日常会話で役立つ「Make」の用法（中級編）
=================================
　
　先日のコラム『日常会話をよりスムーズにする「Make」の用法35選(https://hapaeikaiwa.com/?p=23243)』では、makeを使った35のフレーズをご紹介しましたが、今回はmakeを使った日常表現「中級者編」をご紹介します。
　
--------------------------------------------------
1) Make out
--------------------------------------------------
　
Make out は「見える」や「聞こえる」、「読める」など何かを認識したり、理解することを意味します。例えば、友達に「あの標識なんて書いてあるか見える？」と聞く場合は「Can you make out that sign?」、その質問に対して「遠すぎて見えないよ」と返事をする場合は「It’s too far. I can’t make it out.」と言います。この表現は一般的に、「〜が見えない」や「〜が判読できない」のように、否定形で使われます。

その他、make out は「イチャイチャする」を意味するスラングとしても使われます。この表現にはディープキスをする意味合いもあり、特にパーティーでカップルがイチャついているのを見たときに、「Omg. Tom and Lisa are making out!（うわ！トムとリサがイチャイチャしている）」のように使われます。なお、キス以上の行為はmake outには含まれません。
　
＜例文＞
　
What does that sign say? Can you make it out?
（あの標識なんて書いてある？読める？）
　
I couldn’t make out what he said. Did you catch it?
（彼が言ったこと聞こえなかったよ。彼がなんて言ったか理解できた？）
　
I heard Peter and Megan were making out at the party last night.
（昨晩、ピーターとメーガンはパーティーでイチャついていたらしいよ）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
2) Make it quick
--------------------------------------------------
　
Make it quickは直訳すると「早く作ってね」になりますが、日常会話では急いでいるときに相手に対して「早く済ませてね」や「急いでね」の意味で使われる話し言葉です。使い方はhurry upと似ており、例えば電車が出発する間際に友達が「I have go to the bathroom.（トイレに行かないと）」と言ったときに、「Make it quick. The train is leaving in 5 minutes.（急いでね。電車は5分で出発するから）」という具合に命令形で使われることが多いです。「すぐに済ませるから」は「I’ll make it quick.」と言います。
　
＜例文＞
　
〜会話例１〜

A: Do I have time to get changed?
（着替える時間はある？）

B: Yeah, but make it quick. The show is starting in 20 minutes.
（ええ、でも急いでね。ショーは20分で始まるから）
　
〜会話例２〜

A: Do you have a minute? I know you’re busy. I’ll make it quick.
（ちょっといいですか？忙しいのは分かっているので、すぐに済ませます）

B: Yeah, what’s up?
（ええ、どうしました？）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
3) Make sense
--------------------------------------------------
　
Make sense は物事を理解したときに使われ、分からなかったことが明らかになったり、何かに納得したことを表します。I understand と意味は似ていますが、make sense は話にしっかり筋が通っていて理解できるニュアンスがあり、「分かりましたか？」は「Does it make sense?」、「ええ、理解できました」は「Yeah, that makes sense.」と言います。逆に、話が矛盾していたり、筋が通っていなかったり、理屈がおかしい時は、「It doesn’t make sense.」と言います。
　
＜例文＞
　
That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
（納得しました。説明ありがとうございました）
　
That makes sense. No wonder he was so upset.
（なるほどね。どおりで彼はあんなに腹を立てていたんだ）
　
What she’s saying doesn’t make sense. She’s contradicting herself.
（彼女が言っていることは筋が通っていません。矛盾したことを言っている）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
4) Make up
--------------------------------------------------
　
この表現は、喧嘩をした相手と仲直りすることや、もめ事を丸く収めることを表し、喧嘩をした友達同士やカップルが仲直りする状況で使われます。例えば、「私はジョンと仲直りした」は「I made up with John.」、「マイクとマヤは仲直りした」は「Mike and Maya made up.」という具合に使われます。ちなみに、make up は「埋め合わせをする」を意味し、例えば、彼女の誕生日をうっかり忘れてしまい「ごめん。埋め合わせするから」と言いたい時は「I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you.」と表現します。

