Point 80 ”hang out” 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80弾は、”hang out” です。
特別な目的もなく、友人に会ったり、遊んだりする機会ってありますよね。
今回はそんな際によく使われるイディオムを紹介します。
例えば、ヒカは同僚のタロウに
“What are you doing this weekend?”「今週末、何してるの？」と聞きました。
「友達と遊ぶんだ。」と伝えたい場合、あなたがタロウなら英語で何と言いますか？
“I’ll just play with my friends.”「友達と遊ぶ。」
でも伝わるかもしれませんが、不自然です。
play は、子供と遊ぶという際によくつかわれる表現です。
そこで
“I’ll just hang out with my frineds.”「友達と遊ぶんだ。」
と言ってみましょう。よく使われる表現です。
