10月のテーマも前置詞③
👉10月も引き続き
前置詞の勉強を続けます。
Lesson 131 to のイメージ ③：感情とのつながりほか
👉 to のイメージ「到達点」▶︎ to one’s ＋感情、その他の表現
Opening で
Roza
▶︎ Akino Roza です。Chris, it’s your turn!
Chris
▶︎ I know, Roza. Why are you saying that?
Chris McVay here, everybody. Let’s get started.
Dialogue で
① I want to take you on a tour of Ogikubo today.
👉さあ、ここで take 人「人を連れて行く」というフレーズが出てきましたね。
take 人 to 場所 というパターンには、慣れていらっしゃるかもしれませんが、
ここでは take you on a tour of Ogikubo today となっていましたね。
▶︎ tour という行為が行われる stage が想像されるため、on となっている
わけです。
② It’s my first time here.
👉さあ、これは「わたしの初回です・初めてです」 It’s my first time.
このフレーズですね、しっかりと覚えておきましょう。
③ First, I want to show you a historical landmark to the left there.
👉さあ、ここでは show you a historical landmark とありましたよね。
double object – 目的語を２つとった授与型の形です。「あなたに a historical
landmark を見せる」というわけですね。
▶︎そして、historical landmark というのは、「史跡・歴史的建造物」だという
わけですね。
④ historical と historic
👉さあ、historical と historic という２通りがあるわけですけれども、クリスさん、
What’s the difference between these two?
▶︎ OK. I think you remember we talked about the difference between “classic”
and “classical.” And this is similar. “Historic” means something really important
or momentous that happened in history. Whereas “historical” is talking about
a period of time, history.
After the Dialogue
Roza
▶︎ You know, I want to thank you guys on a tour of our textbook today.
Unfortunately, we don’t have enough time. So please check it out
for yourself.
Practice
.Chris
▶︎ Hey, are you ready to practice? Yes, let’s get started.
This time we’re looking at “to” expressing a connection with a variety
of emotions. And also expressing the extent of something.
So with that in mind, let’s practice together.
・to my disappointment
・to my disgust
・to my delight
・to my relief
And one more.
・to my satisfaction
All kinds of emotions, as you can see.
Roza
▶︎ And in the next few examples, we’re talking about “extent.”
The point up to which something holds.
So keep that in mind here.
・to a certain extent
・to the best of my knowledge
・to my heart’s content
Chris
▶︎ And the last few examples.
Actually, point to the end point, point to the end itself.
For example, …
・It’s a quarter to seven.
・ten days to Christmas
And our last one.
・30 kilometers to Tokyo
OK. How did you do, guys? Like things you did brilliantly.
Roza
▶︎ Fantastic work, guys.
Ending
Onishi
▶︎ Hey, guys. Could you explain the nuance of “certain” in
“to a certain extent”?
Roza
▶︎ Sure. Well, for example, in No.2 “I agree with you to a certain extent.”
There is “a certain extent.” I know how much I agree with you.
And I agree with you up to the point.
But that amount is not certain to the listeners.
Chris
▶︎ I think it’s helpful, Roza. Re-compare with “some.”
You know, we often say “to some extent.” That’s very blurry.
(?) “ぼんやり” kind of meaning.
Words and Phrases
① momentous
👉重要な
② blurry
👉ぼやけた、不鮮明な
これで、
Lesson 131 は終了！
