Thank you letterなのですが、

男性の友人からとても美しい箱に入った紅茶をフランスのお土産としてただいたのですが、 Just a note to thank you for the beautiful box in the tea! That was very delicious tea. We realy enjyoud this morning. Mom and sister were surprise to find the nice box. Mom said "I will cherish this beautiful box as jewel box for good" Oh..She is thinking the box is her own...! 美しい箱に入った紅茶をありがとう！ とても美味しい紅茶を私達は楽しくいただきました。 ママと妹はすてきな箱を見つけてビックリしていました。"ママはこの箱をいつまでも宝石箱として大切にするわ”と言ったのです。えーっ、彼女は自分の箱だと思っているなんて！ 最後のOh..She is thinking ～なんですが今一つ自信がありません。　ご教授お願い致します。

こんばんわ。 nekonekogoo再びです。 今日たまたまアメリカ人に会う機会があって、cherishについて、状況説明とともに聞いてみました。やはり、まぁ、言えないことはないけれど、ちょっと大げさかも、ということでした。cherishというのは、愛情とか、美しい思い出とか、ものよりは人、子供とか、そういうのを大切にする、という意味合いが強いのです。chuchukuさんが、どなたか外国の方ににきれいな箱のお菓子をプレゼントして「ありがとうございます。いつまでも慈しみます」といわれたら、意味は分かるけれどそうは言わないよね。。。と思いますよね。そう言う響きの言葉だと思います。 それで、どう言えばいいかというと She loved it and she said she would have it for the years to come. だそうです。 ビジネスではないので、固く考える必要もなく、早くお礼した方がいいですね。お返事遅くなりすみませんでした。

お礼

わざわざ聞いていただいたのですね。すみません。 物より人の愛情の意味合いに使われるのですね。う～ん、 ちょっと愛情があるので!?（笑）でもloveが一番無難なんですね。よく解かりました。ありがとうございました。

Just a note to thank you for the beautiful box in the tea! the tea in the beautiful box. にしないと、紅茶の中に箱が入っていることに。。。 That was very delicious tea. The tea was very delicious. の方が自然に聞こえます。 We realy enjyoud this morning. We really enjoyed the breakfast with you this morning. とか、今朝の何を楽しんだか言わないと、今朝を楽しんだことになって意味は分かるけれど少し変かもしれません。 We had a lot of fun having breakfast with you. とか。 Mom and sister were surprise to find the nice box. もし、面識があるのであれば、 Toshiko and Mieko were really delighted to find the nice gift from you. などと、名前を書いた方が自然だと思います。 surpriseが間違いではないのですが、喜んだ、と言った方がいいかな、という気がします。surpriseを使う場合は、surprisedです。 Mom said "I will cherish this beautiful box as jewel box for good" Toshiko said she really liked the box and wanted to use it for her jewelry. cherishというのは、箱ごとき（すみません）に使うのはちょっと大げさなので、liked（気に入った）でいいのではないでしょうか。宝石全体を指す言葉はjewelry です。 Oh..She is thinking the box is her own...! Can you believe, the box is hers now. She seems to think the box is hers. などではいかがでしょうか。 美しい箱なんですね！見てみたい！

補足

nokonekogooちゃん、なんか可愛いお名前ですね。 cherishなんですが、、大切にするわって言いますよね。物によって使い分けした方がよいのでしょうか？もしご覧になっていたらお教えください。前から気になっていた単語の一つです。

  • どのような意味でしょうか

    My sister-in-law says she is very allergic to cats. She lives six hours away from my Mom. My sister and I have cats and bring them with us when we visit our mom. My sister-in-law asked us if we could put the cats behind a gate or upstairs when she and my brother visit. We believe that our cats are our family members. We refuse to put our cats away just because someone wants us to. Because of this, our sister-in-law stopped visiting. Now she has a baby and this is the first grandchild in the family. She again asked if we would put the cats away while she visits so my mom can visit with her granddaughter. Again, we have refused to do this because our cats are just as important family members as her baby. We told her that she should drop off the baby with my mom, sister and me and that she can relax at the hotel while we visit. She has refused to do this, and now just doesn't visit. She tells my brother to visit whenever he wants, but that she and her baby will stay home. My mom cannot drive to their house, and now my mom has not seen her granddaughter at all. She is very upset. How do we fix this for our mom's sake, without giving up our principles? giving up our principlesとはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします
