=================================
「Hand」や「Arm」を使った英語の慣用句
=================================
日本語でも「手が空く」や「手も足も出ない」、「腕に覚えがある」など、手や腕を使った表現がたくさんありますが、英語でもそれらを使った慣用句が日常会話の中でとてもよく使われています。今回は、その中から4つの表現をご紹介します。
--------------------------------------------------
1) Know like the back of one's hand
→「〜をよく知っている」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現の直訳は「自分の手の甲のように知っている」です。人間はみんな自分の手の甲を毎日何度も見て、手の甲に関しては誰よりも本人が一番熟知していると考えられていることから、Know it like the back of my handは、あることについて知り尽くしているときに使う表現になります。パソコンや技術的なことはもちろん、ある場所について詳しかったり、家族や友人の性格を深く理解していたりなど、様々な状況で使える表現です。
<例文>
〜会話例1〜
A: Should I look up directions?
(行き方を調べようか?)
B: No you don't have to do that. I know this area like the back of my hand.
(調べなくてもいいよ。この辺は知り尽くしているから。)
〜会話例2〜
A: What are you talking about? I’m not angry.
(何言ってんの?怒ってないよ。)
B: Stop lying to me. I know you like the back of my hand.
(嘘はやめてよ、あなたのことはよくわかってるんだから。)
〜会話例3〜
A: Where should I stay when I go to Tokyo?
(東京に行ったらどこに泊まればいいかな?)
B: Ask Lisa, she knows that city like the back of her hand.
(リサに聞いてみて、彼女は東京を熟知しているから)
〜会話例4〜
A: My car broke down on the way to work again.
(通勤途中でまた車が壊れたよ。)
B: Oh no! You should contact Sam. He knows cars like the back of his hand.
(うそ!サムに連絡した方がいいよ。彼は車について本当に詳しいから。)
--------------------------------------------------
2) Live from hand to mouth
→「その日暮らしをする、かつかつの生活を送る」
--------------------------------------------------
Hand to mouthは「手から口」を意味し、この表現の由来は16世紀のイギリスと言われています。当時はひどい食糧不足であり、多くの人が飢えていました。食べ物が手に入った途端、口に入れなければ他の人に取られる恐れがあり、手にした食べ物をそのまま口へ持っていき生き延びていたそうです。こうして、live from hand to mouthは「その日暮らしの・一時しのぎの」人生を送ると言う意味で使われるようになりました。
✔自転車操業を意味するhand-to-mouth operationという似た言い回しがある。
<例文>
When I first started as freelance, I had to live hand-to-mouth.
(フリーランスで働き始めたときは、その日暮らしの人生だった。)
Many North Koreans are forced to live a hand-to-mouth existence.
(多くの北朝鮮人は一時しのぎの生活を強いられている。)
If you borrow money, don’t borrow more to pay that person back. That only makes it a hand-to-mouth operation!
(借りたお金を返すためにまた借金してはダメだよ。それじゃただの自転車操業でしょ!)
--------------------------------------------------
3) Lose one's touch
→「下手になる」
--------------------------------------------------
19世紀にイギリスで使われ始めたこの表現は、「前ほど上手にできなくなった」、「以前の特技を失う」と言う意味です。「下手になった」場合にも使えますが、基本的には「得意だったのに、レベルが落ちた」ことを表します。スポーツで練習をサボって腕が鈍った時や、子供が言うことを聞かなくなった時、ビジネスの場などで「勘」を失った時にも使えます。
✔Have the touch/Have got the touchは「才能がある」を意味する。
✔Loseとtouchの間にyourやmyなどを入れないと、「(人と)連絡を取らなくなった」の意味になるので、ご注意を。
<例文>
My kids don’t listen to me anymore. I think I’ve lost my touch.
(子供たちが全く言うこと聞かなくなったよ。なんだか、腕が鈍ったかなぁ。)
I know you didn’t win today, but you haven’t lost your touch. You’re just having a bad day.
(今日は勝てなかったかもしれないけど、腕が鈍ったわけじゃないよ。きっと今日はついてないだけだよ。)
I couldn’t get that contract today. I think I’ve lost my business touch.
