SPEAKING
Ai and Jake ate at one of the restaurants they read about online and are now walking back to their hotel.
アイとジェイクはウェブサイトで見つけたレストランで食事をし、ホテルに戻るために歩いています。
 |
- Jake:
Are you sure that was a three-star restaurant? The food wasn’t even that good.
- Ai:
Oh, really? Well, I enjoyed it.
- Jake:
You enjoyed it? It was horrible! The salad was too dry, the soup wasn’t spicy enough, and the stir-fried noodles were way too salty! And, honestly, I think the lobster rolls were overcooked too.
- Ai:
Are you serious? I agree that the stir-fried noodles were a bit too salty, but I thought the lobster rolls were cooked just right. They were tender enough for me. I enjoyed the tom yum soup and salad too. Also, the dessert was amazing. It was just sweet enough. I think the problem is you, not the restaurant!
- Jake:
Maybe your standards are too low.
- Ai:
Well, I did marry you!
- Jake:
(laughs) True, true.
TRIVIA
In many cases, the phrases I disagree with you or I don’t agree with you can sound like you’re trying to start a fight. To express your disagreement politely, you can use Oh, really? or Are you serious? instead.
A: Tim’s a bit rude.
Δ B: I disagree with you. I think he’s nice.
A: Tim’s a bit rude.
O B: Oh, really? I think he’s nice.
「I disagree with you」 または 「I don’t agree with you」 というフレーズを使うと、相手に喧嘩を売っていることになることがあります。同意できないことを丁寧に言うには、「Oh, really?」 または 「Are you serious?」 と言いましょう。
A: ティムはちょっと失礼ですね。
Δ B: そうは思いません。彼はいい人だと思います。
A: ティムはちょっと失礼ですね。
O B: え、そうですか？彼はいい人だと思います。
