初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第99弾は、”like a million dollors” です。
今日は調子がいい、気分が最高という日もありますよね。
今回はそんな場面で使える表現を紹介します。
例えば、ヒカは同僚のタロウに
“How are you doing?”「元気？」と聞きました。
「最高だよ。」と返答したい場合、あなたがタロウなら英語で何と言いますか？
“I’m great.”「素晴らしいです。」
greatを使う場合はI’m feeling great が正解です。I’m greatでは、不自然です。
そこで、
“I feel like a million dollars.” 「最高だよ。」
と言ってみましょう。自然な表現です。
発音もビデオでチェック！
ぜひこの表現を使ってみてください。
