[英語で表現してみよう]

使用表現例

職歴 : wory history

SIMPLE ANSWER

彼女はかわいいの。また、とても親切で社交的だから、同僚の間ではすごく人気があるんだよ。
She is pretty. She is also very popular among her colleagues since she is really kind and sociable.
 
since は「理由」を表す接続詞。since のイメージは「起点からの→」。among は「~の間で」。

She has a solid work history and is very smart.
 
彼女のような人を見つけるのは大変だよ。彼女に会ったら、あなたは自分がどれほど幸運なのかに気がつくはずよ!
It’s hard to find someone like her. When you see her, you’ll realize how lucky you are!
 

ADVANCED ANSWER

そうだねぇ、彼は世界で一番ハンサムな男というわけじゃないけど、カリスマ的な性格をしているから仕事仲間の間ですごく人気があるんだよ。それってすごく重要じゃない?
Well, he’s not the most handsome guy in the world, but he’s extremely popular with his workmates due to his charismatic personality. That’s most important, right?
 
due to (~のために・~のせいで)は原因を表す少しカタい感触の表現。
 
彼はとても高い知性を持っているし、これまで立派なキャリアを積み上げているよ。
He’s super intelligent and has had an impressive career up to now.
 
彼みたいな男はなかなかいないから、いい相手となるだろうね。
Guys like him are tough to find, so he would be a great catch!
