意外と知られていない「Please」の用法
=================================
おそらく日本人の多くの方にとって、英語の「Please」と言えば、お願いをごとをする時の定番表現だと思います。しかし、アメリカ人の間では他の意味としてもよく使われているので、その意味と用法をご紹介しようと思います。
--------------------------------------------------
You can't please everyone.
→「全ての人を喜ばすことはできないよ」
--------------------------------------------------
人の為に一生懸命頑張って取り組んだのにも関わらず、不満の声が出たり、悪口を言われて落ち込んでいる人を励ます際によく使われる言い回しです。ここでのPleaseは、「喜ばせる」や「満足させる」などの意味(動詞)として使われており、直訳すると「あなたは全員を喜ばせることはできない」、つまりどれだけ頑張っても万人を喜ばせたり楽しませたりすることは不可能であることを示唆しています。
✔「You can't make everyone happy.」も同じ意味として使える言い回し。
<例文>
You should to stop trying to please everyone.
(全員を喜ばせようとするのはやめたほうがいいですよ。)
Get over it. You can't please everyone.
(そんなこと忘れな。みんなを満足させることなんて無理だって。)
You can't make everyone happy. Stop trying.
(みんなを喜ばせることは無理なんだから、やめな。)
〜会話例1〜
A: I wonder why he's so upset. I was just trying to help.
(何で彼はあんなに怒ってたんやろ。ただ助けようとしただけやのに。)
B: Look you can't please everyone. Don't let it get to you.
(全ての人を満足させることなんてできひんって。気にせんとき。)
〜会話例2〜
A: You know that you can't make everyone happy, right?
(みんなを喜ばすことことはできないって分かっているでしょう?)
B: I know but I just can't stop thinking about it.
(分かっているんだけど、頭から離れないんだよね。)

I almost forgot it's Sunday today. And I also didn't notice that I've stayed home for over 3 days.
道爸從小一直都是瘦子 皮包骨那種
到大學時代也沒胖過 頭髮及肩痞痞的像剛出道的鄭中基
但他當年去德州唸研究所以後
我有將近一年沒看到他
直到有一天我發現我們家多了一張照片
影中人胖胖的、頭髮長但不是時髦長、戴著眼鏡、
穿著大大的夾克
我研究了半天才發現那位竟然是我親弟弟
我嚇一跳 從此對美國的刻板印象又多了一項
就是人到了那邊會變胖 而且不再在乎自己好不好看了
後來我有兩年常去紐約出差 而且活動範圍都在上東區
見到的很多人並不是胖胖的邋遢人
所以我又判斷也可能是因為道爸唸書的地方在德州吧
再加上他本來就喜歡可樂、啤酒、大塊肉、漢堡、薯條
所以瘦子去了不到一年就變化成
親姐看到照片認不出來自己的弟弟
對於這件事 我印象極深刻
今天 我再度戴著近視眼鏡到附近的餐廳
並且距離上一次出家門是四天前
我坐在戶外用餐區 突然發現
媽呀 除了結膜炎之外
這輩子也沒有戴著近視眼鏡還加碼綁著兩個辮子
就走出家門的時候
而我居然是在紐約隔壁的紐澤西做這件事
然後我想到了當年的道爸
I can't help but wonder
難道我們姐弟有被上天偷偷安排
到美國來住就會變成胖胖又不修邊幅的阿宅嗎?
沒什麼特別的事 就是今天對自己的小感想
台灣的圈兒們祝你們週一一切順心
by 來自紐約隔壁不知道有沒有被老天爺指定身分
的邋遢胖宅

It's nice to see things starting to open up as the vaccines are coming out. However, recent crimes against Asian Americans really concern me, as an Asian American. Despite none of us, can really get in the heads of these criminals, we can't deny there's a pattern here. And I can't help wonder why this is all happening?
When I was a kid, I'm sure many of you also feel racism existed growing up, even if you couldn't pinpoint what it was as a kid, though it was more of an immature thing at school people joked about. But this disturbing, and I send my prayers to all the ones who's family have been affected directly or are also worried for their families right now🙏

Seriously, Billie's voice melted my heart.
6 Feet Under-Billie Eilish lyrics:
Help, I lost myself again
But I remember you
Don't come back
It won't end well
But I wish you'd tell me to
Our love is six feet under
I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Would roses bloom?
Could roses bloom
Again?
Retrace my lips
Erase your touch
It's all too much for me
Blow away
Like smoke in air
How can you die carelessly?
Our love is six feet under
I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Would roses bloom?
Could roses bloom?
They're playin' our sound
Layin' us down tonight
And all of these clouds
Crying us back to life
But you're cold as a night
Six feet under
I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Bloom
Bloom
Again
Help, I lost myself again
But I remember you

Hello Youtube Family,
Today’s Vlog:
Baby Bath Time!
Stroller Shopping,
Whole New Game,
Chubbi Knows!
What is it that's so magical about baths? It can turn a grumpy baby into a relaxed happy baby. It's no wonder it's one of my favourite moments of my day to see Ayla splash so happily. When I watch her in the water, I can't help but imagine how things must've been like as she swam inside my amniotic fluid.
Tim and Isaac are 100% recovered again thank goodness. Flu season is here so remember to take care everyone!
Huge thank you so much to the lovely folks at Samuel Johnson for inviting us to your store. It's not only special to hear from a local company but also one that has also supported my family's business for over a decade. We had a fantastic time and you guys were extremely helpful. We hadn't purchased a stroller yet so it was the perfect time. It was incredibly find for you guys to offer one completely on the house too.
If you guys are wondering, we chose the Jane Minnum iMatrix system. You can check it out here: https://www.samueljohnston.com/en/Jan...
Alternatively, you can also visit http://www.jane-uk.com
Love, the Bubz family
Disclaimer: The guys at Samuel Johnson were kind to offer us a free stroller but they did not pay us to make this video.

There was this one week where it was one celebration after another. It felt so funny to have to dress up so many times in a week. I've been attending so many weddings lately, a friend just asked the question - "Do you think its a trend or is it age?" We're attending a wedding almost every week and we can't help but just wonder, if this is a phase in life where everybody's just asking the SAME question everywhere you go. "When's yours?"
HALP ME.
On a side note, I also realised in the process of getting ready - I have slowly developed a dilly dally habit when it comes to getting ready. I just love the moments where I am getting ready and have all the time in the world to do my make up. Maybe that's how people spend an hour just getting ready. I'm getting the hang of it. Just sitting there with Spotify playing in the background, you feel like the world has stopped for you. Then you wake up from the dream, and you're already 30 minutes late to wherever you're going.
Crap.
