Dialogue
① We all wanted it to succeed.【 want 目的語 to 不定詞 の形 】
👉 wanted it to succeed というフレーズが出てきましたね。「それが、to succeed の方向に
進ように wanted をしていました」というわけです。
② I guess that’s true. 【 guess のニュアンス 】
👉この guess の使い方しっかりと、その気持ちを理解してみてください。guess は、think よりも
確信が持てない「思う」という表現ですね。つまり、相手の言った内容をあまり認めたくない、という
心理が働くことがあるわけです。「認めたくないけど、やあそういうことになりそうですね。」- それが
I guess のここでの意味合いとなるわけです。
③ It was a valuable lesson.【 valuable の意味 】
👉 valuable これは、「価値が高い、貴重な」という単語。
