☆ネイティブの生の会話からリアルな英語を学ぶ☆
=================================
1) Put down(支払う)
=================================
put downは様々な意味を持つ表現ですが、今日の会話では「お金を支払う」意味で使われています。しかし、日常会話では単にお金を支払うのではなく「頭金を支払う」意味で使われることが一般的で、例えば「車の頭金を払う」は「Put down a deposit on a car.」と言います。
<例文>
I’m thinking about buying a house. How much should I put down?
(家を買おうと思っているんだけど、頭金はいくらくらい必要かな?)
I put down a deposit on a house today.
(今日は家の頭金を支払いました。)
The bill’s a hundred bucks. What should we do for tip? How much should we put down?
(会計は100ドルだって。チップどうしようか?いくら払おうか?)
=================================
2) Chunk of(たくさんの〜)
=================================
chunkは「大きな塊」や「肉や野菜などのぶつ切り」を意味し、例えばchunk of meatで「肉の塊」となります。しかし日常会話では、「かなりの量」という意味でも使われ、例えばchunk of moneyは「かなりの額」となります。量が多いことを強調するときに、a good chunk of ____、a fair chunk of ____、a big chunk of ____ と表現します。
ちなみに、今日の会話でマリナは「小銭」を意味するchangeを使ってa fair chunk of changeと言いましたが、ここでは「たくさんの小銭」ではなく「かなりの額を払った」ことを意味します。
<例文>
A good chunk of my salary goes to rent every month.
(毎月、給料のほとんどが家賃に消えます。)
That’s a huge chunk of meat. How are you planning on cooking that?
(すごい肉の塊ですね。それをどうやって料理する予定なんですか?)
I visited Kyoto and Osaka but I spent a big chunk of my time in Tokyo.
(京都と大阪にも行きましたが、ほとんど東京で過ごしました。)
=================================
3) Factor into(〜を考慮する)
=================================
factor into は「〜を考慮する」を意味し、considerのより口語的な言い方として使われます。特にある決断をする前に何かを考慮に入れることを表し、一般的には factor in と表します。
<例文>
We have to factor in many things before making a decision.
(決断を下す前に考慮しないといけないことがたくさんあります。)
I forgot to factor in transportation fees in my budget.
(自分の予算に交通費を考慮するのを忘れていました。)
Everyone lives all over the world. We have to factor in the time difference.
(誰もが世界中で暮らしているので時差を考慮しないといけません。)
=================================
4) Take a toll(〜を損なう)
=================================
take a tollは、体に負担がかかり健康が損なわれるなど、何かしらのダメージを与えることを表す日常表現です。一気にではなく、徐々にダメージを与えるニュアンスがあります。
<例文>
You should try to avoid running on concrete. It takes a toll on your knees.
(コンクリートの上を走ると膝に負担がかかるから、避けたほうがいいよ。)
It seems like this new job is taking a toll on your body.
(この新しい仕事はあなたの体に負担をかけているように見えます。)
Being around someone who complains all the time takes a toll on your mental health.
(いつも愚痴ばかり言っている人の側にいると、心の健康が損なわれます。)
=================================
5) Torn between A & B(AとBのどちらにしようか悩む)
=================================
「裂け目」や「割れ目」を意味するtornは、何かしらの問題に板挟みになって悩んだり迷ったりしていることを表す時に使われます。この表現は感情的な悩み事に対して使われるのがポイントで、どちらにするべきか2つの感情の狭間で悩み「心が引き裂かれそう」になる様子をイメージすると覚えやすいでしょう。今日の会話では torn between A or Bと言いましたが、一般的には torn between A & Bと言います。
<例文>
I’m torn between the iPhone and Android. Which one do you think is better?
(iPhoneかAndroidか悩むな。どっちがいいと思う?)
I'm torn between going to Canada and Australia. I can’t make up my mind.
(カナダに行くかオーストラリアに行くか迷うな。決められないよ。)
I’m torn between telling the truth and keeping my friend’s secret.
(真実を話すべきか、友達の秘密を守るべきか迷っています。)

canada rent house 在 半路出家軟體工程師在矽谷 Facebook 的最佳解答
從不同的角度看矽谷,"Being a Writer in Silicon Valley." 在講求科技、創業、速度的矽谷,一個需要慢慢打磨精鍊的作家是怎麼感受的呢?目前的科技榮景和1849年的掏金熱有什麼相似之處?我過去提到許多矽谷的優缺點,不同角度的觀察又是如何?不論你是軟體工程師、作家、在矽谷工作、在台灣或其他地方生活,相信你都會有所體悟收穫。

