PRACTICAL CHALLENGE! ~実践チャレンジ~

英語で下記の内容を表現してみよう。必ず声に出して練習しよう。

自分が主人公になったつもりで表現しましょう。

友人にカフェに呼び出されたあなた。友人はどうやら夫婦でまた口論になったようです。「妻に耐えられないことがある」と言う友人に仲直りを促してください。
例えば「また夫婦喧嘩をしたようね。でも彼女だけが悪いのかな。そんなことはないと思うよ。喧嘩両成敗って言うしね。あなたたちはもっとお互いの意見を尊重することを学ぶべきだと思う。帰って話し合って。彼女はあなたのことを愛しているし、仲直りできるわよ」くらいでしょうか。

[英語で表現してみよう]

使用表現例
喧嘩両成敗 : It takes two to tango.
~と仲直りする : make up with …

SIMPLE ANSWER

また夫婦喧嘩をしたようね。でも彼女だけが悪いのかな。そんなことはないと思うよ。喧嘩両成敗って言うしね。
It sounds like you argued with your wife again. But look. Is she the only one to blame? I doubt it. It takes two to tango.
 
blame は「~のせいにする・~の責任だと思う」。only one(唯一の人)を to blame が説明しています。I doubt it. の doubt は「そうではない」という心の動き。
 
あなたたちはもっとお互いの意見を尊重することを学ぶべきだと思う。
I think both of you should learn to respect each other’s opinions.
 
帰って話し合ったら。彼女はあなたのことを愛しているし、仲直りできるわよ。
Go talk to her. I know she loves you, and you can make up with her.
 
make up with は「~と仲直りする」。
 

ADVANCED ANSWER

おいおい。本気で言ってるんじゃないよね。あらかた、君たち両方とも短気を起こして大きな口論になったんだろうね。
Come on. I doubt very much that you really mean that. I guess you both lost your temper and ended up having a big argument.
 
Come on. は相手をたしなめる言葉。argument は argue の名詞形(議論・口論)
 
いいかい。君が冷静になるまでここにいて、それから彼と仲直りするように努力するとしてみようか。
Look. Suppose you stay here until you’ve cooled down, and then try to make up with him.
 
suppose … は「~としてみよう」と、仮定の話を持ち出すフレーズ。
 
絶対彼は君をさらに尊重してくれると思うよ。最初の歩み寄りをしてくれたってことでね。
I’m sure he’ll respect you even more for taking the first step.
