「Pretty」の様々な用法
=================================
皆さんは「Pretty」と言えば何が頭に思い浮かびますか?おそらく多くの人は「可愛い」が真っ先に思いつくのではないでしょうか?勿論、間違いではありませんが、ネイティブの日常会話ではこの「Pretty」という単語、その他にも色々な状況で使われていますのでご紹介しようと思います。
--------------------------------------------------
1) She is pretty.
→「彼女は可愛いですね」
--------------------------------------------------
整った顔立ちの女性や、可愛いらしい女の子を表す際によく使われる表現です。大人の女性に対して使うこともできますが、幼い可愛らしさの意味合いが含まれることから、どちらかと言えば若い女性(10代〜20代前半)に対してよく使われます。
✔“Beautiful”も同じような意味ですが、“Beautiful”は「綺麗な大人の女性」の意味合いが強く、外見に限らず中身が美しい人や知的美人など、内面からの美しさが滲み出ている人のことを指す。綺麗さで言えば“Pretty”よりも“Beautiful”の方が上。
<例文>
Your daughter is so pretty!
(あなたの娘さんはとても可愛いですね。)
I think she's pretty but she's so stuck up!
(彼女は確かに綺麗やねんけど、めっちゃ生意気やねんな〜。)
That dress looks great on you. You look so pretty!
(そのドレス似合っているね。すごく綺麗っ!)
--------------------------------------------------
2) That's a pretty necklace.
→「素敵なネックレスですね」
--------------------------------------------------
洋服やヘアースタイル、絵画から景色まで、目に入ってくるものが「素敵だね」と褒める場合によく使われるフレーズです。また、響きのいい名前の人に「That's a pretty name.(素敵な名前だね)」と言うように、視覚的要因以外に対しても使うことが出来ます。
✔一般的に女性が使う表現。
<例文>
Your scarf is so pretty! Where did you get it?
(素敵なマフラーだね。どこで買ったの?)
The sunset is so pretty! Let's take a picture.
(綺麗な夕焼けだね。写真撮ろうよ。)
This song is so pretty. Do you know who sings this song?
(ええ曲やな〜。歌ってるのは誰なん?)
--------------------------------------------------
3) It's pretty cold today.
→「今日は結構寒いですね」
--------------------------------------------------
この用法はネイティブの日常会話で最も頻繁に使われます。意味は“Very”とよく似ていますが、“Pretty”は“Very”よりワンランク下と覚えたら分かりやすいかと。例えば、「今日はとても寒いですね」は「It's very cold.」になりますが、「今日は結構寒いですね」は「It's pretty cold.」になります。また、「思っていたより〜だ」というニュアンスも含まれ、「It's pretty cold here.」と言うと「ここは思っていたより寒いね」という驚きの感情を表します。
<例文>
This curry is a little spicy but it's pretty good.
(このカレーちょっと辛いけど、なかなか美味しいね。)
That test was pretty hard. I thought it was going to be easy.
(あのテスト想像以上に難しかったわ〜。もっと簡単やおもてたわ・・・)
San Francisco is pretty far away. It's about a 6 hour drive.
(サンフランシスコは結構遠いよ。車で6時間くらいかかるからね。)
--------------------------------------------------
4) I'm pretty good.
→「元気だよ・まあままだね」
--------------------------------------------------
「How are you?」に対する返事の定番フレーズです。“Pretty good”は捉え方次第で「元気」と「まあまあ」の両方の意味を成します。ポイントは口調にあり、元気よく言えば「調子がいい」になりますが、元気のない声で言うと「まあまあ」になります。また“Pretty good”だと思う対象は、人の調子やコンディションに限らず、様々な状況で使うことが出来ます。
<例文>
It's pretty good. I've had better pizza.
(まあまあだね。もっと美味しいピザを食べたことあるけど。)
It was a pretty good movie. The ending was anticlimactic though.
(あっけない結末やったけど、ま〜ぼちぼちおもろい映画やったで。)
I'm pretty good at basketball. I played 4 years in high school.
(バスケはそこそこ上手だよ。高校の時に4年間やっていたからね。)
--------------------------------------------------
5) I'm pretty much done.
