（例文）A bicycle has been secured to a pole.

（例文）Where can I find some copy paper? At the end of the aisle.

Cameron

If you need to find something you can use this to ask or answer a question. When answering, no need to repeat the object; simply state the location. Instead of saying “where is…?” you can use “where can I find…?” It is helpful to increase your options for speaking. もしあなたが何かを見つける必要があるときに、これを使って質問したり、答えたりすることが出来る。答えるときは目的語を繰り返す必要はなく、単純に場所を言えばよい。Where is..?（どこですか？）の代わりに、Where can I find..?（どこで見つけることが出来ますか？）と使うことが出来る。話し言葉のバリエーションを増やすのに役立つ。

（例文）Isn’t this your jacket? Yes, that’s mine.

Cameron

Yes is Yes and No is No. So if the question is asked in the negative, but your answer is “yes it is”, you always say YES. YesはYesでNoはNoとなる。なのでもし質問が否定的に聞かれた場合でもあなたの答えは”はい”となり、常にYESと答える。

（例文）Can you tell me where the conference is being held? On the fifth floor.

Cameron

Many people ask, “Why did you…?” but instead, you can use “What made you …?” as an alternate expression. “What made you decide to go to Italy?” “I love the food.” 多くの人が使う “Why did you…?”（なんで～したのですか？）の代わりに、”What made you …?” （何があなたに～させたんですか？）を代替表現として使える。 “What made you decide to go to Italy?”（何であなたはイタリアに行こうと思ったんですか？） “I love the food.”（私はその食べ物が好きだからです）

（例文）Where have you been all morning? I was with the developers.

（例文）I can’t go but maybe you’re interested.

Cameron

If you want to offer something to someone, but are not sure if they would be interested in accepting, “… maybe you’re interested” is a great expression to use. “I was going to go to the punk rock concert in the Colisseo, but I don’t feel well.

（例文）He’s very interesting so I think I might go.

Cameron

If you want to express your interest as a reason for doing something, you would use this expression. “The art show seems very interesting so I think I might go.” But here we are also seeing “might”, so the speaker has not made up her mind yet. もしあなたが何かをするための理由としてあなたの興味を表現したいときに箱のように使える。.”The art show seems very interesting so I think I might go.”（その美術展はとてもおもしろそうだから私は行くかもしれない）でもここでも “might”が使われているので話し手はまだ自分の考えを決めきってはいない。

（例文）Uh… I think I’ll pass.

Cameron

When you want to turn down (refuse) an offer, gently, you use, “I think I’ll pass.” For example, “Do you want to go to F1 racing?” “Uh… (thinking) I think I’ll pass.” It is another way of saying “No thank you” without using the “NO” word. あなたが提案をやんわりと断りたいときに使える。 “I think I’ll pass.” （やめておこうと思います）例えば、”Do you want to go to F1 racing?”（F1のレースに行かない？） “Uh… (thinking) I think I’ll pass.”（ん～、やめておこうかなと思います） NOという言葉を使わないで言う “No thank you” （結構です）の別表現である。

（例文）Sure thing. This is “slang” but perfectly acceptable to use.

Cameron

It means “Yes”. “Can you get me some yogurt while you are out?” “Sure thing.” これはスラングになるけれども使ってもまったく問題がない。意味は “Yes”となる。”Can you get me some yogurt while you are out?”（出掛けるときにヨーグルト買ってきてもらえますか？） “Sure thing.”（いいよ）

（例文）If you look at the schedule, you’ll see that they are supposed to appear next.

Part5で旅行に今すぐ使える表現

（例文）Although a bus was arranged to transfer employees to the airport, Mr. Cooper elected to travel on his own.

（例文）The exhibition was visited by some 10 thousand people before its conclusion in March.

