スムーズな会話に欠かせない「Get」の基本用法
=================================
中学で教わった基本動詞の一つであるGet。「~を手に入れる」の意味で覚えている人も多いと思いますが、ネイティブの日常会話では実に様々な意味で非常によく使われる単語の一つです。今回は、知ってれば必ず日常会話で役立つ代表的なGetの用法をご紹介します!
--------------------------------------------------
1) 「〜もらう・受け取る」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
get の一つ目の基本イメージは、色々な物を手に入れることです。人から何かをもらったり、受け取ったりする時に使われ、receiveのより口語的な言い方として使われます。ちなみに、良いものだけでなく、get a speeding ticket(スピード違反で切符を切られる)のようによくないものを受け取るときにも使われます。
・get a present(プレゼントをもらう)
・get a message(メッセージ受け取る)
・get advice(アドバイスをもらう)
<例文>
I got a new laptop for my birthday.
(誕生日に新しいパソコンをもらいました)
I got a text from Mike and he said he's running 10 minutes late.
(マイクからショートメッセージがあって、10分遅れるって)
Who do you usually get advice from?
(普段は誰からアドバイスをもらっているんですか?)
I got a speeding ticket this morning.
(今朝、スピード違反で切符を切られてしまいました)
また、人から何かをもらうだけでなく、自分で努力した結果何かを手に入れるときにも使われます。例えば、「仕事に就く・仕事が決まる」は get a job、「良い成績を取る」は get good grades、「昇進する」は get a promotionと表します。その他、getには「お金を得る」の意味合いもあり、「彼って月いくら稼いでいるの?」は「How much does he get a month?」のように表現します。
<例文>
It took me a couple of months but I finally got a job.
(数ヶ月間かかりましたが、やっと仕事が決まりました)
I got good grades when I was in high school.
(私は高校生のとき、成績がよかったです)
I heard you got a promotion. Congrats!
(昇進したんだって?おめでとう!)
It's an easy job. I get 20 bucks an hour just for watching the dogs.
(すごい楽な仕事だよ。犬の面倒を見るだけで時給20ドルもらえるんだ)
--------------------------------------------------
2) 「~を買う」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
getは「〜を買う」の意味としても使われます。buy のより口語的な言い回しとして使われ、お金を払って何かを手に入れるニュアンスがあります。また、レストランでは「注文する」の意味としても使われ、友達に「何を注文するの?」と聞く場合は「What are you going to get?」と言います。さらに、getは「おごる」や「御馳走する」の意味で使うこともでき、「I'll get it.」の一言だけで「私がおごるよ」を意味します。
<例文>
I really like your scarf. Where did you get it?
(そのマフラーいいね。どこで買ったの?)
You already got the iPhone 12? Did you pre-order it?
(もうiPhone12を手に入れたの?予約したの?)
I'm thinking about getting the B.L.T sandwich. What are you going to get?
(私はBLTサンドイッチにしようかな。あなたは何を注文するの?)
Don't worry. I'll get it today.
(心配しないで。今日は僕がおごるよ)
--------------------------------------------------
3) 「〜を取りに行く」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
何かを取りに行ったり、忘れ物を取りに戻ったりなど、物を取りに行って戻ってくるときに get が使われます。日常会話では、go and get ____ のように表すことが多く、例えば「僕が取り行くよ」は「I'll get it.」または「I'll go and get it.」両方のパターンで表すことができます。その他、「〜を迎えに行く」の意味としても使われ、友達に「迎えに来てくれる?」と聞く場合は「Can you get me?」または「Can you come and get me?」、「迎えに行くよ」は 「I'll get you.」もしくは「I'll go and get you.」と言います。
✔「迎えに行く」はgo and get、「迎えに来る」はcome and getで覚えましょう。
<例文>
I'll get it for you. What do you want to drink?
(僕が取りに行くよ?何飲みたい?)
I'm going to go and get Hiro from the train station.
(駅にヒロを迎えに行きます)
Oh no. I forgot my mask. I need to go back to the car and get it.