→「大体終わりました」
--------------------------------------------------
“Pretty much”は「大体」「ほとんど」「ほぼ」などを意味し、日常会話では“Almost”の代わりによく使われる口語的な表現です。しかし“Pretty much”は“Almost”より完成や終わりに近いニュアンスがあります。
<例文>
I can pretty much eat anything.
(大体何でも食べれんで。)
That's pretty much it. Does anyone have any questions?
(大体そんなところです。何か質問はありますか?)
I pretty much study English every night.
(ほぼ毎晩、英語の勉強をしています。)

【國立臺灣大學109學年度畢業典禮 致詞代表 資訊工程學系韓哈斯】
Student Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
International student Seth Austin Harding from Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering
.
校長、教授、以及在螢幕前的各位同學,大家好。非常感謝臺大給我這個機會。我是韓哈斯,來自美國華盛頓特區。我會以自身的真實經驗出發,來跟大家分享臺大帶給我的收穫。
我當初為什麼選擇來台灣求學呢?我小時候非常喜歡看武打片,然後我十歲的時候去看了一部電影叫做「功夫熊貓」。這部電影成為了我最喜歡的電影,主角「阿波」的故事跟我的故事很像。我看完了之後就決定要開始學功夫,所以去了「美國武術學院」。那個時候我每天都聽旁邊的人講中文,到了高中我就決定開始學中文。當時我遇到了一位貴人,她是從台北到美國來教書的中文老師,她教的課是我當時最喜歡的課,我每天去她的教室跟好朋友練習。到了高中畢業時,我是全高中中文最好的非母語人士。同時,我第二喜歡的課程是電腦科學,那時候我是程式能力數一數二的學生。後來在成功錄取夢寐以求的學校:臺灣大學之後,我感到雀躍不已,因為我既可以繼續學習中文,也可以持續在世界頂尖的學府中,往電腦科學的方向精進自我。
不過老實說,當我回顧大一的時期,我也曾迷失自我。雖然我修了很多很多的中文課,但是我那時只聽得懂大概一半的課程內容。跟大家對美國人的印象不同,我其實很害羞,也很害怕舉手提問,我甚至不太敢參與社交,所以當時朋友也很少。我開始想家,也變得有一點憂鬱。那時籃球是我唯一的紓壓方式。
但更不幸的是,我在打籃球時弄傷了我的前十字韌帶,做了兩次手術,需要一年半才能恢復。許多的負面情緒壓得我喘不過氣。我被困在人生的低谷,不知如何是好。我覺得我的中文不夠好,我也被診斷出失眠跟ADHD,另外,美國高中的數學太簡單了,來這邊不夠用。種種壓力讓我足不出戶,找不到自己的人生方向。後來,我向臺大心輔中心以及我的心理醫師尋求協助,然後我也開始跟系上有更多互動。有一位教授叫徐宏民跟我說,"Never give up",雖然那時候我覺得這句話太過於簡化了我的問題,不過,在我仔細思考了一個禮拜之後,我下定決心,發誓不讓自己被這些事擊敗。我決定要克盡全力,認真做好每件事。這是我人生的轉捩點,我開始變得異常自律。當時廖世偉教授和洪士灝系主任帶我進入它們的研究室鑽研學術。這重燃了我對資訊工程的熱忱,提醒了我當初會愛上這個領域的原因。我開始研究人工智慧以及區塊鏈,也開始跟其他系上同學交朋友,一起成立臺大人工智慧應用社NTUAI。NTUAI現在是校內頗具規模的技術研究社團,致力於推廣人工智慧給任何對該領域有熱忱的學生。歡迎加入NTUAI,可以掃描我們的QR CODE。
最近,由於疫情的緣故,我已經一年半沒回美國了。但是沒關係,因為我已經找到了我第二個家。我很愛臺大,以及台灣的人事物。雖然我經歷了人生的低潮,但這裡的一切總是給我滿滿的祝福與協助。最後,我想送給大家「功夫熊貓」裡的一句台詞: "You just need to believe"。只要用樂觀的態度去面對困難,就有能力改變自己,甚至改變身旁所愛的人。就像阿波的父親說的,"心誠則靈,只要你相信,點石就能成金。根本沒有什麼秘笈。只有你。"謝謝大家。

President, professors, and classmates, I'm very honored to be here. Thank you to NTU for giving me this opportunity. My name's Seth Austin Harding, and I'm from the D.C. metropolitan area. I'm going to tell a real story that's personal but that's relatable and what I see as the real me.
