「Pretty」の様々な用法
=================================
皆さんは「Pretty」と言えば何が頭に思い浮かびますか?おそらく多くの人は「可愛い」が真っ先に思いつくのではないでしょうか?勿論、間違いではありませんが、ネイティブの日常会話ではこの「Pretty」という単語、その他にも色々な状況で使われていますのでご紹介しようと思います。
--------------------------------------------------
1) She is pretty.
→「彼女は可愛いですね」
--------------------------------------------------
整った顔立ちの女性や、可愛いらしい女の子を表す際によく使われる表現です。大人の女性に対して使うこともできますが、幼い可愛らしさの意味合いが含まれることから、どちらかと言えば若い女性(10代〜20代前半)に対してよく使われます。
✔“Beautiful”も同じような意味ですが、“Beautiful”は「綺麗な大人の女性」の意味合いが強く、外見に限らず中身が美しい人や知的美人など、内面からの美しさが滲み出ている人のことを指す。綺麗さで言えば“Pretty”よりも“Beautiful”の方が上。
<例文>
Your daughter is so pretty!
(あなたの娘さんはとても可愛いですね。)
I think she's pretty but she's so stuck up!
(彼女は確かに綺麗やねんけど、めっちゃ生意気やねんな〜。)
That dress looks great on you. You look so pretty!
(そのドレス似合っているね。すごく綺麗っ!)
--------------------------------------------------
2) That's a pretty necklace.
→「素敵なネックレスですね」
--------------------------------------------------
洋服やヘアースタイル、絵画から景色まで、目に入ってくるものが「素敵だね」と褒める場合によく使われるフレーズです。また、響きのいい名前の人に「That's a pretty name.(素敵な名前だね)」と言うように、視覚的要因以外に対しても使うことが出来ます。
✔一般的に女性が使う表現。
<例文>
Your scarf is so pretty! Where did you get it?
(素敵なマフラーだね。どこで買ったの?)
The sunset is so pretty! Let's take a picture.
(綺麗な夕焼けだね。写真撮ろうよ。)
This song is so pretty. Do you know who sings this song?
(ええ曲やな〜。歌ってるのは誰なん?)
--------------------------------------------------
3) It's pretty cold today.
→「今日は結構寒いですね」
--------------------------------------------------
この用法はネイティブの日常会話で最も頻繁に使われます。意味は“Very”とよく似ていますが、“Pretty”は“Very”よりワンランク下と覚えたら分かりやすいかと。例えば、「今日はとても寒いですね」は「It's very cold.」になりますが、「今日は結構寒いですね」は「It's pretty cold.」になります。また、「思っていたより〜だ」というニュアンスも含まれ、「It's pretty cold here.」と言うと「ここは思っていたより寒いね」という驚きの感情を表します。
<例文>
This curry is a little spicy but it's pretty good.
(このカレーちょっと辛いけど、なかなか美味しいね。)
That test was pretty hard. I thought it was going to be easy.
(あのテスト想像以上に難しかったわ〜。もっと簡単やおもてたわ・・・)
San Francisco is pretty far away. It's about a 6 hour drive.
(サンフランシスコは結構遠いよ。車で6時間くらいかかるからね。)
--------------------------------------------------
4) I'm pretty good.
→「元気だよ・まあままだね」
--------------------------------------------------
「How are you?」に対する返事の定番フレーズです。“Pretty good”は捉え方次第で「元気」と「まあまあ」の両方の意味を成します。ポイントは口調にあり、元気よく言えば「調子がいい」になりますが、元気のない声で言うと「まあまあ」になります。また“Pretty good”だと思う対象は、人の調子やコンディションに限らず、様々な状況で使うことが出来ます。
<例文>
It's pretty good. I've had better pizza.
(まあまあだね。もっと美味しいピザを食べたことあるけど。)
It was a pretty good movie. The ending was anticlimactic though.
(あっけない結末やったけど、ま〜ぼちぼちおもろい映画やったで。)
I'm pretty good at basketball. I played 4 years in high school.
(バスケはそこそこ上手だよ。高校の時に4年間やっていたからね。)
--------------------------------------------------
5) I'm pretty much done.
→「大体終わりました」
--------------------------------------------------
“Pretty much”は「大体」「ほとんど」「ほぼ」などを意味し、日常会話では“Almost”の代わりによく使われる口語的な表現です。しかし“Pretty much”は“Almost”より完成や終わりに近いニュアンスがあります。
<例文>
I can pretty much eat anything.
(大体何でも食べれんで。)
That's pretty much it. Does anyone have any questions?
(大体そんなところです。何か質問はありますか?)
I pretty much study English every night.
(ほぼ毎晩、英語の勉強をしています。)

🌻Morgan Stanley Mid-year Investor Outlook: A tricky transition
https://www.morganstanley.com/ideas/midyear-2021-global-markets-outlook
🌻在您投資生涯中, 有沒有一些觀念讓您受用很多?
下面這位投資名人的好觀念影響我很深. 他的意思是, 一般投資人, 只要能説出三個買一家公司的理由, 就很夠了. 這也迫使我, 每次在買股票時, 問自己對這家公司的了解有多少. 也會去衡量公司的優點與缺點在哪裡.
"It is vital (重要的) that you know what you own, that if I asked you on the street why you like a certain stock, you can give me three reasons. If you don't know how they make their money, who their key clients are and what they make if, then I will tell you that you are over your head and should not own individual stocks."
全文在此:
Jim Cramer: In Times Like This, Go for the Easy Money
Look at the stocks you own. Can you tell me why you've got them? If you can't answer the following three questions, then have a look at several I like right now.
