Tip 73 ”Have a good one.” 無料ビジネス英語学習
無料ビジネス英語学習 Words & Phrases 第73弾は、”Have a good one.” です。
別れ際の挨拶のとき、どういう英語をつかっていますか？
例えば、同僚から
“I’m going home. Good night.” 「家に帰るね。では。」
と言われた際に「またね。」と伝えたい場合、あなたならどう言いますか？
“OK, bye-bye.”
といった表現が思い浮かんだもしれません。
これでも問題はないのですが、”bye-bye” はかなりカジュアルで、
やや子供っぽい表現に聞こえてしまう場合があります。
逆に “Good-bye” は、同僚に対してつかう表現としては
ややフォーマルすぎる印象があります。
こんなときには、
“OK, have a good one.”
というようにしましょう。
とてもナチュラルな言い方になります。

And today's phrase is have a good one.
Very natural. Very simple.
What does it mean?
Let's find out.
But first, let's do our test.
Remember when I apologize to you what do you say?
I'm sorry I didn't CC you on that e-mail.
Ah, it's no big deal.
Did you get that?
OK, so try using this in your office,
Next time they apologize,
hey, it's no big deal.
OK.

What does it mean?
What's that one? Have a good car?

OK, well this is what I often hear.
So Taro and I are colleagues.
And I say, OK, Taro
I'm going home. Good night.
And he says,
OK, bye-bye.
OK, which is OK. But bye bye,
to be honest. I hear it a lot OK.
And ah, it it sounds a little bit childish.
You know,
bye bye. It's like children's English.
A little bit.
OK, it's very very casual.
Bye bye.
Good-bye is actually a little bit formal now.
Good-bye.
Good-bye.
Yeah, it's a little bit too formal.

is this. If I say,
Taro, I'm going home. Good night.
And he says,
OK, have a good one.
And that one actually means night.
