Hi,
1. 田中 is interviewing 吉田 about a performance on a TV programme:
田中: あれ、とてもおもしろかったですねえ。ビートルズならビートルズていう人間をいろんなふうに扱っていらっしゃっ て。あれ、ずいぶん長くやってらっしゃいましたよねえ 。
吉田: 本当はあれ、15回の予定だったんです。でも 、意外と好評。
I can understand a few parts of this, but overall my translation turned out as total gibberish. Could anyone tell me what the whole thing means?
2. The speaker has just been praised for her daughter's piano-playing skills:
上手かどうかわからないけど、ともかく好きみたいね。 勉強もあの調子でやってくれるといいんだけど。
I believe the first sentence means "I don't know whether or not she's good at it, but she seems to enjoy it."
Then I am stuck with the next sentence. Not really understanding the purpose of も and で is not helping me. Could it mean something like "I hope she studies so she's able to play that tune properly"?
3. A conversation in a flower shop:
A: お宅のお花、持ちがいいわね。夏場はお花も持たな くちゃね~。
B: ああ、ありがとよ。花もあたしも持ちがいいの。経 済的にできてるのよ。
I cannot make much sense of this. This is my guess, which scarcely makes sense, and is most probably totally wrong:
A: Your flowers are lasting well. One must have flowers in the summer.
B: Thank you. The flowers and I are both lasting well. Business is good.
