☆ネイティブの生の会話からリアルな英語を学ぶ☆
=================================
1) Either way(どちらにしても〜だ)
=================================
eitherは「二つのうちどちらか一方」を意味することから、either wayは「どっちでも〜だ」や「どちらにせよ〜だ」を意味します。「どっちでもいいよ」は“I’m fine either way. ”、「どちらにせよ、それは重要ではない」は“Either way, it’s not important. ”という具合に使われます。ちなみに、今日の会話で使われた“It could go either way.”は「どちらに転んでもおかしくない」を意味します。
<例文>
I’m fine either way. I don’t have a preference.
(どっちでもいいよ。特に好みはないから。)
Either way, it’s expensive. Let’s just fly there.
(どちらにしても高いから飛行機で行こう。)
I have no idea who’s going to win tonight. It could go either way.
(今夜は誰が勝つか全然分からない。どっちが勝ってもおかしくないよ。)
=================================
2) Much the same(ほぼ同じ)
=================================
much the sameは「ほとんど同じ」や「大差がない」を意味する表現で、almost the sameと同じ意味合いになります。「私もほぼ同じです」は“I’m much the same.”といいますが、ネイティブはよく“I’m pretty much the same.”と表現します。ちなみに、「全く同じである」はvery much the sameと言います。
<例文>
I’m much the same. I hardly ever eat fast food.
(私も似たようなものです。ファストフードはほとんど食べません。)
My schedule is pretty much the same as yours.
(私のスケジュールはあなたとほぼ同じです。)
We have very much the same personality.
(私たちは性格が全く同じですね。)
=================================
3) Nothing like(〜とは全然違う)
=================================
nothing likeはvery different fromと似た意味合いになり、二つのものや人が全く異なることを意味します。例えば、「発音が全然違うよ」は“It sounds nothing like that.”、「彼は全然私に似ていません」は“He looks nothing like me.”という具合に使います。ちなみに、“There is nothing like ____.”は「〜に勝るものはない」を意味し、「〜は最高だ」と表現する時に使われる口語的な言い回しです。日常会話では、there isを省いて“Nothing like ____.”と言うこともあります。
<例文>
You look nothing like your older brother. Are you guys really siblings?
(全然お兄さんに似ていないね。本当に兄弟なの?)
Tokyo is nothing like LA. It’s a completely different kind of vibe out there.
(東京はロスとは全然違うよ。雰囲気が全く違う。)
Nothing like an ice cold beer on a hot summer day.
(夏の暑い日には、冷たいビールが最高だ。)
=================================
4) Pretentious(気取った)
=================================
pretentiousは「気取った」や「偉ぶった」を意味する単語です。これはpretend(〜のふりをする)に由来する言葉で、見栄を張っている人や偉そうな態度を取っている人、まるで知識があるかのように振る舞おうとする人に対して使われます。
<例文>
Don’t say things like that. It makes you sound pretentious.
(そういうこと言わない。偉そうに聞こえるよ。)
I thought he came off a bit pretentious.
(彼はちょっとお高くとまった感じの人だと思いました。)
I don’t mean to sound pretentious, but the proper pronunciation is karaoke.
(気取っているわけではありませんが、正しい発音は「カラオケ」です。)
=================================
5) Force(強制する)
=================================
forceが名詞で使われる場合は「力」や「エネルギー」を意味しますが、動詞として使う場合は「〜を強制する」や「無理やり〜する」を意味します。残業を強要されたり、人がやりたくないことを無理強いするような状況で使われます。
<例文>
My boss forced me to work last weekend. I didn’t even get paid for it.
(先週末は上司に無理やり働かされました。お給料ももらえませんでした。)
Don’t force the drawer open. You’re going to break it.
(引き出しを無理やり開けないで。壊れちゃうよ。)
I was full, but I forced myself to eat everything.
(お腹いっぱいでしたが、無理して全部食べました。)

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT RAMUNE ラムネ (JAPANESE MARBLE SODA)
Ramune is a popular carbonated soft drink from Japan - one of the modern symbols of the Japanese summer.
Some people call it the most complicated soft drink in the world, but it’s really quite simple. The drink is pressure sealed with a marble from the inside, and you have this 'pushy device' that you push inside the neck to dislodge the marble.
1) RAMUNE WAS INVENTED BY A SCOT
In 1884 during the Meiji period, this Scottish dude, Alexander Cameron Sim, had his own Pharmaceutical company in Kobe. Apparently it was a trend amongst pharmacists to invent their own drink concoctions. Some were hits, some were misses. Sim's drink - named Mabu soda at the time, mabu meaning marble - was a massive hit. Eventually the name was changed to Ramune and the drink was sold nationwide. Ramune is an epic Japanese drink, so it’s no surprise Sim has his very own monument in Kobe.
