Lesson 142 happy の振れ幅
👉 happy の幅広さ▶︎「満足」から「うれしい・幸せ」
Opening で
Roza
▶︎ Hey, everyone. Akino Roza here. We’re happy to have you here
with us.
Chris
▶︎ Chris McVay here. That’s right. And now we’re happy to get started.
Dialogue で
① He’s a real IT wizard.
👉 wizard という表現が出てきましたね。「魔術師」ということですけれど、
「達人・天才」の意味で使っています。
② I hope I can follow in his footsteps.
👉さあ、難しい表現が出てきましたね。follow in his footsteps
– これは「先例に倣う=彼と同じようなことをやる」という意味で、このフレーズが
使われているわけです。でもちょっと、この follow in – in が気になりますね。
Roza, why do you use “in” here?
Roza
▶︎ OK. So image a beach with sand. And there’re footsteps in the sand.
When you follow in someone’s footsteps, it’s like you’re literally putting
in your feet into their footprints.
Practice
.Chris
▶︎ OK, guys. Let’s practice.
Today the word is “happy.” Everybody knows “happy.”
Happy Birthday! Happy New Year! But the thing is it has a wide variety
of meanings. That’s what we want to practice today.
Roza
▶︎ And of course, we want to practice thinking in English.
Chris
▶︎ So let’s keep going.
・I am happy with the presentation.
Here it’s more like satisfied, isn’t it?
Another one with the same nuance.
・I am happy with your proposal.
・I am happy with your resume.
・I am happy with myself.
・I am happy with this job.
Roza
▶︎ Let’s continue.
・I’d be happy to …
So this one is “happy” kind of to show. You know, there’s no problem.
I can do that for you. Sure. Let’s try one more time.
・I’d be happy to …
Chris
▶︎ Moving on.
・I’m happy that you came.
This is the basic “happy,” happy, right? Once more.
・I’m happy that you came.
Roza
▶︎ And this last one.
Of course, here it’s sarcasm. So remember. Don’t use this
as a positive phrase.
・Happy now?
Chris
▶︎ And notice Roza’s intonation, right?
That’s with the sarcasm comes in. Could you say that once more, Roza?
Roza
▶︎ Of course. That’s very important.
・Happy now?
That was great, everyone.
Chris
▶︎ I’m happy with that.
Ending
Chris
▶︎ Hiroto, I see you had a haircut. Why?
Onishi
▶︎ Because you told me to. Happy now?
Roza
▶︎ I guess nobody is happy with the result.
