=================================
「共通点がある・ない」は英語で?
=================================
初対面の人、特に相手が外国人であれば、文化や習慣の違いなど、自分との違いを見つけ出すことは簡単なことです。しかし、相手とより親交を深めたいのであれば、共通点を見つけ出すことが重要になります。そこで今回は、「共通点がある」、またその逆の「共通点がない」の英語表現について触れてみようと思います。
--------------------------------------------------
Have something(nothing) in common
→ 「共通点がある(ない)」
--------------------------------------------------
「Have something in common」は、共通点がある意味として日常的に使われるフレーズです。どの程度の共通点があるのか、その大小に関係なく表現するのであれば「Have something in common」でいいのですが、趣味や経歴など多くの点で共通点があると伝える時は「We have a lot in common.」や「We have many things in common.」のように、somethingの代わりにa lotやmany things、またはso muchなどの語句を置き換えて表現すればOKです。反対に共通点が全くない場合はsomethingの代わりにnothingを使って、「Have nothing in common」のように表現します。
<例文>
It sounds like you and Lauren have many things in common.
(ローレンさんと共通点が多いみたいですね。)
I think you guys will get a long. You guys have a lot of hobbies in common.
(きっと気が合うと思いますよ。あなたたちには共通の趣味がたくさんあります。)
My sister and I have nothing in common.
(私は妹と全く共通点がありません。)
〜会話例1〜
A: How did your date with Christina go last night?
(昨日、クリスティーナさんとのデートはどうでした?)
B: It was wonderful. She loves to travel, she's into surfing, we had so much in common.
(最高でした。彼女は旅行が大好きで、サーフィンにも夢中で、共通点がたくさんありました。)
〜会話例2〜
A: I'm having a hard time connecting with Peter. We have nothing in common.
(ピーターとは全く共通点がないし、なかよ〜するんは難しいわ。)
B: Did you know that he's studying Japanese too? You should talk to him about that.
(彼も日本語の勉強をしているって知ってた?それについて話したらええんちゃう?)

The first thing that came to our mind last night was.... "Yay! We can finally go and have a swim!" Yup, I guess these water babies really miss splashing around and having a good time.
Looking back, I must say that the circuit breaker didn't turn out to be dreadful after all because it gave us much needed time and opportunity to pursue our interests, rediscover hobbies and just spend time being together as a family. That, I'm truly grateful for.
Now that the littlest is going back to school next week after a three-month hiatus, the girls will no longer have to alternate going to school weekly at the end of the month and the hubby will likely go back to working his usual hours soon, I think I am gonna miss this stay home period where the house is constantly messy but merry.
That said, it is still a time to celebrate and rejoice as we gather with loved ones. Yup, it's been months since I saw my parents so it's nice that we get to invite them over to celebrate Father's Day this weekend. Well, let's all try to still stay home when we can, keep a safe distance when we are out and not let our guards down yet, yeah?

"Mama, I never knew you like beads."
Yes, kids, I guess there are many things you still don't know me. Perhaps, over time, I forgot about them myself too. The beauty of having more free time in the past two months meant I was able to rediscover some of my old hobbies, including reading, crocheting and beading.
I took out my bead collection, which has been stored away for over a decade, recently and the girls said "That is a lot of colourful beads, we can start a shop!" Haha. Yup, I used to love beading and bought all sorts of beads and jewellery accessories in Sweden so that I could make them as gifts for friends. It took me a long time to figure out each pattern but I remember the sense of achievement I felt with every pair of earrings, phone strap or charms that was completed, not to mention how each of them warmed hearts and brought smiles.
The kids recently saw how I used hours of time and stayed up late and to cut and twist wires, thread beads, tie knots and put everything together one by one. I hope it reminded all of us on how we can always find time to do the things we love, that it is never too late to rekindle a passion, that a token of love and appreciation can be small but sincere, and that all good things take time.
Happy Friday, people! Find time this weekend to do something that makes you happy, yeah? It's movie night tonight for us, woohoo!
