「念のため」を英語で言うとき用のメモ

結論: just in case

 

ビジネスシーンでアジア人が絶対に使う表現だと思う。みんな言う。特に just in case と maybe を多用する人が相当するイメージ。ただ、使いやすい道具は丁寧に使えるようにしたいな、と思ったので、実際に使われている例を以下に列挙するだけのメモ。

 

  • Anyway, just in case Anderson’s word salad was not sufficiently persuasive, she also wore a blanket emblazoned with writing that included the words “free speech”, “gagged” and “Cromwell”.
  • She listens to the Tony-nominated script, so as not to miss a cue, and just in case something unexpected happens.
  • And just in case pupils think the climb-down signals a wider uniform relaxation, they will be disappointed.
  • Sarah is the movie’s Marilyn Monroe figure — and again, just in case you weren’t aware, she replays a famous skinny-dipping scene from the never-finished 1962 Monroe vehicle “Something’s Got to Give.”
  • Criminals also pay attention to these Facebook pages just in case they are listed for elimination.
