☆ネイティブの生の会話からリアルな英語を学ぶ☆
=================================
1) Unkept(手入れされていない)
=================================
この表現は「keep されていない」、つまりきちんと手入れされておらず何かが放置状態であることを表し、汚いトイレや散らかっている部屋、手入れされていない庭などを表すときに使われます。その他、「守られていない約束」の意味もあります。
✔似た言葉にunkempt がありますが、この表現はボサボサの髪やきちんと手入れされていない髭など、だらしない身なりを表します。
<例文>
This garden is unkept and overgrown.
(この庭は手入れがされておらず、雑草が生い繁っています。)
My cat’s fur is a little unkempt and needs a good brushing.
(私の猫の毛はボサボサなのでブラッシングが必要です。)
He always shows up to work with unkempt hair.
(彼はいつもボサボサの髪で出社します。)
=================================
2) By leaps and bounds(飛躍的に)
=================================
leap は「飛び跳ねる」、bound は「飛び上がる」ことを意味することから、by leaps and bounds は「飛躍的に」や「急速に」を意味します。英語力が飛躍的に伸びたり、会社が急成長したり、またはコロナの感染者数が急激に増えたりなど、すごい勢いで成長や発展を遂げる様子を表します。この表現は一般的にby leaps and bounds もしくは in leaps and bounds と表現します。
<例文>
After moving to the U.S., her English improved by leaps and bounds.
(彼女の英語はアメリカに引っ越してから飛躍的に上達しました。)
His company has grown by leaps and bounds over the past year.
(彼の会社はこの1年間で急成長しました。)
Plant-based eating trend has been growing by leaps and bounds recently.
(最近、菜食を中心とした食トレンドが急速に広まっています。)
=================================
3) Work on(改善する)
=================================
work on は悪いところを「改善する」や「より良くする」ことを意味します。商品やサービスの質を上げたり、能力や技術を向上させたり、態度をあらためるような状況で使われます。また、状況によっては「〜に取り組む」や「〜に取り掛かる」といった意味にもなります。
<例文>
This year, I’m going to work on my pronunciation and become a better English speaker.
(今年は発音に力を入れて、より上手に英語が話せるようになりたいです。)
We are always working on improving customer satisfaction.
(常に顧客満足度の向上に努めています。)
I need to work on my communication skills.
(私はコミュニケーション能力を向上させないといけない。)
=================================
4) Dry(禁酒の)
=================================
この単語には「禁酒の」という意味もあり、例えば「禁酒の州」はdry state と表します。その他、長い間お酒を飲んでいない状態を表すときにも使われ、例えば「彼は3年間禁酒しています」は「He’s been dry for three years.」と言います。
<例文>
Did you know that there are over eighty dry counties in the U.S?
(アメリカには80以上の禁酒地域があることをご存知でしたか?)
Iran is a dry country and it is illegal for both citizens and tourists to drink alcohol.
(イランは禁酒国で、国民も観光客も飲酒は違法です。)
I haven’t had a sip of alcohol since coming back to LA. I’ve been dry for five years now.
(私はロスに戻ってきてからお酒を一滴も飲んでいません。もう5年間も禁酒しています。)
=================================
5) In comparison with(〜と比べると)
=================================
in comparison with は二つのものを比べるときに使われる表現で、「〜と比較して」や「~と比べると」といった意味で使われます。in comparison toと表現することもでき、toとwith どちらを使っても意味は同じです。また、compared toと同じ意味なので置き換えて使うことができます。
<例文>
The food portions in Japan are much smaller in comparison with the U.S.
(日本の食事の量はアメリカと比べるとずっと少ないです。)
In comparison to men, it’s said that women are better language learners.
(男性と比べて女性の方が語学が得意だと言われています。)
In comparison to Tokyo, Kanzawa is a lot quieter and laid-back.
(東京と比べて金沢はより静かで落ち着いています。)

#MyVoiceAndI #lockdowndiaries #throwbackthursdays
When I say I miss the stage, I’m not only referring to the two hours of live performance that you all see. I miss myself. I miss who I am during the process: learning new repertoire, spending endless hours in solitude learning all the notes at the piano, reading and looking up each word in the dictionary, trying to get the pronunciation and colouring of the text as authentic as possible. It’s the time spent observing, imitating, and drawing inspiration from all the great artists through dvds and videos. It’s the process of igniting my imagination, and gradually getting into the shoes of a new role, and finding new things about an old piece or a character along the way of rehearsing with other musicians. It’s the incomparable satisfaction of hearing my voice resonate and project into a big space with no artificial amplification. It’s the exchange of energy with people around me. It’s feeling that I want to pour my heart and soul out to the world through music without expecting anything in return. Everything in this process, including the really scary moments in which I doubt everything I do, to the exciting feeling of overcoming those obstacles and making little breakthroughs and connecting with the music and the people around… I miss them all. Right now I’m learning something which is a bit of a foreign concept: patience. I need patience to be at peace with the uncertainty of everything. 2020 is the first time in years that I’m forced (or given space and time) to sit down and listen to my inner voice, instead of singing with my soprano voice.

