: Glen McKenna, neat.
neat 酒に水や氷を入れない
Jerry: Nice order. Up top.
Up top ハイファイブ
Barney: Look, it's been 30 years. And now you just show up out of nowhere? This is... this is going to take me a minute.
Jerry: Yeah. I understand. By the way, hell of a tie. Is that Italian silk?
Barney: I love you, Daddy. I'm so glad we're best friends now. Make a muscle.
Jerry: There you go.
Barney: Ah!
Barney: Guys, my dad's awesome. He's the mother of all fathers. Check this out.
Barney: Hey, back when I was a kid, you used to be a roadie. Do you still do that?
Jerry: Not anymore. Back in '83 I'm lugging amps for The Stones through West Germany, and their tour manager loses his arms, bus-surfing through a tunnel.
lug 運ぶ
Barney: Gnarly.
Gnarly いかす
Jerry: Long story short, I've been managing tours ever since, and that dude high-fives people with his face now.
Barney: You're funny. My dad's funny.
Barney: So, all these years, there's this one question I've been dying to ask him.
Lily: Why did you abandon me?
Marshall: Why'd you wait so long to contact me?
Robin: You've hurt me before, why should I trust you now?
Barney: Do you... get laid a lot?
Jerry: Big-time. Observe.
Barney: Oh, my God, that took you five seconds.
Jerry: Oh, was it that long? Life's too short for chatty chicks.
Barney: You're a master. You are legen... wait for it...
Barney:...daddy! Legendaddy! The man is a god. And he's still out there, living the dream.
Jerry: So I'm going to Sydney tomorrow with Bon Jovi. I'll be on the road the rest of the year.
Barney: Oh, that's cool.
Jerry: Say, you want to join me for the tour's Asian leg?
Barney: This is going to be the second-most fun I've ever had on an Asian leg.
Lily: Barney, we... we know you're psyched, but just... be careful.
Barney: What do you mean?
Ted: Well, this guy has flaked out on your whole life. It sounds like he just might be telling you what you want to hear.
Robin: Barney, we just don't want to see you get hurt.
Barney: First of all, Robin, my dad could beat up your dad. Second, you don't have to worry. He's cool. Now if you'll excuse me... I have to go renew my passport, and get a travel-sized rotating Vietnamese Shame Wheel. Don't ask; you're not ready.
