「遠慮する・しない」の意味として使える英語表現
=================================
英語でやんわりと遠慮がちに相手からの誘いを断ったり、逆に遠慮している友達に対して「遠慮しないでいいよ」と言いたい時、どのように表現していますか?今回は「遠慮する」「遠慮しない」の意味として使える英表現をご紹介したいと思います。
~誘いやオファーを丁寧に断る時の「遠慮する」~
--------------------------------------------------
I think I’ll pass (this time)
→ 「遠慮しておくよ」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現は、相手の誘いに対し「遠慮しておくよ」とやんわり断るときに使える口語表現で、友達や同僚だけでなく、目上の人や年長者に対しても使える便利なフレーズです。例えば、友人からカラオケに誘われたものの、気分が乗らないためやんわりと断りたい時は「I think I’ll pass this time.」と言うといいでしょう。this timeを加えて「今回は遠慮しておきます」のように表現しても、this timeを加えずに「I think I’ll pass.」だけで表現してもOKです。ここでのポイントは I think を文頭に加えることです。I’ll passだけでも「遠慮するよ」を意味しますが、I think を加えることでより控えめで自然な響きになります。
また、「〜を遠慮する」と言いたい場合は「I’ll pass on karaoke.(カラオケは遠慮しておきます)」や「I’ll pass on dinner tonight.(今夜の食事は遠慮しておくよ)」のように、I’ll pass on の後に遠慮する対象が続きます。
<例文>
That sounds like a lot of fun but I think I’ll pass this time.
(すごく楽しそうだけど、今回は遠慮しておくよ。)
I’d love to join you guys for dinner tonight but I think I’ll pass this time.
(今夜みんなと食事をしたいのは山々ですが、今回は遠慮しておきます。)
I think I’ll pass on the snowboarding trip. Thanks for the invite though.
(スノボ旅行は遠慮しておくよ。でも、誘ってくれてありがとう。)
~相手に気をつかって「遠慮しないで」と言いたい時~
--------------------------------------------------
1) Go ahead and _____.
→ 「遠慮しないで〜してください」
--------------------------------------------------
Go ahead は「さぁどうぞ」を意味することから、「Go ahead and _____」と表現することで、日本語の「遠慮しないで〜して」の意味として使うことができます。例えば、後輩に食事をご馳走するときに「遠慮しないで、好きなのを注文していいよ」と伝える場合は「Go ahead and order whatever you want.」と言います。使い方はとても簡単で、Go ahead andの後に遠慮しなくてもいい内容を続けるだけです。
<例文>
Go ahead and make yourself at home.
(遠慮しないでくつろいでね。)
Go ahead and start eating before it gets cold.
(遠慮しないで冷めないうちに食べ始めてくださいね。)
Go ahead and say what’s on your mind.
(遠慮せずに思ってることを言ってください。)
--------------------------------------------------
2) Help yourself to _____.
→ 「ご自由にどうぞ / 遠慮なく召し上がってください」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現は、食事会やパーティーなどで「ご自由にどうぞ」や「遠慮なく召し上がってください」などの意味としてよく使われ、(私の)承諾は必要ありませんので、自由にやってください」といったニュアンスがあります。例えば、自分が開催するホームパーティーでゲストに対して「遠慮なく召し上がってください」と伝える時は「Please help yourself.」と言います。「遠慮なく〇〇を召し上がってください」は、「Please help yourself to some doughnuts.(遠慮なくドーナツを召し上がってください)」や「Please help yourself to some coffee.(遠慮なくコーヒーをお召し上がりください)」のように、help yourself to の後に、食べ物や飲み物などの対象を続けます。
<例文>
Please help yourself to a drink.
(遠慮せずに飲んでね。)
We have plenty of food. Please help yourself to more.
(食べ物はいっぱいあるので、自由におかわりしてね。)
Make yourself at home. Help yourself to anything in the fridge.
(自分の家のようにゆっくりしてね。冷蔵庫のものはなんでも自由に食べていいから。)
--------------------------------------------------
3) Don’t hesitate to _____. / Feel free to _____.
→ 「遠慮しないで〜してください」
--------------------------------------------------
ビジネスシーンで取引先や顧客に「遠慮せずに〜してください」と言う時によく使われる定番表現が「please don’t hesitate to _____」です。Hesitateはためらうことを意味し、このフレーズを直訳すると「ためらわずに〜してください」になります。例えば、電話やメールで「どうぞ遠慮せずにご連絡下さい」と言いたい場合は、「Please don’t hesitate to contact me.」と表現します。Please を加えずに「Don’t hesitate to contact me.」と言うこともできますが、Please を加えることで丁寧な響きになります。
「Don’t hesitate to _____」と意味は同じだが、よりカジュアルな言い回しとしてよく使われるフレーズが「Feel free to _____」です。同じ部署で働いている仲間やある程度は面識のある顧客であれば「Please feel free to contact me.(遠慮しないで連絡してください)」を使うといいでしょう。
<例文>
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
(質問がございましたら、どうぞ遠慮なくご連絡ください。)
If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us anytime.
