Meaning of I COULDN'T CARE LESS and I COULD CARE LESS - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So, I'm gonna teach you two phrases today.

というわけで、 今日は2つのフレーズを教えます。

The first is I couldn't care less,

1 つ目は I could't care less

which means that you don't care about something,

です。これは、何かを気にしないという意味で

and this is the proper way to say it.

、これが適切な言い方です。

But, because English is weird,

しかし、英語は変なので、

we also say I could care less.

あまり気にしないとも言います。

So, this is kind of a strange situation here.

ですから、これは ここでの一種の奇妙な状況です。

This is the proper way to say it.

これが正しい言い方です。

So, maybe you have a friend who says

だから、あなたの友人が

that they're going to sell their car,

自分の車を売るつもりだと

and maybe you just rudely say to them,

"You know what, I couldn't care less

言っているかもしれ

"if you sell your car or not.

ません.

"I don't care if you keep your car,

「あなたがあなたの車

"I don't care if you sell your car.

を持っていても私は気にしません」「あなたがあなたの車を売っても私は気にしません。

"I couldn't care less."

「私はそれほど気にすることができませんでした。」

But, you could also, informally, in spoken English,

しかし、 カジュアルに、口語英語で

you could say, "Man, I could care less

、「あなたが車を売ってくれれば、私はあまり気にしません」と言うことができ

"if you sell your car."

ます。

So, again, this is the proper way to say it,

and it is kind of a mean thing to say to someone

because it means that you don't care,

気にしないことを意味するので、誰かに言うことを意味しますが

but you could say, "I couldn't care less,"

、「I could't care less」

and then informally, you could say, "I could care less."

と言うことができ、その後、非公式 に「I could't care less.」と言う

Sometimes in English we do that,

ことができます。 つまり, 何かを言う

we have two different ways of saying something.

には2つの異なる 方法があります.

Most of the phrases that I teach you are somewhat informal,

私があなたに教えるフレーズのほとんど はやや非公式です

but some of them can be used in formal situations as well.

が, いくつかは フォーマルな状況でも使用できます

In fact, even in this situation at work,

. 実際, 職場でのこの状況でも,

I could say to someone, "I couldn't care less,"

私は言うことができます 誰かが 「I could't care less」

and they would understand what I am saying,

と言えば、彼らは私の言っていることを理解し てくれます

and I could also say to someone at work,

し、職場の誰かに

"I could care less," and they would also understand

「I could't care less」と言えば、 彼らも私の言っていることを理解してくれるでしょう

what I was saying.

In spoken English, as a native English speaker,

。 , 英語を母国語とする

we don't always realize

私

when we are using slightly incorrect language.

たちは, わずかに間違った言葉を使っていることにいつも気づくわけではありません

So, anyways, Bob the Canadian here.

. ですから, とにかく, ここにいるカナダ人のボブ.

I hope this little English lesson made some sense for you,

この小さな英語の レッスンが、

and I hope you're having a great day,
