「work hard」だけじゃない「一生懸命働く」の英表現
=================================
一生懸命働くことを「work hard」と表現することが一般的だと思いますが、ネイティブの会話では他にも様々な言い方が存在します。そこで今回は、アメリカ人の日常会話で良く使われている口語的な表現を2つご紹介します。
--------------------------------------------------
1) Work one's tail off
→「一生懸命働く / 身を粉にして働く」
--------------------------------------------------
休む間もなく必死に働くことを「Work one's tail off」と表します。アメリカ人同士の日常会話では、tail(しっぽ)をbutt/ass(お尻)に置き換えて、「Work one's butt off」や「Work one's ass off」と表現することもよくありますが、assはちょっと下品な響があるので、「Work one's ass off」は仲の良い相手に対してのみ使うようにしましょう。Tailとbuttは、どのようなシチュエーションで使っても問題ありません。
<例文>
He is working his tail off!
(彼は一生懸命働いている。)
I worked my butt off to finish it in time.
(時間内に仕上げるために身を粉にして働きました。)
We worked our asses off this month.
(今月は一生懸命働きましたね。)
〜会話例〜
A: What a long day. I'm exhausted!
(今日は忙しくて長い一日だった。クタクタだよ。)
B: Yeah we worked our tails off today. Why don't we go grab a drink?
(うん、今日は一生懸命働きましたね。一杯行きますか?)
--------------------------------------------------
2) Work diligently
→「熱心に取り組む / 一生懸命働く」
--------------------------------------------------
Diligentlyは「熱心に」や「勤勉に」を意味することから、「work diligently」で一生懸命働くことを表します。
<例文>
I'm looking for someone who works diligently.
(一生懸命働く人を探しています。)
We are working diligently to solve this issue.
(この問題を解決する為に、私たちは一生懸命頑張っています。)
〜会話例〜
A: What do you think about our new secretary?
(新人の秘書についてどう思いますか?)
B: I think she's doing great. She's a very diligent worker.
(よく頑張っていると思います。とても熱心に働いています。)

There’s a downside to part-time trading that you must know and it’s this…
It’s difficult to generate a consistent income from part-time trading.
That’s because you’re trading off the higher timeframes which offers less trading opportunities compared to a short-term trader.
This means it takes a longer for the law of large numbers to work in your favour.
Confused?
No worries, I’ll explain…
Imagine you have a special coin in your hand…
- If it comes up head, you win $2
- If it comes up tail, you lose $1
But here’s the catch, you can only toss your coin once a day.
Do you think you’ll make money every single day?
Of course not.
Why?
Because in the short run, your coin toss results are random — you could get tails many times in a row (and thus have many losing days in a row).
Now, what if you can toss your coin 1,000 times per day, how will the results change?
Well, you’ll get close to 50% heads and 50% tails after 1,000 tosses — which means you’re guaranteed to make money every day because your edge can play out within a short period of time.
And this concept is the same for trading!
If you have an edge in the markets and you have a higher frequency of trades, your edge can play out within a shorter period of time.
If you have a lower frequency of trades (in the case of part-time trading), it takes a longer time for your edge to play out.
Although this seems like a bad thing for a part-time trader, remember…
You’ll have the ability to compound your returns for a long time, have less stress, and have the freedom to do the things you love.
Is this worth it?
Only you can decide for yourself.

Something in your Hand
“Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘Yahweh has not appeared to you.’” Yahweh said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.” He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it. Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand. “That they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”” (Exodus 4:1-5 WEB)
God likes to take what is simple and insignificant in the eyes of man, and turn it into a carrier of His power. This is how He confounds the mighty through weak things so that no flesh may boast before Him.
God may have given you a skill or talent that seems so unspectacular, but with His favor upon it, you will prosper in a way that can only be God at work!
You don’t have to look far off or compare with others who are skilled in other things. God asks you, “What is in your hand,” not because He does not know the answer, but it is to alert you to what He has blessed.
Do you want to serve God? “Lord, I have no skills like others. I cannot preach from the stage. I am afraid of crowds. I can only cook in the kitchen by myself.” Then serve through your cooking. Feed God’s people and share God’s love through that way. He has blessed that skill in your hand to prosper in a spectacular way. Your cooking will be a ministry.
A shepherd’s rod in Moses’ hand was used to do mighty miracles in Egypt and part the Red Sea. A jar of meal and a jar of oil in the widow’s house were both blessed with never-ending supply. A simple home cooked meal of five loaves of bread and two small fishes in a little boy’s hands were multiplied to feed many thousands of people.
What is in your hand? Ask the Lord to alert you to what He has blessed, and go forth knowing that He has supplied the power you need to prosper in it.
Would you like to experience more miraculous breakthroughs in your life? The Bible says that grace and peace are multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus. As you see God’s heart of grace and love revealed in Jesus’ 37 recorded miracles in the four gospels, you will receive miracle-working faith to see breakthroughs in your life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