(ヤバイ、マスクを忘れちゃった。車に取りに戻らないと)
--------------------------------------------------
4) 「〜を理解する」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
相手の言いたいことが分かったり、意図が理解できたときに英語ではよく「I get it.」と言います。ここでは相手のアイディアを「手に入れる」、要するに「理解する」ことを意味します。この表現は、「I don't get it.」のように否定形で使われることが多く、相手の言いたいことが理解できなかったり、冗談が分からない時に使われます。
<例文>
I think I'm starting to get it. Let me practice a little more.
(なんとなく分かってきた気がします。もうちょっと練習します)
Why is that funny? I don't get it.
(何がそんなに面白いの?私には理解できない)
Do you get what he's saying? It makes no sense to me.
(彼が言っていることわかる?私には全然意味が分かりません)
--------------------------------------------------
5) 「〜に到着する」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
get は「着く」や「到着する」も意味し、日常会話では arriveの代わりによく使われます。例えば、待ち合わせに遅れてきた友達が「Sorry I'm late. Have you been waiting long?(遅れちゃってごめんね。だいぶ待った?)」と言った時は、「No, I just got here too.(ううん、僕も今着いたところだよ)」と言う具合に返事をするといいでしょう。
<例文>
There's so much traffic. What time do you think we'll get there?
(すごい渋滞だね。何時ぐらいに到着すると思う?)
Have a safe flight! Message me when you get to Okinawa.
(気をつけて行ってきて。沖縄に着いたらメッセージ送ってね)
I got home, took a shower and went straight to bed.
(家に帰ってシャワーを浴びてその後すぐに寝ました)
--------------------------------------------------
6) 「〜になる(状態が変化する)」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
getは状態の変化を表す時にも使われ、「〜になる」を意味します。状態の変化を表す時は一般的に getting ____ の形式が使われ、例えば、「疲れてきた」は 「I'm getting tired.」、「お腹が空いてきた」は「I'm getting hungry.」、「寒くなってきた」は「It's getting cold.」のように getting の後には形容詞がフォローします。
その他、「〜しやすい」をget ____ easilyと表現することができ、例えば、「私が暑がりです」は「I get hot easily.」、「彼は飽きっぽい」は「He gets bored easily.」、「彼女は嫉妬深い」は「She gets jealous easily.」のように表現します。
<例文>
I'm getting hungry. Do you want to grab dinner soon?
(お腹空いてきたな。そろそろ夕食に行かない?)
It's getting chilly these days. It's starting to feel like autumn.
(最近、肌寒くなってきました。秋めいてきましたね)
I carry around a blanket with me because I get cold easily.
(私は寒がりなのでいつも毛布を持ち歩いています)
--------------------------------------------------
7) 「病気になる」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
風邪を引いたり、インフルエンザにかかったり、病気になる時にもgetが使われます。例えば、「風邪を引いた」は「I got a cold.」、「インフルエンザにかかった」は「I got the flu.」、「彼は病気になった」は「He got sick.」と言います。ちなみに、「頭痛がする」は「I got a headache.」、「熱がある」は 「I got a fever.」、「喉が痛い」は「I got a sore throat.」のように表します。
<例文>
It sounds like you got the flu. Drink a lot of water and rest up.
(インフルエンザにかかったみたいだね。たくさん水分を取ってゆっくり休むんだよ)
My cat got sick and I had to take him to the vet yesterday.
(私の猫が病気になって、昨日動物病院に連れて行かないといけませんでした)
I think I got a cold. I got a fever and a sore throat.
(風邪を引いたと思います。熱があり、喉も痛いです)
--------------------------------------------------
8) 「どうにかして~させる」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
この表現は、人に何かをしてもらう時、または人に何かをさせる時の両方で使われますが、相手を説得したり騙したりするなど「どうにかして」何かをさせるニュアンスが含まれます。例えば、薬を飲みたくない子供を説得して飲ませる場合は「I got my child to take the medicine.(子供に何とかして薬を飲ませました)」と表します。
<例文>
I finally got my dad to stop smoking cigarettes.
(なんとかしてやっとお父さんにタバコをやめさせました)
I can't get my son to do his homework. What do you think I should do?
(何をしても息子が宿題をやりません。どうしたらいいと思いますか?)
My cat pees all over the house. How can I get her to pee in her litter box?
