From NPR news in Washington. I’m Noore Rahm. George Harrison has died after a
battle with throat cancer. The guitarist was often called a quiet Beatle, after the Beatles
broke up and embarked a solo carrier. But his most claimed work, the three albums,
sat all things must pass.
One of the two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney said today he was devastated, calling
Harrison, a lovely guy, a very brave man. George Harrison died yesterday at friends
home in Los Angeles. He was fifty-eight.

George死んじまったね。

今日の番組で流れた番組がWebに一部上がってますね。

Afghan delegates meeting in Germany since Tuesday have moved closer to an
agreement on a makeup of a post-Tariban Government in Afghanistan. The
BBC's Mike Olderedge(*) reports from Bonn. On the officials of the United
Nations who are sponsoring the talks said late last night, "We are
approaching the time when the threads are coming together." The full
delegations which are trying to decide whether they can all go along with
the plan when interrim supreme chancellor or parliament and an interim
executive wanted more time for consultations last night. So what was
expected to be a key session was delayed until today. The UN's hope is
that they will agree in Bonn on the composition of both bodies. Until
now the main differences of being over issued such as who should hope
the top positions and how long should it elapsed before the holding of
a loyal Gordiger(*), a traditional Afghan assembly, which would chart
the way for the rest of the political transition.

George Harrison 11/30/2001 NPR
This is Morning Edition from NPR news. I’m Bob Edwards. George Harrison, the
youngest Beatles and the lead guitarist died yesterday at Los Angeles after a long battle
with cancer. He was fifty-eight years old.
Harrison’s song, “Something” sold more than a million copies when it released as a
single in 1969. When the Beatles made a US debut five years earlier, Whole of the
American fans listed him as a favorite Beatles. He’s also known as a quite beatle.
Remaining the shadow of outgoing John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Harrison told
BBC that part of the reason was that they wrote so many good songs.
It was difficult for me to write some sort of crummy songs, and expect the Beatles to
recording, already having such fun to you with. And also to do a song with Beatles is
always a matter of alternative song you filled. They don’t understand quickest you’ve
songs you could get onto the tape , quickest , not necessarily the song you’ s always the
best.

文法的に間違ってて、
絶対そうは言ってないだろう、って所があるよ。

Ooops. There is a typographical mistake. My bad.
"Quit Beatle" should be "quiet Beatle." Is that what
you meant? Why don't you just come out and say it
instead of beating around the bush.

Future of the Japanese royal family ways about six and a half pounds and yet has no
name, crown princess Masako has giving birth to a baby girl, who were likely sent to the
imperial throne. A change in Imperial House Law would be required, though. Japan had
not had empress in more than two hundred years. Kenneth Ruoff, teacher in Japanese
studies Portland States University in author of the book “The People’s Emperor”
“Democracy and Japanese Monarchy”.
Professor Ruoff, thanks for being with us.
Good morning.
Now the crown price and princess have, according to press reports, and as how they
know, have been trying to have a child for eight years. This is grand news for them, isn’t
it?
Oh, yes, it is. And they are reportedly thrilled.
Well, what do you think it happens now so that the baby would glow up one day become
the Empress?
Well, it is the Imperial House Law, which stipulates that the only male can be
descended as a throne. And this law can be changed by a simple majority vote in the
Diet. And public opinion pole suggests that it’s very very strong majority Japanese
would welcome reigning empress.
And I guess have to remind yourself two hundred years ago, women could not vote in
the United States as far as that goes, and that this would probably (be) seen as an
exceptional sort of findings.
Absolutely.
Tell a little bit about the parents, if you please.
Well, crown princess Masako was educated at three of most elite universities in the
world, graduating from Harvard College, and she’s certainly the first carrier woman
ever to entering to the Imperial House. And crown prince Naruhito himself has quite
international education, ‘cause he spent two years studying in England. And both of
them are, crown princess Masako was about to ready to turn to thirty-eight and crown
prince is forty-one right now. So they are approaching middle age.

ですね。さあ、寝よう・・・と）

<<trying to do the sort of song you thought they'd understand…>>

(1) You asked if it is saying "you'd thought." No, it isn't.
If you listen to George's accent (from Liverpool), you'll
notice that his "D" is very hard. I don't believe he could
slip in a "you'd thought" without it being very, very clear.
He would have a pause or a glottal stop or something.

(2) You asked if it is saying "they don't understand." No, it
isn't. Listen to the liaison of "they'd understand" and how
noticeable that "D" is. Because the "D" and the "und-" of
understand is blended, it could sound like the word "don't"
to someone who isn't used to this accent.