We've endured the meme stock craziness, with all of its love for heavily shorted stocks. We have watched the collapse of bitcoin to levels viewed as shocking, even if they are still more than double where they were not that long ago. We've dealt with Fed officials making it clear that they are no longer on the side of the bulls or the bears. They are on the side of job growth, but are wary of inflation. We've seen the end of the rush to get vaccines, which means that millions of people are going to get the new COVID variant, because there is no natural immunity to it. We've watched as the hopes for an infrastructure bill have collapsed. We've endured shortages of everything from chips to plastic to imported goods and labor.
And we're still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yep, we are in one of those halcyon moments, where the masks are off -- even if they shouldn't be -- and Americans are back doing what they do best: consume, spend, go out to eat and then consume and spend some more.
There are times in the stock market where the collective mindset is revealed. This is one of those times: Things are cool, it's not a big moment, there's no real news for a bit, it's the historically strong period and we can reach some conclusions about where we are.
When things are like this, it is important to remember that buyers like to revert to tried-and-true companies that thrive no matter what. These are companies that have an edge and are better at what they do than other companies.
You know that I am a great believer in index funds, that the average person doesn't have the time or the inclination to research individual stocks. It's a difficult barrier. I think you need to make time to read the quarterly report and listen to the conference call, to Google articles and, if possible, get some research about the companies you own. It is vital that you know what you own, that if I asked you on the street why you like a certain stock, you can give me three reasons. If you don't know how they make their money, who their key clients are and what they make if, then I will tell you that you are over your head and should not own individual stocks. I am reminded by this, because, once again, without a mask, I can be recognized and if I am not holding "Nvidia the Second," I can carry on a conversation.
I have had many in the last two weeks and when I have asked this litany of questions, I find myself at a loss as to why almost no one knew what they owned. But they thirsted for individual stocks, because they, like me, think things are better post pandemic. No, that's not a facetious comment. Many, many stocks did better with a stay-at-home economy. A huge number.
So what do I do? I revert to what others do when you are stumped about how to stay in touch with stocks, but want to do less homework. That means buying stocks that are accessible, not stocks like Unity (U) or Snowflake (SNOW) or Twilio (TWLO) or Okta (OKTA) .
I revert to normal businesses people know and I suggest they Google some articles, peruse the conference call, but, above all, like the company's products so you can buy more if it goes down.
Here's some that I have been telling people I like:
First is Ford (F) . I think the Ford lineup is amazing. The electric F-150 series will be incredible. I am eager to get a Maverick for my family, because it is a smaller pickup that will get the job done for the myriad little things I need to do with this farm I bought from that crazy bitcoin foray. I like the competitive edge of the CEO, who says he is going to bury Elon Musk when the Lightning comes out. I even think the Bronco is cool as all get out. Most important, though? I think the chip shortage is ending. My semiconductor friends are telling me the foundries are producing more feature-rich chips and that means Ford can pump out the trucks small business people love and need. Plus, the used car prices at last have plateaued, according to their most important pricing index. Halcyon times.
Second, Costco (COST) : The samples are coming back. Tell me you don't love the samples. You need things in bulk. You want low prices. You want to get all of the things that people don't think of with Costco, like insurance, hearing-aids -- hey, they are a fortune -- jewelry, things around the house. You go and you will buy far more than you first came for. My kind of store.
The kids love this American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) , which we just bought for my charitable trust, which you can follow along by joining the Action Alerts PLUS club. Jay Schottenstein, the CEO, came on "Mad Money" recently and it's clear that his Aerie model has real staying power: 26 consecutive quarters of double digit growth. No flash in the pan, that one. Number one brand in jeans for the 15 to 25 year old group. The best in the mall. How did I know this? I see the credit card bills.
I got up this morning to do my physical therapy. I have been doing it ever since I hurt my back in February. I have this really cool pair of sneakers that fit me perfectly and I love them, but I am fortunate enough to have a vacation house and I am always taking those shoes with me.
So I went on Amazon (AMZN) this morning and lo and behold I saw them for half price. I bought two pairs. Then I went over everything I have bought in the last year and got a bunch of those things. Then I bought a pair of binoculars, because mine were stolen. I paid half price.
Yep, Amazon's universal. I was talking to Alexa, while I was ordering, getting some new music on, asking questions. I saw that despite all of the Sturm und Drang of Amazon being late with things, all the delivery dates were within range. I didn't click on any ads, and I didn't need the speed of Web Services, but the whole thing reminded me about how special the darned company is. I don't care if it's ahead or behind plan for the moment. I would just buy some more when it goes down.
Finally, Apple (AAPL) . I think people who don't own Apple should look what they are holding at this very moment. Yes, right now. Or look at what's in your lap or on the table besides your fork. And then think about the bill you paid last night without knowing it. Think about what you bought in the App store yesterday. Think about what would happen if it would break or get stolen or, left in the Uber (UBER) , or heaven forbid, be dropped into the pool or in the, yes, toilet.
There, that's what you buy in halcyon times. Stocks of companies you know that if they go lower, because things get less halcyon, you are fine with it and buy more. If things go up, believe me, you will participate.
So accept the moment. Don't try for the hard money. Go for the easy kind. That's the best kind.

這幾週我耍廢的房間
從沒離開過
其實我們很幸福
至少我們平安
至少還算健康
雖然可能變胖
但
少一點責罵 多一點愛
如果真的要從中
找到一絲的正面
那大概就是與家人相處時間更多吧
珍惜當下
不要放棄希望
我們一起度過吧
最後
希望大家沒事盡量別出門
如果一定要出門
