初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第17弾は、”Take care of yourself.” です。
具合が悪そうな人に対しては、「気を付けてね（お大事にね）」と相手を気遣う声をかけますよね。
例えば、部下から
“I’m not feeling well. I’m going to go home.” 「具合が悪いので、帰宅しようと思います。」
と言われた際に「了解、気を付けてね（お大事にね）。」と言いたい場合、あなたならどう言いますか？
“OK, be careful.”
といった言い方が思い浮かんだ人もいるかもしれません。
でもこの言い方だと相手は「何か（危険なものに）注意しなければならないのかな？」
といった変な懸念を抱いてしまうことでしょう。
こんな時には、
“OK, take care of yourself.”
と言うのがナチュラルな言い方になります。
ぜひ覚えておいてください！
