S04E39 | S&R1 まるで〜かのように as if it were ~ 私はまだ日本語を勉強し始めたばかりなのに、まるで日本語がぺらぺらであるかのように自信を持って日本人に話しかけました

〜っぱなし：~ keeps on happening; ~ stays as it is, to leave ~ as it is 昨日は仕事で朝から炎天下の中、外で一日中立ちっぱなしだったので、日焼けもしちゃったし、足もすごく疲れたので、帰ってベッドに直行だったんですよね Yesterday, I was standing outside all day since morning in the scorching sun for work. As a result, I got sunburned and my feet became extremely tired, so when I got home, I went straight to bed.…

なので、その日の晩はお酒を飲まずにはいられなかったらしいんですよね。何ともかわいそうな話ですよね。So it seems they couldn't help but drink alcohol that night. It's quite a pitiful story.

おまけにプレゼンの資料も人数分なかったらしくて、踏んだり蹴ったりだったみたいですよ。On top of that, it seems there weren't enough handouts for everyone at the presentation, so it was just one thing after another.

どうやら徹夜してプレゼンをなんとか仕上げたらしいんですけど、翌朝の会議に遅刻しちゃったみたいなんですよね。 It seems that after staying up all night to somehow finish the presentation, she/he ended up being late for the meeting the next morning.

日本人があまり住んでいない所に住んでいた時、珍しく日本人の観光客がいるのを見て、思わず声をかけてしまいました。 When I was living in a place where there were only a few Japanese residents, I saw some Japanese tourists which was rare, so I couldn't help but call out to them.

日本に行っても毎回東京にしか行かないなんて、マイケルさんぐらいでないとありえないですよね笑 To visit Japan but only go to Tokyo every single time, that's unimaginable unless you're someone like Michael, isn't it?

語学の勉強は、量もこなしながらコツコツやらないと、上達することなんてありえないですよね。 When it comes to studying languages, it's impossible to improve unless you steadily put in the effort while also spending a sufficient amount of time(, right?)

どういう訳か、他のチームの仕事も手伝わないといけないことになってしまいました。For some reason, I ended up having to help with the work of other teams as well.For some reason, I was told to help another team with their project as well.

毎日のようにジムに行ったり勉強も続けているっていうことだけを聞くと、相当意思の強い人のように聞こえるかもしれないですよね。 If you only hear that someone goes to the gym almost every day and continues studying, they might sound like a very determined person, right? (implying "but not really")

S&R 3｜間違いなく without a doubt 1) [0:26] この映画は、間違いなく今まで見た中で一番良かったんですよ。This movie was absolutely the best ever. 2) [1:25] コツコツやれば間違いなくできるようになりますよ。 If you do it steadily/diligently, you will definitely be able to do it.

この日焼け止めは、使用感がとても良くて使いやすいので、毎日使ってるんですよ。This sunscreen has a very good feel when using it and is easy to apply, so I use it every day.

波瀾万丈な人生を送ってきた人たちの話は、どれを聞いても（or どれも）本当に興味深いですよね。