その他、make upは歌や詩、ストーリーなどを自作する意味としても使われます。例えば、「歌を作りました」は「I made up a song.」、「詩を作りました」は「I made up a poem.」のように表します。
　
＜例文＞
　
They’re on good terms now. They made up with each other.
（彼らは仲直りしたので、今は仲良くしています）
　
I got into an argument with Matt but we made up.
（私はマットと喧嘩しましたが、仲直りしました）
　
I’m sorry about last night. I’ll make it up to you.
（昨日の夜はごめん。埋め合わせするから）
　
Wow, did you make up that song on the spot?
（すごい、その曲、即興で作ったの？）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
5) Make a difference
--------------------------------------------------
　
Make a differenceを直訳すると「違いを作る」ですが、この表現は、ある行動によってポジティブな変化や結果が生まれることを意味します。例えば、「留学経験が英会話力に大きな影響を与えた」と表現する場合は「Studying abroad really made a difference」と言うことができます。逆に、効果やインパクトがない場合は、「It makes no difference.」または「It doesn’t make any difference.」と表現します。

その他、It makes no differenceは「どっちいでもいい」を意味し、特に、選択肢が2つある状況でどちらを選択しても気にしないといったニュアンスが含まれます。
　
＜例文＞
　
Writing down your goals really makes a difference. You should try it.
（目標を書き出すと効果あるから。やってみな）
　
A lot of people don’t vote because they think it makes no difference.
（多くの人は投票しても意味がないと思っているので投票しません）
　
I can do Korean food or Japanese food. It doesn’t make a difference to me.
（韓国料理でも日本食でも、どっちでもいいよ）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
6) What do you make of
--------------------------------------------------
　
What do you make of ____ は相手の意見や考えを尋ねるときに使われ、 What do you think of ____ の言い換え表現として使われます。例えば、「これどう思う？」は「What do you make of this?」、「あの映画についてどう思う？」は「What do you make of that movie?」という具合に使われます。その他、相手がある物事をどのように解釈するのかを尋ねるときにも使われ、例えば、不可解なメッセージが届いたときに「What do you make of this message?（このメッセージをあなたはどう解釈しますか？）」と表現します。
　
＜例文＞
　
What do you make of the idea she proposed?
（彼女が提案したアイデアについてどう思いますか？）
　
Tony sent me a weird email. Take a look at it. What do you make of it?
（トニーから変なメールが届いたんだけど、ちょっと見てみて。どう思う？）
　
I don’t know what to make of him. But there’s something about him that seems shady.
（彼についてどう思うか分かりません。でも、なぜだか分からないけど怪しい感じがするんだよね）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
7) Make a wish
--------------------------------------------------
　
Make a wish は「願い事をする」を意味します。例えば、誕生日パーティーの主役に「ろうそくを吹き消して願い事を言って」と言いたい場合は「Blow out the candles and make a wish.」と言います。その他、「欲しいものリストを作る」は「Make a wish list.」と言います。
　
＜例文＞
　
Happy birthday! Did you make a wish?
（お誕生日おめでとう。願い事をした？）
　
It’s 11:11. Make a wish guys!
（11時11分だよ。願い事をして！）
　
I made my Amazon wish list and emailed it to you.
（Amazonの欲しいものリストを作ってメールしたよ）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
8) Make fun of
--------------------------------------------------
　
Make fun ofは人をからかったり、馬鹿にしたりすることを表します。相手をからかって本当に困らせる時と友達同士が冗談でからかい合う時、両方の状況で使えます。「彼は彼女をからかった」と言いたい場合は「He made fun of her.」と言い、made fun of の後にからかう対象が入ります。
　
＜例文＞
　
I've known him since I was a kid. We make fun of each other all the time.
（彼とは幼なじみで、いつもお互いをからかい合います）
　
She's upset because Jack made fun of her pronunciation.
（ジャックは彼女の発音を馬鹿にしたので、彼女は腹を立てています）
　
My friends always make fun of me because I can't eat hot food.
（私は猫舌だから、いつも友達にからかわれるんだ）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
9) Make up one’s mind
--------------------------------------------------
　
Make up one’s mind は「決める」や「決心する」を意味し、decideのより口語的な言い方です。どうしていいか分からない時や、優柔不断でなかなか決断できない状況でよく使われ、優柔不断な友達に対して「決めて！はっきりして！」と言う場合は「Make up your mind!」、そして「どうしていいか分からないよ。迷う！」と返事する場合は「I can’t make up my mind!」と言います。
　
＜例文＞
　
Did you make up your mind or are you still thinking about it?
（決まった？それともまだどうするか考えているの？）
　
I don’t know what to do. I can’t make up my mind.
（どうしていいか分からないよ。迷うな）
　
I made up my mind. I’m going to quit my job and start my own business.
（決心しました。仕事を辞めて自分のビジネスを始めます）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
10) Make one’s day