<<tape the quickest, so not necessarily the song you thought was the best.>>

(3) You asked, is there "so" after "quickest"? Maybe. However,
in George's accent, the "T" sound is very soft, almost aspirated.
After "quickest" I can't tell if he is saying "so" (he might be)
or if he is just breathing, or if it is a hangover of "ssss" from
the ST blending into the next word.

NPR 12/10/2001 Billy Joel – Piano Lessons

No words just notes on a new CD from Billy Joel written in a classical mode. Pianist
Richard Joo plays at set of Fantasies & Delusions composed by the singer song writer
POP rock superstar. Billy Joel started piano lessons at age four on an old Lester upright
in the living room. At sixteen he “Stopped his lessons, I discovered girls,” he says. Now
at fifty-two, Billy Joel goes back to his beginnings, the classical training he got from his
teacher on a Long Island.

Francois Nehman was her name. She also taught ballet. So it made me interesting in
more educations on my way to piano lessons, you know, Billy was true to. So actually,
eventually learned how to box. Because I got tired being beat up.

And did not come to her let you do, when you start doing Rack ’n Roll, the fact you foot
study classical music, isn’t it a great thing …..

For the beating up for me. That’s shelves. For you can’t be ignored of frantic rock ‘n
rollers. You studied music, you too, classical piano lessons , well, yea. That’s the music
I like. You know, what all twentieth century popular song writing hearkens back to
ninetieth century, a lot axiomatic music.

With this recording, I’ve read reviews where they say very reminiscence of Chopin, very
reminiscence of Debussy and Schumann, and unwillingness, this was supposed to be a
kind of put down. Oh it is too reminiscence Chopin, but my notes.

It could be worth being compared to Chopin?

What’s wrong with that? That’s how I thinking was he’s been not studying Rachmaninof
much. Thank you very much.

I heard you on current, are you recording long ago and far away in your first cut. Are
you ever..
DADADADA…

In the revory? DADADA LI DADA… but I go away from it.

If one would go strictly the top Hollywood films that take place in the United States,
you’ll draw this conclusion about Americans; we are all dutiful, we all drive very large
cars, we live in beautiful homes by beautiful areas of country, and of course we are all
carrying guns which we are fully prepared to use when we need to find a solution to a
problem. Film-makes spurred at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in
Washington DC,

>>54 1:00
Max Alberay says Hollywood films presenting powerful, if not sometimes distorted
sources of information about America. He spoke at a recent conference in Washington
over one hundred full-bride scholars from sixty countries. A full-bride program is an
on-going US governmental initiative that sends American researchers abroad, and
invites foreign scholars to the United States. It was named to the late chairman of the
US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, J. William Full-Bride. Author in the professor
Benjamin Barballa also spoke at the conference, he remanded at America’s exports
including Hollywood films don’t always reflect the nation’s cultural and political
strength. 1:40

どなたか続きやりませんかあ？この続きもまだたくさんあるよ。

>>54 1:40
We see Mickey Mouse. We see McDonald’s. We see Hollywood. Sometimes I’m confused
because America sells abroad and projects abroad the image of its cheapest and
torturoust and least precious commodities, and makes a secret of all its great strength:
its multi-culturism its civic faith, its values, its tones.

2:04
For good or bad, American films due provide windows to some aspects of American
culture and values. And over the past decade, the international audience has become
central to Hollywood success. Mr. Alberate says US films are shown in more than one
hundred fifty countries. He adds that the foreign market is now responsible for well
over fifty percent of Hollywood film’s income.

2:29
In 1998, it was not uncommon for Hollywood film to earn in theaters one and half times
overseas what is earned theaters in the United States.
Mr. Alberates says this was not always the case. Before World War II, only one-quarter
of Hollywood films revenues was generated overseas. However, since the ninety-fifties,
the overseas’ market has been increasingly lucrative for Hollywood studios. Allan
Silverman who covers Hollywood for VOA concurs* Mr. Alberates and further explains,

concur* to agree; have the same opinion

3:03
International box office has now exceeded the domestic take for the American studio’s.
And this is a major turn around of last decade. If you went back to the late 1980’s and
early 1990’s, you would see that the studios considered the international market place.
Sort of gravy*, it was not really something that was very profitable for them.

gravy* sl. esp. AmE something pleasing or valuable that happens or is gained easily

But they discovered that people loved to go to the movies. And in many countries in
which democracy has been established where there were formerly governments that
were more controlling of the media. Film audiences have mushroomed dramatically, and
as a result, more than fifty percent of the profit come into American studios. Now
coming from the international marketplace. 3:46
