道案内で使える英表現集
=================================
ここ数年、日本を訪れる外国人観光客が急増しており、街中で外国人を見かける機会も増えてきました。また、2020年に開催される東京オリンピックでは政府が訪日外国人観光客数の目標を4千万人台に掲げていることもあり、今後はさらに海外からの来日者が増えることが予想されています。そこで今回は、いざと言う時に役立つ「道案内」の英語表現をいくつかご紹介したいと思います。
~パターン1:(この通りを)まっすぐ進む~
--------------------------------------------------
Go down
→「まっすぐ進む」
--------------------------------------------------
道案内をするときに「この通りをまっすぐ進んでください」と伝えたい時は「Go down this street」と言いましょう。「まっすぐ=Straight」なので「Go straight」と言いたくなりますが、道案内をする場合は「Go down」を使うのがナチュラルです。上り坂の場合は「Go up」と表現することもできますが、基本的には上り坂、下り坂関係なく「Go down」を使うのが日常的な言い方です。
✔「~通りをまっすぐ進みます」→「Go down ____ street」
✔「~までまっすぐ進みます」→「Go down until ____」
<例文>
〜会話例1〜
A: Excuse me, is there a 7-11 around here?
(すみません、この辺にセブンイレブンはありますか?)
B: Go down this street and it'll be on your right.
(この道をまっすぐ進んだら右側にあります、)
〜会話例2〜
A: Excuse me, where is the closest ATM?
(すみません、一番近いATMはどこですか?)
B: Go down 3rd street until you see McDonalds. There's one right there.
(マクドナルドがある所まで3番通りをまっすぐ進んだらありますよ。)
~パターン2:(あの角を)右/左に曲がる~
--------------------------------------------------
Make a right/left
→「右折/左折する」
--------------------------------------------------
右に曲がる、左に曲がるを「Turn right/left」で覚えている人も多いと思いますが、日常会話では「Make」を使った表現が頻繁に使われています。もちろん「Turn right/left」でも問題ありませんが「Make a right」「Make a left」のほうがネイティブっぽい言い方になります。right/leftの前に「a」を加える必要があるので忘れないように。
✔「~通りを右/左に曲がる」→「Make a right/left on ____.」
✔スラングっぽく言いたいのであれば「Hang a right/left」
<例文>
〜会話例1〜
A: Excuse me, how do I get to Shinjuku station?
(すみません、新宿駅までの行き方を教えてくれますか?)
B: Go down this street and make a left at the first light.
(この通りをまっすぐ進んで、最初の信号を右に曲がります。)
〜会話例2〜
A: Excuse me, is there a convenience store around here?
(すみません、この辺にコンビニはありますか?)
B: Yeah, go up this hill and hang a left on Beach Street.
(この坂を上ってビーチ通りを左に曲がるとありますよ。)
~パターン3:(〜を)通り過ぎる~
--------------------------------------------------
Go past
→「~を通り過ぎる」
--------------------------------------------------
「~を通り過ぎる」と表現したい場合は「Go past ____」を使いましょう。「Go past」の他にも、「Drive past」や「Walk past」のような組み合わせもでき、Pastを副詞や前置詞として使うのが一般的です。その他、「(目的地は)〜を過ぎたところにありますよ」と言いたいのであれば、「It's past ____」、「通り過ぎましたよ」は「You passed it」のように表現します。
✔「Past」と「Passed」の発音は全く同じです。
<例文>
〜会話例1〜
A: Excuse me, where is the bus station?
(すみません、バス停はどこですか?)
B: Go past this light and it'll be on your left.
(あの信号を過ぎたら左側にあります。)
〜会話例2〜
A: Excuse me, can you tell me where the ABC hotel is?
(すみません、ABCホテルはどこにあるか教えてくれますか?)
B: You passed it. You have to go back that way.
(通り過ぎましたよ。この通りを戻ってください。)
~パターン4:(〜通りに)あります~
--------------------------------------------------
It's on ____
→「~通りにある」
--------------------------------------------------
目的地が「~通りにあります」と言いたい場合は「It's on ____」と表現しましょう。その他にも、以下のようなバリエーションがあります。
✔「~の隣にあります」→「It's next to ____」
✔「~の向かいです」→「It's across from _____」
✔「~の前/後ろです」→「It's in front/behind of _____」
✔「AとBが交わる角です」→「It's on the corner of A & B」
✔「AとBの間にあります」→「It's between A & B」
<例文>
〜会話例1〜
A: Excuse me, is there a coffee shop around here?
(すみません、この辺にカフェはありますか?)
B: Yes, there's a Starbucks down the street. It's next to McDonalds.
(はい、この通りにスターバックスがあります。マクドナルドの隣です。)
〜会話例2〜
A: Excuse me, can you tell me where ABC restaurant is?
(すみません、ABCレストランはどこですか?)
B: Make a right here and it's across from Mister Donuts.
(ここを右に曲がったら、ミスタードーナッツの向かいにありますよ。)

in front of between behind next to 在 Kyopropaganda Facebook 的最佳貼文
Here's something I wanna share with you guys.
Yesterday, I went to the supermarket with the prudence dictated by the new normal. Mask, Safe entry and safety distance.
I then started to get the things that were on my short list, and when I was lining up to pay, between taking the money and storing the phone, the RM50 note I had to pay fell on the floor, and the man who was in front of me finishing paying his purchases slowly bent down and picked up my note.
Woww, How much education and kindness in these pandemic times - I thought. I held out my hand, waiting for him to give me back my money, trying to stay away, so that he would feel safe, while preparing to thank him for the gesture.
But suddenly, what he told me was shocking - What's on the floor belongs to whoever finds it! - and just like that, he left ... naturally, as if he hadn't done anything wrong.
I looked at the lady behind me and the people next to me and they all looked at me in shock and disbelief, whispering things between them.
For a moment there, I was trying to evaluate myself. I wanted to do justice on my own ... I left my purchases, because I had no way to pay (I forgot to bring my credit card), and went after him to the carpark, to have my RM50 returned.
However, I realized that the people closest to the line came after me, curious to know what was going to happen ...
I spoke to him demanding my money but he just looked at me with contempt and acted like I was invisible.
When he got to the car, he slowly put his four shopping bags on the floor to take the key out of his pocket and open the trunk, and I thought - It's now or never!
I took the four bags and told him the same thing he had said to me - What is on the floor belongs to those who find it! - and I started running towards the exit, between fright and laughter, proud of my revenge.
The spectators started to applaud and I saw that the “smart guy” had been irritated after all, as he left the parking lot dropping security cones in his path.
I swear I felt a rush of adrenaline, fright and nervousness, but then I cried with laughter.
When I got home I opened the bags and found:
- 2 kg XL prawn
- 1 kg of salmon
- 2 box of Aachi biryani masala
- 1 jar of Nuttela
- 5 tube Cŕeam cheese
- 10 kg of basmathi rice
- 1 jar of mayonnaise
I had never made so many purchases with only RM50.
And now here I am ... Having a glass of hot milo, eating and thinking as I write - am I a vigilante or a vindictive person?
HAVE YOU READ THIS UNTIL HERE?
This obviously did not happen to me. It's just a campaign to promote reading!
Reading stimulates the mind and imagination, makes us travel to other places and even helps communication.
If you want to copy and paste and produce a smile from your friends.
Please go ahead, stimulate someone else's mind 🤣
Reading an entire article also prevents you from becoming a victim of click bait and fake news 👍
