The Concept of Honor
26日、27日とレッスンを受けています。
1. To think more/less of someone means to have a better/worse opinion of a person.
People started to think less of the famous actor when they found out that he was abusive.
2. To humiliate someone means to make a person feel really embarrassed, especially in front of other people.
It’s not nice to laugh at your friend’s mistake – you humiliated him.
3. To lose face means to feel like you lost others’ respect because of something very embarrassing.
The pop star lost face when she joined a singing competition and was beaten by an amateur.
最近、言えてないなぁ、表現に迷うなと思うことが多い。
英語でそのまま考えてなくて、日本語を簡単にして考えているからかな。
offensive とかパッとでるようになりたいですね。
