英語/日本語でいうと?英会話コミュのこんな時 No.4 天気編

近所のおばさんと街で偶然会いました。あまり親しくないけれど、世間話をしなくては。あまり親しくない人と話す時には、天気話しが役に立ちます。

最近寒いですね。明日はもっと寒いらしいですよ。風邪などひかないように。じゃまた。

さて英語でなんというでしょう。

It`s interesting that weather is the universal topic for people who do not know what to talk about! It`s one of the most useful topics in any language!

Hi Hina san!

Thank you for your comment! Your sentences are very useful, but I would like to make a high level suggestion.

'lately' feels slightly past tense, and is good with '...been...' so I feel that your tense is not comfortable.

For example:
It's been getting colder lately. (This is very comfortable for me, because '..it's..' means '..it has..')
It's getting colder these days. (This is also very comfortable, but now '..it's..' means '..it is..')

There is a big difference in native English between '...it has..' and '...it is...'

Keiko, you have also made some very useful expressions that are almost perfect for spoken English, but there are several mistakes!

* It's getting chilly THESE days... (not 'those')
* You should leave a space before 'and'.
* You should not begin a sentence with 'so'. The first point is that you have no capital 'S', but the second point is that if you use 'so' you should not stop the sentence before. You should write '...colder tomorrow, so...' ('so' is a word that joins two sentences together.)
* ...before... (you forgot the 'e')
* Take care, have... (you do not need a capital 'H')
* ...lovely... (you forgot the 'e')

Awesome work guys! Well done!

English Boy.
