同僚と飲みに行こう

Let's go drinking with a co-worker after work
仕事の後に同僚を飲みに誘おう
最近日本でもHappy Hourという言葉が定着しつつありますが、アメリカではTavern(バー)イギリスではPubに行く事が多いです。またアメリカではBeer、イギリスではAle(少し色の濃い,発酵方法の異なるビールの一種)を主に飲みます。ビールのことをアメリカではスラングでBrew、Brewskies(日本でもBreweryとビール会社のことを言いますね。)、ビールの生樽をKegと言い、アメリカの大学の学生寮等では週末にKeg Partyを良くやります。

Shall we grab a drink and a bite to eat? I can tell you about the new supervisor coming next week you asked me about. Uh, you owe me, right?

自然な表現

Shall we grab a drink and a bite to eat? I can tell you about the new supervisor coming next week you asked me about. Uh, you owe me, right?

1. Alternative expression: I can fill you in on the new supervisor coming next week
Yes, I'd love to, I'm starving. Let's go! Where would you like to go? Is there a place nearby you'd recommend?

I'm still looking for a nice place. Do you have your likes and dislikes?

自然な表現

I'm still looking for a nice place. Do you have any preferences?

1. This is a better way to say if you are asking about what he wants to eat. If you are asking about food in general, you should say 'do you have any foods you dislike', everyone has food they like so you don't need to ask about that.
Oh, I'm not really picky, but I've been craving seafood, so can we go somewhere that serves seafood?

That sounds good. Raw fish isn't my favorite, so how about a Spanish bar? The restaurant is famous for its roast or grilled seafood. Then, can I invite Ken too? He is meant to be the designated driver, as usual.

自然な表現

That sounds good. Raw fish isn't my favorite, so how about a Spanish bar? The restaurant is famous for its roasted  and grilled seafood.  Can I invite Ken too? He is supposed to be the designated driver, as usual.

1. You should use adjective form to describe something.
2. You should use 'and'. The restaurant is famous for both, grilled and roasted seafood.
3. 'Then' is not needed.
4. This is a better word choice. It means he is intended to be the driver.
Oh, grilled seafood goes well with a cold beer, can't wait. Yeah, call him, it's great he doesn't drink. How far is the bar from here?

It takes five minutes on foot. It is on the first floor with an open terrace in a small building next to the fire department. I get cold easily, so the inside might be better. Is your partner okay with your sudden business dinner? Doesn't he wait for you to prepare something to eat? I always try to spend more time talking with my husband and thinking less about work. Yet, today is special.

It takes five minutes on foot. It is on the first floor with an open terrace in a small building next to the fire department. I get cold easily, so an indoor table might be better. Is your partner okay with your sudden business dinner? Doesn't he wait for you to prepare something to eat? I always try to spend more time talking with my husband and thinking less about work. Yet, today is special.

1. This is a better way to say it, you want to get a table inside the restaurant.
It's closer than I thought. Sounds nice, too.
Well, actually, Steve is away on business. He'll be back this weekend. It's just me, myself, and I at my place so it's great to have friends to go out with.

Here is Ken. Oh, no! He is being a lady, wearing pantyhose. What? The first drink is complimentary for women.

自然な表現

Here is Ken. Oh, no! He is dressed as a lady, wearing pantyhose. What? The first drink is complimentary for women.

1. This is a better word choice since you are talking about his clothes.
