Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 180 ”sweet tooth”
無料ビジネス英語学習 For Beginners 第180弾は、”sweet tooth” です。
社内でも抜群の人気を誇るタロウ。
先日のバレンタインデーには、女子社員からたくさんのチョコをもらったようです。
“Hey, you got so much chocolate, Taro. Are you enjoying the chocolate?”
「タロウ、今年もたくさんチョコもらったみたいだね。おいしいチョコを堪能しているかい？」
とジャスティンが言いました。
「ああ、僕は甘いものに目がないからね。」
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, I love sweets.”
これでも全く問題ありませんが、こんな時より自然な表現があるんです。
そこで、
“Yes! I have a sweet tooth!”
「ああ、僕は甘党だからね！」
と言ってみましょう！知っていると便利な表現です。
※甘いものが好きな人のことを「Have a sweet tooth（甘い歯を持つ）」と表現します。
この表現を使う時は複数形の「teeth」でなく単数形の「tooth」になるので、
気を付けて下さいね！
発音もビデオでチェック！
是非この表現を使ってみて下さい。
Hello, everyone and welcome to another Bizmates for beginners video lesson.
I hope you're all having an amazing week,
it was Valentine's Day a few days ago so
hopefully you lucky people out there were able to get some chocolates,
some sweets or celebrate with that special someone.
So the expression that I chose for our lesson this week is
related to sweets and chocolate and that is "sweet tooth."
So what does this mean? How do we use it?
Well, let's find out but first, let's do a quick review to make sure
all of you are still studying hard, okay?
Alright, everyone so imagine I ask: Are you going to change jobs?
How do you respond? You've got five
seconds, okay?
Go.
OK, time is up.
If you said it's still up in the air
then you got it.
Nice job and thanks for studying.
Of course try to use these expressions in your daily conversation
to help you memorize it more easily.
OK, so onto this week's expression "sweet tooth."
And this is what I sometimes hear:
So it's Valentine's Day, okay?
I'm talking to my good friend and colleague, Taro.
And Taro, he's a very popular guy, so I asked him:
Hey, you got so much, chocolate, Taro.
Are you enjoying the chocolate?
And he says:Yes, I love sweets.
OK, so this is fine. There's no problem here.
It's a very natural way of saying this
but in foreign countries - in canada or in America,
you might hear someone saying
Yes! I have a sweet tooth!
And this means you really enjoy eating sweets or sweet food like chocolate,
or candy, or caramel popcorn, okay?
So if you like sweet food,
you have a "sweet tooth." Okay?
Alright so pronunciation, again
nothing special here just as you see it written...
Sweet tooth.
Okay? So please repeat after me
Yes! I have a sweet tooth!
Your turn.
Alright, good job!
OK, now after my question:
Are you enjoying the chocolate?
Exactly, that's right. OK so please remember to study this and use it
and remember it for our review next week.
So our bonus question this week ,everyone is
another way to say: Everyone knows this.
If you know this, leave it in the comments below.
If you don't know this,
you can find it in one of our previous Bizmates for beginners video lessons.
But that is it for me, everyone, this week.
Thank you so much for watching. Enjoy all that chocolate,
alright and have a great weekend. I'll see you next time.
Thank you.
