to不定詞とは何かをわかりやすく例文で説明 名詞的、形容詞的、副詞的用法

to不定詞とは何かを理屈で覚えるよりも、よく使う例文を覚えてしまった方が、理解が早いと思います。英語は習うより慣れよです。まずは例文をいくつか見て、感覚を掴みましょう。

I want to meet her. 私は彼女に会いたい(彼女に会うことを望んでいる) (名詞的用法)

I went to the station to meet her. 私は彼女に会うために駅へ向かった (副詞的用法。目的)

I am happy to meet you. 私はあなたに会えて嬉しい。 (副詞的用法。結果)

Let’s find somewhere to sit down. どこか座れる場所を探そう。(形容詞的用法)

to不定詞の用法はどうやって見分ければいいですか?という質問が良くありますが、それは脳が、勉強=テスト対策という思想に汚染されているようなものです。いろいろな例文を見て、こういう動詞のとき、こういう状況のときはこういう意味になるのか、と自然に理解したほうがいいと思います。理屈は全て後付けにすぎないのですから。

 

「保冷剤」は英語でblue ice

保冷剤は英語でブルーアイス(blue ice)と言います。青い氷と呼ぶ理由は、保冷剤のパッケージの色が青いことが多いからでしょう。

保冷剤(blue ice)を使った例文を見てみましょう。

LIBRARY SHIPPING This library will be delivered as two pooled DNA half-libraries in microcentrifuge tubes on blue ice (tubes labeled A and B). (引用元:https://www.addgene.org/pooled-library/zhang-human-gecko-v2/

ライブラリーの発送 このライブラリーは、ミクロ遠心チューブに入った2つのプールDNA半数ライブラリー(AおよびBとラベルされた2つのチューブ)として保冷剤入りのパッケージで納品されます。

loud(副詞)とloudlyの違い

loudは形容詞と副詞の両方あります。-lyが語尾についたloudlyという副詞もあります。似ているよう意味は異なります。loudは大きな声で。loudlyは騒がしく。loudlyは、喧しく、騒々しく、うるさくという副詞。loudは単に音量や声量が大きくという意味です。

全豪オープン優勝大坂なおみ選手へのトニージョーンズ(Tony Jones)のインタビューが侮辱的と非難轟轟

どこにでも差別意識を持った人間がいるものだということを教えてくれるニュースだと思いました。以下、トニージョーンズ氏の言葉を紹介。

「とてもとても大きなトロフィーだね。よく、ここ(上の写真のセットがあるところ)まで運んでこれたね」

「笑顔だね」

「自分にはどんなご褒美をあげるの? 410万豪ドルというナイスな賞金をもらったね。

we would love you to pump that back into the economy それを是非経済に還元してほしいね

Your grandparents back at Japan and you left Japan as three and you still regard yourself as a Japanese player 祖父母は日本にいて、君は3歳の時に日本を去ったけど、今も自分を日本人プレーヤーだと思ってるんだね。

It took a time for your grandparents that you and your sisters wanted to play tennis and they finally came on board. 君と君の妹はテニスをしたがったが、祖父母が最終的にテニスをすることに賛成するまで時間がかかったね

We’re gonna give this to you at a price you won’t find anywhere else it’s a hundred and thirty-five
00:33
dollar value that we’re doing for six
00:35
easy payments of 1650

00:38 I didn’t realize panasonic with such a big player in the world of beauty it’s been a huge player in the world of beauty and as you said in Japan. Absolutely right now facial steaming is so on-trend and this has been a huge product for them and I’m so
excited to be able to bring this to you now I’m excited you are too well you know it’s interesting because we’re talking about being a trend and how you know you go to the spa and they steam your pores but really this has been going on for versus only beauty creams rates been a facial steaming is going to
01:08
tried-and-true beauty regimen since
01:11
ancient Greeks and Romans absolutely you
01:13
know what it cleanses it moisturizes it
01:15
hydrates your skin you can get a
01:18
beautiful complexion easily and now you
01:20
can do it at home yeah well I’ll tell
01:22
you this shows called Sandra’s beauty
01:23
secrets because I really do love
01:25
everything in this show and one of the
01:27
things that I like so much about this in
01:29
fact I did it today before I came to
01:30
work is that first of all I like a mess
01:32
in my bathroom though and I don’t have
01:34
an unlimited space I love the sleek
01:36
small footprint of this but me and
01:39
Barbara you turn it on and it
01:40
immediately goes to work it immediately
01:42
goes to work and if you look at Mary our
01:45
model right now that steam the neck of
01:48
the steamer go targets her face and her
01:51
neck it’s hydrating its moisturizing
01:53
with that ultrafine mist that gets in
01:56
there and here’s our animation that
01:58
absolutely the Nano facial steamer it
02:01
goes in really deeply and the other
02:04
steamers it just sits right on top of
02:06
your face so you’re getting that fine
02:09
mist that penetrates so this is
02:11
not the same quality of mr. say if you
02:13
just had like water on the stove or
02:15
something first of all it’s warm but
02:17
it’s never gonna burn you as not really
02:18
so that’s really nice but it actually
02:21
has a different feel to it that’s one of
02:23
the reasons I like it so much like when
02:24
you get it home you’ll see what I mean
02:26
that nano steam really does make such a
02:29
you know once it can set your makeup
02:31
when you use it it makes your your more
02:35
much more effective your moisturizers
02:37
and your serums when they go on and it

