=================================
「Suck」の使用はタブー?
=================================
英語の「Suck」といえば、本来は「吸う」や「しゃぶる」などを意味し、性的な意味合いもあることから使用を避けられがちかと思いますが、ネイティブの日常会話では、いかがわしい意味以外のスラングとしても非常に頻繁に使われている単語なので、今日はその用法について触れていこうと思います。
~suckの本来の意味~
suckは本来、「吸う」や「しゃぶる」、「なめる」を意味する単語です。例えば、「ストローで吸う」は“Suck on a straw.”、「ペロペロキャンディーをなめる」は“Suck on a lollipop.”、「私の息子は親指をしゃぶります」は“My son sucks his thumb.”と言います。その他、“Vacuum cleaners suck dust from the floor.”のように、掃除機が床のホコリを吸い取る意味でも使えます。
~日常会話で使われるsuckの意味と用法~
--------------------------------------------------
1) ____ sucks
→「ひどい / 最悪 / つまらない」
--------------------------------------------------
suckは「ひどい」「最悪」「つまらない」の意味でよく使われる口語的な表現です。例えば、「この料理は最悪だ」は“This food sucks.”、「この映画はつまらない」は“That movie sucks.”、「私の仕事は最悪だ」は“My job sucks.”のように表現します。一般的に“____ sucks”の形式が使われます。
<例文>
That restaurant has a nice vibe, but the food sucks.
(あのレストランは雰囲気はいいけど、料理がひどいよ。)
I don't get what the hype is all about. I thought that movie sucked.
(なんであの映画がすごく話題になっているのか分からない。僕はあの映画は最悪だと思ったんだけどね。)
My job sucks. It doesn't pay well and I have to work long hours.
(私の仕事は最悪です。給料は安いし、長時間働かないといけない。)
--------------------------------------------------
2) That sucks
→「それはひどいね / 残念だね / ついてないね」
--------------------------------------------------
“That sucks.”は「それはひどいね」や「残念だね」、「ついてないね」を意味し、不幸や災難といった悪い出来事に対する同情を表す表現として使われるインフォーマルなフレーズです。
✔友人のペットや誰かが亡くなった場合など深刻なシーンでの使用は非常に失礼にあたるので避けましょう。その場合は、“I'm very sorry.”や“I'm sorry to hear that.”を使うようにしましょう。
<例文>
The tickets sold out? That sucks.
(チケットが売り切れ?ついていないね。)
I can't believe your flight got delayed for 8 hours. That sucks.
(飛行機が8時間も遅れるなんて信じられない。ホント、ありえないよね。)
That sucks. If I were you, I would have complained to the manager.
(それはひどい。私だったらマネージャーに文句を言ってるよ。)
〜会話例1〜
A: I just needed one more point to pass! It's so frustrating.
(あと1点で合格だったのに!悔しいよ。)
B: Ah man, that sucks.
(あー、それは残念だね。)
〜会話例2〜
A: I was supposed to study abroad in Vancouver this year, but it got canceled because of the coronavirus.
(今年はバンクーバーに留学する予定だったのにコロナで中止になっちゃったよ。)
B: Are you serious? That sucks. Hopefully, you can go next year.
(マジで?それは最悪。来年は行けるといいね。)
〜会話例3〜
A: It was raining the whole time I was there. It was terrible.
(旅行中、ずっと雨だったよ。最悪だった。)
B: Wow, that sucks. I had a similar experience when I went to Thailand last year.
(それはついてないね。私も去年タイに行った時、同じような経験をしたよ。)
--------------------------------------------------
3) Suck(s) at ____
→「〜が下手 / 〜が苦手」
--------------------------------------------------
suckはスポーツや楽器が「下手」、学校の科目が「苦手」と表現する時にも使うことができ、その場合は“suck at ____”の形式が使われます。例えば、「私はビリヤードが下手です」は“I suck at pool.”、「彼は運転が下手です」は“He sucks at driving.”、「彼女は絵を描くのが苦手です」は“She sucks at drawing.”のように表現します。
ちなみに、「君は下手くそだな」と言いたい時はシンプルに“You suck!”と言います。“You suck!”は状況によって、「君は役立たずだ」や「あなたは最低だ」の意味になることもあるので、状況に応じて判断しましょう。
✔「(彼は)〜が下手」→「(He) sucks at _____」
✔「(彼は)へたくそ」→「(He) sucks!」
<例文>
I suck at cooking. I go to the convenience store or order on Uber Eats every day.
(私は料理が下手なので、毎日コンビニに行くかUber Eatsで注文します。)
He seriously sucks at driving. Honestly, he shouldn't be on the road. It's hazardous.
(彼は運転が本当に下手。正直、彼は運転しない方がいいと思う。危険だよ。)
Is she really a professional singer? She sucks. She can't carry a tune.
(彼女は本当にプロの歌手なの?下手くそだね。音痴だよ。)
I suck at cooking. The only thing I can make is cup noodles.
(私は料理が下手です。カップ麺くらいしか作れません。)
I suck at math. I never liked math ever since I was a kid.
(私は数学が苦手です。子供の時からずっと数学は嫌いでした。)
He really sucks. He needs more practice.
(彼はホントに下手くそだね。もっと練習しないといけないよ。)
--------------------------------------------------
4) Suck it up
→「我慢しなさい」
--------------------------------------------------
“suck it up”は「我慢しなさい」を意味する口語的な言い方です。特にグダグダと愚痴をこぼしたり弱音を吐いている人に対して使われることが多く、文句を言わずに「我慢してやりなさい、終わらせないさい、なんとかしなさい」といった意味になります。“suck it up”は必ずこの組み合わせで使われるので、このまま覚えましょう。
<例文>
Look. I know you're exhausted, but suck it up. We have to finish this by today.
(クタクタに疲れているのは分かってるけど、我慢して。今日中に終わらせないといけないので)
My leg cramped up during the marathon, but I sucked it up and finished the race.
(マラソン中に足がつりましたが、我慢して完走しました。)
Don't put off your project. Just suck it up and finish tonight.
(プロジェクトを後回しにしない。つべこべ言わないで言わないで今夜中に終わらせない)
〜会話例〜
A: It's too hot. I don't want to do this anymore.
(暑すぎる。もうやりたくないよ。)
B: Suck it up. We're almost done. Let's finish up.
(もうすぐ終わるんだから我慢しなよ。終わらせよう。)

