=================================
「関係ある・ない」を状況に応じた的確な英語で表現しよう
=================================
英語で「関係ある・ない」を表す言い回しは沢山ありますが、中でもrelationやrelateを使って表現する人が多いのではないでしょうか?しかし、それら以外にもネイティブは状況に応じて様々な言い回しをしています。臨機応変に「関係ある・ない」を表現できるようになりましょう。
--------------------------------------------------
1) Have something to do with / have nothing to do with
→「~と関係・関連がある / ~と関係・関連がない」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現は、ここで紹介するフレーズの中でも、もっとも使いやすく汎用性の高い言い回しでしょう。下記のように、somethingの代わりに他の(量を表す)言葉を入れることで、関係性の度合いを示すことができます。
✔have nothing to do with = 「何も関係がない」
✔have little to do with = 「ほとんど関係がない」
✔have everything to do with = 「完全に関係がある」
<例文>
Fights often have something to do with communication problems.
(喧嘩のほとんどはコミュニケーションの問題から発生する。)
The dog has a pink tail? I’m certain my daughter had something to do with that.
(犬のしっぽがピンクに?絶対に娘がやらかしたんだと思う。)
It seems the problem with your TV has nothing to do with wiring.
(君のテレビが使えないのは、接続問題じゃないみたいだよ。)
--------------------------------------------------
2) Relevant / irrelevant
→「関係(関連性)のある / 無関係の」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現は、人の関係性ではなく、シチュエーションやモノについて使うことが一般的です。そのため、「その人には関係ないから」を「she is irrelevant.」と言ってしまうと、「人として関係ない」という意味になってしまい、かなり失礼になるので注意が必要です。また、relevantは関連性があることも意味し、関連企業(relevant company)や関係当局(relevant authority)のような使い方も出来ます。
<例文>
〜会話例1〜
A: But, didn’t you cheat on your girlfriend too?
(でも、あんたも浮気したんちゃうん?)
B: That’s irrelevant!!
(それは関係ないやろ!)
This might not be relevant to the situation, but …
(この状況には使えないかもしれないけど・・・。)
Please contact the relevant authority regarding this issue.
(この件については関係当局に連絡しておいてください。)
--------------------------------------------------
3) Concern/doesn’t concern
→「~に関係する / ~に関係のない」
--------------------------------------------------
「心配する」 や「興味がある」という意味でConcernを覚えている人も多いと思いますが、この単語はその他にも、人が何かについて興味がある・ないと表現する場合にも使います。例えば、自分が関心がない・どうでもいいと思っている場合は、「Sorry, that doesn’t concern me.(私には関係ない話だから)」と言うことができます。また、関係のない人が話し合いに首を突っ込んできた場合は、「This doesn’t concern you!(あなたには関係ない!)」と表現できます。
✔基本的にシチュエーションやモノではなく、人の関係性に対して使われる。
✔「none of one's concern」を「none of one's business」と表現することもできる。
<例文>
I’m afraid that’s none of my concern.
(申し訳ないけど、私には関係ないことだわ。)
Stop butting into other people’s business Billy! This doesn’t concern you!
(他人のことに首を突っ込まないでよビリー!あなたには関係ないでしょ!)
Whether John and Mary get married or not is none of my business.
(ジョンとメリーが結婚するかどうか、私には関係ないことよ。)
--------------------------------------------------
4) It matters / It doesn’t matter
→「~に関係ある / ~は関係ない・構わない」
--------------------------------------------------
日本語の「関係ある」は「問題がある」といった意味合いも含まれることから、英語では「It matters/It doesn't matter(問題がある・ない)」のようにmatter(問題)を使って「関係ある・ない」を表現することもできます。また「構わない」という場合に「doesn’t matter」もよく使われる表現です。
<例文>
〜会話例1〜
A: What do you want to eat for lunch?
(お昼何食べたい?)
B: It doesn’t matter to me.
(なんでもええで〜!)
It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, everyone over 18 has the right to vote.
(お金持ちでも貧乏でも関係ない。18歳以上には選挙権がある。)
It doesn’t matter if you’re a safe driver, your mother still worries.
(あなたが安全な運転をすることには関係なく、お母さんはいつも心配なの。)
Doesn’t matter what your friends are telling you…… It just matters that I’m in love with you.
(友達が言っていることは関係ない・・・関係あるのは、私があなたを愛していることだけ)

Interview with A Founder: Conor McLaughlin (Co-founder of 99.co)
By David Wu (AppWorks Associate)
Conor McLaughlin was previously the Co-founder and CTO of 99.co, the real estate marketplace in Singapore and Indonesia. He spent six and a half years at the startup, whose backers include Sequoia Capital, 500 Startups, and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, helping to grow it into a $100 million company. As a member of AppWorks Accelerator #21, he is currently working on his next big project, a yet-to-be-named language learning startup.