#SeeWhatShow: Mulan
Besides the lack of travel, this year has been marked by the lack of cinema-going too. Blockbuster movies have been delayed or pushed back. Cinemas were closed. We’ve been also locked down.
So it was with some excitement that the Wife and I went to watch the premiere of Disney’s Mulan. Tenet was the first movie we watched post-circuitbreaker but Mulan was the one we understood.
It was also very enjoyable and I’m glad we caught it on the big screen. I think the US is getting it on Disney+ (you buy it from the streaming service) but we get to see it on the big screen here.
It is quite the spectacle.
No, there is no Mushu. No, there is no cutesy humour. No, there isn’t even any singing. Just leave your animated Mulan expectations at the door and watch this as a different movie. A little more serious. A lot of pomp and grandeur.
You can tell Disney has put in a lot of effort to get the costumes and the sets right. The kungfu wire work is also spot on.
Where you might get a little thrown off is the Chinese-accented English and the English-accented pronunciation of Chinese names. Some of the over-emphasis on morals and love of country can also feel a little cringey and smell a little of propaganda.
But, get past some of the cringe and you will find a kickass movie about a kickass heroine who, well, kicks ass.
I like that the focus is on Mulan herself. The romance angle from the animated movie was played down too. This is all about a young woman’s journey to finding her place in a male-dominated society. And you will cheer her as she does it.
This is one of the best animated to live-action movie adaptions that Disney has ever done. This is no meh Cinderella or Lion King.
Think of it as a tribute to all the Chinese wuxia period movies you’ve watched before. Sure, we are familiar with the tropes and may find it hokey seen through the lens of Hollywood, like we did when Crouching Tiger came out. But I think it’s a credible effort and enjoyable for the family.
Go see it in the cinema. Oh and see if you can recognize Jet Li.

込めた想いを改めて世界と共有し、一緒に作った仲間との間で生まれるエネルギーを目に見える形で表現したく、この映像を作りました!
新たな一面を体感してみてください!
The HOPELESS ROMANTIC English ver. MV is out now!!

Leo Youlagi
初めまして。ビデオの監督をしたLeo Youlagiです。
HOPELESS ROMANTICはいつもライブの写真を撮っているSIRUPくんやShinくん、そして以前アートワークを担当させていただいたstarRoさんの共作ということで、このメンバーと一緒に作品を作れたことをとても嬉しく思っています。
「一方通行のコミュニケーション」をテーマに、真っ暗闇に向けて誰が見ているとも知らず、光を投げかけ続ける灯台のようなイメージを映像に落としこんでみました。今はなかなか会えない好きな人や友達を想う夜に寄り添える作品になりますように。
4Kで作ったので、なるべく大きな画面で楽しんでください!
Hi all, this is Leo Youlagi, the director for this music video.
HOPELESS ROMANTIC was created as a collaboration by a team who I’ve worked closely with; SIRUP and Shin who I always take live photos for, and starRo who I’ve created artwork for in the past. I am extremely happy to have been able to create this piece of work with all three of them.
With the main theme being "one-way communication", I imagined an existence, almost like a lighthouse, that keeps shining light into pitch black darkness without knowing if there is anyone watching. I hope that this piece will be something that will always be by your side in these times when you may not be able to see your loved ones and close friends, but will think of them dearly during nights when you feel a little lonely.
I created the video 4K, so please enjoy it on the biggest screen possible!
starRo
人生ゲームから始まった僕らの仲。お互いの人生から見える景色が交差して曲にできたことを感謝してるし、そんなエネルギーが詰まったこの英語版MVに感謝!!!
We first got to know each other through a round of “Game of Life”. I'm grateful that each of our viewpoints from our own lives were able to intersect to make this song, and grateful for this English version music video that captures that same energy!!!
Shin Sakiura
リアルに感じていることをそのまま落とし込めて、最高のチームで作ることができたMV。素晴らしい作品に関わることができて感謝しています!
This music video was created with the most amazing team, and we were able to put our most raw feelings into the video itself. I am so honored to be able to be a part of such an incredible piece of work!

4:22 Spanish
6:59 Your journal
*My Journal*
Summer is here! Oh My Gosh, it’s so hot! But it feels good sweating under the blue skies.
My kid is done with school year. Gosh, it’s going to be a long summer!
Speaking of “long,” my hair is getting longer and longer. I need a haircut! But, Kim is all booked up. Kim is my hairdresser. She is a lovely lady. I adore her. And, she’s an excellent hairdresser. I made an appointment, but it’s not till the end of the month. Ahhh, I can’t wait!!
Let’s talk about what I’m reading right now. “Black Rain.” A novel by Masuji Ibuse. It’s about the WWII. And what happened to the people in Hiroshima and how their lives changed. So far, I’ve read about a quarter of the book. But, I’m already learning a lot, how the people's lives changed, and the differences between now and then.
Moving on! I’m enjoying learning Spanish on Duolingo so much! It’s fun. But at the same time, it’s so frustrating because I keep forgetting what I’ve just learned! Also, listening and speaking are so difficult! The other day, I watched this trailer. “In the Heights” coming out this summer. Some of them were speaking Spanish! So, I was so excited! But I couldn’t catch any words. I was disappointed with myself. Apparently, according to my husband who speaks very little Spanish, someone said “un cafe con leche (a coffee with milk).” He caught that, but I didn’t. I can understand it if it’s written on paper. But, when I was listening to it, I couldn’t catch even a single word, which was very frustrating! But, that’s part of learning a new language, right? So, I’m gonna keep learning. I’m gonna keep going. Never give up! Just take a baby step at a time!
