SAY IT IN ENGLISH!
Rosa: Okay, here's the first situation. Imagine this.
Situation 1:
明日会社に来訪するクライアントから連絡がありました。「12時30分に空港に到着します」と言う相手に、アシスタントが迎えに行く旨を伝えてください。
例えば
わかりました。私のアシスタントに車で迎えに行かせます。到着出口で彼を待っていただけますか?彼があなたを見つけます。もし何かあれば、私に電話をください。
など
[ヒント] …を車で迎えに行く pick … up / 到着出口 arrival exit
[解答例]
A: My flight arrives at 12:30.
B: Okay. I'll have my assistant pick you up. Could you wait for him at the arrival exit? He will find you. If something comes up, please give me a call.
[解説]
Okay. I'll have my assistant pick you up. Could you wait for him at the arrival exit?
have 以下は説明語句に動詞原形を用いた目的語説明型。上司とアシスタントの関係ですから「静かな動詞」have が使われています。ここができれば大合格です。
He will find you. If something comes up, please give me a call.
come up は「問題などが起こる・持ち上がる」
give me a call は授与型。
気楽に作れましたか?
David: All right! Let's move on to Situation 2.
Situation 2:
友人が泣いています。理由を尋ね、慰めてください。
例えば
ねえ、どうして泣いているの?何か僕にできることがあれば、教えてください。僕はいつでもあなたの味方です。わかっているよね?
など
[ヒント]あなたの味方で on your side
[解答例]
A: (sobbing)
B: Hey, what's making you cry? If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know. I'm always on your side. You know that, right?
[解説]
Hey, what's making you cry? If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know.
最初の文は make と動詞原形を使った目的語説明型。youがcryする状況を making(作っている)ということ。makeに力がかかっている様子をイメージしてください。
anything I can do for you は関係代名詞節修飾です。
let me know は「教えて」でしたね。
I'm always on your side. You know that, right?
on your sideは「あなた側」つまり「あなたの味方で」ということ。
