Paper Chase Day (4) Monday, December 5
1) neat desks This is one of the first pieces of the advice that I read for people, young people going into businesses. "Keep your desk neat and as empty as possible." One book even went into how to do that saying, "take out the folder you need, for the the work you are doing now, and the materials you need, only for that work, and when you finish, put it away before you take out the next one." But come to think of it, it sounds like what parents tell their kids, "put your toy away before you take out a new one." ダンプカー（和製英語） 英語ではdump truckという 2) think out loud 思っていることを口に出して言う。しゃべりながら考える。 It's also called "talk to yourself." But that sometimes has a little bit more negative meaning. He always talks to himself. 独り言を言う。 3) My boss is talking only to himself and to God today. 4) I've also heard that it's...it's okay to talk to yourself. The time to start worrying is when you begin answering yourself. 5) on earth 一体全体 In the sentence, the phrase "on earth" is used as an intensifier. ”Is there anything on earth?...of all the things on earth?” --------------------- Vocabulary Building --------------------- 6) retrieve （動）・・・を取り出す、（情報を）検索する A similar word is "fetch". "Fetch" tends to be used with dogs. It's the word English speakers use to tell a dog to go pick something up and bring it back. Sometimes people use it for themselves, like "Oh, I forgot the salt. I'll go fetch it." Or it can also be used to talk about how much someone paid for something you're selling. You can talk about what price it fetched.

It sounds a little more formal than "fetch." ----------------------- 7) That's all for today. 8) Thanks for listening. お気に入りの記事を「いいね！」で応援しよう