2) RAMUNE WAS JAPAN'S FIRST EVER SOFT DRINK
We’re talking about the first mainstream commercialised soft drink in Japan. It wasn’t Coke. It wasn’t Ginger Ale. It was Ramune.
3) RAMUNE IS HEALTHIER THAN COKE
One reason Ramune has been growing in popularity is cause of the lower calorie and carbohydrate count. Although these levels can differ depending on the Ramune flavour. People trying to lose weight sometimes drink Ramune as a substitute for Coke or for any other regular soft drink.
4) PEOPLE INITIALLY THOUGHT RAMUNE DRINKS WERE BOMBS
Back in the 1850s, Matthew C. Perry, a Commodore of the United States Navy (who played a leading role in the opening of Japan to the West), brought carbonated sodas over to Japan. Perry and co. presented these special beverages as gifts.
A Johnny Knoxville type crew member thought it would be a funny idea to shake up some of the fizzy sodas before offering them to the Japanese. After it exploded in their faces, many thought they were bombs! It almost started a war.
Later on, when commercial Ramune was released to the public, many people were suspicious of this foreign mystery drink that may or may not explode in your face like a bomb. Not to mention carbonation was unheard of.
5) RAMUNE USED TO BE UNPOPULAR
It wasn’t called Ramune at the beginning. It was called ‘Remon Sui’ which directly translates to lemon water.
Eventually the name was changed to Remoneedo, which is the straight Japanese pronunciation of the word ‘lemonade’. And later on shortened to just Ramune. The drink then became a massive hit.
6) RAMUNE WAS ORIGINALLY MARKETED AS A PREVENTION FOR CHOLERA
This is bullcrap, but along with the Ramune name change, this bit of false marketing helped its popularity.
7) THERE ARE OVER 36 FLAVOURS OF RAMUNE
Ramune is super popular, but after the influx of newer soft drinks into the marketplace, like Coke, Fanta, Sprite, etc; the Ramune higher ups felt they needed to spice things up.
There are fruit flavours like banana, blueberry, grape, orange, green apple, kiwi, peach, pineapple, plum, cherry, coconut, mango, melon, pomelo, watermelon, raspberry, strawberry and lychee. Then there’s vanilla, chocolate, candy, root beer and coke flavours.
More WTF ones include champagne, bubble gum, green tea, chill oil, brussels sprout, corn cream stew (soup), teriyaki, curry, octopus, takoyaki, kimchi, squid ink and wasabi.
8) RAMUNE WITHOUT THE MARBLE ISN'T RAMUNE
Apparently Ramune is only Ramune if it comes in that uniquely shaped bottle (called a codd-neck bottle) with the marble in it.
9) YOU CAN MAKE RAMUNE AT HOME
*watch vid for instructions*
10) RAMUNE USED TO BE THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS SOFT DRINK
Kids wanted the marble, and were willing to break the glass bottle to get it. Nowadays bottles are unbreakable and kiddy-proof so are no longer dangerous.

Guangzhou (simplified Chinese: 广州; traditional Chinese: 廣州; Cantonese pronunciation: [kʷɔ̌ːŋ.tsɐ̂u̯] or [kʷɔ̌ːŋ.tsɐ́u̯] ( listen); Mandarin pronunciation: [kwàŋ.ʈʂóu] ( listen)), traditionally romanised as Canton, is the capital and most populous city of the province of Guangdong in southern China. Located on the Pearl River about 120 km (75 mi) north-northwest of Hong Kong and 145 km (90 mi) north of Macau, Guangzhou was a major terminus of the maritime Silk Road and continues to serve as a major port and transportation hub.
Guangzhou is currently, the third most-populous city in mainland China, behind Beijing and Shanghai; holds sub-provincial administrative status; and is one of China's five National Central Cities. In 2015 the city's administrative area was estimated to have a population of 13,501,100 and forms part of one of the most populous metropolitan agglomerations on Earth. Some estimates place the population of the built-up area of the Pearl River Delta Mega City as high as 44 million without the Hong Kong SAR and 54 million including it. Guangzhou is identified as a Beta+ Global city. In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing number of foreign residents and illegal immigrants from the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, as well as from Africa. This has led to it being dubbed the "Capital of the Third World". The migrant population from other provinces of China in Guangzhou was 40 percent of the city's total population in 2008. Most of them are rural migrants, and they speak only Mandarin.
Guangzhou was long the only Chinese port permitted for most foreign traders. The city proper fell to the British and was opened by the First Opium War. It lost trade to other ports such as Hong Kong and Shanghai, but continued to serve as a major entrepôt. In modern commerce, Guangzhou is best known for its annual Canton Fair, the oldest and largest trade fair in China. For the three consecutive years 2013–2015, Forbes ranked Guangzhou as the best commercial city on the Chinese mainland.
Let's take a proper look at Guangzhou, one of the four 1st tier cities in China...