スチーマーが皮膚の湿度を上昇させたという科学的な研究

really deep plants I have in a clinical study and I’d love to tell you about
02:43
that in a study it was concluded that
02:46
the use of a facial steamer increased
02:48
the moisture in your skin gentle steam
02:51
helps open pores and that’s it I know in
02:54
the removal of makeup dirt and excess
02:56
oils as part of your cleaning routine
02:58
and it produces a seam that is much
03:01
smaller than regular steam so I was I’m
03:03
sort of laughing earlier with it it’s
03:05
like okay you could have a bot a pot of
03:08
boiling water with a towel over and have
03:11
steam or you could use that you know
03:13
what at least week years ago that boil
03:18
water and it’s true right then you put
03:21
it all over and you’re sitting there we
03:23
were over towel and then you’re soaking
03:25
wet
03:26
well and it gets too hot yes this is
03:28
gonna this is the thing about Panasonic
03:30
cuz they get it exactly right so have
03:31
this it’s not gonna be too hot for you
03:34
don’t put it about eight inches from
03:35
your face and I did this today
03:37
can we show how this works because my
03:39
favourite thing is I don’t like a lot of
03:40
mess and I don’t like a lot of clutter
03:41
in my bathroom so this really makes me
03:44
happy so right here is you’ve got simply
03:47
got this three up here is for a six
03:50
minute steam fill it to the top four
03:52
there is a three minute steam you just
03:55
simply fill it up with water

水のセット

03:56 I mean how simple is that and you pop it
03:58
right in and so that’s as easy as it
04:01
gets well and it starts steaming so
04:04
quickly in about 15-20 seconds you
04:06
already up to that fine nano mist it’s
04:09
going to deep clean and hydrate your
04:11
skin so you’re getting smooth supple
04:13
skin there it is that nano mist that’s
04:16
getting into your skin deeply cleaning
04:18
out those pores and the end another
04:21
steam as you said like the pasta pot
04:24
doesn’t reach that. So, you could go to a
04:27
spa you could you know because we all
04:29
know what do they start with when you
04:31
get a facial always start with this
04:33
leave I don’t get a tremendous amount of
04:35
facials but I’ve gotten my fair share
04:37
over the years I’ve never gotten one
04:39
where they don’t steam your face to be
04:41
able to do this at home in three to six
04:42
minutes so it does have it goes a full
04:45
treatment is six minutes you can do a
04:47
half with three minutes
04:48
I like that too because sometimes I just
04:51
want to like yeah my hydrate and open my
04:53
pores before I got another treatment a
04:55
look at math Nick I love math love do
04:57
this before you put any mask on it will
04:59
make all of your skincare work that
05:01
absolutely and you know what I do so it
05:03
sometimes in the morning I want to do a
05:05
three-minute steam because then I go and
05:07
I go to put my makeup on and my makeup
05:09
sets better looks nice right it’s
05:12
absolutely it’s supple its hydrated it’s
05:15
it looks amazing you really primed your
05:18
canvas. And then at night I come home I
05:20
cleanse my skin I take a shower I come
05:23
out of the shower and then I really you
05:26
know maybe get a lip glass of wine going
05:28
and I sit down and I have my nice facial
05:31
steam because and it’s six minutes and
05:33
it’s deep cleaning and then I know boy
05:36
if I really gotten rid of all my makeup
05:39
and cleaned and gotten into those pores
05:41
with that great nano is really what it’s
05:44
all about like a hydration but really
05:46
opening up the pores and helping clean
05:48
out all that dirt the oil the debris
05:50
maybe the makeup that you still have
05:51
what’s nice about this is that notice it
05:55
puts off a lot of steam sure does get
05:57
about eight inches from it and just
05:59
three to six minutes it’s not too hot I
06:02
think it really is the perfect steamer
06:04
it doesn’t take up a lot of space you
06:06
fill it up with tap water and you’re
06:08
done
06:09 You know what and I would look good
06:11
design and it’s fabulous because
06:13 Panasonic’s a company that’s over almost a hundred years old and so you know look
06:18
at how sleek it is on the counter
06:20
you know that steam is hitting meri
06:22
beautifully targeting her face and her
06:25
neck she’s getting that beautiful glow I
06:28
mean that’s what we want we want to look
06:30
supple and hydrated and that is mean its
06:34
steam its steam and it’s been around for
06:36
thousands
06:37
here she’s using I mean we pay a lot of
06:39
money I go to the spa I was thinking
06:41
like for what you would pay for one
06:42
facial loop like if you only use this
06:45
like twice a month actually you’re gonna
06:48
use it so much more than before you know
06:49
what I think about this like I guess you
06:52
only used it twice a month like I use
06:53
mine multiple times a week but let’s say
06:55
you only used it twice a month you know
06:56
by the time you you gave yourself a 3 or
06:59
6 minutes steam and then put your
07:00
favorite mask on that’s like you’re
07:02
getting a professional quality treatment. 
07:05 So, you know what when you start out
07:07
you’ll probably want to do 2 to 3 times
07:10
a week and then after a couple of weeks
07:11
you can do that steaming every day because it can really get in there and
07:16
get those pores cleaned your skin gets
07:18
so used to it,

