Dragon Ball


This is one scene from Dragon Ball (Vol.1, p.63; Story & Art/Akira Toriyama; English adaptation/Gerard Jones; Translation/Mari Morimoto; VIZ Media) .

The Turtle Hermit (Kame Sennin) gives Goku a present -- Kinto'un. He tries to show how to get on the special cloud, saying "Unless you're pure of heart, it'll never even let you on!" (心が純粋でなければ、これはお前を乗せようとすらしないよ)

... but the hermit fails to get on, and the turtle says "Surely it's defective." (きっと欠陥品なんですよ) 

Now Goku's turn. He says "Let me try" (おらにもやらせて) , and he does get on the cloud with no problem.

舞台はファンタジーな世界だけれど、よ~く使うフレーズが満載ですね!図書館で閲覧準備ができたらぜひトライしてみてください。
