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。

(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)
=================================

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。)

=================================
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。

New cooking recipe is ready: https://youtu.be/R0lxqXUDD-s
This time we are going to teach you to make the most traditional Cantonese New Year dish - Braised mushroom with dried oyster 冬菇炆蠔豉 - 好市生財. You only need 4 mins to learn 🤫
In this recipe, we pan-fried the oyster for even better taste.
My parent told me that the first thing that they smell on the morning of a Chinese festival when they were young was the mushroom as every family soaked mushroom for the reunion dinner. But why mushroom? Shiitake Mushroom looks like a coin that symbolises wealth. The dried oyster 蠔豉 has a similar pronunciation as 好市symbolises good business and lettuce 生菜 has a similar pronunciation as 生財means growing wealth! So this is a very good dish!
Happy Lunar New Year everything!

After the long Chinese New Year holiday, everyone supposes to go back to office today in which you should see lion dancing everywhere to welcome them.
Shops and companies hang lettuce at the entrance on their first day of work in the new year to welcome the Lion, which is believed to bring good luck and fortune to the business. Lettuce, in chinese 生菜 (san choi), has a similar pronunciation as 生財 (sun choi), which means growing wealth and prosperity. The lion will eat the lettuce and throw it into the shop, which the storekeepers will catch the lettuce (luck and wealth).
The atmosphere on the first working day should be a lot different this year. Civil servants (except those who provide urgent and necessary public services) and many other private sector employees will work from home until Feb 2 as a preventive measure to minimise the spread of Wuhan Coronavirus.
Stay healthy everyone! May the lion also bring us good health!

Cousins In Bed,
Mummy The RAPPER!
He’s Saying Words!
Don’t Learn These,
Why Is Kai Always Pant-less?
BUBZ AND KAI STRIKES BACK AGAIN! Kai's channel: http://youtube.com/kaitsangasong
So Tim is back in Hong Kong again =( We miss him a lot but he will be back before we know it. To keep me company, Kai decided to crash for the night. We never get up to much but we always enjoy each other’s company. We actually had a mega productive evening. He managed to get some designing done while I got to do quite a lot of writing for my book. Kai and I have always had a blunt relationship. Growing up together, I pretty much taught the little dude to walk. He is more than a cousin to me. To me, he is like my crazy little brother. Sometimes, our relationship and closeness may seem odd to some. I cherish our weird relationship. Without him, how will I learn these new “hip” acronyms? Come on, are teenagers really using these?
Meanwhile, Isaac is taking more interest in our words and even starting to repeat what we say. His pronunciation isn’t quite there yet but we are mega stoked that he is trying. The other night when I was drifting off to sleep, he kissed me on the lips and said “Aye Uv Yooooo”. I tell him I love him everyday but when your child says it back to you, it’s like music to the ears.

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT RAMUNE ラムネ (JAPANESE MARBLE SODA)
Ramune is a popular carbonated soft drink from Japan - one of the modern symbols of the Japanese summer.
Some people call it the most complicated soft drink in the world, but it’s really quite simple. The drink is pressure sealed with a marble from the inside, and you have this 'pushy device' that you push inside the neck to dislodge the marble.
1) RAMUNE WAS INVENTED BY A SCOT
In 1884 during the Meiji period, this Scottish dude, Alexander Cameron Sim, had his own Pharmaceutical company in Kobe. Apparently it was a trend amongst pharmacists to invent their own drink concoctions. Some were hits, some were misses. Sim's drink - named Mabu soda at the time, mabu meaning marble - was a massive hit. Eventually the name was changed to Ramune and the drink was sold nationwide. Ramune is an epic Japanese drink, so it’s no surprise Sim has his very own monument in Kobe.
2) RAMUNE WAS JAPAN'S FIRST EVER SOFT DRINK
We’re talking about the first mainstream commercialised soft drink in Japan. It wasn’t Coke. It wasn’t Ginger Ale. It was Ramune.
3) RAMUNE IS HEALTHIER THAN COKE
One reason Ramune has been growing in popularity is cause of the lower calorie and carbohydrate count. Although these levels can differ depending on the Ramune flavour. People trying to lose weight sometimes drink Ramune as a substitute for Coke or for any other regular soft drink.
4) PEOPLE INITIALLY THOUGHT RAMUNE DRINKS WERE BOMBS
Back in the 1850s, Matthew C. Perry, a Commodore of the United States Navy (who played a leading role in the opening of Japan to the West), brought carbonated sodas over to Japan. Perry and co. presented these special beverages as gifts.
A Johnny Knoxville type crew member thought it would be a funny idea to shake up some of the fizzy sodas before offering them to the Japanese. After it exploded in their faces, many thought they were bombs! It almost started a war.
Later on, when commercial Ramune was released to the public, many people were suspicious of this foreign mystery drink that may or may not explode in your face like a bomb. Not to mention carbonation was unheard of.
5) RAMUNE USED TO BE UNPOPULAR
It wasn’t called Ramune at the beginning. It was called ‘Remon Sui’ which directly translates to lemon water.
Eventually the name was changed to Remoneedo, which is the straight Japanese pronunciation of the word ‘lemonade’. And later on shortened to just Ramune. The drink then became a massive hit.
6) RAMUNE WAS ORIGINALLY MARKETED AS A PREVENTION FOR CHOLERA
This is bullcrap, but along with the Ramune name change, this bit of false marketing helped its popularity.
7) THERE ARE OVER 36 FLAVOURS OF RAMUNE
Ramune is super popular, but after the influx of newer soft drinks into the marketplace, like Coke, Fanta, Sprite, etc; the Ramune higher ups felt they needed to spice things up.
There are fruit flavours like banana, blueberry, grape, orange, green apple, kiwi, peach, pineapple, plum, cherry, coconut, mango, melon, pomelo, watermelon, raspberry, strawberry and lychee. Then there’s vanilla, chocolate, candy, root beer and coke flavours.
More WTF ones include champagne, bubble gum, green tea, chill oil, brussels sprout, corn cream stew (soup), teriyaki, curry, octopus, takoyaki, kimchi, squid ink and wasabi.
8) RAMUNE WITHOUT THE MARBLE ISN'T RAMUNE
Apparently Ramune is only Ramune if it comes in that uniquely shaped bottle (called a codd-neck bottle) with the marble in it.
9) YOU CAN MAKE RAMUNE AT HOME
*watch vid for instructions*
10) RAMUNE USED TO BE THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS SOFT DRINK
Kids wanted the marble, and were willing to break the glass bottle to get it. Nowadays bottles are unbreakable and kiddy-proof so are no longer dangerous.
