Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 118 ”Hang in there”
初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第118弾は、”Hang in there.” です。
問題やトラブルに直面している同僚を励ますことってありますよね。
今回はそんな時に使える表現をご紹介します。
ヒカは仕事で大きな問題を抱えているようです。そこで同僚のタロウに言いました。
“I can’t figure out this problem. So stressful.”
「どうしてもこの問題が解決できない！すごいストレスだよ。」
「頑張って！」と言いたい場合、あなたがタロウなら英語で何と言いますか？
“Don’t give up.”（諦めるなよ。）
これでも伝わりますが、まさに今、必死で解決しようと頑張っている人に対して
「諦めるなよ。」と言うのは、あまり相手を思いやっているとは言えませんよね。
そこで、
“Hang in there.”
と言ってみましょう。とても適した表現です。
発音もビデオでチェック！
ぜひこの表現を使ってみてください。
Hello and welcome to this Bizmates for
beginners video series and today's
phrase is "Hang in there." Hang in there. What does this mean? We will find out but
first let's do our test. OK, so I asked
you "Hey, why can't we login our system?"
Something is wrong with this. You say "IT
is trying to... figure it out." That's right!
Figure it out.
OK, let's look at today's phrase "hang in
there." OK here's what I sometimes hear --
So let's imagine that I have a problem
OK, it could be any problem. And I say: I
can't figure out this problem. So
stressful. And Taro says:
Don't give up.
OK. Don't give up. Keep fighting. This is OK but I
don't feel very good when I hear that.
Don't give up. I'm not giving up. I'm
trying hard. So, when someone is trying
hard and you tell them don't give up its
not a good phrase. "Don't give up."
OK? Maybe the other person will feel very
bad.
A more natural supportive, phrase is like this --
so if I say: I can't figure out
this problem. It's really hard. and Taro says:
Hang in there. Hang in there. It's like don't
give up. It's like that "ganbatte" hang in
there. But it's better than "don't
give up." I don't feel bad. OK, so let's
look at pronunciation. It's "Hangin..."
Hangin there.
Hang in there. You try... Good. OK, with my sentence: I can't figure out this problem.
OK, I will. Just like that. Hang in
there. OK, for homework. So, I will say
I can't figure out this problem and you say...
That's right. "Hang in there." OK, let's
remember this and we will see you next
time. Thank you.
