=================================
「Thank you」と言われたら?
=================================
今回は「Thank you」に対する返答の仕方とそれぞれのニュアンスの違いについて触れてみたいと思います。ネイティブがどのように返答するか、以前の動画レッスンに協力してくれたアメリカ人10人に実際に「Thank you」と言ってみました。
--------------------------------------------------
1) You are welcome
→「どういたしまして」
--------------------------------------------------
「You are welcome」はフォーマルな場やインフォーマルな場、面識のある人や面識のない人など、基本的にどんな状況でも使える最も無難な返答の仕方です。どちらかと言うと、多少丁寧な響きがありますが、友達や同僚に対しても使っても違和感はありません。とっさにどう返答していいか迷った場合は「You're welcome」と言えば問題ありません。
✔日常会話では「You are welcome」より「You're welcome」と言った方が自然。
✔他にも「You're most welcome」や「You're very welcome」と言うこともでき、ともにより丁寧な響きがある。
--------------------------------------------------
2) (It's) My pleasure
→「お役に立てて嬉しいです」
--------------------------------------------------
何かしら相手の役に立つことが出来て「(自分が)嬉しい」気持ちを示したい場合はこの表現を使いましょう。ホテルのスタッフやお洒落なレストランの店員がお客に対して使うことが多く、とても上品で丁寧な響きがあります。友達に対して使うのはちょっと堅苦しい感じがあります。
✔「My pleasure」は「It's my pleasure」の略。日常会話では両方使われ特に違いはない。
✔より丁寧に言いたいなら「You're welcome. (It's) My pleasure」のセットで。
--------------------------------------------------
3) No problem
→「大したことないよ」
--------------------------------------------------
自分が相手のため行った親切な行為が「大したことない」と言いたい場合に用いられ、友達や同僚など仲の良い間柄でよく使われる表現です。面識がない人に対して使っても問題ありません。例えば、他人のためにドアを押さえてあげ、その他人が「Thank you」と言ったら「No problem」と返すのはとてもナチュラルです。カジュアルでありながら丁寧な感じもあり日常会話ではよく耳にする表現です。
✔「No worries(気にしないで)」もよく使われ、ニュアンスと使い方は同じ。
--------------------------------------------------
4) Anytime
→「いつでも」
--------------------------------------------------
“Anytime”の一言には「またいつでも協力しますよ・助けてあげますよ」という意味合いが込められています。基本的には親しい間柄で使われるカジュアルで丁寧な返答です。例えば、アメリカ人の友達の日本語の文章を手直ししてあげ、その友達が「Thanks for checking my Japanese.(日本語を手直ししてくれてありがとう)」と言った際、「Anytime」と返すことで「またいつでも協力してあげるから声をかけてね」といった想いが相手に伝わります。一方で、今後会う予定のない人(他人)に対して「anytime」と言うのは、ちょっと違和感があります。
--------------------------------------------------
5) Sure
→「もちろん」
--------------------------------------------------
「Sure, you're welcome」や「Sure, no problem」、「Sure, anytime」のように、本来“Sure”は上記で紹介した表現と組み合わせて使うのですが、カジュアルな感じで言う場合は、“Sure”の後に続くフレーズを省いて「Sure」の一言だけでも問題ありません。
✔「Sure thing」と言う人もいますが、意味合いは“Sure”と同じで“thing”には特に深い意味はありません。
--------------------------------------------------
6) You bet
→「もちろん」
--------------------------------------------------
“Bet”は「お金を賭ける」を意味し、この一言だけで「私があなたの役に立てて、嬉しく思っていることにお金を賭けてもいい」という意味合いまでも含まれており、とてもアメリカ人っぽい返答の仕方になります。(笑)「Of course」と意味は同じですが、より口語的な言い方で、基本的には知り合いに対して使う返答の仕方です。
✔地域によっては「You betcha」と言う人もいる。
--------------------------------------------------
7) Thank you
→「こちらこそありがとう」
--------------------------------------------------
お礼を言う相手に「いえいえ、お礼を言うのは私ですよ」と逆に相手に感謝の気持ちを伝えたい時ってありますよね?そんな時に使える便利でシンプルな返答が「Thank you」で、日本語の「こちらこそありがとうございます」に相当する表現になります。ここでのポイントは「Thank you」の“you”の部分をちょっと強調して言うことです(Thank you⤴︎)。
✔より丁寧に言いたいなら「I should be the one thanking you.」または「I'm the one who should be thanking you.」
✔「こちらこそ〜をしてくれてありがとう」と具体的なことについてお礼を返す場合は「Thanks for _____ ing」の形式にする。
<例文>
〜会話例1〜
A: Thanks for coming tonight.
(今夜は来てくれてありがとう)
B: Thanks for having us.
(こちらこそ、私たちを招待してくれてありがとう)
〜会話例2〜
A: Thanks for cooking dinner tonight.
(今夜は食事を作ってくれてありがとう)
B: Thanks for helping me prepare.
(こちらこそ、食事の準備をしてくれてありがとう)
--------------------------------------------------
8) Don't mention it
→「いえ、とんでもないです」
--------------------------------------------------
直訳は「お礼なんていいよ」になり、謙虚な態度を示す状況で使われることが多いです。但し、この表現は個人的にはあまり使わず、私の周りにいる人たちもあまり口にしていないような気がします。もしかしたら地域や年齢によるかもしれませんが、決して古い言い方ではないと思います。もしどうしてもこの表現が気になるようでしたら、周りのネイティブの方にも聞いてみてください・・・。
✔他にも「Think nothing of it.(とんでもないです)」という表現もありますが、これも個人的にはほとんど口にしません・・・。

