Point 77 ”Cheer up” 初級ビジネス英会話
初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第77弾は、”Cheer up” です。
仕事で失敗したり、大事なことを忘れてしまったりして落ち込んでいる方は周りにいらっしゃいませんか？
今回はそんな場面で使える表現を紹介します。
例えば、奥さんの誕生日を忘れて奥さんを怒らせてしまったヒカは、同僚のタロウに
“Oh no. My wife is angry.”「はぁ、奥さん怒ってるんだよ。」と言いました。
「元気だして。」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？
“Don’t mind.”「気にしないで。」
でも伝わるかもしれませんが、不自然です。
そこで
“Cheer up.”「元気だして。」
と言ってみましょう。ポジティブで自然な表現です。
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。
