Focus on Wellness (6) 健康重視戦略


フリートーク

1(S): Now, Chris, we talked about the focus on wellness. Uh...the
word "wellness" seems to be coming back. It means more than
just being well, right?

2(C): Yeah, I think so, because we have the word "well" and we
also have the word "healthy". So I think wellness is a larger
concept. It includes being healthy and it includes being uninjured

but that's still closer to physical health. I think wellness includes
the idea also of being happy and comfortable in your life, not just
physically and mentally, you know, the way you should be.

3(S): Well, compared to the 70's and 80's, people are more
health-conscious these days. We no longer hear about
three-martini lunches or liquid lunches, do we?

4(C): That's true. I think also maybe the pace of life is a little
slower, so you could have a drink or two at lunch time, and didn't
have to function immediately afterwards. But uh...it's it's not only
that I think part of it is because baby boomers are getting older,
though oldest ones are retirement age now. And uh...even the

I think they are thinking about their health a lot more.

5(S): They don't want to look old.

6(C): Yeah. I think, in the past, people just sort of assumed
they're gonna lose a couple of teeth as they got older and they
assumed they were gonna get wrinkled and they assumed they were

will start sagging and it's true all of those things do happen to
people, but the more they take care of yourself, the later it
happens or I think it happens less. I've read things about getting
older people even very old people to exercise makes quite a
difference in their quality of life or I suppose you could say in
their wellness.

7(S): And more people are on diet and we talked about portion
control.

8(C): Yeah, I think people are thinking about it a lot more
I don't know if it has much of an effect yet, ha ha...But if this
idea of wellness continues to become really main stream and
everybody just expects to have some degree of wellness in
their lives. Although I have read a couple of things, heard a
couple of things about people who think in the near future you
may be able to live for ever, or at least extend your life quite a
bit.

9(S): I am reminded of this graffiti we did a number of years
ago. Which went something like uh... I intend to live forever
so far so good.

10(C): Uh,Huh.

11(C): Ha ha..I guess everybody could say that.




あんな時、こんな時



□ Am I glad to see you!
(窮地に陥って、そこに誰か助ける人が現われた。)
ああよかった、といった時の表現

12(C): With the intonation you can make it more clear whether
you just happy to meet someone or whether they came in the
nick of time and saved you.

□ Glad you could drop by [stop by].

13(S): drop by も stop by も同じような意味ですね。ちょっと立ち
寄ってくれて、ありがとう。

14(C): Just be careful who you drop in on. Because or who you
drop by to see, because a lot of people are not too happy with
that.

15(C): You can also use this as a farewell. When the people
are walking down the sidewalk going back toward the car or to
the train station, you're waving good-bye, you could say "glad
you could stop by."

□ It's great to hear from you.

16(C):hear from は「お手紙をもらう」ということですけれど、

17(C): I think this one is when somebody calls you or sends a
letter. If they call you on the phone, of course, you can say it
directly to them after they've called you, if it's a letter, you
might write this in your reply and earlier we had "glad to hear
that." "Glad to hear that" you would say someone face to face.
"Glad to hear from you" implies that you are not face to face.

□ Charmed.

18(S): Charmed. というのはどういう時に使いますか?

19(C): It sounds a little old-fashioned to me or maybe a little
bit British. You can use that, when you meet somebody, it
means you are very charming, so I feel charmed just meeting
you.

20(S): fantastic と fabulous を結びつけた言葉として、
fantaburousなんていうのもある。

21(C): You could also say "delighted."

□ I'll be glad to do what I can.

22(C): The first one in this set is probably used usually when
somebody's made a request. and you're glad you can help
them or support them or give them what they'd like. The second
one can also be used the same way. It gives me great pleasure
to help you or to do what you would like. You can shorten it
and just say "With pleasure."

□ It gives me great pleasure.

23(C): The phrase "it gives me great pleasure" is fairly often
used to when people are introducing other people. Like on a
stage "It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you our speaker
tonight."



問題



24(C): There's all kinds of things you could say, but here is
pretty good one. "I'm so glad to see you again. You're looking
healthy and prosperous."

looking healthy and prosperous 健康で裕福そうに見えますね。