Few books written over 2,000 years ago still contain valuable lessons for today – this is one of them. The Art of War is a treatise on ancient Chinese military strategy, but its tactics translate well to the world of politics, economics, and business psychology.
Mandatory reading in business schools and executive offices, Sun Tzu’s classic on resolving and avoiding conflict is full of timeless lessons that are easily applied on and off of the battlefield.
Key Takeaways
The secret of getting successful work out of your trained men lies in one nutshell—in the clearness of the instructions they receive.
Strike at its head, and you will be attacked by its tail; strike at its tail, and you will be attacked by its head; strike at its middle, and you will be attacked by head and tail both.
When the outlook is bright, bring it before their eyes; but tell them nothing when the situation is gloomy.
Place your army in deadly peril, and it will survive; plunge it into desperate straits, and it will come off in safety.
Those who want to make sure of succeeding in their battles and assaults must seize the favorable moments when they come and not shrink on occasion from heroic measures: that is to say, they must resort to such means of attack of fire, water and the like. What they must not do, and what will prove fatal, is to sit still and simply hold to the advantages they have got.

Nissan today unveiled the Z Proto, signaling the company's intent to launch a new generation of the legendary Z sports car. Shown at a virtual event beamed around the world from the Nissan Pavilion in Yokohama, the prototype car features a new design inside and out, as well as a V-6 twin turbocharged engine with a manual transmission.
First hinted at in a video named "Nissan A-Z" in May, the Nissan Z Proto pays full respect to 50 years of Z heritage. At the same time, it's a thoroughly modern sports car.
"The Z, as a pure sports car, represents the spirit of Nissan," said Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida. "It's a key model in our Nissan NEXT transformation plan, and it's proof of our ability to do what others don't dare to do, from A to Z. As a Z fan myself, I'm excited to announce that the next Z is coming."
A global community of fans young and old attended today's virtual unveiling. Members of the Z Club in Japan, ZCON participants in Nashville, Tennessee, and enthusiasts in various other markets tuned in for the event.
Exterior: past meets future
Penned and developed by the design team in Japan, the Z Proto boasts a fresh, attractive exterior design with a silhouette that communicates respect for the original model. It sports a bright yellow pearlescent paint – a tribute to a popular paint scheme on both the first generation Z (S30) and the 300ZX (Z32) – and a black roof.
Combining a retro theme with one that also projected futurism was challenging, said Alfonso Albaisa, head of design at Nissan.
The shape of the hood and the canted, teardrop-shaped LED headlights are both unmistakable reminders of the original Z. The rectangular grille's dimensions are similar to the current model with the addition of oval grille fins to offer an updated modern look. The form continues to exude both sportiness and elegance.
The link to the original Z is most striking when viewing the Z Proto from the side. The roofline flows from the nose to the squared-off rear to create a distinctive first-generation Z profile whose rear edge was slightly lower than the front fender height giving the Z its unique posture. The signature transition from the rear quarter glass to the low-slung position of the rear tail adds to the effect.
The rear takes inspiration from the 300ZX (Z32) taillights, reinterpreted for the modern world. Set within a rectangular black section that runs across the rear and wraps around the outer edges, the LED taillights convey a sharp glow.
Lightweight carbon fiber treatments on the side skirts, front lower lip and rear valance ensure nimble performance. 19-inch alloy wheels and dual exhausts complete the Z Proto's striking road presence.
Interior: modern tech with a vintage touch
Designed to fit driver and passenger like a glove, the Z Proto's cabin seamlessly blends modern technology with vintage Z touches.
The interior design team sought advice from professional motorsports legends to give the Z Proto an ideal sports car cabin, both for road and track. This can be seen in the Z's instrumentation. All vital information is found in the 12.3-inch digital meter display and arranged to help the driver grasp it at a glance, such as the redline shift point at the twelve o-clock position.
The new, deep dish steering wheel offers the driver quick access controls without losing its vintage aesthetic.
Yellow accents are found throughout the cabin, including stitching on the instrument panel. The seats feature special yellow accenting and a layered gradation stripe in the center of the seats to create depth.
Sports car joy: an exhilarating, dynamic performer
The original Z was built to bring the joy and excitement of sports car ownership to as many people as possible.
Each new generation had a more powerful engine, although the Z is about more than power increases.
"Z is a balance of power and agility," Tamura continued. "It is a vehicle that creates a connection with the driver not just on the physical level, but emotionally, and responds to the driver's impulses."
Make no mistake though, the Z Proto packs a powerful punch. Under the elongated hood is an enhanced V-6 twin-turbocharged engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. As a prototype, work is now underway on synchronizing the power with the grace and control that has defined the Z for the past 50 years.
"With the launch this summer of the groundbreaking Ariya EV, we've started a new era of electrification and autonomous driving technology," said Uchida. "With the Z, we're bringing drivers the excitement of a pure sports car. For more than 50 years we have been creating the legend of Z together. I'm glad you're with us for the next exciting chapter. The new Z is on its way."
