英語でエッセイpart 2
前回同様、以前私が書いた英語でのエッセイを載せたいと思います。
かわいい！かっこいい！英語の褒め方
の記事に書いたことを英語圏の向けに書いた文です。
英語の練習で書いたものですので、英語に堪能な方はご指導をよろしくお願いします。
●"Hot" and "Cute"
While you are walking with your friends, what would you say when you see
a very attractive person?
Oh man, She is hot! or He is hot!
This can be one of the choice you would think. Am I right?
So, "hot" seems to have very positive meaning in English sporken countries.
However, I am not that happy to be called hot. I rather want to be called cool, or a handsome(kakko ii).
To make matters worse, sometime people address me as cute!
I don't want to be cute to girls, I want to be cool to them!!!
Do you know what this means??
It means people who speak English are seeing people different way of me
(Japanese).
This is very interesting.
We want girls to be cute rather than hot. Being in Japan, You are cute(kawaii) is the best way to compliment girls.
To men, kakkoii=cool is the best.
Therefore, the first time I was said "You are cute", I felt like, "Oh no, do I look like a girl? I am not!!The girl must be looking
down on me. Holly crap"...
But I figured that was wrong idea!!! yay
As a result, there is something you have to know.
●if you are male・・・use Kawaii=cute to a Japanese girl.
●if you are female・・・Never say Kawaii=cute to a Japanese man, instead use kakkoii=cool.
There is one more problem we have to solve. "hot"
As I said, I am not that happy to be called hot.
But to be honest, I actually never be called "hot".
I am making this is not my fault, but nationality problem; the fact I am
Japanese.
I DO NOT think I have any possibiities to be hot just because it's not possible.
I know what is like to be a hot guy, I've seen a lot of hot guy at U.S,
but no one in Japan.
One of the reasons that I cannot find a hot guy at here in Japan is they
don't try to be hot.
They try to be something else, ,, like cool, handsome.
Like this, we value on different aspects sometime.
I often describe a very hot girl as too sexy. They are very beautiful, attractive,,, but they are too sexy to be my girl friend.
Would you agree with me???

英語でエッセイ
以前、英単語ＧＵＹのところでも書いたことを英語でも書いてみました。
このブログを始める前に書いた文ですが、今後も英語を忘れないためにも英語でエッセイも書いていきたいと思います。
● "Guys"
It took me for more than 3 months to be able to use this
word"GUYS"without hesitating.
"What did you guys do yesterday?" What are you guys up to?" These phrases are often overheard in English sporken countries.
Of course it means, the speaker is talking to more than two people at the
same time.
However, for me, I get very nervous everytime I use this word"GUYS".
You might be wonder what on earth the matter with "guys"
Let me explain...
For Japanese( maybe only me?) we have a certain nuance when we use Guy in our canvasation.
For those who know a ittle bit about Japan, you know that we bollow a lot
of Englsih in our life, right?
Guy is one of them.
[Nice Guy] this phrase is becoming all most like an Japanese.
However, we use this term in little bit different way from English meaning.
When we use guy instead of using Japanese "otoko"( meaning guy
in Japanese), we imply some special meaning.
Guys sounds like very ,,,what to say,,,,a prig person, a cool person, a dreamy person. something like that.. well it's hard to explain in Englsih.
Anyway, it just doesn't fit to put guys in those kind of sentence.
Every time I say guys, i need time to be ready so that I would not be embarrassed
what I just said.
I know no one would feel strange, but I feel strange to use this word.
Ask your Japanese friends about this.
I am sure if they have Japanese culrueal backgraund, they would understand
my feeling...