誰かのおかげで幸せな気分になったり、相手の一言で励まされたとき英語では「You made my day.」という表現を使うことがよくあります。直訳すると「あなたのおかげで良い一日になったよ」になり、相手に感謝の気持ちを伝えるときに使われ、「Thanks. You made my day!」のようにセットで使われます。その他、試験に合格したり、面接に受かったりなど、良い報告を受けたり嬉しい出来事があったときは「That made my day!」と言います。ちなみに、dayだけではなく「That made my week」、「That made my month.」、「That made my year」と言うこともできます。

【德多少，就得多少】
YOUR VIRTUES DETERMINE HOW MUCH YOU GET

最近家附近有建築工地，噪音多了。

客人聽我的聲音不會有問題，因為我的耳機有麥克風，但如果他們不戴有麥克風的耳機，我聽他們的聲音會比較辛苦。

幾天前，為一位年輕的保險經紀通過Zoom批八字。

他進入Zoom會議室後，呆看著我。

我微笑看著他，故意不出聲，觀察著他。

幾秒後，他才粗魯的說：「哈囉？!」

奇怪了，貴為一個保險經紀，見人應該無數，打招呼的方式，怎能這麼粗俗？我阿姨阿伯級的客人，雖不常用Zoom，都比他懂禮貌。

我馬上回：「X先生，您好。您進來會議室，怎麼打招呼這麼粗俗？」

「我一向來都是這樣先哈囉，有聲音我才正式打招呼。」

「我倒是從來不會這樣。」

其實，這是個人修養的問題。

「你沒有讀我發給你的貼文嗎？為何你視訊沒有戴耳機？」

「我一向來Zoom都是這樣，沒有戴耳機。我以為你只是建議而已，不一定要戴。」

「我在貼文裡寫關於戴耳機的理由，你覺得不成立嗎？」

他想了幾秒，回：「是成立的。」

「我們都是提供服務的人。客人找我們，需要三大元素。第一個，就是同理心。你沒有同理心，難怪你說你的客人寧願聽別人說，也不信你說。」

「如果你要我戴，我現在就戴。」

他講完後，依然坐在那裡看著我，一動也不動。

後來，我說了幾句，他肯戴上耳機後，藍牙耳機也並沒操作好。

等了我一個月，這麼簡單的事情都不願事先做好。

看著他理直氣壯的模樣，頓時覺得他很可憐。

貴人坐在他面前，他說的一大堆話，都是以「自我」為出發點，完全不懂得「以和為貴」的道理。這不就是親手把貴人轟出門嗎？

「你這樣講話，就算講贏了，你真的贏了嗎？」

換成我是他的客人，我絕不會向他買保險，因為很明顯這不是一位真心為別人著想的保險經紀人。

那天，雖為他看八字，該說的我都有說，但我依然保留許多。

因為他缺德。

許多人把「德」看得很輕，覺得沒做壞事就是好人。事實上，不按照別人合理的要求做事，蓄意破壞規則，只顧自己，也是沒有德行可言。

有些人會吐槽，哎呀你學佛的人，要慈悲，何必跟他計較？不要著相！

我不是在意氣用事。

沒有智慧的慈悲，會害死人的。

祖師有訓 - 看命本來就是依客人的福德多寡，而賜福。品行不端的人，承受不起更多的福報，反而會遭反噬。再說了，對貴人都不好的人，對沒有利用價值的人就會更善良嗎？

不是捐錢的，就一定是好人，什麼事情都是要用心才算。

每個人都想要與眾不同，可是如果你的所作所為和一般人一樣，沒有比他們做得更好，那你的命格只配拿得起一般的命運。

不要迷信，以為什麼都是人家為難你，就跑去求神拜佛要打小人。我們命運裡的每一個障礙，每一粒石頭，都是自己放進去的。

你不改，障礙物就不會移。

在這裡聲明：沒有麥克風耳機的Zoom客人，我一概會取消諮詢，進行退款，沒得商量，沒得瞎掰。

能突然放假，真是太過癮了！

——————————————————

Recently, a construction site sprouted up beside my place, creating a lot of noise every day.

