自分の考えや見解を述べる時にネイティブがよく使う前置きフレーズ
=================================
会話をする中で「私にしてみれば〇〇です」や「私に言わせれば〇〇です」と自分自身の考えや見解を述べる時、ネイティブがよく使う前置き表現をご紹介します。
--------------------------------------------------
In my eyes
→ 「私にしてみれば / 私としては / 私からすると」
--------------------------------------------------
ネイティブが自分の見解や感情を述べる時「In my eyes」と言ってから本題を切り出すことがよくあります。これは日本語の「私にしてみれば」や「私からすると」に相当する表現です。ここででは Eyes を Opinion の比喩表現として使っており、全く同じ意味の表現である「In my opinion」をより口語的にした言い回しとして「In my eyes」が使われる傾向があります。また「In his eyes(彼にしてみれば)」や「In her eyes(彼女としては)」のように my の部分を his や her に置き換えて表現することもできます。
<例文>
In my eyes, I have the cutest cat.
(私からすると、うちの猫が一番可愛いです。)
In his eyes, he did nothing wrong.
(彼自身は何も間違った事をしていないと思っています。)
In her eyes, Peter is the most qualified candidate for the job.
(彼女の見解としては、その仕事に最も適任の候補者はピーターさんです。)
〜会話例〜
A: Who do you think is the best Japanese baseball player of all time?
(史上最高の日本人野球選手は誰だと思いますか?)
B: I know Ichiro is a great player but in my eyes, Hideo Nomo is the best.
(イチロー選手が素晴らしいことは分かっていますが、私としては野茂英雄選手が最高の選手です。)

「To me」と「For me」の違い
=================================
これまで英語を話す際に「To me」と「For me」のどちらで表現したらいいのか迷った経験はありませんか?両フレーズとも日本語に直訳すると「私にとって」を意味しますが、両者間には微妙なニュアンスの違いがあり、どちらを使うかによって相手の解釈の仕方も違ってきます。
--------------------------------------------------
「To me」は一般的な観点や立場による「私にとって」
--------------------------------------------------
一般的な見解による「私にとって」を表す場合に用いられるのが“to me”です。例えば「English is important to me.」と言うと、日常生活や仕事、または単なる趣味においても、英語は自分の中で大切だと感じていることを表すことになります。
--------------------------------------------------
「For me」は目的や目標を遂行するための「私にとって」
--------------------------------------------------
目的や目標を成し遂げるための「私にとって」を表すのが“for me”です。上記の例文「English is important to me.」を「English is important for me.」と言うと、仕事で昇進をするため、ビジネスを海外発展させるため、恋人とコミュニケーションをとるためなど、何かしらの明確な目的があり、それを達成するために英語が自分には大事であることを表すことになります。なので“for me”を使う場合は、「English is important for me because I want to expand my business overseas.(海外でビジネスを発展させたいので、自分にとって英語は大事です」のように、なぜ英語が大事なのか理由も伝える必要があります。
✔for meは「自分が得をする」という意味合いも込められる。
<例文>
〜比較例1〜
Eating healthy is important to me.
(私にとって健康的な食生活を取ることは大事である。)
※健康的な食事を取ることは日常生活において大事。
I'm a professional athlete. Eating healthy is important for me to perform at the highest level.
(私はプロのスポーツ選手です。自分の能力を最大限に生かすに、健康的な食生活を取ることが大事です。)
※最高のパフォーマンスを達成するために、健康的な食生活を取ることが大事。
〜比較例2〜
Family is important to me.
(私にとって家族は大事です。)
※家族は自分の人生において大事な存在と考えている。
Family is important for me.
(私にとって家族の存在は大切です。)
※家族の存在によって何らかの恩恵を受けているので大事と考えている。使い方には注意。
--------------------------------------------------
自分の意見を述べる場合の「私にとって」を表現するなら「to me」
--------------------------------------------------
to meは自分の意見や考えを伝える時に、I thinkやin my opinionと同じ意味合いとして使われる口語的な表現でもあります。例えば「私からすると、日本語より英語の方が難しいです。」と言う場合は「To me, English is harder than Japanese.」となります。この場合、“for me”を使っても意味は同じで問題ありません。しかし、for me”を使うのが不適切な状況もあるので注意が必要です。例えば「私にとって、彼の行動は大人気ない。」は「To me, he is acting childish.」と表現できますが、「For me, he is acting childish.」と表現するのは不自然です。ちょっと分かりづらいかもしれませんが、混乱を招かないよう、自分の意見を述べるニュアンスの「私にとって」を表現する場合はto meを使うのが無難でしょう。
✔意見を述べる意味合いでのto meは、文章の頭で用いられることが多い。
<例文>
To me, Ichiro is the best Japanese baseball player.
