New Horizon (2) Wednesday, October 5

1) appreciate = 理解するという意味と、感謝するという意味と両方ある。こ

Yeah, I think it's... it's quite strongly mixed here because on the
one hand, he is pretty much decided to leave the company and May Grey
won't be very pleased with that. But on the other hand, he's also been
very open about it, because he may wanna come back some day. And I
think, she is glad he's been opening clear. So, she is sort of
thanking him for that and she is also understanding his position at
the same time.

2) In a discussion or an argument, this phrase means "I head what you
said, but I disagree."

3) on the surface
"On the surface" is a nice useful phrase meaning I haven't looked into

is "at first glance." A similar phrase is "superficially." But,
superficially is usually used when you are saying it's only the
surface and that's a negative point.

4) devil's advocate 悪魔の代理人
In stead of "take on the role of devil's advocate, many people say

But, a "devil's advocate" is interesting also. First of all,
"advocate" means a backer or supporter generally and specifically can
also mean attorney or lawyer. The phrase "devil's advocate" though,
usually describe somebody who's supporting the opposite argument for
the sake of argument by arguing by discussing two sides of some issue.
You can lean more about the issue or you can test the argument that's
you really support. So, playing devil's advocate is like supporting
the devil, it's taking up the other side.

5) So, here's an example of Grey playing devil's advocate. Usually,
this would be a pretty aggressive question to ask someone who just
said they were pretty much decided to move to a new position. It
almost sounds like she thinks he can't look into the new job on his
own. But, because she already said she was gonna be the devil's
advocate for his decision, it's OK for her to ask hard and direct
questions.

6) It's a good thing that Grey decided play the devil's advocate,
because he's already found an area that Takahashi hasn't looked into
very carefully that is about the culture of the company he's thinking
about joining. He begins by saying frankly, although phrases he
could use include, "to tell the truth," or "actually," it depends on
how formally he wants to express himself.

7) Takahashi-san also talks about leveling with the people who might
become his new team members. Level with is very informal way to say
talk openly or frankly, but sometimes if you look at someone and say,
"I'll level with you," it's usually a signal that they are going to
tell you something you don't really want to hear.

8) Join us next time.