【What advice do you have for first-time founders?】
First, you need to decide: do I want to run a sprint or a marathon? For a sprint, you may be open to acquisition from the beginning, delay non-startup aspects of your life, give yourself two years where you drop everything to test an idea, choose to raise more money earlier on and thus be more diluted, or do anything else that implies a shorter time horizon. Typically 1-5 years - this can lead to a major boon in a short period of time if executed well. If you decide you are in the sprinting business, you will most likely be pushed toward binary outcomes because of how many investors and employees you have on your cap table. As a first-time founder, you need to be clear with yourself on what you are willing to put on the line. As Reid Hoffman says, it’s like jumping off a cliff and building a plane on the way down… hopefully you build a plane in time.
If you are running a marathon, you are deciding that your competitive advantage is consistency over intensity. You are in this for 10, 15 years. With this time horizon, you will realize you need ways to metabolize stress and maintain emotional, spiritual, and mental health. You need to maintain relationships with friends, family, and romantic partners. When you are looking at this 10 year period, you realize the people around you can only put up with so much. Unfortunately, while work is something people can generally bounce back from, there are many things in life where you cannot - an example is your relationship with your partner. If you’re going to run a marathon, you need to be clear with yourself about what time you have for other aspects of your life and what time you have for your company. Eventually you need to learn what the right speed is where you can run as long as possible. It’s amazing how often it is that those people that keep going, assuming you have chosen the right problem to solve, eventually find daylight. Part of that is just lasting long enough.
Second, you need to revisit and continually ask yourself: should I still be running a sprint or a marathon? Circumstances change. Maybe you sprinted for the first two years to secure interesting results and funding; now it's time to transition to a marathon and clean up the life debt a bit. Or inversely, maybe you're finally leaving the trough of sorrow and it's time to sprint for a bit. Most founders will be in a long distance race with periodic sprinting. From my observation, founders most often stop because of two reasons: They either A) run out of money or B) run out of energy. There’s plenty of advice out there for scenario A (hint: don’t). But in my experience, scenario B is far more pernicious and dangerous to would-be successful founders. If you are in a marathon but fail to pace yourself and run it like one long sprint, you are unlikely to make it to the end.
Much founder advice speaks to this: Don’t let your startup make you fat. Exercise 5-10% of the time. Pick up a hobby outside of your startup. Go home for holidays. All of it leads back to one thing: You need to take care of yourself. Because injury will be far worse for your progress than being a little slower. “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast”, as the US Navy Seals say. This is surprisingly difficult advice for intrinsically motivated founders to follow, because in the event of failure, it makes them vulnerable to the thought, “Well, you didn’t work hard enough.” But for those that already have the hustle, your job is to avoid the moment of epiphany where you look in the mirror and think, “This isn’t worth it.”
All founders will have to sacrifice some things. The point is to not sacrifice everything. It will make you more resilient. Not less. It will give you the space to see situations more objectively and make better decisions. And most importantly, it will let you love what you do because it will remind you that the work isn’t just in service of yourself, it’s in the service of others. I do not think you can judge hard work over a day, or even a year, but I do think you can judge hard work over 5-10 years. Hard work is not just about the next 1-2 months. There will be times when you need to run as fast as possible, but if that is happening all the time you are probably not being smart about the situation. So don’t hurt yourself, be consistent, keep disciplined, and keep going.
Lastly, focus on your metaskills. Public speaking, reading, writing - skills applied in every aspect of your life. Generally what they reflect is learning how to think better. As a founder you need to think about - how can I think more clearly, be more creative, rigorous, analytical? As Warren Buffett and others have said: I have never seen a successful person that did not read as often as they could. Actual books and long form scare a lot of people. That’s your competitive advantage. Read blog posts from smart people, follow smart people on Twitter, listen to podcasts. Always be focused on how you can develop yourself to think better. Fostering the habit of improving your thinking will foster discipline in yourself. And discipline will let you turn that rigorous thinking into action.
【I imagine running the “race” has been especially tough this year. How have you gotten through 2020?】
I have leaned on routine and community. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to foster discipline in myself. I make my bed every morning, meditate every morning, make sure that I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. There’s so much uncertainty in both the world and the entrepreneurial space. Keeping certain things consistent gives me a spine to my life that I can fall back on. If I’m not feeling well, my discipline takes over and I’ll go to the gym. That helps me relieve stress - falling back to routine and having some mainstays of consistency and structure.
