「爺さま、どうだった？」「ぼちぼちね。でも、先生が『手を握ってください』って言ったらちゃんと握るらしいから、言われてることはわかるみたい。元気になってくれるといいんだけど」の英語

"How was Grandpa?" "Not great. But apparently when his doctor asked him to grab their hand he held it quite firmly, so he seems to at least understand what is being said to him. I just wish he'd return to normal though."

"How's Grandpops?" "Not so good. But when the doctor told him to squeeze her hand, he seemed to do it, as if he understood what she told him. I hope he gets well soon."

"I guess you just slept through our last class." "Yeah, I wasn't able to keep myself awake any longer. Do you think the teacher noticed?" "They didn't seem to notice, but you completely dozed off, so all the boys were laughing about it." "Yikes. That's probably even worse."

"I just ran into a friend today who had transferred schools a while back." "Cool!" "Yeah. Then, we talked about movies, and they suggested we go watch one sometime soon. Is that OK?" "Sure! But, is this friend a boy or a girl?" "....."

"Feels like I haven't seen you in forever. You doing good?" "Yeah, I'm good. I've been so busy lately I haven't had much time to spare. Right now I'm at a hospital in the waiting room, and I had a bit of time so I thought I'd shoot you a message."

"...Hey...Hey, teacher!" "Eh? Oh." "Are you really OK? Shouldn't you cancel the lesson?"

"I got angry again today" "hmph" "They said some very weird things again, are you listening?"

"You need to return home soon.", "huh, just give me a little more time to play!", "Sorry, but if we are late I will get scolded by your mama"

"Eep, my shirt's on backward! Hold on, you already knew, didn't you? Why didn't you tell me? I literally just gave a big lecture looking like this!" "Well, they say ignorance is bliss. I just figured it'd be best if I didn't say anything."

"Mom, I'm going out to play basketball for a bit." "OK. Bye." "See ya!" "Take care out there, and be back before dinner." "I will."

"What made you decide to become a doctor?" "I was interested in the human body, and I wanted to help other people."

In middle school, I was talking with my therapist, and seeing as we were having such a great talk, I suddenly thought "There's a chance", and I tried to get a kiss. But she told me to stop. Then, as I headed to my next class, I felt so embarrassed.

When I went to the dentist, he told me to raise my hand whenever it hurt, but when I did he waved me off and told me to hang on a minute. So what was the point of him telling me that earlier?

In my secondary school days, I was much impressed by how my hospitalised grandfather would often tell the nurses there, "Thank you, I appreciate your help."

"Ah, y-yes ... Sorry, Coz." "Hey! You might be my relative but here I'm your senior and a doctor. Keep things straight while you're in the hospital!"

I was surprised when I got a call from my daughter's workplace, saying that she had suddenly collapsed. She had struck her head, so I was worried, but was relieved when I was notified by the hospital that they had found nothing wrong with her.

"Shall we go for a glass of wine somewhere?" "I've got to go home. My husband and children are waiting to have their dinner with me."

"I couldn't sleep last night because that cat wouldn't shut up with its meowing." "Same. I woke up, too." "And apparently my neighbor couldn't take it anymore either. When he yelled at the cat to shut up, it ran away, but I was so startled I couldn't go back to sleep."

"I think it is exhausting, but todays troubles will surely be rewarded" "Don't say such half-minded things, even if you don't believe them completely."

I have a tendency to overeat, so I'm somewhat overweight. So, to get me to lose weight, my dad, who's experienced with this, started me on a diet. In this diet, neither my dad nor I will eat breakfast. It's been hard at first, but if I keep going, I'll get used to it and then I'll be able to do it just fine.

When I was in middle school, I was talking with my therapist, and we had such a great talk that I thought "Maybe there's something between us", and I tried to get a kiss. But she gave me the cold shoulder and told me to stop. It was at this moment I knew I had screwed up.

"If you are sleepy then you should go to bed" "I am still not tired" "But all you have been doing is yawning for quite some time, you should go to bed to avoid overworking yourself." "You want me to go to bed that much?"

"You're late back today." "Yeah... I got caught up in a conversation when I met an old friend on the way back and now look at the time!" "I'm hungry." "I know, I know. I'll get straight to making it now."

"Your work has been causing a lot of complaints from customers; I'm ordering you to leave immediately." "Oh, up yours! I didn't want to work here in the first place."

When I was in elementary school I thought, from the bottom of my heart, that the teachers were great people and I was influenced by the teachers' attitudes and moral lessons, but middle school was just a business like any other.

"Mom, why do you like this house so much?" "Hmm, I don't really know why." "What?" "Oh, never mind that. Now eat your food."

"You should write a novel or something." "Nah, I don't think so. I can't see myself coming up with anything good, anyways."

"Your work has been causing a lot of complaints from customers; I'm ordering you to leave immediately." "Oh, up yours! I didn't want to work here in the first place."

That little house looks just like the little house my grandmother lived in when she was a little girl, on a hill covered with daisies and apple trees growing around.

"Hey, Kameko, don't you have a conscience?" "No." "You don't...? You don't have a conscience...?" "I had one, but now I don't."
