無料ビジネス英語学習 Words & Phrases 第182弾は、”see eye to eye” です。
誰にだってそりが合わない人の１人や２人、いて当然ですよね。
今回は、「そりが合う（合わない）」「意見が合う（合わない）」といった表現をご紹介します。
ヒカの同僚のタロウは、彼の新しい上司がどうもあまり好きでないようです。
彼もまた、タロウのことがあまり好きでないようです。
“Why don’t you like your new boss? What’s wrong?”
「なんで君は新しい上司が嫌いなの？ 何かあったの？」とヒカはタロウに聞きました。
「考え方が合わないんだ。」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？
“Yeah, I don’t agree with his thinking.”
これでも伝わりますが、”thinking” は「考え方」という意味ではあまり使われませんので

and today's idiom is
see eye to eye.
What does this mean?
Eye to eye.
We will find out
but first let's do our test.
OK, so I'm gonna ask you:
Where did you buy your new bag?
It's very nice.
And you say...
that's right
You missed the boat. The sale is over.
OK, you missed your chance.

see eye-to-eye.
Now let's imagine that I'm
talking to Taro, my colleague
And Taro doesn't like his boss.

and he doesn't like him.
And I asked Taro:
Why don't you like your new boss?
What's wrong?
And Taro says:
Yeah, I don't agree with his thinking.
OK, this is okay.
The English is a little bit strange --
I don't agree with his thinking.
I don't agree with the way he thinks.
I don't agree with his ideas...
because "thinking" is not
used so often like this.
But I can understand
what he's trying to say.
You know, Taro's way of thinking
and his boss' way of thinking
are just completely different.
They just don't match.
OK? In that case, we can say this --
so I say:
Why don't you like your new boss?
What's the problem?
And he says:
We just don't see eye to eye.
Very natural!
You know there is always one
person in the office right
where you just...
the way you think or your personality
are just completely different
you just don't click.
You know, those kind of people.
Well, that's this situation.
You just don't "see eye to eye."
OK, lets look at pronunciation.
It's not "we jusT" but it's
We jus'...
We jus' don' ...
We jus' don' see eye ta eye.
We jus' don' see eye ta eye.

I see. Well that's too bad.
OK, perfect! For homework next time,

Why don't you like your new boss?
And you say...

OK, please remember this and
we will see you next time. Thank you.