(何かございましたら、いつでも遠慮なくご連絡ください。)
Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.
(他にも必要な情報がございましたら、遠慮なくご連絡ください。)
~言動などを控えて欲しい時の「ご遠慮ください」~
--------------------------------------------------
Please refrain from _____.
→ 「〜はご遠慮ください / 〜をお控えください」
--------------------------------------------------
誰かに対して「〜はご遠慮ください」や「〜はお控えください」のように、何かをやめて欲しいと腰を低くしながらお願いする時によく使われる表現です。例えば、「喫煙はご遠慮ください」は「Please refrain from smoking.」、「携帯電話の使用はお控えください」は「Please refrain from using your cell phone.」のように言うことができます。
✔アメリカでは「〇〇はご遠慮ください」の意味として、「Thank you for not smoking.(喫煙はご遠慮ください)」や「Thank you for not using your cell phone.(携帯電話のご利用はご遠慮ください)」と書かれたポスターを見かけることがよくあります。しかし、この表現は基本的に注意書きとして使われるため、会話で使ってしまうと違和感があるので気をつけましょう。

please feel free to contact me anytime 在 Food of Hong Kong by Epicurushongkong Facebook 的最佳解答
The Overseas but slightly ignorant Foreign News coverages vs the Local Hong Kong news, or worse to the impossibly monitored Communist China News and the latter is often controlled fully, has infiltrated Hong Kong/China press rights and seem to be at a discrepancy, we all know how the drill runs by default now already yawn (it's all controlled unless Independents dare to speak out) .. Its all BS when at Will. Feel free to contact me as a middle person to interpret or describe all the minute details slowly, but I have summarized most of them into my IG Highlight HK Police Folder for many months for your following. I guess most Foreign Reporters however tried their best to be fair and is appreciated 🥰👲🏻👮🏿♂️, but are often shut out from all of true news, Language barriers aside but we could connect anytime. I don't know who keeps saying it is only Young protesters here who are fighting in HK for their own future. You have been duped by the Government via Propaganda moves and hidden reports as always. But fark off ok I am only here to give u the details and just let u decide urself, no one is perfect ever in this World. *And shut up to those who kept telling me this is my Food Account & I should only publish about Food, which I seem to know coz I do Care. I only ever post Hong Kong food from Historical to Modern Dim Sums view to protect about this sacred region and migrational food along the way in Asia, as its Proven History truly deserves its own merit.. I can't see why they can't both be combined together since I lived and loved here all my Life and it keeps the City Alive 🌎 我可以肯定地同你講我有自己理由, 先繼續行這步驟. 慢慢先放料但係當馬來西亞 Dr. MAHATHIR 已經開到聲咗叫林鄭落台是上策. 佢條友精過鬼 梗係有個理由先講出口. You could ask me and I will explain anytime, but thus far I ain't getting much accurate questions to the likes of F1 @Lewishamilton 5 Time Champion quality to be super precise.. But he is Concentrating on his 6th Reign & Title. But I remember he saying, he wanted to owe something to his past with Hong Kong. And please do Help if u have any spare capacity, but we all understand your Hands are full with the Championship fight and beyond 😎😍

In first grade, a boy named John— a notorious troublemaker—systematically chased every girl in our class during recess trying to kiss her on the lips. Most gave in eventually. It was easier to give in than keep running. When it was my turn, I turned and faced him, grabbed his glasses off his weasel face, and stomped on them on the hard blacktop. He ran to the principal’s office and cried.
In fifth grade, I was asked to be a boy’s girlfriend over email. It was the first email I ever received. He actually told me he wanted to send me an email, so I went home and made an AOL account. We went to a carnival and he won me a Garfield stuffed animal, and then he gave me a 3 Doors Down CD. A few days later, he broke up with me, and asked for Garfield and the CD back. I said no.
In sixth grade, a girl in my year gave head to an eighth grader in the back of the school bus while playing Truth or Dare.
In the summer after sixth grade, I kissed a boy for the first time at sleep away camp. He was my summer love. During the end-of-the-summer dining hall announcements, where kids usually announced lost sweatshirts and Walkmen, an older girl stepped up to the microphone, tossed her hair behind her shoulders, and proudly stated, “I lost something very precious to me last night. My virginity. If anyone finds it, please let me know.” The dining hall erupted into laughter and cheers. She was barred from ever coming back to the camp again, and wasn’t allowed to say goodbye to anyone.
