755しばらく放置気味だったけど、久々に再開😃 これからは日記ぽく気ままに英文書いていこうかな😳 不定期更新（笑） Today’s mission is complete.😎 A 2days’ business trip to Osaka has just been over. This time, again, I had the chance to see my business friend from Scotland whom I met with 2-3 weeks ago. ☺️ I visit Osaka almost every month regularly, after I left the city where I had lived for about 10 months. Yesterday evening when we finished working on site, we made an appointment to have dinner at Indian restaurant near our hotels. So we checked in each of our hotel that we booked separately. And arranged the time to meet at the restaurant. Unfortunately, when I was in the hotel, I had some extra work to do (taking business related phone calls and writing reports), then some time passed when I realized I was late for the appointment 😱 I hurried to the restaurant, but here, the disastrous thing happened 😨 I followed the copy of link that my friend sent me earlier, walked along the road which appeared on my google map, but never got to my destination. Because I kept my friend waiting for so long at the restaurant that he contacted me saying that let’s cancel today’s appointment and have dinner next time😅 Even though I missed the opportunity to have dinner with him, he was not upset about it 😃 At the end of the day, I realized that he is more friend than just a business relationship by which we are connected in the first place. After working together for almost a year, we various things that matter to both of us. In these days, he suggested me to have a better paid job, encouraging me that I deserve it 😃 I get what he meant by saying that 🙄 As a matter of fact, even I work so hard, he knows that my contribution to my company is too much regarding my salary 😂 He always says that I can double or even triple my salary if I try to look for a good company.😳 If that’s gonna happen, I would like to give it a try 😎 Or, maybe in the future I wanna be self-employed, working not for company but for myself 😃

    少し難しかったり長い文になってるので、
    追加で今日は…

    助動詞を使った疑問文、否定文を見てみようかな？

    代表的でよく使う表現だと、CANって助動詞があるよね

    意味的には可能(できる)不可能(できない)って訳すのが1番最初に習うけど、実はたくさん意味を持ってて奥が深いのがこの、CAN

    でもひとまず難しい部分は抜きにして、肯定、否定、疑問文をそれぞれ見て行くと

    I can go to Nishitetsu Hall by myself.
    (自分一人で西鉄ホールまで行ける)

    I can’t go to Nishitetsu Hall by myself.
    (1人では西鉄ホールまで行けない)

    Can you go to Nishitetsu Hall by yourself?
    (西鉄ホールまで自分一人で行ける？)

    3つの文で、上２つの肯定と否定は語順も代名詞も同じだから分かりやすいね

    唯一canにnotがついて、否定文になり、不可能を表してる
    can'tまたはcannotどちらでも可。

    ちなみに、by 〜selfは、1人でって場合もあれば、〜あなた(方)だけでって複数もあり得るよ、なぜならyourselfの場合、1人または複数の場合もあるから😉

    あと、疑問文にはこれ以外にも否定疑問文てのもある

    Can't you go to Nishitetsu Hall by yourself?
    (あなたは1人で西鉄ホールまで行けないの？)


    疑問文作るときに注意するのは、答えが肯定文、否定文の文になるように質問するから、代名詞がyouに変化してるね

    それと、助動詞Can,Can'tが文の最初に来て大文字に😊、文末はピリオドが?に変化してます。

    否定疑問文に対する答え、よくこんがらがる事がある

    というのも、Yes, No 疑問文でこの否定疑問文に答えると、はい、いいえが逆になるから😨

    Can’t you go to Nishitetsu Hall by yourself?

    Yes, I can. (いいえ、私は1人で行けます←yesなのにいいえ😳)
    No I can't.(はい、私は1人では行けません←Noなのにはい😅)
    否定疑問文の時はこのことにしっかり注意して、質問とその答えをしっかり頭で考えて訳す、適切な英語を使いましょう😊

    さて、ついでに、会話で発音の時、canに比べてcannotは強めに発音する傾向がある、って覚えとくと👍

    会話の時、どの単語(主語だったり助動詞だったり、動詞だったり…)にストレスを置く(強調)するかで、話す意味に違いが出るので😃

    今日はちょっと最近の話題、今年の総選挙についての記事、見つけたのでスクショ載せてみよっかな

  • Daiji

    下から順に…🙏🙏🙏

    主題のブルーの文は、普通に訳すと、
    (AKB48は今年、「世界選抜総選挙」を実施します)って感じかなぁ…

    ニュース記事などの主題では、特殊な文体を使うんだけど、この文もそう

    AKB48 to hold~って書いてあるよね←動詞(述語どこぉ？)😨ってなるけど、これは英語の記事を書く時の約束事があって、文を短くインパクトあるように、って考えられて定着したことみたい(どうでもいい豆知識)😅

