Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 136 ”keep it up”
初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第136弾は、”keep it up” です。
仕事で行き詰まっている同僚を励ますことってありますよね。
今回は、そんな場面で使える表現をご紹介します。
ヒカは同僚のタロウに言いました。
“Taro, this project is really difficult! I hate it! it’s difficult! ”
「タロウ、このプロジェクトはかなり難しいよ！もう嫌だ！」
「ヒカ、君は良くやっているじゃないか。その調子で頑張れ！」
と言いたい場合、あなたがタロウなら何と言いますか？
“You’re doing a good job. Fight! ”
日本語では、誰かを応援する際「ファイト！」と言うこともありますが、
英語で”Fight”は、「戦う」「争う」などという意味で使われるので、
このシチュエーションではちょっと不自然です。
そこで、
“Hika, you’re doing a good job. Keep it up!”
と言ってみましょう！とても自然な表現です。
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 idiom is
keep it up
What does this mean? We will find out,
but first let's do our test.
OK, so we are colleagues and I ask you:
Can you finish this by tomorrow? This report?
And you say...
Very good. Sorry that's a bit of a stretch.
I hope you got that.
OK let's go on to today's idiom
keep it up
OK? What does this mean? Here's what I
sometimes hear. OK so I say:
Taro, this project is really difficult!
I hate it! it's difficult!
And Taro, he wants to give
me support and he says:
You're doing a good job. Fight!
Fight? Round one!
You know, it's a little bit strange in English to say "fight"
OK, like "ganbatte" right?
So in English we can say this...
So I say:
Taro, this project is really difficult!
I have so much stress.
And he says:
Hika, you're doing a good job.
Keep it up!
Perfect. OK? Keep doing a good job.
Continue your good work.
OK, it's a very common expression.
To give someone encouragement
or support. Keep it up.
OK, let's look at pronunciation it's:
You're... it's not you're doinG a gooD joB
but it's You're doin' agoo' job.
You're doin' agoo' job. Keepit up!
You're doin' agoo' job. Keepit up!
You try...
Perfect. OK, with my sentence:

OK, I'll do my best. Thanks.
Perfect. OK, so for homework next
time I will complain and say:
This project is really difficult!
And you say...
