ちょっと厄介な「Literally」の用法
=================================
皆さんは“Literally”という英語をご存知でしょうか?本来の意味は「文字通り」になるんですが、実はネイティブの日常会話ではそのような使われ方はあまりせず、真逆とも言える使われ方をしています。今日のコラムでは、本来の意味としての使い方と一般的な使い方についてご紹介いたします。
--------------------------------------------------
1) Literally
→「文字通りに」
--------------------------------------------------
LiterallyはFiguratively(比喩的に)の対義語で「文字通り」を意味する副詞です。言葉の表現を文字通りそのままの意味で解釈をすることを表します。例えば「It's a pain in the neck」は「〜が面倒だ」を意味する比喩的な表現ですが、文字通りの意味(Literal meaning)で解釈すると「首が痛い」となります。
<例文>
I didn't mean it literally.
(文字通りの意味で言ったわけではありません。)
He took what I said literally.
(彼は私が言ったことを文字通りに解釈しました。)
He stabbed him in the back? You mean literally or figuratively?
(彼が自分の背中を刺した?本当に刺したの?それとも裏切ったって言いたいの?)
--------------------------------------------------
2) Literally
→「マジで・本当に」
--------------------------------------------------
日常会話では、どちらかというと上記のような使い方ではなく、物事をちょっと大げさに言ったり、自分の気持ちや感情を強調する役割として使われています。例えば宝クジで1等を当てた友達が「My heart literally stopped for a second」と言った場合、実際に心臓が1秒止まったと言っているのではなく「マジで驚いた」を意味します。
✔ReallyやSeriouslyと同じ意味合いを持つ。
✔基本的に日常会話で使われるインフォーマルな表現なので、英文を書く時や正式なスピーチなどでの使用は避けましょう。
<例文>
I literally almost died from laughing too hard. That comedian was hilarious!
(マジで笑いすぎて死ぬかと思った。あのコメディアン超面白かったよ。)
I was literally freaking out when the cockroach started flying.
(ゴキブリが飛びはじめた時はマジでパニクった。)
He literally has no friends. He just stays at home and plays games all day.
(彼は本当に友達がいないの。一日中家でゲームをしているんだよね。)

新加坡阻斷措施 - 第九天
SIINGAPORE CIRCUIT BREAKER DAY #9
去年搬家時,我特別在新家挪出間房間給老公做他的辦公房間。
男人是一家之主。
在家裡,以風水為男主人鞏固他在職場上的權威、賺錢能力和在家的地位,對我而言是非常重要的。我看風水時,也曾經為一些男客人這樣做過。
以前我們和他父母一起住時,他只能用餐桌辦公。
他是一個喜歡安靜的人。
晚上在客廳辦公,電視的聲音、小狗的吠聲、姪兒姪女的哭鬧或玩鬧聲,常常讓他心情欠佳,工作效率不好。
於是去年三月的某一天,我斷然地告訴他:「我們在月底搬!」
他很驚訝,問我為什麼那麼突然。
直覺。是時候走出去了。
我不走回頭路,說搬就真的在四月時搬,連我家翁家婆都嚇到。
選家、看風水、買傢俱、搬家,全在四個星期內搞定。
人嘛,做決定就做決定,沒什麼好婆媽的。
和看風水批八字一樣,要快、狠、準。
家翁家婆的家並沒有規劃的很好。現在因為疫情要在家辦公,如果還住在那兒,八個人+一條愛吠的狗,如何一起生活也是個大問題。
看回一年前的決定,我自己也佩服我當時的果斷。
他搬到新家後,很明顯比以前開心。
他說因為我開心,他也開心。我因為看到他開心,我也開心。😄
現在在家工作,他每天早上沖涼後,就會鑽進他的書房。幾個小時後才會看到他。
我看得出他有屬於自己的工作間,他很愜意。他從小到大,在家從來沒有自己一個做事的地方。
昨天有位師姐說,我做Youtube影片很快,很認真。
其中一個原因是我家沒什麼消閒區,沒有電視機,也沒有沙發,省錢又省位。
我們都不看電視,所以我在客廳工作,空間寬闊,師父佈的風水也增加了我的效率和靈感充沛。
人,太多娛樂選擇,難免會分心。
我很清楚我要什麼,所以其他有的沒的,我都可以不要,好早日達到目標。
老公能夠在書房,做他的工作與視訊。我也能夠在我的書桌辦公、線上為客人批八字、看風水等。大家都不會打擾到彼此,開心地工作,開心地生活。
家和萬事興,和氣才能生財。
住了一年,我收入增加了三倍,目前也沒有因為疫情而下降。
上星期,有位客人叫我不要老是挖苦我的老公,雖然很可愛。
我笑著告訴老公:「你看,我在臉書把你的形象塑造的多好,讓我的女客人都替你不值啊!」
我在他的書房內外,做了好一些風水上的調整,是他不知道的。我沒告訴他。
好的居家風水,本來就該不露痕跡,讓進來的人感覺到很舒服,流連忘返,不知道為何卻又享受滋潤著自己身心的磁場。
我們本來就不常吵架,搬來這裡後,更少吵架。
有飛在半空中的蟑螂時,他負責喊,我負責抓。
有壁虎溜來溜去時,我負責喊,他負責抓。
我們真的是絕配啊~
_____________________________
When we moved house last year, I specially allocated a room to be the husband’s work room.