And community - it’s been the big mental health zeitgeist of this year. Everyone is recognizing that without the people around us, our mental health diminishes. Joining AppWorks was very intentional so I could surround myself with like-minded people who could question me, hold me accountable, and inspire me. And also just forming personal connections where I felt that I was still taking care of my mental health by connecting with others. Being a founder is an incredibly lonely journey. In the early days, there’s not a lot of people around. Later, when you do hire lots of people, you need to be the boss, the leader - for certain things, you can’t tell the employees everything, and even if you do, there will always be a bit of distance. You need people to relate to - people want to be seen for who they are, and appreciated for what they give. When you are a founder, sometimes it’s hard to feel that you are seen. So I intentionally put myself in situations where I can be inspired, be held accountable, and more importantly connect with others, and feel that I’m not alone. And that me and my co-founders are part of a communal journey with those around us.
【When you talk about how to run the race, I get the sense that you’re drawing from previous experiences and, perhaps, mistakes. What are the mistakes you’ve made in your founder journey and the takeaways?】
I think you could take a calendar, point to a random week, and we could list out all the mistakes from that week (laughs). I do subscribe to Steve Jobs’ philosophy: mistakes will happen, but mistakes happening means we are making decisions. Not making decisions is perhaps the biggest mistake. It’s often the reason for frustration, loss of speed, loss of momentum - so many of the issues you encounter in startups. Not making enough mistakes is probably the #1 mistake that I’ve made.
Second, going back to my advice to first-time founders, is not understanding what game I’m playing. Not understanding that all the money in the world is not going to be worth it if your spouse or partner decides to leave you because you have relegated them to a second-class citizen in your life. I think I forgot that at points. There is more to life than just the company.
Third, be careful about who you choose to work with. At minimum, if you’re doing a standard 8-9 hours at the office five times a week, that’s a lot of time with those people. You want to like the people that you work with - you want to know they’re high integrity, you want to respect their values, and you want to have common values. Choosing the right people that give you energy rather than take it away just makes running the marathon so much easier.

relate a to b 在 Re: [題目] 多益文法本書要領- 看板TOEIC - 批踢踢實業坊 的必吃
大大的解釋
讓我想到似乎兩種說法
(relates to / be related to)
都有聽過..
所以我就順手翻了一下牛津英漢辭典
在relate to作為"be connected with sb/sth else"時他給了三個例子:
Wealth is seldom related to happiness.
statements relating to his resignation
Does the law relate only to theft
第一個是be related to的用法
也就是題目裡的(B)
後兩個是relates to的用法
也就是題目裡的(A)
這就讓我有點疑惑了...
這樣看來難道是兩種在文法上都說得通嗎??
不過在字典中下面一點的地方
他另把related作為一個adj
解釋是 (to sb/sth):"connected or associated with sb/sth"
(例句我就不再列出了)
這樣的話當然就可以拿來解釋(B)的說法
我自己看到題目是很直覺得就選B
因為我自己對這個片語的印象就是be related to
所以就用which is related to
去掉which 之後 is 變成being而省略
這樣的方式去思考
在我過去的印象中
比較常在paper或外國朋友聊天時出現的是be related to
搜尋一下兩個用法的話
則是都可以找到不少的文章
所以實在不敢說哪個才是正確的囉~
另外我想補充一個個人淺見是
"假設"兩個用法在文法上都是成立的
那麼我會覺得be related to在語意/語感上來說
比relates to更適合用在這個地方
因為relates to是動詞用法
be related to則是以被動表形容詞用法
硬要用中文來表達語感上的差別的話
前者像是
A和B有關/A和B產生相關性
後者則像是
A和B是有關的/A和B是相關的
也就是動詞用法會比較強調連結關係的"發生"
而形容詞用法則比較強調連結關係的"存在"
不過這不是正式的文法上的意涵
只是一種語意的感覺和習慣而已...Orz
※ 引述《fleuve (:D)》之銘言:
: 我不同意說答案是(B)的講法。答案應該是(A),relating to。
: 不管relate作為及物動詞或者relating to介系詞,答案都不是(B)而是(A)。
: For those who support choice (B), I simply disagree.
: I think the answer should be (A)─"if you have any trouble RELATING TO..."
: The reasons are as follows:
: When used as a transitive verb:
: In _Collins Cobulid Dictionary_, third edition,
: the example it provides for the definition of relate
: ("If something RELATES to a particular subject, it concerns that subject")
: is "I had papers relating to the children which my wife and I had to sign."
: It is not "papers related to"─ obviously.
: When used as a preposition:
: Also, in _Cambridge International Dictionary of English_,
: it straightforwardly tells the reader:
: "Relating to means connected with." And the example it gives is used in
: the same context as the question lesha asked in the original post:
: "Anything relating to math is a complete mystery to me."
: Last, if you want to argue that (B) works in everyday life usage,
: you can try Googling it─though it is the least measure I'd use to
: persuade people, it's still a good way for checking.
: And you'll find the difference between
: "have any trouble related to the" and
: "have any trouble relating to the."
: fleuve^^