Zoom clients wouldn’t have a problem hearing me, but if they do not have a earpiece with a mic, I would have a problem hearing them.

Few days ago, I did a Bazi analysis for a young Insurance Agent via Zoom.

After he entered my Zoom meeting room, he looked at me blankly.

I smiled at him, deliberately staying quiet, and observed him.

Few seconds later, he said bluntly, “Hello?!”

How strange that an insurance agent, who probably have met tons of people, would greet in such an abrupt manner. My middle-aged clients, who rarely use Zoom, have better etiquette than him.

I replied instantly, “Hi, Mr X. Why is your greeting so crude, upon entering this meeting room?”

“I always say hello like this and wait to hear a reply, before I greet officially.”

“I never do that.”

Actually, this demonstrates the refinement of a person.

“Did you not read the post I sent you? Why are you not wearing a earpiece?”

“All along, I do Zooms in this manner without a earpiece. I thought it’s just a suggestion from you and it was not mandatory.”

“I wrote about the reason for clients to wear a earpiece. Do you find it invalid?”

He pondered for a few seconds and replied, “It’s valid.”

“We are both service providers. Clients look for us based on three main qualities. The first being the quality of empathy. You lack empathy and it’s no wonder you say your clients rather listen to others and not trust you as much.”

“If you want me to wear, then I will wear it now”

And he sat there looking at me, not moving an inch.

When he finally put on his ear pods, they did not operate well either.

It’s peculiar how despite a month of waiting for me, he was slow to get this simple thing done right.

Seeing how “self-assured” he was, for a brief moment, I find his behaviour pitiful.

His benefactor was sitting right in front of him, yet his words remained self-serving, totally oblivious to what harmony is about. Wasn’t this sending your benefactor straight out of the door?

“Even if you gain an upper hand talking like this, have you really won?

I would never buy insurance from such an agent, as obviously he was not the considerate kind.

I still read his Bazi that day, said what I should but there were also a lot I did not reveal.

Because he is lacking in virtues.

Many people think lightly of virtues. They assumed that if they do no evil deed, they are virtuous humans. Fact is, if you do not follow the reasonable requirements of other people, deliberately breaking the rules for your own gain, you have no virtue to speak of.

Some naysayers will tell me, but hey you are a practicing Buddhist, so you should exercise your compassion and not be bothered with his behaviour! Don’t get attached to external form!

This isn’t about me.

Compassion without wisdom brings more harm than good.

Since ancient times, it is a rule of thumb that we practitioners allocate good fortune to clients, based on their conduct and luck.

A person with undesirable conduct is unable to bear greater fortune, or there will be adverse consequences. Moreover, if a person is unkind to his benefactor, it is very unlikely that he will be kinder to another person with no value to him.

You can’t define a person as a good man, just because he is willing to donate money. We got to look at how he uses his heart.

Everybody wants to be special and different from others. But if what you are doing is the same as other people, nowhere better than them, then you can only carry a mediocre Destiny.

Don’t be superstitious to think that everybody is out to get you, and you go running to the temples or Feng Shui masters to chase away the villains.

Every obstacle in our destiny, every little stone that trips us, is placed in our lives by no other person but ourselves.

If you do not change, the obstacle isn’t going to budge either.

And here’s an official note: For any Zoom client that does not wear a earpiece with a microphone, I will cancel the consultation and give you a refund.

Having off days out of the blue are so much more fun!

Remove the Roof

“When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house. Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them. Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him. When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.” He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”” (Mark‬ ‭2:1-12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Lord brought this miracle to my remembrance and wants to tell us to remove the roof in our minds.

Oftentimes when we are faced with challenges, we only see the impossibilities and limitations.

The paralytic’s four friends saw that the house was so crowded and that there was no way to enter through the front door. Instead of seeing this as an impossible situation, they thought out of the box and removed the roof.