(私にとってはイチロー選手が最も優秀な日本人の野球選手です。)
To me, Japanese curry is better than Indian curry.
(私としては、インドのカレーより日本のカレーの方が美味しいと思います。)
To me, he seems like a nice guy.
(私にとって、彼は感じのいい人です。)

Michael Jordan:
‘When Kobe Bryant Died, a Piece of Me Died.’
當Kobe走了,部份的我也死了。。。😭
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SEiGEbxv5M
>>>Jordan's complete speech (Jordan感言全文)
"I would say good morning, but it's afternoon. I'm grateful to Vanessa and the Bryant family for the opportunity to speak today.
"I'm grateful to be here to honor Gigi and celebrate the gifts that Kobe gave us all – what he accomplished as a basketball player, as a businessman, and a storyteller and as a father. In the game of basketball, in life, as a parent – Kobe left nothing in the tank. He left it all on the floor.
"Maybe it surprised people that Kobe and I were very close friends. But we were very close friends. Kobe was my dear friend. He was like a little brother. Everyone always wanted to talk about the comparisons between he and I. I just wanted to talk about Kobe.
.
"You know all of us have brothers and sisters, little brothers, little sisters, who for whatever reason always tend to get in your stuff, your closet, your shoes, everything. It was a nuisance – if I can say that word – but that nuisance turned into love over a period of time. Just because the admiration that they have for you as big brothers or big sisters, the questions in wanting to know every little detail about life that they were about to embark on.
"He used to call me, text me, 11:30, 2:30, 3 o'clock in the morning, talking about post-up moves, footwork, and sometimes, the triangle. At first, it was an aggravation. But then it turned into a certain passion. This kid had passion like you would never know. It's an amazing thing about passion. If you love something, if you have a strong passion for something, you would go to the extreme to try to understand or try to get it. Either ice cream, Cokes, hamburgers, whatever you have a love for. If you have to walk, you would go get it. If you have to beg someone, you would go get it.
"What Kobe Bryant was to me was the inspiration that someone truly cared about the way either I played the game or the way that he wanted to play the game. He wanted to be the best basketball player that he could be. And as I got to know him, I wanted to be the best big brother that I could be.
.
"To do that, you have to put up with the aggravation, the late-night calls, or the dumb questions. I took great pride as I got to know Kobe Bryant that he was just trying to be a better person – a better basketball player. We talked about business, we talked about family, we talked about everything. And he was just trying to be a better person.
"Now, he's got me and I'll have to look at another crying meme for the next ... (Lengthy laughter and applause.)
"I told my wife I wasn't gonna do this cause I didn't want to see that for the next three or four years. That is what Kobe Bryant does to me. I'm pretty sure Vanessa and his friends all can say the same thing – he knows how to get to you in a way that affects you personally, even though he's being a pain in the ass. But you have a sense of love for him and the way that he can bring out the best in you. And he did that for me.
.
"I remember maybe a couple months ago he sends me a text and he said, 'I'm trying to teach my daughter some moves. And I don't know what I was thinking or what I was working on, but what were you thinking about when you were growing up trying to work on your moves?' I said 'What age?' He says '12'. I said '12, I was trying to play baseball.' He sends me a text back saying 'Laughing my ass off.' And this is at 2 o'clock in the morning.
"But the thing about him was we could talk about anything that related to basketball but we could talk about anything that related to life. And we, as we grew up in life, rarely have friends that we can have conversations like that. Well, it's even rarer when you can grow up against adversaries and have conversations like that.
.
"I went and saw Phil Jackson in 1999, maybe 2000, I don't know, when Phil was here in L.A. And I walk in and Kobe's sitting there.
"And the first thing, Kobe said, 'Did you bring your shoes?'
" 'No, I wasn't thinking about playing.'
"But his attitude to compete and play against someone he felt like he could enhance and improve his game, that's what I loved about the kid. I absolutely loved the kid. No matter where he saw me, it was a challenge. And I admired him because his passion, you rarely see someone who is looking and trying to improve each and every day, not just in sports, but as a parent, as a husband. I am inspired by what he's done, and what he's shared with Vanessa, and what he's shared with his kids.
"I have a daughter who's 30 and I became a grandparent. And I have two twins. I have twins at 6. I can't wait to get home to become a GirlDad and to hug them and to see the love and smiles that they bring to us as parents. He taught me that just by looking at this tonight, looking at how he responded and reacted with the people he actually loved. These are the things that we will continue to learn from Kobe Bryant.
"To Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, Capri, my wife and I will keep you close in our hearts and our prayers. We will always be here for you. Always. I also want to offer our condolences and support to all the families affected by this enormous tragedy.
.
