イントロ

Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.

Today we’re studying the second half of the scene we did last week from The Wild Ride.
This movie came out in 1959, so there are some words in there that I recognise … but I’m not sure how often people still actually use them. So they might not be especially useful, but they’re still fun to study – and you can always try throwing them into conversations just for fun to see what happens.



For example: buster.

The police officer says to Johnny: Your luck’s running out, buster.

It says here that buster is used to speak to a man you do not like. For example: Get lost, buster!
I quite like the word buster it sounds cute … but I’ve never actually used it myself.

Another thing the officer says is: beat it.
Beat it is an idiom which means go away. You might know it from the Michael Jackson song.
I’ve never said beat it to anyone – I don’t think people really use it in New Zealand. People usually say go away or something slightly stronger.

And before he leaves Johnny calls the officer a far out stud.
Far out is a word that I’ve used. It means excellent or unusual … and you can also use it to express surprise, like really.

It cost me almost 200 bucks. Far out, man, that’s expensive.







STICK NEWS

Kia ora in Stick News today the lead singer of Poison was injured at an awards show on Sunday night after he ran into some scenery.


Brett Michaels is the lead vocalist of a band called Poison. On Sunday he sang at an awards show called the Tony Awards. After the song Michaels fell down after being hit by a piece of stage scenery. Wikipedia says that when the singer turned to exit the stage, a descending piece of the set hit him in the head before he could duck under it, knocking him on his back. He suffered a fractured nose and cut lip.

And that was Stick News for Tuesday the 9th of June.
Kia ora.

Word of the Day

Today’s word is pin.

This is a pin.

And pin is also a verb.

To pin something on someone means to fix blame or responsibility on.

The officer tells Johnny that they know that the crash was his fault.

But Johnny says to the officer: You can’t pin it on me.

Which means something like you can’t charge me because you don’t have any evidence.







conversations with sarah

　You think that’s funny?

* From 7:20



Officer
Alright, that’s enough. Officer Neely is in the hospital, more dead than alive.
もういい。　Neely警官は重傷で今病院にいる。

Johnny
Nasty break.
ふざけるな。

Officer
You think that’s funny?
面白いと思うか？

Johnny
Doesn’t matter whether I think it’s funny or not. It hasn’t got anything to do with me.
オレが面白いと思うか思わないかなど関係ない。　その件に関してオレは無関係だ。

Officer
Johnny, we know you put him there.
ジョニー、お前がやったのは分かっているんだぞ。

Johnny
You can’t pin it on me.
証拠もないのによく言うぜ。

Officer
No we can’t. But you’re through breaking the law.
確かに証拠はないが、お前は法を犯した。

Johnny
Sarge, I don’t break the law. I make my own.
法は犯していない。　やりたいことをやっただけだ。

Officer
Well that’s not good enough. Your luck’s running out buster. We’re going to stick with you and we’ll get you.
よし、もう良いだろう。　貴様のツキもこれまでだ。　逮捕する。

Johnny
You, Sarge, you’re a big man.
許してくだせー。

Officer
We’ll get you kid. Even if we didn’t you’d get yourself. Now beat it.
このクソガキ、逮捕じゃ。　我々が逮捕しなくてもそのうちくたばるはずだ。　うせろ。

Johnny
Sarge, Sarge, I wanna tell you something. You’re a very far out stud.
だんな、いい情報がありまっせ。　いやー、だんなは渋いっすねー