Some of us need to remove the roof from some wrong doctrines that we have been taught in the past that are limiting our ability to receive from God now.

When the four friends lowered the paralytic down into the house, Jesus did not rebuke them or curse the paralytic for removing the roof. Instead, He saw their faith and healed the paralytic.

The religious scribes might have viewed removing the roof as an audacious and preposterous act, but Jesus only saw it as faith.

When you approach God today in prayer, don’t have this sense of fear, as if He will punish you if you say something wrong.

Just believe that He is like Jesus, seeing your faith as you ask Him for big things—even ‘impossible’ things. He loves it when you have faith to receive miraculous breakthroughs from Him!

“Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20-21‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Remove the roof in your mind that limits God or makes Him appear stingy and reluctant to help you.

God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, which means that no matter how big your prayer requests (demands) are, His supply will be much more than you expect.

If He is going to keep exceeding your expectations, then set your sights high. He loves it when you have a good opinion of Him—and that is faith!

In my book “Messiah’s Miracles: The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, explore the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ with me and see God’s beautiful heart of love and Grace towards you. The revelations within about the way of faith will cause you to even receive long-awaited miraculous breakthroughs in your life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

"若榮耀換來快樂，為何你仍如此憔悴?"

－－－－－－－

''Get Your Wish''
「當我開始寫這張專輯時，我正在努力思考一些沉重的問題：為什麼我要拿這個東西折磨自己？有什麼是我希望發生但還沒發生的？為什麼我必須再次證明自己？你在這首歌裡會聽到我的答案，它的靈感來自 Bon Iver 的專輯《22, A Million》。我是在我弟弟得到癌症時發現那張專輯的。那時後我真的沒有辦法做音樂，但那張專輯讓我覺得稍微開朗了一點，感覺比較有希望了。當我想到那張專輯對我的意義有多重大時，我才發現最重要的是做出能讓人產生共鳴、讓世界變得稍微不那麼爛的音樂。〈Get Your Wish〉是我剛恢復狀態後寫的第一首歌。」

When you walked on water
當你的夢想達成

Did you get your wish?
得到自己想要的了嗎?

Floating to the surface
浮上來到表面

Quicker than you sank
比向下沉淪快

Idol
不必當

Idol
他人的偶像

So tell me
告訴我吧

How it felt
感受如何呢

When you walked on water
當你實現了不可能

Did you get your wish?
你得到自己所想要的了嗎?

Floating to the surface
浮上水平面來

Quicker than you sank
比向下沉淪快

Idol
我懂

Idol
我懂

So tell me
告訴我

Apparently, stress and boredom cause you to indulge in your bad habits. I found it to be true as I always shop whenever I am stressed out.

It is a hell of habit as shopping kind of soothes me and makes me feel like I am doing something beneficial. In a way, I actually avoid thinking about that stressful moment.

But I end up wasting so much money and I don't even use most of the stuff that I bought.

How to stop bad habits?

1. Stop them from the root.

As I said my bad habit is to shop, so the root is the money. I made a budget and set a very limited amount of money to shop. So eventually I became well aware that I can't afford to shop because I am saving up for something else.

Before I did that budget, I used to blindly spend. I never actually cared to save up for anything. I always think "Oh, I would be able to manage it soon."

Only when I became mindful about my spending, I started being serious and took each spending into consideration whether it is vital or not.



2. Stop the distraction

Social media is made up of a world full of distractions and it is such eye candy to those who want to be spoilt. The number of ads I get for shopping is uncountable and the offers are so enticing that you will surely end up buying 4 mascaras from different brands at the same time when you don't even use one!


So what you do when this happens is STOP THE AD! There are buttons and settings around the ad where you can set it to " I don't want to see this". I did that to each and every ad I see about sales or offers until I got none.


The fewer sales I saw, the less I thought about SHOPPING.

3. Replace your bad habits

Some say you can't stop the bad habits, you can only replace it. Which makes a lot of sense. When you replace it, you will forget whatever you had before it. Instead of shopping, I can go to the gym or go for a walk instead. Exhaust me there, de-stress and completely distract myself.

I get an amazing body and I get to save so much money! What a winning situation right?
