The Browns ブラウン家(The+〜s) You have a full wardrobe of clothes 君の洋服ダンスにはいっぱい服があるじゃない。 stuff もの ※thing(s)と同じ意味だが、stuffは不可算名詞なので複数形はない。 outfit 服 art exhibition 美術展覧会 I’m all dressed well. 僕はもう服 appropriate ふさわしい(suitable) I can’t take this anymore. 我慢できない、付き合っていられない option 選択肢 *** Script *** Nothing to Wear A husband and a wife are going to visit friends. A woman is searching for a suitable outfit. The man is ready to go, and is impatiently waiting for her. W: (looking through her dresses) No, no, no, hm… not this one… Dear, maybe this one? M: What’s the difference? It doesn’t matter. The Browns invited us for seven o’clock… We’ve got only 10 minutes. No more time! W: And I have nothing to wear to The Browns!?... M: You have nothing to wear? You have a full wardrobe of clothes! W: The Browns have already seen me wearing all this stuff! M: Well, what’s wrong with this outfit? I think it’s new… W: The thing you call “an outfit”… I’ve been to the theatre wearing it, and Mrs. Brown saw me there! So I won’t wear this one! M: What about this one? Black with flowers—good, in my opinion! W: Last month I went to an art exhibition, and there was Mr. Brown’s sister. She saw me wearing this! M: Ah! Every time we go somewhere we have the same problem. I’m all dressed well, and I have to wait for you to choose a dress? W: Because I want to be unforgettable for everyone, and always be fashionable! So, let’s continue searching for some appropriate clothes… M: Ah! I can’t take this anymore. You have nothing to wear? You can go naked! I don’t care what you wear, and nobody cares! W: Oh, hey, that’s a good option… but Mr. Brown already saw me like that… M: (shocked voice) Whaaat? W: Oh, nothing, nothing. Never mind... Hey, this jacket looks good too!
