關於People的意思和用法的提問

A: Cyber Monday is (or was) the most active day (in the USA) for people buying gifts on-line. For many people, Cyber Monday is the first work day after the Thanksgiving holiday.

This question asks: what is the thing (or type of thing) that people buy on this day?

A: “syrup" is probably a metaphor which means he is very smooth, charming, or charismatic.

Otherwise, give us more context for a more detailed or correct answer.

A: Leave them to themselves. It means they do not accept help when needed and the person talking to you is telling you to not waste time on them.

彼ら自身に任せてください。それは、彼らが必要なときに助けを受け入れず、あなたと話している人があなたに時間を無駄にしないように言っていることを意味します。

A: The phrase "The less people know, the more stubbornly they know it" means that some individuals, when lacking knowledge or understanding about a particular topic, may hold onto their beliefs or opinions about it very firmly, even in the absence of facts or evidence. In other words, ignorance can sometimes lead to unwavering or stubborn convictions.

A: "Not putting something past someone" is an expression that means you believe someone is capable of doing something, especially something negative or surprising.

"Their own people" refers to the members of a particular group, family, country, or community who share common characteristics, emphasizing a sense of belonging or shared identity among the individuals being referred to.

So, what the person is saying is that they believe that those involved might be capable of causing harm or launching an attack against members of their own group. Perhaps a more clear way to express this could be, "I wouldn't be shocked if they decided to harm those who are on their side."

A: "Most Japanese people live in Japan."
"Most Japanese people learn English in school."

I wouldn't say "Most of Japanese people".
Instead, I would use "Most of the Japanese people"

"Most of the Japanese people I know do not live in Japan."
"Most of the Japanese people I know use HiNative."

These mean almost the same thing, except that the second sentence has the restriction of knowing the people I'm talking about.

"Many Japanese people live in Tokyo."
"Many Japanese people like reading."

Most means - More than half.
Many means - A lot, plenty.

In US English, we tend to use the word "plenty" to mean "many", but many is more formal.

A: To condone something means to allow it or agree with it. I normally see it used in a negative way, as in "I don't condone this...(I don't agree with this) but in this case I understand.

Let's say you heard a story about a dad who stole food for his family because he was poor. Someone might respond like this:

"I don't condone stealing, but I understand why he did it."

A: I'm guessing this is in relation to religion, specifically God.

"God made us in his image" is what you will find Christians and others who believe in God telling each other or reading in Genesis 1 in the Bible - but the interpretation of that verse is complex or simple depending on who you talk to. How a person chooses to believe it may be literally (God looks like humans), or we behave like him even with slight physical differences... some take it as a phrase of comfort while some take it metaphorically and don't think too deeply about it. Many take it at face value and say God could literally walk beside you and you wouldn't know it was Him. There are so many different beliefs that no one person will interpret it the same way.

A: More and more people have been enjoying camping on the weekends. Indeed, relaxing in nature might be the best way to relieve the stress that builds up from city life. Unfortunately, some campers break tree branches or leave their trash behind. If this pattern continues, nature will suffer from human behavior, even if it helps lower their fatigue.

Corrections

1. “comping” to “camping”


2. “on the weekend” to “on the weekends”: More common


3. “the stress that builds up in the city life” to “the stress that builds up from city life”: Simplified for clarity.


4. Removed “But” at the beginning of the third sentence: Starting with “Unfortunately” makes it flow better.


5. “the nature suffer the human behavior” to “nature will suffer from human behavior”:


6. “even if they could lower their fatigue” to “even if it helps lower their fatigue”

A: × 2. I don’t like other people's skin touch me, so I walk away from them.
✓ 2. I don’t like when other people's skin touches me, so I walk away from them.

× 3. I don't like other people's skin contact my skin, so I walk away from them.
✓ 3. I don't like when other people's skin contacts my skin, so I walk away from them.

You can say either "I don't like it when..." or "I don't like when.." Both work.

Number 3 is more formal. The level of formality probably doesn't fit the topic.

I want to add another option:
"I don't like it when other people's skin touches mine..."
This specifically means other people's skin touches your skin, like in Number 3. Skin-to-skin contact, not skin-to-clothes.

In all three, it is a little unclear when you walk away from people. It is possible you just always walk away from people constantly. Because you feel this way, you constantly walk away from people regardless of whether they touched you. But, people are not stupid, so they will almost certainly know what you mean. However, if you want, you can clarify it like this:

"I don't like when other people's skin touches mine, so when it happens, I walk away."

If I take some liberty, I would translate it like this:
"I don't like it when other people's skin touches mine, so I keep my distance."
"I don't like it when other people's skin touches mine, so I like to maintain my personal space."

A: "Can you make the way, please?" does not sound rude to me, but it would more commonly be phrased as "Can you move, please?" or "Can you let me through".

Most commonly in this situation people would just say "excuse me" to alert the person in a way that doesn't sound rude, but the examples I mentioned above are fine alternatives.

A: It's great!