場所を取らないコンパクトな設計

And by the way it’s if you
07:21
live in a house or an apartment that you
07:24
have a small bathroom this is smaller than my hairdryer it takes up no space
07:28
you don’t need special water it’s just
07:31
it really just is so beautifully designed. It doesn’t get hot I’ve had
07:36
seamers in the past that you had to keep
07:38
turning them to get the whole face this
07:41
covers your whole face and we can look
07:43
at the animation though why you want to
07:45
get a Panasonic steamer because you’re
07:47
getting that nano nano mist technology
07:50
it’s penetrating into your skin it’s
07:52
cleaning and opening up your pores
07:54
getting rid of excess oils and dirt and
07:57
a lot and it’s a smaller size steam than
08:01
regular steam.

Yeah.

You you will notice
08:05
right away and and as you said you can
08:07
go to the spa and or you could do
08:10
another extreme over regular steam or
08:13
you could have this beautiful sleek
08:15
Panasonic that’s reliable and dependable
08:17
and you know the Panasonic and steaming
08:21
is so on-trend and also tried and true
08:25
pride forever like we all know we should
08:28
be steaming our skin but it hasn’t been
08:30
that easy like this is easy it’s simple
08:32
it even looks nice.

It’s easy and simple because you’ve got water at home you’ve got a counter space you’ve got a plug to plug it in and you’re good to go if you have six minutes or three minutes you’re ready to go. I’ve used a variety of steamers I will tell you hands down.

09:20
[Applause]
09:22
so I guess I’m really excited about this
09:27
next one I have never presented this on
09:30
air before but anyone now you might not
09:33
realize that I used clip in extensions
09:36
my mom will know because she knows how
09:37
long my hair really is but take a look
09:39
at my hair tonight some of its mine a
09:42
lot of its not its Bellamy so for the
09:47
first time ever on QVC this is your
09:51
complete vanity kit you get your styling
09:54
tools you get your real human hair
09:56

09:58
quality done in the halo which will
10:00
explain which is such an easy way to put
10:02
them in everyone can do this we’re gonna
10:04
do it in the 16 inch that’s what I have
10:06
on or the 20 inch so the 16 inch is six
10:09
easy payments of $50 the 20 inch is six
10:12
easy payments of 66 60 I want to say
10:14
hello to Nicki ella zombie hi Mickey how
10:17
are you oh your hair looks amazing it’s
10:19
so good to see you so this is Nicki she
10:22
is the founder of Bellamy and you have
10:25
loved hair extensions since you were a
10:26
teenager I have and for me there’s such
10:29
a transformative product they give me so
10:31
much confidence and power and you’re
10:33
gonna see in just a few moments what I
10:34
mean by that your hair looks incredible
10:36
and Q I have the 16 inch right now which
10:38
is sort of my daytime look and I’m gonna
10:40
show you what the 20 inch looks like so
10:42
let me ask you this why Bellamy because
10:44
there are other hair extensions out
10:46
there yeah I know you spent years
10:48
looking for the ones you really wanted
10:50
until you started your own company why
10:51
do you like Bellamy so much whoa I think
10:53
with Bellamy the hair feels like it’s
10:55
yours and what I mean by that is it’s
10:57
100% human hair so it really blends in
11:00
with your own hair where you wouldn’t be
11:01
able to tell what the difference is
11:03
what’s the good stuff it is a good and
11:05
frankly human hair is really expensive
11:07
and you tend not to get enough to make a
11:09
difference sometimes I have shorter hair
11:11
and you want it longer it ends up
11:12
looking scraggly because you didn’t get
11:13
enough hair the thing about Bellamy is
11:16
it makes your hair look long

I’ve talked to [Nissin] and they’ve apologised,It’s obvious, I’m tan. It’s pretty obvious. I don’t think they did it on purpose to be ‘whitewashing’ or anything, but I definitely think that, next time they try to portray me or something, I feel like they should talk to me about it.
