Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 174 ”wiped”
初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第174弾は、”wiped” です。
昨日と同じ洋服のままのタロウ。どうやら家に帰らず徹夜で働いていたようです。
同僚ジャスティンがタロウに話しかけます。
“Were you working all night?”
「タロウ、一晩中働いたの？」
「そうだよ！すごく疲れたよ」
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,I’m very tired.”
これでも良いのですが、こんな時もっと自然で、「すごく」疲れていることを強調するのに
ぴったりの表現があるんです。
そこで
“Yes,I’m wiped.”
と言ってみましょう。
この時期、仕事がとても忙しかったり、はたまた一晩中飲み会に参加していたりして、
とても疲れている方も多いはず。是非この表現を使ってみて下さいね。

Hello, everyone and welcome to another Bizmates For Beginners video lesson.
Thank you always for checking out our videos. This week everybody we are going to learn the expression "Wiped".
So, what does this mean how do we use it?
We'll find out but first, as always, let's make sure you are up to date on our most recent expressions.
So, let's do a quick review.
Alright, everyone. So imagine I ask you,"Hey, how was the party last night? Did you"
How are you going to respond? I'll give you five seconds, okay? Go!
And time is up!
If you said, "It was a blast!" then I'm glad you had a nice time and thank you for remembering the expression and using it in our review.
Okay, everyone. So, let's move on to this week's word, "Wiped". Now, this is what I sometimes hear. I'm talking to my friend
Taro and I say, "Taro were you working all night?
It seems like you're wearing the same suit! Maybe you didn't go home?"
And Taro he says, "Yes. I'm very tired."
Well, I'm sorry to hear that Taro.
You're such a hard worker, just like all of you out there. Now this expression, "I'm very tired."
Yeah! It's fine, it's simple, people use it all the time, but you might hear a native
English speaker say something like this,
Yes. I'm wiped! Now, this is really nice, very natural, and it means you're really really tired or really exhausted.
So, if you worked a lot of overtime recently and you're really tired, you're "wiped". Or
maybe you went out drinking all night with your co-workers and today you feel exhausted,
you can also say, "Man I feel wiped!" Okay? So,very natural, very useful expression.
Alright, pronunciation very simple it's just as it is written here but instead
of the "D" sound, sometimes you might hear like a "T". WipeT. Okay? But it's very simple there's nothing too difficult about this pronunciation here so please repeat after me.
Yes. I'm wiped! Go ahead.
Alright, good job everyone. Now after my sentence.
Were you working all night?
Okay, thank you.
Alright good job, everyone. So, hopefully you're not working too hard, okay?
All right, now please remember this for next week's review.
Moving on to our bonus question this week which is another way to say "find the problem". So, if you know the answer leave it in the comments below.
If you don't know the answer, you can find it in one of our previous Bizmates For Beginners video lessons.
Okay, everyone. So, that is it for me this week.