"Kobe gave every last ounce of himself to whatever he was doing, After basketball, he showed a creative side to himself that I didn't think any of us knew he had. In retirement, he seemed so happy. He found new passions. And he continued to give back, as a coach, in his community. More importantly, he was an amazing dad, amazing husband, who dedicated himself to his family and who loved his daughters with all his heart. Kobe never left anything on the court. And I think that's what he would want for us to do.
"No one knows how much time we have. That's why we must live in the moment, we must enjoy the moment, we must reach and see and spend as much time as we can with our families and friends and the people that we absolutely love. To live in the moment means to enjoy each and every one that we come in contact with.
.
"When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died. And as I look in this arena and across the globe, a piece of you died, or else you wouldn't be here. Those are the memories that we have to live with and we learn from.
"I promise you from this day forward, I will live with the memories of knowing that I had a little brother and I tried to help in every way I could.
"Please, rest in peace little brother. "

News broke that Pistons star Allen Iverson has cut off his trademark braids.
Of course, the Internet has since been abuzz with discussion of Iverson's new look.
Shaq went as far as calling it "cute" (an odd choice of words if you ask me).
So why is the media covering this story, showing video clips of Iverson's new look? Why are there some 20 blog posts on the subject, even though it happened just yesterday?
I can't answer all these questions. But I can tell you why I'm writing this particular article.
The Questions that Led to "The Answer"
Growing up in Philadelphia, my favorite sports were hockey, basketball and baseball.
The Sixers were and will always be my favorite team. As I was growing up, guys like Dr. J and Moses Malone were my heroes.
Then came Sir Charles Barkley. I definitely recognized his greatness, but never did I idolize him like Malone and Erving.
Then, those lean years for the Sixers came. If you're a Sixers fan, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Shawn Bradley and Reese Witherspoon were our "stars".
Oh wait, I have Reese confused with someone...
I have to be honest, it was tough to stick with the team through that era.
I stopped watching. Management and owners seemed to care less about putting a winning team on the court and more about the bottom line.
It was a bad period from 1992 to 1996.
I actually stopped caring, and I hate to say it, but a lot of other Philadelphians did too. If you think I'm exaggerating, ponder this fact:
The Sixers couldn't even sell out the Spectrum at the time, nor could they unload season tickets.
Then that fateful day came: the day Allen Iverson was drafted by the 76ers.
He may have not have won an NBA championship for Philly during his tenure here, but he did something no other star or player since Dr. J had done.
He reinvigorated the fan base and recaptured the love for the Sixers. He got the entire city to care again.
By his second year, Iverson had the whole town talking. It soon became popular again proclaim your fandom. Even people from other cities were wearing Iverson jerseys.
Then the celebs starting coming to Sixers games: I remember seeing Will Smith at the game after Thanksgiving Day in 1997, against the Lakers. The place was packed with a sell-out crowd, and you could feel the electricity.
AI had even put a disenchanted fan like me back into the Sixers' fold. He had made basketball in Philly exciting again.
The Questions Came with "The Answer"
Yet somewhere along the line, as the years passed, the love affair between Philly and Allen ended. Like so many other times with countless other players, the fickle fans of Philadelphia chased yet another star out of their city.
The list of such victims is as long as you can imagine.
Eric Lindros, Randall Cunningham, Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, more Phillies than I care to remember...sadly, Iverson became just one more on that list.
But I still thank the man for bringing me back to Sixers basketball.
What made Iverson so special at the time was he was different, from the cornrows to the tattoos to the extra-long shorts. Iverson was always true to himself.
I'm sure the corporate types of the NBA were having nightmares, but the fact of the matter is fans from all over the world embraced Iverson.
I got so tired of hearing statements like "he's a hoodlum" based solely upon his appearance. I'll tell you as a Caucasian that Iverson having cornrows and tattoos didn't make me think he was a thug. I hated that the media thought they could speak for others.
I remember having a Iverson poster up on my wall in 1997, when I was in college. I remember my best friend coming over and, noticing the poster, sarcastically saying:
"What, is Iverson your homeboy?"
"No," I replied, "Iverson is 'The Man'."
I can't imagine the prejudice Iverson faced through his life or because of his color and image. But I know just how stupid and prejudiced some people acted towards me for being a fan of his.
What I respected the most about Iverson was that he was true to himself and was loyal to his family and friends, even when the media was tearing him apart for his loyalty. He was the real deal on and off the court.
Even when Iverson got in trouble with the police here in Philly (some story of him looking for his wife and pulling a gun on someone at a door), I stood by him and never wavered.
I saw the big picture: So many people wanted a piece of him, hangers-on and people thinking they could make a quick buck at his expense. And I hated that the media used his image agaisnt him every time something bad happened in his personal life.