In seventh grade, I told my brother I decided when I was older wanted a Hummer. What I really meant was I wanted a Jeep, but I didn’t know a lot about cars. My mother overheard and screamed at me for “wanting a Hummer.”
In the summer after freshman year of high school, I went to sleepaway field hockey camp with many of my close friends. One of them, named Megan, I had been friends with since kindergarten. One night when I was showering, she ripped open the curtain and snapped a photo of me on her disposable camera. I screamed. She laughed. We both laughed when I got out of the shower a few minutes later. After camp was over, her father took the camera to the convenience store to get it developed. When he gave the finished photos back to her, he said, “Your friend [Anonymous] has grown up.”
Sophomore year of high school, one of my best friends Hilary had a party in her basement while her mom was away. We invited some of the guys in our grade and someone’s older brother bought us a handle of vodka. One of the boys who came sat next to me in Spanish class. His name was Thomas. I remember playing a simple game, where we passed the bottle of vodka around in a circle and drank. I remember being happily tipsy and having fun, to suddenly being very drunk. Thomas and I started chanting numbers in Spanish, and he leaned towards me and kissed me. We kissed in the middle of the party, with all of our friends cheering. Then we went into Hilary’s bedroom.
Hilary’s bedroom was in the basement, on the ground floor, with a large window next to her bed. When someone went outside to smoke a cigarette, they realized it was a front row seat to what was happening in the bedroom. It was dark outside, and the light on was in the bedroom. They called everyone outside to watch. I don’t remember getting undressed, but apparently we were both completely naked in Hilary’s bed. A friend of mine told me later she tried to open the door and stop what was happening, but Thomas must have locked it. They said they pounded on the door. I don’t remember hearing them pounding. I don’t remember seeing everyone’s faces outside the window. I remember Thomas holding my head down, and shoving his penis into my mouth. I remember trying to resist, pulling back, but he held his hands firmly on my head, pushing my face up and down. That’s all that I remember.
The next day, my friends and I went out to dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants. I couldn’t eat anything, and it wasn’t because I was hung over. Every time I tried to put food in my mouth, I felt like I was choking. Anytime a flash of the night before appeared in my mind, I felt like vomiting. My friends sat with me in silence. Then they told me a girl named Lindsey, who had briefly dated Thomas freshman year, had stood outside and watched the entire time. Even after everyone else stopped watching. My friends said they didn’t watch.
On Monday, Thomas and I sat next to each other in Spanish. We didn’t speak. We didn’t make eye contact. I went to the girls bathroom and threw up. I hear Lindsey and Thomas live together, now, ten years later.
Junior year of high school, my teacher for Honors Spanish was named Señor Gonzales. Señor Gonzales had all of the girls sit in the front row. Señor Gonzales called on any girl who was wearing a skirt to write on the chalkboard. Señor Gonzales asked a friend of mine, who had broken her finger playing an after school sport, if she broke her finger because “she liked it rough.” Señor Gonzales was a tenured teacher.
Senior year of high school, I got my first real boyfriend. His name was Colin. He was on the lacrosse team with Thomas. He told me that sophomore year, Thomas told everyone on the team what happened that night at Hilary’s. Everyone cheered. Colin said that, even then, he had a crush on me. Even then, he wanted to punch Thomas.
Colin and I lost our virginities to each other. Colin said if I got pregnant, he would make me have the baby. He didn’t believe in abortion. Colin said if I got pregnant, he would make me have a C-section. Colin said that if I didn’t have a C-section, my vagina would be too loose for him to ever enjoy having sex with me again. Colin said that he wouldn’t let our child breastfeed. He said his mother gave him formula, and that he turned out just fine. I didn’t get pregnant.
Junior year of college, I lived in Denmark for the spring semester and studied at the University of Copenhagen. Copenhagen is one of the safest cities in the world. Guns are illegal there. Pepper spray is illegal there. One night, my friends and I went to a concert at a crowded club in a part of the city I didn’t know very well. I brought a tiny purse with money, my apartment key, and my international cell phone. For some reason it made sense at the time to put my purse inside my friend’s purse. Maybe I didn’t feel like carrying it. We were both drinking. My friend left the concert to go home with her boyfriend. One by one, everyone I was there with left the concert, until I was suddenly alone and I realized I didn’t have my purse, or any money for a cab ride home.
I started walking in the direction that felt right. I walked for a long time. I had no idea where I was, and didn’t recognize the area. It was almost 4 am. I was on a residential street when a cab pulled up next to me. I asked the driver if he could drive me to an intersection down the street from my apartment.
I don’t have any money, I said.
I really need your help, I said.
I will do it for free, he said.
Sit in the front, he said.
I sat in the front. We drove in silence for some time, until he pulled over on the side of a dark street.
I don’t want to do it for free anymore, he said.
