Today, I'm going slow again. I was watching the TV series '8 simple rules' again this early morning. I've noticed that they were using a lot of idioms that I studied in this TRAINING section. It seems like this thingy is really paying off. 今日も、ゆっくり行こうと思います。またもや、「8 simple rules」という番組を夜中から見ていました。で気付いたのですが、この「TRAINING」書庫で勉強したイディオムがたくさん使われていたんですよね。この、これも、役に立ってるんだなぁって思いました。 From this article ↑こちらの記事から get the hang of something=learn how to do something (freedictionary.com)コツをつかむ ★You need some practice before you get the hang of it. コツを掴むには、まず練習が必要だよ。 ?b>I'm finally getting the hang of using this idiom. このイディオムを使うのに、やっとコツがつかめてきました。 ?b>Talking with people wasn't easy for me at first, but I guess now I'm getting the hang of it. 最初は人と話すのが苦手だったんですけど、今では、なんだかコツがつかめてきた気がします。 a lone wolf=one who prefers to go without the company or assistance of others. (freedictionary.com)一匹狼、いつも一人で行動をとる人 ?b>He's a lone wolf and kind of keeps to himself a lot. 彼は一匹狼で、なんか、人と関わらないんです。 ?b>I've been a lone wolf for some time now, and I think I should turn over a new leaf and hang out with some co-workers. もう長い間一匹狼だったけど、心機一転して、同僚達と付き合ってみたほうが良いかなって思うんです。 ★You are missing out on a lot of great opportunities being a lone wolf like that. そんな風に一匹狼でいると、素晴らしいチャンスをたくさん、みすみす逃してる事になるんだよ。 have a weak spot for someone or something=feel attraction to or affection for someone or something (freedictionary.com)何か（誰か）に、好意を持っている ★I have a weak spot for these cute little puppies. この小さな子犬達、気に入っているんですよね〜 ?b>I don't know. Somehow, I have a weak spot for this kind of movies. なんだか解らないですけど、どういう訳か、こういう映画は好きなんですよね〜 ★Kelly seems to have a weak spot for older guys. ケリーは年上の男の人に好意を持ってるようです。 修正：
I originally posted this item as "have a week spot for someone or something." This was a typo. It's correct form is "have a weak spot for someone or something." It's not 'week' but 'weak'. 最初はhave a week spot for someone or somethingって紹介していたのですが、正しくはhave a weak spot for someone or somethingでした。weekではなく、weakでした。 have a soft spot for someone or something=feel a lot of affection for someone or something, often without knowing why (freedictonary.com)何か（誰か）に、凄く好意を持っている（多くの場合、なぜだか解らないけど、好意をもっている） 「なんか無性に好きなんですよね〜」っていうカンジかな？ ★I have a soft spot for Kelly. Something about her is really amazing! ケリーって、なんかメチャ好きなんですよね。彼女の、何か分からないけど、ホントに凄いんです。 ★Look at that young skater! I have a really soft spot for her. あの若いスケーター見て！彼女、なんだかとっても好きなんですよね〜 ?b>I don't get it, but John seems to have a soft spot for the game of chess.
どういう訳か分からないんですが、ジョンは、チェスっていうゲームが無性に好きならしいです。 |

I don't think I am a lone wolf. But every now and then I get an urge to go on
a solo trip without having any set schedule or anything. A month solo trip
to India and Nepal right after college was amazing! Believe or not, that was
my very first trip abroad. It was many moons ago!

ＴＪさん＞ありがとうございます！いえいえ^^ どういたしまして。私も最近知ったidiomだったんですよ〜 今回、例文作りながら一生懸命に覚えました^^

ジュリエットさん＞ありがとうございます！本当に、その通りですよね。やっぱり、自分で何回か使ってみるのが一番手っ取り早い、というか、効率的なのかも知れません。私も、ここでたくさん練習させて貰っているお陰で、かなり勉強になったと思います♪ジュリエットさんも、例文など思いつかれたら、ご紹介下さいね〜☆^^

内緒さん＞Oh, bummer! Oops! I did it again♪^^ Thank you so much for pointing it out, 内緒さん. ha ha^^ I'm so embarrassed. Let me make corrections right now. It's very nice of you. And I'm ashamed that I didn't see it myself. I made mistake on the idiom entry as well as in all the example sentenses. ha ha. I guess this must be my bad hair day.^^

Mr.T-san＞Thank you. Wow! You went to India and Nepal! That's awesome! Hmm, come to think of it, I've never been to a trip abroad before. Well, that is, if I don't count the period I spent in Texas and the time I visited a friend in Taiwan. Going solo on a trip must have been an amazing experience. I have to take my hat off to you for it.

Yes, traveling northern part of India, Katmandu and its neighboring villages was
an incredible experience. It was just a blast! I could go back if only I had more
time and money. Tiger san, you should go too! I strongly recommend!

とれっちさん＞ありがとうございます！ひひ^^ はげしく〜〜！ですか（笑 いつも、読んで下さって、有難く思っています♪ ぜひ、使ってみて下さいね〜☆ Maybe, you've already got the hang of getting along well with your co-workers. Reading your blog articles is good entertainment, trecchi-san♪ It always makes me smile.^^

Mr.T-san＞Thank you. Yes, yes!^^ I would like to visit those places. Once, a friend of mine traveled around south and southeast Asia just on his own. He showed me a lot of pictures, and they looked really nice! And I guess that the excitement and the inspiration I would get from actually being there must be much greater than what I felt by just seeing those pictures. (If only I had more time and money．．．well, this time only the money counts, doesn't it? sigh．．．^^汗）

I'm getting the hang of e-mailing by a cell-phone.
I had to do some practice before I get the hang of it.
Now, I'm gradually getting the hang of using this idiom!
Yeah, TIGER san, you're completely right.
Leaving a message in English must be one of the best ways to get the hang of idioms!
Although my English is not good enough, poot English is no reason not to speak or write.

soy koko-san＞Thank you for your comment. And I'm so delighted to see the idiom used in so many sentences♪^^ It's impressive! I have to hand it to you, soy koko-san. And I appreciate it. With your help, I feel like the idiom 'get the hang of' is engraved much deeper in my heart.(←I was groping for the verb, 'engrave', didn't recall it, and so looked it up in a dictionary on the net.^^汗）
2007/10/16(火) 午後 11:15
soy koko-san＞Again, I'd like to say, thank you so much♪^^ I really enjoyed your comment. And what I'm about to say may sound like something of a cliche nowadays, but yet, it is the truth. And it is this. Soy koko-san, you are just awesome!!^^