(私の猫は家中におしっこをします。どうしたら猫のトイレでおしっこをしてくれると思いますか?)
--------------------------------------------------
9) 「〜する機会を得る」を表すgetの使い方
--------------------------------------------------
get to do somethingは「〜する機会を得られる」を意味し、have the opportunity toのより口語的な言い方として使われます。例えば、「国際交流パーティーでいろいろな人たちとお話しすることができました」と言いたい場合は「I got to talk with a lot people at the international exchange party.」のように表現し、got to の後には動詞が続きます。ここでは、I got an/the opportunity to ____ と表現することもできますが、日常会話ではan/the opportunityを省くことがよくあります。
<例文>
I got to travel all over the world in my twenties.
(私は20代の時に世界中を旅行することができました)
Did you get to see the autumn leaves when you were in Japan?
(日本滞在中に紅葉を見ることはできましたか?)
At the spring training camp, I got to meet some of the Dodgers' players.
(スプリングトレーニングで何人かのドジャース選手に会えました)
--------------------------------------------------
10) Get + 前置詞の組み合わせ
--------------------------------------------------
getはいろいろな前置詞と組み合わせて使うことができます。例えば、「電車に乗ろう」は「Let's get on the train.」、「バスを降りよう」は「Let's get off the bus.」、「プールに入ろう」は「Let's get in the pool.」、「ここから出よう」は「Let's get out of here.」と言う具合に表現します。getと前置詞を組み合わせて使う場合は「動いている」イメージになります。
<例文>
Get on bus number 10 and it'll take you to downtown.
(10番バスに乗れば繁華街まで行きます)
This place is way too crowded. Let's get out of here.
(ここは混み過ぎだ。出ましょう)
Which stop are we getting off on? Is it the next one?
(どの駅で降りるの?次の駅?)

"Tough times don't last, tough people do."
Skechers Friendship Walk 2021 starts today! It may be a virtual event but it is still a good chance for us to have some family time, exercise safely and most importantly teach the kids to be resilient and get back up after a fall.
While we need to wear our masks and stay in pairs when we go for our outdoor walks these days, we are still determined to clock 50k steps, which is equivalent to 38km, in the next couple of weeks! Do you think we can do it? I sure hope so. Fresh air will definitely do me some good but we intend to stay away from crowds and stick to nature reserves for our walks.
Swipe to see more snaps of our new shoes from @skecherssg, we totally love the comfort and style. You can register for the walk before 21 Aug (link in their bio) and join us too. Have a good week ahead, people!

Happiness is…freshly picked strawberries from our neighbours garden! 🥰
When we first made a decision to move, we were so worried and sad to be leaving our old neighbourhood. In these modern days, it’s not easy to find good neighbours let alone to establish a good relationship with your neighbours in a foreign country.
We considered ourselves blessed to be surrounded by good neighbours especially John and Jill, the elderly couple who were our former next door neighbours. They are not just neighbours but more like a family to us and grandparents to the kids. In fact, they were more saddened than us when they found out that we are moving as they love the kids so much - bless them! 🥲
All praise is due to Allah The Almighty as He has a far greater plan for our family. Our new neighbours gave us a very warm welcome to the new neighbourhood. Not just one or two of them but we are beyond blessed to be surrounded by so many friendly and caring neighbours. One of the families is also Muslim. And two of of our neighbours’ sons were The Omar Mukhtar’s schoolmates from KES too.
They all have been very helpful to us from before we even moved in. They’ve been sending us food since they knew that we are currently living without a kitchen especially the Muslim family that have been regularly sent their home cooked food for us - Alhamdulillah ♥️
And yesterday, one of our neighbours shared strawberries from their garden with the kids. Can’t wait for our plums and apples to ripen from our cottage garden so we can share them with our new lovely neighbours…
Blessed,
Mrs Mom

So after years of loving doggies we finally got around to adopting a puppy! We originally really wanted either a standard schnauzer or a labrador retriever but as we looked at doggies more we realized just how many doggies are abandoned and left in the wild and decided that we should definitely adopt instead!
