Dialog 1 on the horizon [ もうすぐだ、兆しが見えて ]
| Angela: | Hey, I love your new car! How's the gas mileage on it? |
| Yukio: | Fantastic! It's a hybrid so it runs on both gas and electricity. |
| Angela: | Environmentally-friendly cars are so expensive right now, but fortunately more affordable ones are on the horizon. |
| Yukio: | For the Earth's sake, I definitely hope so. |
Dialog 2 the big picture [ 全体像、大局 ]
| Yukio: | How much is the mortgage on your house every month? |
| Angela: | I'm renting so I don't have a mortgage. I'd have to pay more every month if I bought a house. |
| Yukio: | You have to look at the big picture and realize that, in the long run, it's cheaper and better to own your own home. |
| Angela: | Well, if I don't like it, I guess I could rent it out or sell it, too. Okay, I'll go and buy a house! |
