こんにちは、前回に引き続き One minute phrase シリーズです🤙🏻
第2弾は"Give me a break"🤔
1分で習得！今日からさっそく使っちゃいましょう🕺🏻
Give me a break
Example
(John and Mary made a plan to go to Hawaii for five days. )
(John's phone is ringing)
John:Hello?
Mary: Hey its me. John.. I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid I can't go to Hawaii.
John: What!? Why do you always cancel the plan at the last minute!?
(どうして君はいつも直前でキャンセルするんだ）
Mary: I know but my team is now on a big project and it seems impossible to be finished by the day.
John: Oh come on! Give me a break. I have already reserved everything for the trip. I need to cancel all of it.....
Summary
Give me a breakはここでは
日本語で「勘弁してよ～！」「いい加減にして」に相当する表現💡
実は「大目にみてあげて」という意味でも使えちゃいます✏️
Today is the first time for him to work here, please give him a break.
（彼ここで働くの今日が初めてなの、大目に見てあげてよ）
それでは、今日はここまで😆
次回をお楽しみに！
