“We got any headlines?”の意味は
アメリカの人気テレビドラマ『ホワイトカラー』を観ながらETC英会話のフレッド先生のレッスンを受けています。
天才詐欺師のニールはFBI捜査官ピーターに捕まってしまいます。しかし、制限付きではありますが自由を得るために、ニールはFBIのホワイトカラークライム、知的犯罪捜査のコンサルタントとして協力することになります。
今日はこんなダイアログから。
Jones:
Morning, sunshines. Coffee? What we got? We got any headlines?
Cruz:
Uh, not much. Although they keep bitching about his bible?
Jones:
Could be a debt ledger.
Cruz:
Well, whatever it is, it’s missing and they ain’t happy about it.
Agent:
Hey, guys, we have a situation.
Cruz:
Is that Barelli? What’s he doing down here?
さて、“We got any headlines?”とはどのような意味なのでしょうか。
“We got any headlines?” So, “do we have any headlines?” means “do we have any news?”, like in a newspaper we have headlines.
So, “do we have news about what’s going on?”.
So, “do we have any headlines?”
Instead of saying “we got any headlines?”, you could say “is there news?”, “anything new?”.
Or even very casual, you could say “what’s happening?”, “what’s going on?”, “we got any news?”, “are there any headlines?”.
“We got any any headlines?”, first of all, is not common.
But “I just got back. I just got back from New York. We got any headlines? Is there any more information? Anything new? Give me some headlines.”
headlines (新聞記事などの)見出し.
