「Hurt」を口にしよう
=================================
英語を話す際に「Hurt」という単語を口にしますか?「傷つける」や「痛む」と単語の意味だけは理解しているけど、会話ではほとんど口にしない・・・なんて方も多いのでは?今回のコラムでは、ネイティブもよく口にする「Hurt」を使った代表的な言い回しを4つご紹介します。簡単に使える表現ばかりなので、ぜひこの機会にマスターして表現の幅を広げましょう!
--------------------------------------------------
1) It doesn't hurt to _____
→「〜しても損はない / 〜してみたら」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現を直訳すると「〜をしても痛くない」ですが、ニュアンス的には「〜しても問題ない、損はない」と言う意味としてよく使われます。人に何かを勧める時や提案する時の「〜してみたら?」の意味としても用いることもあります。基本的に何かをすることによってプラスの結果に繋がるニュアンスが含まれます。
例えば、アニメを見て日本語を勉強しようか迷っている外国人の友達に対し、「It doesn’t hurt to watch anime. Actually I think it’s a great way to study Japanese.(アニメを見ても損はないよ。実際、とても良い勉強法だと思うし。)」という具合に使うことができます。
✔「It doesn’t hurt to ask」や「It never hurts to ask」で「聞くだけ聞いてみたら」を意味する。
✔「It won’t hurt」や「It can’t hurt」と表現してもOK。
<例文>
I know you like your English teacher but it doesn't hurt to take lessons from other teachers.
(今の英語の先生を気に入っているのは分かるけど、他の先生のレッスンを受けてみるのも悪くないんじゃないかな。)
I know that he's really busy with work but it never hurts to ask. He might help you out.
(彼は仕事でとても忙しいけど、聞くだけ聞いてみたら?手伝ってくれるかもよ。)
It won't hurt to try. That's the only way you'll find out.
(とりあえず、やってみたら?やっとみないと分かんないし。)
--------------------------------------------------
2) Hurt someone's feelings
→「人の気持ちを傷つける」
--------------------------------------------------
嘘をついたり、ひどいことを言ったり、裏切ったりして相手の気持ちを傷つけることを「Hurt someone’s feelings」と言います。Hurtは身体的、そして精神的な痛みの両方に対して使うことができ、一般的に人を悲しませる意味合いが込められています。
✔「私は〜に傷ついた」は「I was hurt by _____.」と表現する。
<例文>
Why did you lie to her? You really hurt her feelings.
(なんで彼女に嘘ついたの?彼女をすごく傷つけてるよ。)
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean it.
(もし、あなたを傷つけたんだったら、ごめん。そういうつもりじゃなかったんだ。)
I can't believe you made fun of me in front of everyone. I was hurt by that.
(みんなの前で私のことを馬鹿にするなんて信じられない。傷ついたよ。)
--------------------------------------------------
3) Hurt one's chance to/of _____
→「~するチャンスを駄目にする」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現を直訳すると「チャンスにダメージを与える」ですが、一般的に「チャンスをダメにする」や「好機を妨げる」などの意味としてよく使います。例えば、プロ野球のドラフトに選ばれるくらい才能がある高校球児がスキャンダルに巻き込まれた際、「That incident is going to hurt his chances of getting drafted.(あの事件のせいで、彼のドラフト選抜のチャンスはダメになるだろう)」という具合に使われます。
✔「イメージダウン・イメージを悪くする」は「Hurt one’s image」、「評判を傷つける」は「Hurt one’s reputation」と表現する。
<例文>
You failed one of your classes? That's going to hurt your chances to study abroad.
(単位落としたの?海外留学のチャンスをダメにするよ。)
Barry Bonds is a great baseball player but his use of steroids hurts his chances of getting into the Hall of Fame.
(バリー・ボンズは偉大な野球選手だが、彼のステロイド使用が殿堂入りの可能性を損なうだろう。)
That actor was caught drinking and driving. That's going to hurt his reputation.
(あの俳優は飲酒運転で捕まったから、評判が悪くなるね。)
--------------------------------------------------
4) (That) hurts
→「(それは)応える / きつい / 辛い」
--------------------------------------------------
精神的なダメージを受けて心が痛んだり、何か問題が発生して困難な状況に置かれた状況などの“辛い”気持ちを表現する際にもよくHurtを用います。例えば、人材不足に悩まされて困っているうえに、有能な部下が退職届を出してきたと嘆いている友人に対して、「That hurts(それは辛いね。)」と言うことができます。
<例文>
The fine for the speeding ticket hurts. I'm all out of money.
(スピード違反の罰金痛いな〜。もうお金が全然ないよ。)
The truth hurts doesn't it?
(真実って辛いものだよね?)
You totaled your car? That's got to hurt. How are you going to get to work?
(事故って車が全壊したの?それは辛いね~。どうやって仕事に行くの?)

It's hard to believe that my firstborn will be sitting for her PSLE papers in a couple of months' time. In fact, her oral exams begin this week. Yup, time flies!
I wish I had more one-on-one time to spend on revision with her but given how the baby keeps me busy all the time, it is really tough. Besides, some of the P6 concepts, especially Science, are too hard for me to comprehend or teach already. That means the girl has learnt to become more independent in her studies, which might not be a bad thing, right?
While we are still on the tuition-free route, we take the opportunity to learn whenever we can and for now, e-learning platforms which enable us to learn while staying home is something we would advocate. We have heard good reviews about Geniebook, an online suite of personalised learning innovations powered by Artificial Intelligence, and were excited to try out their 2-weeks GenieClass trial.
The girl attended some of the live online classes - GenieClass, including English, Math and Science, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Besides helping to recap some of the topics she has learnt in school, she also participated in quizzes and class chats which she found to be interesting and helpful.
We got to see and have a feel of how the teachers conducted these online classes and they were generally engaging and enthusiastic, which made the lessons fun and worth looking forward to.
In addition to GenieClass, Geniebook subscribers will soon get to use GenieAsk, which is a real-time teacher chat and a convenient way for students to ask questions they may have from school. Then there is the product they’re most famous for, their GenieSmart. These are AI personalised worksheets which draw from a library of over 150,000 questions aligned to MOE’s syllabus to identify academic strengths and weaknesses. And what I love as a parent most, you’ll have access to real-time progress reports of how your child is doing!
While PSLE might be a major milestone for her, instead of being stressed out by exams, I earnestly hope she will always find joy in learning. We've got this, dear Angel!

10 years ago, when I enrolled in the Teachers Training Institute in Malaysia, many doubted that I would be able to complete my studies, but I proved them wrong❌
The pandemic saw teachers having to move to online classes, and this is a huge challenge for teachers who have poor IT knowledge. Despite this, us teachers took on the responsibility of having to learn and adapt with the times, instead of throwing in the towel. If we gave up just because we had to learn something we weren't familiar with, how could we teach our students to do otherwise❓
Never let difficulties stop you from learning. It's never too late to pick up new skills to keep improving and eventually find the right career, if you haven't found it yet.
FutureLearn and JobStreet have launched a number of free courses to help you fulfil your interests and ambitions, so it's time to pick up new skills and keep learning. I'm signing up for the English Language course to improve my language skills so I can communicate with my students better and help to build a brighter future for them.