A man is the head of the household.
To me, it is very crucial to use Feng Shui to strengthen the man’s authority at work, money-making abilities and his status at home. During my Feng Shui audits, I have done the same for some of my male clients.
We used to stay with his parents and at that time, he could only use the dining table to do work.
He is a man who likes quietness.
When he worked at home in the night, the noises from the TV, the incessantly barking poodle, the cries from his niece and nephew or their playing would often leave him in a bad mood and lower his productivity.
Hence in March last year, I made up my mind and flatly told him, “We will move out at end of the month.”
He was caught by surprise and asked why my sudden decision.
Instinct. It was time to walk out.
I do not leave a way back once I make a decision.
When I said I would move in April, I kept to my words, giving my in-laws a shock as well.
Choosing the house, getting Shifu to audit the Feng Shui, buying furniture, moving house, these were all done in a matter of four weeks.
To me, when a decision needs to be made, it has to be made swiftly. There’s no need to be wishy washy.
Just like doing Feng Shui audits and analysing Bazi, I must be fast, firm and accurate.
My in-laws’ home was not very well-planned. If we are still staying there, given the current work-from-home situation due to Covid-19, it would be a real headache to accommodate eight persons and one barking dog.
Honestly speaking, looking back at my decision one year ago, I am also impressed by my own decisiveness at that time.
The husband is obviously much happier after our house move.
He says he is happy because I am happy. Well, I am happy because he is happy. 😄
Now that we work from home, every morning after his bath, he would hole up in his home office room for a few hours before I would see him.
I can tell that he is very pleased and satisfied at having his own work space. During his childhood, he had never have a space that he could work at.
Yesterday, a Dharma sister told me that I was very quick and serious in producing my Youtube videos
One of the reasons is that my home doesn’t really have any recreational area. We have no TV or sofa, since we don’t watch TV. That saves us money and space.
I work in my living room which is spacious and the Feng Shui set-up done by my Shifu increases my productivity and boost my inspiration.
When humans have many entertainment choices, we are bound to get distracted.
I am very clear on what I want. I can do without all other unnecessary things so as to reach my goals faster and earlier.
Now the husband can do his work and video calls in his home office. I can do my own work and online Bazi/Feng Shui consultations at my own desk. We do not disturb each other, as we work and live happily in harmony.
A harmonious family breeds prosperity.
After living here for one year, my income has increased three folds and currently, there is no plunge due to the epidemic.
Last week, a client told me not to poke fun at my husband although it was cute.
I laughingly told the husband, “See, I have created such a great image of you on my Facebook that even my female client feels bad for you!”
I did several Feng Shui adjustments to his work room, both inside and outside. He was not aware of them. I did not tell him about it.
Good home Feng Shui should not be easily detectable to the untrained eye. Once people step inside the home, they will feel cosy and linger longer without knowing why, yet enjoying the energies that nourishes their bodies and minds.
We do not fight often and upon moving here, we quarrel even less.
If there is a cockroach flying in the air, he will be in charge of screaming while I am in charge of catching the pest.
If there is a lizard taking a stroll in our home, I take over the screaming while he takes charge of catching it.
I say we really do make a perfect match for each other, right? Right.