(今日あの契約を承諾してもらえなかったよ。ビジネスの勘が鈍ってきたのかなぁ。)
--------------------------------------------------
4) Twist one's arm
→「人に何かを強制的にさせる」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現を直訳すると「腕をひねる」になり、人に何かを強制的にさせる状況で使われます。家事を手伝わない夫に無理やりやらせたり、おもちゃを片付けない子供に強制的に片付けさせたり、無理に友達を一緒にカラオケに連れ出したりなど様々な場面で使えます。
また、アメリカでは、喜んでやるのに、「もうしょうがないなぁ」というような皮肉な冗談交じりで使う場合もあります。例えば、お酒が大好きな人が、「もっと飲む?」と聞かれた場合 「If you twist my arm. (そんなに言うなら、もう一杯!)」と冗談交じりで答えたりします。
<例文>
〜会話例1〜
A: I know you don’t like scary movies, but will you please go with me? I have no one else to go with!
(怖い映画が嫌いなのは知ってるんだけど、一緒に見に行ってくれない?他に誘える人がいないの。)
B: Oh fine. Since you twisted my arm! But next time, I get to pick the movie!
(分かったよ。そんなに言うなら行くよ。でも、次は私が映画を選ぶからね!)
〜会話例2〜
A: You got Bob to wash the car?
(ボブが洗車するの?!)
B: Well, I had to twist his arm to do it.
(まぁね。無理やりやらせたわよ。)
〜会話例3〜
A: Would you like another cookie?
(もう一つクッキー食べる?)
B: Well, since you twisted my arm.
(そんなに言うなら、食べるわ!笑・・・※冗談)

Castle On The Hill
When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
But I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to 'Tiny Dancer'
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother over dosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
These people raised me
can't wait to go home
I'm on my way,
Driving down 90 down those
country lanes Singing to 'Tiny Dancer'
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
We watched the sunset
Over the castle on the hill
We watched the sunset
Over the castle on the hill

10 MOST POPULAR JAPANESE SELFIE POSES BY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
We talk about the top 10 selfie poses used by Japanese high school girls, or young Japanese girls in general. And as usual, we reenact them.... awkwardly.
Here are the 10 Japanese selfie poses:
1. Peace Sign Pose
The most common but we have to go over this classic.
2. Toothache Pose
Mimicking having a toothache, a cutesy pose. It became common from fashion magazine covers to show nail designs, and soon Japanese girls picked it up. It also helps to hide the roundness of one's face, an oftentimes undesired trait.
3. Paw Pose (or Gao Pose)
Mimicking putting a paw up. Many variations including holding it at differing heights, one or two hands, etc. It is thought to have started out with Harajuku pop icon, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, who posted selfies with her hands held like claws, showing her new nail designs. Others argue that the pose came from Lady Gaga's "paws up" pose.
It is also called 'Gao' pose as gao is the Japanese way of describing a roar. This related to the girl playfully acting like a cute little animal.
4. Hiding One Eye Pose
Covering one eye is another popular selfie pose, used both to show off one’s fingernails and eye-make.
5. Eliza Pose
The “Eliza” pose was named after the popular CanCam model, Eliza Ikeda (or Elaiza Ikeda). She posed in her selfies by lightly squeezing her cheeks to emphasize her lips.
6. Hamu Hamu Pose
“Hamu” is the onomatopoeia of the action of lightly biting. Selfies where the subject gently bites her lower lip are now becoming more popular amongst the teenage girls, as well as being much more warmly received by young males (especially compared to poses such as the duck pose / ahiru guchi).
7. Drinking Pose (or Near-Chu Pose)
Another upcoming selfie pose is the “drinking-out-from-a-straw” pose, known in Japanese as the “near-chu” pose. It gives the impression of kissing (“chu” is onomatopoeia of kissing).
8. Pinching the Cheek Pose
Pinching-the-cheek pose looks strange, but also cute as well. Apparently, it rose to popularity thanks to a smartphone app where the user can manipulate their taken image to stretch their cheek out a bit. One potential reason why this is popular amongst girls is that it apparently helps to reduce wrinkle lines from laughing and smiling.
9. Covering the Mouth Pose
Like the “covering-one-eye” pose, hiding your mouth to only show the top half of your face is also popular recently. Many girls use this selfie pose to show off their eye-make up, as well as the nail designs, together.
10. Pistol
The “pistol” pose, finally, was popularized by Manami Enosawa, one of the more well-known models in Seventeen magazine. Like the “toothache” pose, the “finger pistol” covers the chin and cheek areas to hide the roundness of one’s face, albeit with a dash off added fun.
Which selfie poses do you do? Let us know in the comments!