thanks for having us for dinner 在 A Happy Mum Facebook 的最佳解答
On the last day of my confinement, I was feeling a little melancholic. While I was looking forward to 'breaking out of jail' and enjoying a hot bath every day, I was also thinking of how I would need to cook my own meals soon. After all, I had settled my meals for the past 28 days with thanks to Tian Wei Signature and although I knew sooner or later I had to step back into the kitchen, I wasn't very keen on the idea.
Yup, cooking has never been my forte and it's not something I look forward to. I do it purely for the sake of letting my kids be able to eat home cooked, healthy food. Considering that I was still in my postpartum recovery period, I was not knowledgeable about what ingredients would benefit me, help to nourish my body or speed up the recovery process.
At that time, the baby just turned a month old and I was struggling with pumping every 2-3 hours as he was not able to latch properly. I must say that was a hassle which drained my energy and made me exhausted, along with making me worry constantly if I was producing enough milk for him. Did I mention I still had three older kids and a house to look after and I was solo parenting on most days?
So, you can imagine how relieved I was to find out about Relactosg, a first-of-its-kind catering service in Singapore which provides breastfeeding mums with healthy food packed with lactation-boosting ingredients to support them in their motherhood journey. I took up a 21-day lunch package with them which allowed me to feel less stressful in the morning as my lunch would be delivered right to my doorstep, enabling me to focus on looking after the baby in the morning. Even though I still had to prepare simple lunch for the kids and subsequently dinner for all of us, having my own lunch settled for a few weeks in a row took a load off my shoulders. Let me share with you more about how the experience was and answer some of the queries you might have.

If I knew that there was such a thing called confinement food catering when I first gave birth in 2009, I would definitely have taken it up. However, that was a time when we were living in Sweden and with the culture being so vastly different over there, confinement was an unfamiliar concept. From what I saw, many mums were out and about with their newborns shortly after giving birth, which explains why I am also an active mum who doesn't like to stay indoor much.
In spite of that, I do believe that it is very important for us to control our diet and eat well during this period. Even though my first confinement was done overseas in the midst of winter, as much as I could, I stayed off snacks and cold stuff, ate nutritious food and maintained a healthy diet. I honestly feel that eating the right food would help to accelerate my postpartum recovery process and give me the strength I needed to care for the baby, which was important since I was usually on my own.
While I never had a confinement lady before -- it's the same as why we don't have a helper, I just prefer to do it on my own instead of asking others to look after my kids - I did have my mother-in-law come over to cook for me during my past confinements. This was something I deeply appreciated yet I also felt bad for making her go through the hassle. For instance, when we were in Sweden, she had to hunt high and low for the food ingredients, like red dates, old ginger and pig's liver, which were rare and hard to find in most cases, and with the need to cook every day, things could get tiring for her.
Now that years have passed and age has caught up, I surprised our friends and family members by boldly having a fourth baby. Yup, and so the cycle begins all over again. Given that I am older and more experienced now, I decided I didn't want to trouble anyone - well, except for the hubby - to help for my confinement but instead settle everything on my own.
Thanks to Tian Wei Signature, all my meals were settled for the entire month which allowed me to focus on resting and caring for the baby, woohoo! This was so important for me as he was born prematurely and I wanted to make sure he was doing well and properly looked after. Having confinement meals delivered to my doorstep was a feeling that I loved, because it meant I didn't have to depend on others to cook for me yet I also did not have to slog in the kitchen at a time when I was supposed to be recuperating. I tried out their most extensive package, which is the 28-Day Double, including both Lunch and Dinner, and it was something that I truly enjoyed and looked forward to each day.
In this post, I'll share with you more on why I totally think that confinement food catering is a lifesaver, at least for me, and will showcase more of the dishes I've tried and which I loved best. I also have a giveaway ongoing on my IG so hop over if you wish to try out these yummy confinement meals too.

We Singaporeans literally do not get tired of having curry chicken. We love love love curry chicken! We have curry chicken at parties. We have curry chicken for lunch and dinner. Our version of curry chicken is slightly different from the usual Malay or Indian curry. You gotta try it to understand what I’m talking about.
See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.
We would like to give special thanks to Greenpan for letting us try out their high quality non-stick Dutch Oven Pot in the video.