Prunes are high in fiber, which helps prevent hemorrhoids brought on by constipation! Chronic constipation is a common problem in older adults and can also be a painful problem for infants. Prune juice acts as a laxative thanks to its high sorbitol content. But do ask your doctor if it’s right for you or your child, ok?
@sunsweetmy prunes and prune juice works for the family. I add them to my cooking or just simply eat them on their own!
Here’s a super simple snack you can make:
Gingered Prunes:
Ingredients
3 cups Sunsweet®️ Amaz!n™️ Pitted Prunes
2 cups Sunsweet®️ Amaz!n™️ Prune Juice
1/2 cup peeled fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 lemon, sliced and seeded
Honey to taste (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring all ingredients except honey to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, or until excess liquid has cooked off, stirring occasionally. Add honey if a sweeter taste is preferred.
Tip // serve warm or cold as breakfast side, alongside meat dishes, or as a light dessert.

Pancakes 🥞 made with love ❤ for our dearest Jiejie!
In wanting to show their love and support for the big sister who is in the midst of PSLE, these two decided to whip up some yummy pancakes - in heart shapes no less! Thanks to the Betty Crocker Pancake Mix, they were able to do most of it, including mixing, pouring, flipping and decorating, on their own though I did help out a little when we were cooking.
You can now stand a chance to win 1 of 12 luxury brunch vouchers (valued at $300 and is good for 2) to Sofitel Sentosa by posting your most mouthwatering or creative pancake creation on IG and FB tagging Betty Crocker SG and #flipthemorning. Visit https://bit.ly/FlipTheMorningSGContest for more details.
They decided to add blueberries and strawberries as toppings since the sister loves them and finished by drizzling maple syrup over the pancakes. Yummy! It was a simple but heartwarming meal that all of us enjoyed making and eating.
Thank you for the time and effort, kiddos, I am sure Jiejie appreciates it very much too. May you all always stay loving as siblings and find ways to show how much you care for one another.
Have fun making your pancakes too! We will definitely make these again real soon!