    ニュース記事じゃなかったら、この文はどう書かれるか？

    おそらく違和感ない普通の英文にしようとすると、
    AKB48 is going to hold~がしっくり来ると思う😊

    ニュース記事以外にも、英語の使われる場面によって、独特の言い回しってあるなぁ、って感じるのは、外国の映画を英語で見てる時…

    若い人だとひょっとして観てなくて知らないかもだけど、スターウォーズに出てくるジェダイマスター、ヨーダってしわくちゃのめっちゃ強いお師匠さんがいるんだけど…😅

    このヨーダって登場人物の話す英語、語順が一般的な英語の語順と違う😳って、何度か観てて違和感感じてた…

    で、ある時、なるほど！これは倒置法だ！って気付いた😀

    例えば、彼は強いぞ！って英語で言うと、

    He is strong!
    だよね❓

    これを、
    Strong, he is!
    みたいに言うヨーダ😂

    はじめの頃は語順が変だな、って不思議だった😅

    でも、倒置法だと分かれば、強調したいのは「強いぞ！」って部分なんだなぁ…ってすごく納得できた☺️←英語勉強してて嬉しい、楽しい瞬間❣️


    今日はちょっと趣を変えて豆知識とか自分の体験談について書いてしまって長くなったので、明日も引き続きこの総選挙の話題についての記事、勉強してみようと思います

    今日はあまり内容が無くてm(_ _)m

    Sorry for I had forgotten updating this column 😅(昨日は更新できず、すみませんでした)

    When I noticed it this morning, I felt like, oh my goodness.😱(朝更新忘れに気づいて、やっちまった〜！って思って😂)


    There’s a news that JKT 48 members are not going to join and run for the Election this year, because the country’s religious reason makes them difficult for running the Election.(今年の総選挙、JKT 48 のメンバー全員は、宗教上の理由で参加を見送ることになった、というニュースがありましたね😢)

    For the members and Indonesian fans, it was regrettable, and I feel sorry for them, as well.(JKT メンバーとインドネシアのファンのみなさんはがっかりされているでしょうし、私も残念に思います😔)

    I hope there will be another opportunity for them to join the event in the future, because they cannot run for the Election this year.(今年だけじゃなく、いつかまたチャンスがあるといいですね)🙏

    Good evening😉
    こんばんはー😉

    Today, I’ve worked overtime, about 2 and a half hour longer than ordinary days.
    今日は残業、普段より約2時間半くらい頑張った😅

    I was so tired, but on my way home, when I looked up in the night sky, there was a beautiful moon 🌙, casting bluish white light.
    疲れてたんだけど、帰宅途中にふと夜空を見上げると、綺麗な月が出ていて、青白い光を降り注いでいたよ☺️

    It’s getting hotter these days during the daytime.
    最近、昼間はだんだんと暑くなってきてるね😅

    The temperature in Nagoya was about 25 degrees centigrade at the top.
    名古屋の最高気温は、摂氏約25°にまで上がったよ😳←わざわざ摂氏(centigrade or Celsius )をつける必要はないけど、アメリカとか一部の国では華氏(Fahrenheit)温度を採用してるので、一応区別するために😃

    When the dusk comes,
    夕暮れになると

    the breeze felt so good.
    風がとても心地良かった😆

    I’ve also enjoyed watching cherry blossoms on my way home.
    帰りに桜の木を眺めながら散歩もしたよ😳

    755しばらく放置気味だったけど、久々に再開😃

    これからは日記ぽく気ままに英文書いていこうかな😳

    不定期更新（笑）


    Today’s mission is complete.😎
    A 2days’ business trip to Osaka has just been over.

    This time, again, I had the chance to see my business friend from Scotland whom I met with 2-3 weeks ago. ☺️

    I visit Osaka almost every month regularly, after I left the city where I had lived for about 10 months.


    Yesterday evening when we finished working on site, we made an appointment to have dinner at Indian restaurant near our hotels.

    So we checked in each of our hotel that we booked separately. And arranged the time to meet at the restaurant.

    Unfortunately, when I was in the hotel, I had some extra work to do (taking business related phone calls and writing reports), then some time passed when I realized I was late for the appointment 😱

    I hurried to the restaurant, but here, the disastrous thing happened 😨

    I followed the copy of link that my friend sent me earlier, walked along the road which appeared on my google map, but never got to my destination.
    Because I kept my friend waiting for so long at the restaurant that he contacted me saying that let’s cancel today’s appointment and have dinner next time😅
    Even though I missed the opportunity to have dinner with him, he was not upset about it 😃

    At the end of the day, I realized that he is more friend than just a business relationship by which we are connected in the first place.

    After working together for almost a year, we various things that matter to both of us.
    In these days, he suggested me to have a better paid job, encouraging me that I deserve it 😃

    I get what he meant by saying that 🙄

    As a matter of fact, even I work so hard, he knows that my contribution to my company is too much regarding my salary 😂
    He always says that I can double or even triple my salary if I try to look for a good company.😳
    If that’s gonna happen, I would like to give it a try 😎

    Or, maybe in the future I wanna be self-employed, working not for company but for myself 😃
