Say It in English
Ex1)
あなたはボーイフレンドと、明日、高尾山を登る計画を立てていたが、天気予報では雨の予報、ガッカリする彼に
気持ちはわかるけど、天気についてはどうしようもないわ。私の家に来て、私と恋愛映画を一気に見ない？きっとすごく楽しいわよ！
The forecast is saying we’ll have heavy rain tomorrow. What a bummer!
― I can understand how you feel, but there’s nothing we can do about the weather. Why don’t you come to my place and binge-watch some romantic movies with me? It’ll be a lot of fun!
*bummer:失望させる不快な状況
Ex2)
ネイティブスピーカーの子どもは、文法を学ばなくても英語が話せるでしょうという学生に、英文法学習の利点を伝える
言っていることは分かりますが、私の見方とは異なります。子どもたちは理想的な環境にありながら、母語を獲得するのに何年もかかります。私たちにはそんな時間はありません。そして文法は私たちにすばらしい近道を与えてくれるのです
Do we really have to learn English grammar? It’s so boring.
― I can see your point, but that’s not how I see it. It takes children years to acquire their native language，even though they are in an ideal environment. We don’t have such time, and grammar provides us with a great shortcut.