He locked the car doors and reached across the center console and slipped his hand up my skirt. He grabbed my vagina. Hard. I pushed his hand away and unlocked the door. I ran down the street and realized he had taken me a block away from the intersection I wanted. I walked to my apartment and threw rocks at my roommate’s window until she let me inside. She yelled at me for waking her up. I escaped. Nothing happened. I was fine.
The summer after I graduated college I helped Hilary find an internship. She was an art major and wanted something for her resume besides waitressing. We found a posting on Craigslist to be a studio assistant for a painter in the Bronx. It was listed as an unpaid internship. The toll for the George Washington Bridge was twelve dollars, plus gas, but she got the internship anyway. She wanted the experience.
The artist was a 38-year-old Canadian painter named Bradley. Hilary was 22.There was another intern there, an art student from Manhattan named Stella. Bradley needed assistants to help him make bubble wrap paintings. Stella and Hilary would take a syringe and fill the tiny bubbles with different color paints until it formed a mosaic. Bradley always had Hilary stay after Stella left to clean the paintbrushes and syringes. He told Hilary she was beautiful. More beautiful than his wife, who he only married for citizenship. He told Hilary they had a loveless marriage. He told Hilary he wanted to have her beautiful children. They began an affair. He told Hilary has wife knew and didn’t care. He told Hilary he was going to leave his wife soon.
Everyday Hilary drove to the Bronx, cleaned Bradley’s paintbrushes, and had sex on the studio floor. Everyday she went home with no money, and everyday she paid the toll at the George Washington Bridge. She needed the internship for her resume, she said. It was too late to find a new job, she said.
I could go on. I could tell you a lot more. About the whistles on the sidewalk, the kids who sat at the bottom of the stairs in high school to look up our skirts, my friend who was a prostitute in South Carolina, the men who’ve cornered me in parking lots and bars calling me a tease, the unwanted grabbing on the subway, the many times my father has called me fat, the time I traveled to the Philippines and discovered Western men pay preteen locals to spend the week in their hotel, the messages on OKCupid asking to “fart in my mouth.” About how I wasn’t sure if I had been raped because I was drunk and kissed Thomas back. How he raped my mouth and not my vagina, so that must not be rape. How easy it was for me to escape the dark street in Copenhagen, and how that made it not matter since “it could’ve been worse.”
Men have no idea what it takes to be a woman. To grin and bear it and persevere. The constant state of war, navigating the relentless obstacle course of testosterone and misogyny, where they think we are property to be owned and plowed. But we’re not. We are people, just like them. Equals, in fact, or at least that’s the core of what feminism is still trying to achieve. The job is not over. We’ve made great progress. There are female CEOs, though not very many. There are females writing for the New York Times and winning Pulitzer prizes, though not very many. There are female politicians, though not very many. But these advances are only on paper. The job won’t be over until equality permeates the air we breathe, the streets we walk and the homes we live in.
I think back to how easy it was for me, in first grade, to feel fearless and strong in my conviction to stomp on John’s glasses. I felt right in reacting how I did, because John’s behavior was wrong. But his was an elementary learning of the wide boundaries his gender would go on to afford him. For me, it would never again be so easy.

※ 引述《dirrtybon (阿尼)》之銘言:
: 最近寫信常常在結尾需要寫到
: 有任何問題 請和我連繫
: 我是寫成 Any further questions, please feel free to contact with me.
: 但被人揪正缺少if主詞做為開頭
: 正確:If you have any questions, please feel free to contact with me.
: 我想請問若是以口頭語來寫的話
: 以Any further questions, 做為開頭的句子
: 對英語系國家的人來說 他們有可能會如此簡略嗎?
: 亦或有沒有其他簡略的口語用法
商用信件等正式文件盡量避免使用較口語化的用詞,所以糾正後的文句較恰當
而省略過後的any further questions?是一個問句,
做為開頭句子有點奇怪,不會如此簡略
"有任何問題 請和我連繫"可以翻成
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
You are welcome to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
簡短的用法則可以用let
EX: Let me know if you have any (further) questions.
: 還有這句
: Any further questions about prices please continuing to contact with me,
: we could negociate.
: 這句文法對嗎?? 假如不對的話,應該怎麼改比較恰當?
: 謝謝orz。
就文法來說可以改成
If you have any further questions about prices, please continue to contact me.
We could negotiate.
不過有點台式英語的味道XD
像中文我們常說"請持續和我連絡"和"歡迎來信協商"沒什麼問題
但直接翻成英文會感覺怪怪的
可以當成"對價格有任何問題 請和我連繫"翻成
If you have any questions about prices, please contact me.
queries
也可以把價錢和問題分開寫
Above/Below is our pice list. If you have any further questions, please......
"歡迎協商"部分有需要可以用
There is room for negotiation.
You are welcome to negotiate prices with us.
Prices are negotiable.
