Narrator

Frank is at a wine tasting. A friend recommended a white wine from a small mountain winery.

フランクはワインの試飲会にいる。友人から、小さな山のワイナリーの白ワインを勧められていた。

Frank01

My friend recommended this white. Could I try some?

友人にこの白ワインを勧められたんです。少し試せますか?

Sommelier02

Of course. Here you are. You might notice apple and pear.

もちろんです。どうぞ。リンゴや洋ナシの風味を感じるかもしれません。

Frank03

Oh, that's lighter than I expected. I like it.

ああ、思ったより軽いですね。気に入りました。

Sommelier04

It's lovely with dinner, too.

食事にもよく合いますよ。

Frank05

I'd like some for home, and a bottle to thank him. How much?

自宅用に何本かと、彼へのお礼に1本欲しいです。おいくらですか?

Sommelier06

Twenty dollars each. Ten percent off if you buy six.

1本20ドルです。6本なら10パーセント引きになります。

Frank07

So six would be a hundred and eight dollars?

では、6本で108ドルですか?

Sommelier08

Exactly.

そのとおりです。

Frank09

One for him, five for dinners at home. I'll take six.

彼に1本、自宅での夕食用に5本。6本お願いします。

Sommelier10

Shall I wrap the gift bottle separately?

贈り物の1本は別に包装しましょうか?

Frank11

Yes, please. He'll appreciate it.

はい、お願いします。喜んでくれると思います。

Sommelier12

Your friend clearly has good taste.

ご友人は、確かに味の分かる方ですね。

Frank13

Yes. He has the taste. I have the discount.

ええ。センスは彼、割引は僕です。
