Be Your Own Boss (1) Monday, September 19
1) What's the occasion? どうしたんですか？
"What's the occasion" is a fairly common question when somebody is
offering you something nice and when you're wondering why. "Occasion"
is often used with the word "special," "a special occasion," something
that needs the special recognition but it can also mean a reason or an
opportunity and it's also use sometimes for vaguely kind of social
event. So when people ask, "What's the occasion," they usually mean
something like, "Is it somebody's birthday?" "What are we
promotion?" something good like that.
2) QT = quiet
"QT" is kind of an interesting thing to say. It's slang for quiet,
keep it quiet, keep it secret. And it probably comes from people using
the first letter and the last letter of the word quiet. Occasionally I
think you see it on the "Q and T," although I usually hear it without
the "and."
Keep it on the QT. = 秘密にしておく、内緒にしておく。（口語）
3) take it for granted
"Take it for granted" is a phrase that means we understand it, we
don't really need to talk about it. It's a given.
新しいことにチャレンジする期待感と不安感がミックスされているということ
That's right. You feel both happy and worried at the same time.
5) liaise
"Liaise" is sort of a newish verb that was created from the original
noun "liaison." When you take a noun and make a verb out of it, that's
starting out with the verb and changing it into a noun. A couple of
other examples are "escalate" from "escalator," which was originally a
product name, and "burgle" from "burglar."
6) millionaire 大金持ち
In English, when you talk about a rich person, you often call them a
millionaire, meaning they have a million dollars. Nowadays a million
dollars doesn't go as far as it used to. It's not so unusual to be a
millionaire, I guess, although I'm not one. But we still use the
phrase generally to mean somebody with a lot of money.
7) color me + 形容詞 or 名詞 私を～と呼んでください。私は～です。
The phrase "color me" usually followed by an adjective, although
sometimes an actual color is used... became fairly popular in the 80s,
I think. And it just a way to describe yourself. Some other examples
that you might hear are "color me skeptical," "color me shocked," "color me unimpressed" or "color me stupid." They are all kinds of ways to
describe yourself.
自分のことを言うときだけに使う
color you や color her とは使わない
