Tip 49 ”stand out” 無料ビジネス英語学習
無料ビジネス英語学習 Words & Phrases 第49弾は、”stand out” です。
仕事ができる、と周りに感じてもらうためには、人より目立つ存在である必要がありますよね。
色々な場に参加し、自分の意見をしっかり述べて、
周りから注目されるようになれば、誰もが認めてくれるようになるわけです。
今回はそんな状態を伝える際に使えるフレーズです。
例えば、部下から
“What do I need to do to get promoted?” 「昇格するためには何が必要ですか？」
と聞かれた際に、「もっとミーティングで目立つ必要があるね。」と伝えたい場合、
あなたならどう言いますか？
日本人は「アピールする」という表現を日本語でよく使うため、
“You should appeal more in our meetings”
といった言い方が思いつくかもしれません。
しかし、英語では “appeal” ＝ 「決まったことに反対する、抗議する」といった意味で
伝わってしまうため、使うべきではありません。
こんな時には、”stand out” ＝ 「（周りから注目され）目立つ」をつかって
“You need to stand out a bit more in our meetins.”
というとすごくナチュラルに、意図を伝えることができます。
ぜひ覚えておいてください！