Karaage (also called Tatsutaage) is Japanese fried chicken. It is usually cooked for lunch, dinner, or bento. Also, it is the best party recipe favored by most people!
FYI: Dried soy meat I used.
https://amzn.to/3zBFQ4m
---------------------------------
Vegan Karaage (Soy Meat Fried Chicken) Recipe
Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 40min (incl. marinating time)
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) dried soy meat blocks https://amzn.to/3zBFQ4m
* 2 tbsp. soy sauce
* 2 tbsp. sake

* 1 clove grated garlic
* 1 tsp. sesame oil
2 tbsp. Katakuriko (potato starch)
deep frying oil
lemon wedges if preferred
Directions:
1. In a boiling water, cook dried soy meat blocks for 4 minutes. Or as directed on its package. Wash well (change water for a few times) to remove the bad smell, then drain well.
2. Mix the seasonings in a bowl and marinate the soy meat for about 30 minutes. Overnight is okay, longer makes them tasty.

5. Serve with lemon wedges if you like.

You just need Tempura flour and mayonnaise.
Double or triple this recipe to make as many as you want 😊
Whipped cream or ice cream filling is really good. It adds vanilla flavor and sweetness. Makes it moist and super delicious. Must try!
French Crullers are the top-selling donut at Mister Donut (donut shop) in Japan. Simple sugar glaze is my kids' favorite but in this video they ended up playing with the cream 😅
FYI: Tempura Flour (any brand is OK):

---------------------------------
2-Ingredient French Crullers
Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 15min
Number of servings: 3 (3-Inch-round 1.5-Inch-height)
Ingredients:
160g (5.6oz.) Tempura flour https://amzn.to/3BXYIMp
4 tbsp. mayonnaise https://amzn.to/3yTRmHX
100ml water
deep frying oil
powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)
whipped cream
Directions:
1. Put Tempura flour, mayonnaise, and 100ml water in a bowl and mix well with a spatula.
2. Transfer the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a large (0.6inch) star tip (Do NOT use a round tip or the batter will explode!!!). Pipe out 2 layers of rings onto a parchment paper.
3. Deep fry in oil at 180C (350F) until crisp golden brown.
4. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with sugar glaze (mix 3 tbsp. powdered sugar & 1 tsp. water). You can slice and place whipped cream or ice cream between the layers if you like!
I haven't tried but I think you can bake in oven at 180C (350F) for 15 minutes.

Maguro means Tuna, Zuke means to marinate, and Don is short for Donburi which means rice bowl. Marinated fresh Sashimi-grade tuna served on a rice bowl. Quick yet delicious!
You can of course use Salmon, scallop, or any other Sashimi-grade fish instead! Enjoy :)
---------------------------------
Maguro Zuke Don (Marinated Tuna Fish Rice Bowl)
Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 15min
Number of servings: 1
Ingredients:
90g (3.2oz) Sashimi Grade Yellowfin Ahi Tuna
1/2 tbsp. Sake
1/2 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)
1 tbsp. soy sauce
Wasabi if you like
1 bowl of rice
Kizaminori (shredded Nori sheet)
green onions and/or Shiso leaf
toasted white sesame seeds
Directions:
1. In a small pot, boil down Sake and Mirin to reduce the alcohol content.
2. Add soy sauce and Wasabi, then mix well. (Wasabi will be not spicy if you mix and leave for a while, so kids can eat it with only nice Wasabi aroma.)
3. Marinate tuna Sashimi and put in the fridge for about 10 minutes. (Do not marinate too long or tuna will be salty.)
4. Meanwhile, put rice in a rice bowl and leave to cool. (Cold rice is better because it won't warm up the fish.)
5. Put Kizaminori on the rice, arrange Tuna sashimi, garnish with green onions or Shiso leaves, and sprinkle with toasted white sesame seeds. You can place a bit of fresh Wasabi on top if you like.
