☆ネイティブの生の会話からリアルな英語を学ぶ☆
　
=================================
1) Either way（どちらにしても〜だ）
=================================
　
eitherは「二つのうちどちらか一方」を意味することから、either wayは「どっちでも〜だ」や「どちらにせよ〜だ」を意味します。「どっちでもいいよ」は“I’m fine either way. ”、「どちらにせよ、それは重要ではない」は“Either way, it’s not important. ”という具合に使われます。ちなみに、今日の会話で使われた“It could go either way.”は「どちらに転んでもおかしくない」を意味します。
　
＜例文＞
　
I’m fine either way. I don’t have a preference.
（どっちでもいいよ。特に好みはないから。）
　
Either way, it’s expensive. Let’s just fly there.
（どちらにしても高いから飛行機で行こう。）
　
I have no idea who’s going to win tonight. It could go either way.
（今夜は誰が勝つか全然分からない。どっちが勝ってもおかしくないよ。）
　
　
=================================
2) Much the same（ほぼ同じ）
=================================
　
much the sameは「ほとんど同じ」や「大差がない」を意味する表現で、almost the sameと同じ意味合いになります。「私もほぼ同じです」は“I’m much the same.”といいますが、ネイティブはよく“I’m pretty much the same.”と表現します。ちなみに、「全く同じである」はvery much the sameと言います。
　
＜例文＞
　
I’m much the same. I hardly ever eat fast food.
（私も似たようなものです。ファストフードはほとんど食べません。）
　
My schedule is pretty much the same as yours.
（私のスケジュールはあなたとほぼ同じです。）
　
We have very much the same personality.
（私たちは性格が全く同じですね。）
　
　
=================================
3) Nothing like（〜とは全然違う）
=================================
　
nothing likeはvery different fromと似た意味合いになり、二つのものや人が全く異なることを意味します。例えば、「発音が全然違うよ」は“It sounds nothing like that.”、「彼は全然私に似ていません」は“He looks nothing like me.”という具合に使います。ちなみに、“There is nothing like ____.”は「〜に勝るものはない」を意味し、「〜は最高だ」と表現する時に使われる口語的な言い回しです。日常会話では、there isを省いて“Nothing like ____.”と言うこともあります。
　
＜例文＞
　
You look nothing like your older brother. Are you guys really siblings?
（全然お兄さんに似ていないね。本当に兄弟なの？）
　
Tokyo is nothing like LA. It’s a completely different kind of vibe out there.
（東京はロスとは全然違うよ。雰囲気が全く違う。）
　
Nothing like an ice cold beer on a hot summer day.
（夏の暑い日には、冷たいビールが最高だ。）
　
　
=================================
4) Pretentious（気取った）
=================================
　
pretentiousは「気取った」や「偉ぶった」を意味する単語です。これはpretend（〜のふりをする）に由来する言葉で、見栄を張っている人や偉そうな態度を取っている人、まるで知識があるかのように振る舞おうとする人に対して使われます。
　
＜例文＞
　
Don’t say things like that. It makes you sound pretentious.
（そういうこと言わない。偉そうに聞こえるよ。）
　
I thought he came off a bit pretentious.
（彼はちょっとお高くとまった感じの人だと思いました。）
　
I don’t mean to sound pretentious, but the proper pronunciation is karaoke.
（気取っているわけではありませんが、正しい発音は「カラオケ」です。）
　
　
=================================
5) Force（強制する）
=================================
　
forceが名詞で使われる場合は「力」や「エネルギー」を意味しますが、動詞として使う場合は「〜を強制する」や「無理やり〜する」を意味します。残業を強要されたり、人がやりたくないことを無理強いするような状況で使われます。
　
＜例文＞
　
My boss forced me to work last weekend. I didn’t even get paid for it.
（先週末は上司に無理やり働かされました。お給料ももらえませんでした。）
　
Don’t force the drawer open. You’re going to break it.
（引き出しを無理やり開けないで。壊れちゃうよ。）
　
I was full, but I forced myself to eat everything.
（お腹いっぱいでしたが、無理して全部食べました。）

同食友講起, 我地又提及到其實 '新 #店小二 ' 比較起以前街市舊舖第一代已經略有不及, 尤其是食物特色. 更何況直接同始祖 '#東寶小館' 比？ 近年已經少反嚟雖然自己都住北角, 但興起忽然大家又有興致再來一趟食下飯..

I think #TungPo polarizes people, some think it is pretentious & the 5% Service Charge is slightly offending, its clichéd, its aimed at tourists especially after being aired by Anthony Bourdain back in the days. Some, even the locals, think it is a fun place to hang out at perched on top of a wet market, reminiscent of the good old Dai Pai Dong days but almost on steroids..!

From a Food Perspective alone, I have always admired their character & creativity in Cantonese cuisine. Sure not every dish works. But if this Prawns Toast recipe was actually a 10 out of 10 in terms of taste, rather than the 7.5/10 level it is at now. Everybody else would have been out of business already lol 🤭🤣🤣

You got to admire different people for what they are n represent.. 👀

Welcome back to Qenggai, where I sit down and have a chat with the most special people in my life!

For the last episode of the season (I know! I can’t believe this is the last), I have a very special guest - Yutakis! Unfortunately, we couldn’t talk to each other in person as he is overseas but that didn’t stop us from spilling the tea! Today, we’ll be talking about when I first met him, Yutakis’s ~pretentious~ side, the side we’ve never heard before aka his childhood, how we became Blood Sisters, and his amazing photo books ‘The Flower Boy’s Tale’ and ‘ Portraitist's Book Of Wonders.’

I hope you guys enjoyed this season of Qenggai and loved getting to know the very important people in my life! But, we’ll definitely come back with a new season so let me know in the comments who you’d like to see!

『 裝B女的基本配備 』
就是有某些女生 會故意裝成和你是同類人 靠近你假借和你做朋友 當你付出了真心毫無私心的對待及珍惜 才知道她們別有用心 只是想體驗你的生活往上爬 在你身邊撈好處 一陣子後現出原形 原來她們竟是最另人作嘔的裝B女 抬高自己 甚至表裡不一 哪裡有好處往哪裡貼 自以為自己比較高級 然後開始嫌你丟臉 嫌你的個性沒水準 嫌你會牽連她們 我只想說 你們這種婊子真的不適合和我當朋友 有多遠請滾多遠 講話直怕受傷 一點小事就怕得要死 那能有什麼出息 滾吧 好好過你們的裝b人生 我並不覺得這樣就比較高尚 今天就在這和大家分享我的一些經驗吧！
希望新的一年 小人退散 
祝大家新年快樂

Some girls will deliberately pretend to be close to you and want to be a friend with you. When you start to paying your heart and selfless, then you will find out they have ulterior motives just want to experience your life and climb up to you. After they got the benefit from you the original appearance is that they are the most disgusting costumes. I don’t think it’s noble. I’m sharing some of my experiences with you today!
