Good morning, everyone. This is Masayama writing. Today, I'd like to show you a couple of teachings of our taecher, Mr. Gosney, in the beginner classes held on 8th and 9th, May.


①皆さん、a couple of ~ というと幾つを思い浮かべられますか?そう、普通は2ですよね。そしてaboutに2~3ですよね。ところがGosney先生によると、場合によっては4まで含めることがあるそうです。後で調べたんですが several だって3~5が普通ですが、場合によっては6まで含めることがあるそうです。これって殆ど個人の主観の問題ですね。


②それから、listen to ~という慣用句。皆さんご存知の通り「~に耳を傾ける」の意ですよね。でも「ラジオを聴く」を一般的に表現する場合は、listen to the radio と必ず the が要るそうです。でも「音楽を聴く」と一般的に言う場合は、listen to music ですよね!ああ~、冠詞の扱いは難しいなあ~。因みに、listen to a radio の場合は、「ラジオ放送/番組を聞く」という意味になるそうです。


③皆さん、「できれば止めて頂けませんか」と言う場合、どんな表現を使いますか?Gosney先生は I'd rather you didn't ~. と言われました。例えば I'd rather you didn't smoke here. でもなぜ、I'd rather you don't ~. と言わないのでしょう。これも表現を和らげる婉曲法かな~。
