Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You are walking through the streets of Budapest, enjoying your time off from school and work, when suddenly, you hear crying and yelling just ahead. As you get closer, you see a Japanese storeowner and a teenage boy screaming loudly at each other! The storeowner is very angry and throws his arms around in fury. You look around you for answers from the crowd…no one is helping in any way. Crying, the teenager sits at a nearby bench, moping. But the storeowner follows him and starts pushing him, yelling more loudly! You don’t know what to do…but you feel you should do something. Pulling out your cell phone, you call the Japanese police station - they can handle it. The dispatcher on the other end asks you in Japanese, “I know you dislike what you hear, but please describe the scene for me so I can tell the police.” You explain in Japanese, “There is a teenage boy, crying and moping. I see a very angry storeowner, yelling and complaining. And there is a scared woman running away, clutching her child to protect him.” Within minutes, the police arrive and have the situation under control. Looks like your Japanese skills just helped make a very negative situation better.

There seems to be a second sentence that included with each example. I can find no translation of that second sentence in the lesson notes, or elsewhere.

wajima-san,
I checked the video now and I understood what you mean.
Sorry for lack of information. Those sentences actually are not part of “example”.
I’ll speak to my team about it. Thank you very much!

Hi wajima-san,
Yes you’re right, these second phrases are not part of the examples sentences and so are not in the lesson notes.
But here are the sentences and translations for the ones from this video:
lonely and moping, moping and lonely: 一人 うじうじ。うじうじ、一人。
madder and sadder, yelling and complaining: 怒り、あきれ、大声で文句を言っている
screaming and trembling, panicking and screaming: 叫んでは震え、おびえては叫ぶ。
tapping his fingers, tapping his feet: 指をコツコツ。足をコツコツ。
checking his watch, waiting impatiently: 時計をちらり、イライラと待っている
I hope this helps!