Meet Rocky! A 5 week old mixed puppy rescued by HKPAWS in Hong Kong. Rocky was found in the wild with his siblings when he was just 3 days old! Luckily it was towards the end of the Summer in September and cooler out otherwise the pups might not have made it as their eyes and ears weren't open yet and they were rather helpless.
After a few weeks of being rescued Rocky and his siblings grew into adorable and strong little pups and we loved him right when we saw him! While we originally went to meet Rocky's brother, the Lady who ran the Shelter immediately recommended Hunter ( Rocky's original name) to us after finding out that we were athletes and would love a high energy dog!
As a rescue pup Rocky took a while to learn to trust us, but we made sure he was always comfortable and gave him lots of love and attention. He definitely opened up to us over the next few weeks and we began our adventures together!
Here is the first day where it all begins!
Vigilante Fitness Couple Adopts a Puppy. Rocky ( named after Rocky Balboa), from abandoned pup to future champion!

We filmed this before the fourth wave broke out in Hong Kong.
Making content outdoors, in town, just anywhere away from our sofa of course more interesting and more fun for you to watch.
We do take every precaution to stay safe when we're out, wearing masks, keeping our hands clean, just about everything you can think of.
We had no idea photography could be so much fun.
As you can see in the video both of us had a great time mucking about.
Whether it's with your girlfriend or boyfriend, husband or wife, it's quite a good way to spend an afternoon together.
Taking photos of your children is of course a right laugh!!!
And what with Christmas be without a load of crazy pics of the family❤️
Please wrap up warm these next few days, it's a bit nippy?
Merry Christmas?

Again, after 4 years, we revisit Dr Razak's clinic to get Ilon's circumcision done. Still not used to seeing our baby getting snipped, we try our best not to cry. Poor fella.
But be rest assured that he was ok. Dr Razak had used a local anaesthesia and the crying was only because in order for the procedure to be done, Ilon’s leg was strapped down so there’s less movement and that was uncomfortable for Ilon who normally prefers lying down on his tummy instead.
Half an hour later, there was some swelling but 3 hours later, it went down.
I just had to ensure I placed the cream (which is actually eye ointment) over his penis over the next couple of days. As predicated by the Dr, the wound healed beautifully. Praise God. No fever, no swelling. No pus. Dr Razak is one the best children surgeon in the country.
To those not familiar, “sunat Khitan” or circumcision is a recommended practice for male Muslims. Those days, the sunat happens when the boy is 6-9 years old and this is so the penis is easier to clean when a bit of the foreskin is removed.
Research shows it’s less traumatic when the circumcision is done from 0-3months old.
Celebrated the win (for all) at Minori Japanese Restaurant at The Royale Chulan Damansara Hotel. Thank you Jess for the birthday treat! The family and I so grateful for the kind gift. xoxo

想跟大家分享一下culture shock
也讓大家體驗一下美式英語和英式英語的大不同
大家不要以為”還好麻 不會差很多阿 只有幾個字不一樣罷了”
以我的切身之痛而言 差之毫里失之千里阿!
故事內容是這樣:我的英國籍老闆叫我打電話去催收帳款
好不容易對方說我可以去請款了 問我什麼時候會去請款
我問英國老闆:She asks you when you will pick up the money?
英國老闆說:In a couple days.
我隨即用中文跟對方說:幾天以後再去拿
隨後草草結束通話
過了一陣子後 英國老闆跟我說 等一下記的要去請款喔!
我說 你不是說幾天以後再去拿嗎?
英國老闆說:有嗎?我說"in a couple days"阿?!
我說:對阿"in a couple days "跟"in a few days" 意思一樣阿?!
英國老闆頓了一下 隨即開罵起來:
"誰跟你說"in a couple days" 就是"in a few days"?這兩個意思不一樣阿
"in a couple days "的意思是"from this moment to the next two days"
隨即又開始開罵起來
我說:可是教科書都寫"in a couple days"="in a few days" 都是幾天的意思阿?!
所謂幾天就是3.4天 4.5天都有可能阿?!
老闆說:你看看 教科書又寫錯了 隨即又開始歲歲唸...
說請款已經夠煩了還被你搞烏龍@#% ....
後來我去查字典 真的是這樣阿! 還好我的字典夠中立
是我太照本宣科了嗎?
