[英語で表現してみよう]

友人に電話を掛けましょう。


どうしたの?
What’s up?
 

SIMPLE ANSWER

近所の人の飼っているネコのことで問題があるの。
I have a problem with my neighbor ‘s cat.
 
a problem with は「問題」がネコと「一緒」になっている感覚です。
 
そのネコは素晴らしい毛並みの小さくてかわいいネコなのだけれど、キッチンの窓から入ってきてわたしの飼っている小鳥を怖がらせるの。
He is a cute little cat with a beautiful coat of fur, but he comes in through the kitchen window and scares my birds.
 
a cute little cat with a beautiful coat of fur には「美しい毛並み」がネコと一緒にある感覚。comes in で「入ってくる」、その説明が through the kitchen window(キッチンの窓を通って)。
 
仕事のあとに話せる?
Can we talk after work?
 
after work は「仕事の後」。talk は「言う」ではなく「話し合う」。
 

ADVANCED ANSWER

隣の人が飼っているネコのことでちょっとした問題があるんだ。
I have a bit of a problem with my next-door neighbor’s cat.
 
a bit of は「ちょっとした」。もちろん本当に「ちょっとした」なのかは文脈によります。大事なのに「ちょっとした問題」というのは日本語にもあります。next-door は「隣りの」。next-door neighbor と大きな形容詞として働いています。
 
実際のところ、そのネコは明るいエメラルド色の目をしたきれいなネコなんだけど、よく裏庭を通って台所に入ってくるんだよ。
Actually, she’s a gorgeous cat with bright emerald eyes, but she often comes through our back garden and into the kitchen.
 
actually は「実際」。with bright emerald eyes で、with はやはり「一緒」の意識。
 
今夜仕事のあと、この件についてちょっと話に立ち寄ってくれませんか?
Could you drop by for a chat about this after work tonight?
 
drop by は「近くにポテっと落ちる」から「立ち寄る」。
 
難しい単語は使っていないのに、とても英語らしい文です。
