  • This often happens when someone has a specific idea of how things should be or wants a certain outcome, and they try to manipulate or shape the situation in order to make it align with their own narrative.
  • However, this can lead to disappointment and frustration when the reality does not match their expectations.

意味を教えてください

A few months ago, I started dating a really great guy. I consider it my first “adult relationship.” I had a handful of flings in college, but either I’d be trying to force the situation to fit a narrative in my head that wasn’t really happening (i.e., the guy didn’t like me that much), or I’d be detached and uninterested enough that whoever I was seeing couldn’t hurt me if he was uninterested too (which often ended in my discovering deeper feelings and getting hurt, anyway). force the situation to fit a narrative in my headの意味を教えてください。よろしくお願いします

"narrative" は「物語、ストーリー」です。 "narrative in my head" で「（自分の）頭の中に描いたストーリー」 "force the situation to fit (into) a narrative in my head" 「状況（恋愛関係）を頭の中に描いたストーリーに無理矢理当てはめる」 文には "into" が割愛されているのでわかりにくいですね。

  • it couldn't hurt to doの意味

    英語のアニメを観ていて分からないところがありました。 //ゲーセン、UFOキャッチャーの前での友人同士の会話// A: Yeah, this little guy is an easy one to grab. B: Really? ( If it's that easy to get one, maybe if I tried it...) A: "...I could get one too." Is that what you were thinking? B: No! What are you talking about? I wasn't thinking anything! But I guess it couldn't hurt to just try this one time. /////////////////////////////////////////////// 会話最後の行の 「But I guess it couldn't hurt to just try this one time.」は、 「でも、今回だけやってみてもいいかな」のような意味になると思うのですが １）「it couldn't hurt to　～」は「～してみも良い」という意味ですか？ ２）似た表現に「It doesn't hurt to」を見つけました。同義ですか？ 　　http://www.eigo-de.net/2006/06/it_doesnt_hurt_to … よろしくお願いします。

  • It’s more that

    I’ve been a really bad friend. Last year, I was in a bad living situation. My best friend owns several properties and helped me out; he asked a long-term tenant to leave, refurbished the whole apartment, and then offered it to me at a steep discount so I could afford it. It’s literally the most beautiful, spacious place I have ever lived in. This coincided with a very intense romantic relationship I was caught up in—which, of course, broke up spectacularly when he stole my stuff and left the country. I realize now that I was really thoughtless. My friend did a lot of the renovations himself and spent thousands of dollars on necessary (but much-appreciated) upgrades. At the time, I was so focused on my relationship that I didn’t even think about pitching in. And now, looking back, I didn’t show up once to clean or paint, or even just bring dinner and say thank you. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried to be a good tenant and show my gratitude. He’s never said anything about it, and I don’t think he holds it against me. It’s more that I realized I really dropped the ball. It’s more thatはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

    I was supposed to be getting married this weekend, but 10 days ago my fiancée called it off saying, “It wasn’t right.” This was a huge blow, of course, and I’m still struggling with it. My problem is that once it was announced I was inundated with messages from people asking about their gifts. I get that they want their gifts back, and I’m going to return everything. But I really need some space here just for a few days until I can get to a better place. Is it rude to put out a message on social media just saying that? just saying that?の意味と文法的解説をよろしくお願いします