Cameron

Using “some” in this case may seem grammatically strange, but it is actually not incorrect. In this case, the “some” indicates a rough number that follows. So in this case, “some 10 thousand people” means “around”. But unlike “about” or “around” meaning more or less than, or “roughly”, “some” in this case has the “nuance” of being more. このように”some”を使うのは文法的におかしく見えるかもしれないが、間違いというわけではない。この場合”some” は後に続く大まかな数を示している。なのでこの場合、”some 10 thousand people”の意味は “around”（だいたい）ということになる。. しかし、それ以上や以下を含む”about” や “around”や “roughly”,と違って、この場合の”some” は~以上のニュアンスを含む。

（例文）Employees needing access to the building after hours can get authorization from their division supervisor.

Cameron

（例文）The benefits far outweigh the costs.

Cameron

Remember this phrase when you have to do a “risk assessment” about something, and the results are more positive than negative. Not necessarily for travel, but a good phrase to know when you want to prove to someone that your idea has more merits than demerits. この表現は何かに対して “risk assessment” をしなければならなくて、ネガティブよりもポジティブな結果になる時の表現だということを忘れないように。旅行だけに限らず、誰かにあなたの考えはデメリットよりもメリットが多くあるということを証明したいときに使える。

（例文）Hold on. This is a quick and simple phrase to tell someone to wait for a moment.

Cameron

In this tiny phrase, there is the assumption that the person will wait for only a short time. If you want them to wait for an hour, you would NOT use this phrase. “Can you bring me my bag?” “Hold on, I’m just finishing brushing my teeth.” 誰かに少し待ってほしいときに使えるシンプルで短い表現。この短い表現の中に、その人はほんの少しの時間だけ待てばいいのだという仮定がある。もしあなたが相手を1時間待たせたい場合はこの表現は使えない。 “Can you bring me my bag?”（私のカバン持ってくれない？） “Hold on, I’m just finishing brushing my teeth.”（ちょっと待って、今歯を磨いているから）

（例文）We ask that you refrain from reserving that room unless unless you specifically need to use that piece of equipment.

Cameron

“to refrain from” means “to stop doing something”. So you may hear, while traveling to countries where the plumbing (water) is weak, “We ask that you refrain from putting the toilet paper in the toilet. Please put it in the receptacle provided.” This is a real life experience, in Brasil. “to refrain from” の意味は、 “to stop doing something”. （何かをするのをやめること）です。なので水圧が弱い地域を旅行中にはこのような表現を聞くかもしれない。, “We ask that you refrain from putting the toilet paper in the toilet. Please put it in the receptacle provided.”（私たちは便器内にトイレットぺーおあーを入れるのを控えるようにお願いしております。どうぞ専用の入れ物へお入れください）これは実際にブラジルで経験したことだ。

（例文）If there are any problems with the facilities, please contact Marty Stoltz, the college technician.

Cameron

We can say “if there are any problems with…” or “if you haven any problems with…” so it is a useful phrase. “If there are any problems with the hot water in your room, please let us know”. “If I have any problems with my online booking, I will let you know.” 私たちは（もしなにか問題があったなら）という表現として、 “if there are any problems with…” や “if you haven any problems with…”と使うことができる。 これはかなり使える表現となっている。. “If there are any problems with the hot water in your room, please let us know”. （もしお部屋のお湯の出に何か問題がありましたら、どうぞ教えて下さい）”If I have any problems with my online booking, I will let you know.”（もしネット上での予約に問題がありましたら、お知らせください）

（例文）Narrowing them down is proving difficult.

Cameron

When you “narrow something down” you are reducing choices from a longer list of items, to a shorter one. This is what we have to do after “brainstorming” an idea. We list up all the ideas during the brainstorm time, and then we narrow them down to the key points we wish to focus on. “There are so many things to see in Rome! We only have two days, so we have to narrow down our choices to a few locations.” あなたが”narrow something down” の表現は長いリストの中のアイテムから選択肢を減らすときに使える。 アイデアをざっと書き出した後に必要なことだ。 私たちはブレインストーミングではすべてのアイデアをリストに挙げていくが、そのあとでフォーカスしたい重要事項に絞っていく “There are so many things to see in Rome! We only have two days, so we have to narrow down our choices to a few locations.”（ローマではみるべきものがたくさんある。私たちは2日間しかないからいくつかのロケーションに絞らなくてはならない）

（例文）We need to get started on a campaign.

Cameron

“need to get started” means, of course, “must begin”, but it has a sense of urgency to it as time is short. For example, “The August holiday is just around the corner. We need to get started on planning our vacation soon!” “need to get started” の意味はもちろん, “must begin”（始めなければならない）ということだが、許された時間は短いという緊急性も持ち合わせている。例えば、”The August holiday is just around the corner. We need to get started on planning our vacation soon!”（8月の休日はすぐそこだよ。すぐに私たちの休暇の計画を立て始めなくちゃ）

（例文）On the other hand…

Cameron

Nobody says “on the one hand…”, so please do not use “On the one hand A, but on the other hand, B.” You do, however use “on the other hand” when there is an opposite idea to the previous thought expressed. For example, “I would like to rent a bicycle and ride around town. On the other hand, there are so many hills and stairs in this city, that it might be better just to walk.” 誰も “on the one hand…”, だから “On the one hand A, but on the other hand, B.”というように使ったりはしないように。 以前に示された考えとは反対の物があるときには “on the other hand” （一方で）は使うことができる。例えば “I would like to rent a bicycle and ride around town. On the other hand, there are so many hills and stairs in this city, that it might be better just to walk.”（自転車を借りて市内を乗ってみたい。一方で、市内にはたくさんの岡谷会談があるからただ歩いたほうがいいかもしれない）

（例文）I was happy to hear that there was a little money left over in the community center budget this year.

Cameron

When someone informs you of something unexpectedly positive, and you are expressing this to a third party, you can use this phrase. “I was happy to hear / find out that our company is giving us the entire week off!” You can use this with “happy to see” as well, as in, “I was happy to see that all my luggage arrived without a problem this time!” When someone informs you of something unexpectedly positive, and you are expressing this to a third party, you can use this phrase. “I was happy to hear / find out that our company is giving us the entire week off!” You can use this with “happy to see” as well, as in, “I was happy to see that all my luggage arrived without a problem this time!”

（例文）A driver will be waiting for you as you exit airport customs to transfer you to Windom Towers Hotel.

Cameron

We can’t always arrive together at a destination. Sometimes we need to “meet up” with our travel partner. If you are going to arrive first you can use this to let your partner know where you will be. “I will be waiting for you by La fontana treviso at 3pm. Having a glass or three of prosecco. See you then!” 私たちは目的地にいつも一緒に到着するわけではない。時には同行旅行者と集合する必要がある。もしあなたが先に到着するときに、相手にあなたがいる場所を知らせる時にこの表現が使える。”I will be waiting for you by La fontana treviso at 3pm. Having a glass or three of prosecco. See you then!”（ La fontana trevisoの近くで３時にあなたを待ってるよ、プロセッコでも飲みながらいるから、じゃあまたその時に）

（例文）I hope you don’t mind carrying the extra ten kilograms.

Cameron

When you request something of someone, but do not really give them a choice to say yes or no, you would use this expression. It’s a little ずるい though. “I hope you don’t mind if I’m a little bit late for our dinner at 7pm tonight.” Basically, the only response to this is, “No, I don’t mind at all.” (even if the person does mind.) もしあなたが誰かに何かをお願いしたいときで、でもOKかどうかの選択を相手に与えない場合にこの表現が使われる。少しずるいけども。”I hope you don’t mind if I’m a little bit late for our dinner at 7pm tonight.”（今夜７時の夕食に少し遅れるかもしれないけど、あなたが別に気にしないでいてくれるといいんだけど）基本的にここでの返答はこれのみ。 “No, I don’t mind at all.” (even if the person does mind.)（全然気にしないよ（例え気になったとしても））