What motivated and guided me to take my undergraduate studies in Taiwan? When I was very young, I really loved watching kung fu movies, and when I was 10 years old, I went to the theater to watch "Kung Fu Panda". This became my favorite movie as I felt like the story of the main character Po was one to which I could very much relate. After watching this movie, I decided that I wanted to start learning kung fu, so I went to the United States Wushu Academy. At the time, I began hearing Mandarin on a daily basis, so when I was in high school, I decided to begin formally studying Chinese. It ended up being my Chinese teacher from Taipei who was my favorite teacher who taught my favorite class, so I decided I'd hang out in the Chinese classroom every day and practice lots. By the time graduation came around, I had attained the highest proficiency in Chinese among any non-native speaker in my school. My second favorite class was computer science, and I ended up attaining among the best coding skills in my school. After getting accepted to the school of my dreams -- National Taiwan University -- I felt honored, humbled, and excited; I could now spend time at among the world's finest universities studying Chinese and at the same time advancing my knowledge of computer science.
But when I look back at my freshman year, to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Despite having taken very many Chinese classes, when I went to the NTU lectures, I understood only about half of what the teachers were saying. Contrary to most people's impressions of an American, I was actually too shy to raise my hand, to ask questions, or to even meet with teachers after class, so I had very few friends at the time. I started to become homesick and depressed. At that time, I found that basketball was the only way I knew of relieving my stress. However, while playing basketball, I had torn my ACL and it would take two surgeries and a year and a half in time to fully recover. At this point, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, this was the lowest point of my life, and I didn't know what to do. I felt like my Chinese wasn't good enough, I had been diagnosed with insomnia and ADHD, and I felt like the math taught in America was too simple to allow for me to keep up with my classmates. I was under immense pressure, and at this time, I lost any sense of purpose or direction. Later on, I went to seek help from NTU counseling, from my psychiatrist, and from my department. I reached out to Professor Winston Hsu from CSIE, and he told me this: "Never give up"; it was such an oversimplified way to approach such a complex series of problems, I had thought. However, I pondered these words intensely for one week, and by the end of that week, I had made a firm decision. This would NOT be another example of me giving up. I decided to go all out, to work diligently and passionately on all tasks at hand. This was the turning point of my life; I started to discipline myself to a very high degree. At this time, I met my then-to-become advisors Professor Shih-Wei Liao and Professor Shih-Hao Hung and entered their labs to begin research. Finally, the passion that I had for computer science that I had previously held in high school was kindled again, and I was finally reminded why I loved this field. I began my research life in blockchain and AI, and at the time I entered the lab, I also began creating NTUAI. NTUAI is now a large and highly successful NTU club that is dedicated to the research and public understanding of AI. Welcome one and all to join us; please scan our QR code here.
For a year and a half I haven't returned to America because of covid. But not to worry; I have found my second home, away from home. I love it here in NTU and I cherish all of the things I've had the privilege to experience in Taiwan. I've gone through the most difficult of struggles in my life here, but I've also had the most fortunate and blessed of experiences. To conclude, I'd like to quote a line from "Kung Fu Panda": "You just need to believe". As long as you are willing to adopt an optimistic attitude in facing challenges and hardships, you may become a positive force in changing the lives of those around you as well as your own life. It all depends on how you view it; just like what Po's father says, "there is no secret ingredient. It's just you." Thank you, everyone.

Exactly 14 weeks after leading Bethel High School to the state Group AAA football championship and saying he wanted to do the same thing in basketball, Allen Iverson teamed with backcourt partner Tony Rutland to do just that Saturday night.
Iverson and Rutland combined for 58 points, and both produced crucial plays in the final 1:27 to ensure a 77-71 Bruins victory against pesky John Marshall of Richmond with 3,100 looking on at University Hall.
Bethel (28-3) capped the most successf
ALLEN IVERSON, 6-1, Jr., Bethel. Maybe the nation's best high school point guard, the first team Parade All-American led the Bruins to their first state, Eastern Region and Peninsula District titles. He averaged 31.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game. He scored 948 points, breaking a 20-year-old state record held by Moses Malone of Petersburg High. He is at the top of the list when players having the complete package of skills are discussed.