...
It was a time of paramount uncertainty, and as I procrastinated on my own job search, I found myself researching the gold rush in 1849—because that was why we were here, wasn’t it—to find money? Somewhere in the back of my mind, I recalled Brian mentioning something about dreams and entrepreneurship, but with both of us unemployed, the focus became loud and clear: this was about paying the rent. We had uprooted ourselves from our once stable life and journeyed all the way here, just as gold-seekers did in the nineteenth century. Like them, we had spent a big chunk of our savings on the equivalent of picks, shovels, and pans—the mining supplies, and still we had not uncovered a speck of gold.
...
There have been three phases in my Silicon Valley journey: the panic and desperation that we weren’t ever going to find any gold; the irrational frenzy when I believed I would uncover as much gold as I wanted so long as I kept digging; and now, reality setting in.
It’s been two years since we first arrived, and every day I ask myself what it means, exactly, to live in Silicon Valley. I ask it as I sit in Bay Area’s notorious deadlock traffic, both to and from work. I ask it as a friend loses the bidding war for a two-million-dollar house in Palo Alto, not because he can’t afford the mortgage, but because someone else is paying in full cash. I ask it as a summer intern from Canada tells me he is paying twelve hundred dollars a month to share a house in Mountain View with twenty-three other tenants. They each get a bunk bed and collectively share two bathrooms, so he showers and brushes his teeth at work.
Stories like these are countless, and are the usual topic of conversation both at work and in my social life. I’ve been hearing them from the moment I arrived at Silicon Valley, and I find myself contributing more and more anecdotes, even as I grow sick of them. In my two years, I’ve already seen so many people come and go. Here, everyone is just passing through: there is the influx of hopeful newcomers, like I myself once was, and there is the overwhelming number of people leaving, moving to Seattle, Reno, Portland, San Diego, Tuscan. The reasons for departure are all different but also the same: they can’t afford to buy a house, the schooling is too competitive for their kids, there’s no time for anything but work. I used to listen to these stories with a streak of rebellion, believing I would be the exception to the rule; now, I scoff at my former naiveté.
...
Brian is forever encouraging me to churn out my writing following the “minimum viable product” concept, a golden rule software developers use to push out a new product with just enough features to get by, and then fine-tune it afterwards. There is a print out on our wall of two donuts to explain this theory: one donut is plain—so plain it barely passes for a donut except that there is clearly a hole at the center; the other is the donut of everyone’s dreams, glazed with strawberry icing and rainbow sprinkles. Brian suggests I focus my energy on baking a tray-full of stories that are like the first donut—rudimentary, but functional—before I worry about the fancy decoration. But that’s not how art works, I cry. In art, rarely does one start out with a clear blueprint of the end product in mind. I have to feel my way, maybe work backwards and start with the rainbow sprinkles; I may discover half-way into the process that the donut I’m trying to make is actually a bagel, or even a cake. These are the arguments I make, anyway, to justify why I still haven’t baked all those stories.
But what do I know? My husband may be right, and that may be exactly how I should be writing—after all, it may require an unconventional approach for a writer to continue writing in Silicon Valley.

canada rent house 在 黃色的旅行者 Yellow Tremper Facebook 的精選貼文
No.1 high cost city in the world, we've all heard about how crowded their pollution is and today let me show you how exactly they are living in.
(by what they told us this is already the biggest house they known compare to all their connection...and this bring them one another problem: none of the young people really willing to continuing their life here in HK, since no one could really afford to manage to get 'emself a place during their limited life so most of them have been moving to England, Canada and Taiwan for the better life quality. )
Some more information:
1.A rent for 3 to 3.5 square meter room with share kitchen and bathroom is about 5000HKD(about 600EUD or 650USD) is the price for pay to live in the city with her classmate.
Watch the video and feel happy about what we got, shall we :)
2.We have been paid 420HKD for the hostel bed per day which is about 50EUD or 55USD.
看看香港人的真生活,其實跟我們住的重慶大廈房間大小沒差多少說,XD#DiscoverHongKong
