Simon Fowler: So what do you think you will have to eat?

Eduardo Gonzales: I know you said the barbecue is good and it does look fantastic, but I see they also have curry here.

Simon Fowler: Yes, they do. It’s really good. You see there are 12 different kinds. The one at the bottom is very mild and as they go up, they get more and more spicy. The one at the top - well, phew! It’s really tasty, but a little too hot for me. There’s a lot of garlic in it, so if you choose that, you need to be brave. And you may not be popular on the plane home tomorrow (laughs).

Eduardo Gonzales: (Laughs) I do like a strong curry though. What I do is I order a dish of yogurt to go with it. It’s nice and thick and cool so if I feel it’s too spicy, I can eat some or add it to my curry to cool it down.

Simon Fowler: That’s a really good idea. I might try that in future.

Eduardo Gonzales: I also like the sound of the cheeseburger, but at the same time, I could have a good cheeseburger in a lot of places.

Simon Fowler: Oh, it’s really special here though. They bake the burgers for a little which makes them taste really good, and then they fry them quickly in olive oil. There are a lot of restaurants where they just put it in the microwave and it tastes terrible.

Eduardo Gonzales: The only thing I used a microwave for is heating up my coffee when I have left it too long. I don’t think you should ever use one for food.

Simon Fowler: Well, here comes the waitress, so it’s decision time.

English Conversation/Dialogue

Eating Out

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の北海道の天気はずっと雨でした。
気温は14℃です。

今日も慣用句シリーズを話そうと思います。
個人的には結構気に入ってます。

日本語には、体の部位を使った表現がたくさんありますね。
今日は腕うで、の慣用句を話します。
腕は人の技術、スキルを表現することが多いので、そういった意味の慣用句が多いです。

①腕が鳴る (うでがなる)
技能(スキル)や力を発揮したくて、じっとしていられないことを言います。ウズウズしている感じですね。
例えば、
ー明日はピアノの発表だけど、今から腕が鳴る
ーラテを作れるなんて、腕が鳴る
とか使いますね。

② 腕を振るう(うでをふるう)
自分の腕前・技能を人に見せる。披露する時に使います。
例えば、
ー得意料理に腕を振るう
ーバーベキューの仕込みに腕を振るう
とか使います。
　他のことにも使えますが、私のイメージでは、料理に使うことが多いと思います。

③ 腕を磨く(うでをみがく)
技能(スキル)が上手になるように訓練、練習する時に使います。
ー彼は地道に腕を磨いてきた。だから今はトッププレイヤーになった。
ー3年前に海外へ行き、バレエの腕を磨いてきた。
などと使います。


はい、ということで、今日は腕を使った慣用句3つ、紹介しました。日常会話で使う、というよりも、本やニュース、Webサイトの記事などで見ることが多いかもしれません。

たくさんあるのでおもしろいですね！
今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
