Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 170 ”lovey-dovey”
初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第170弾は、”lovey-dovey” です。
ジャスティンとタロウ達の同僚、高橋さんは、最近結婚したばかり。
いつも奥さんとの仲良しエピソードを同僚たちに話しています。
“Taro you know Takahashi-san has a really good relationship with his wife.”
「ねぇタロウ。高橋さんってさ、奥さんとすごく仲良いよね。」
「うん、ラブラブだよね～。」
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？
“Yes they’re really love-love!”
「ラブラブ」は日本で、とりわけ若者たちの間で聞き慣れた表現ですが、
英語ではこのような表現は使わないんです。
そこで、
“They’re really lovey-dovey.”
と言ってみましょう。
人前でも気にせずアツアツ、イチャイチャなカップルなどを表す表現です。
ぜひこの表現を使ってみてください。
Hello, everyone! Justin here and welcome to another Bizmates for Beginners video lesson.
This week everyone we are going
to learn the expression lovey-dovey. So what is lovey-dovey and how do we use it?
Let's find out. But first, let's do a quick review to make sure you remember
last week's expression.
Okay, everyone. So imagine I say, "That company's reputation isn't very good".
How do you respond? You have five seconds.
Okay? Go!
...and times up.
If you said,
"Yes...it's a sketchy company!"
Then you got it!
Nice job and thank you for remembering last week's class.
Okay, everyone. Moving on to today's expression "lovey-dovey".
This is what I sometimes hear. So again, I'm talking to my good friend and colleague Taro.
And I say, "Taro you know Takahashi-san has a really good relationship with his wife."
And Taro, he agrees so he says, "Yes they're really love-love!"
Okay, so this is a really interesting and unique expression that
I've heard used many times in Japan, but unfortunately,
we don't have this expression in English. So what should we say?
That's right you got it,
They're really "lovey-dovey".
Okay, when someone shows their love and affection
for somebody even if it's in front of some people they are very lovey-dovey.
Okay, so pronunciation is ery simple
not so tough. It's just as it is written
here. Lovey dovey. Okay, everyone? Please repeat after me.
Lovey-dovey. Good. Okay, now after my sentence.
"Takahashi-san has a really good relationship with his wife."
Exactly. That's right. They're really lovey-dovey. Okay. Alright, so please
remember this expression for next week's review
Okay. Today our bonus question is, another way to say: "get angry very fast."
How do we say this in a better way?
