Go ahead!(ゴァヘッド!)

非常によく使う表現なので、常に口をついて出てくるぐらい練習してくださいね。相手に許可を与える場合や促す場合に使える万能表現です。

Go ahead!・・・ 直訳すれば「前進しなさい」ですが、意味はもっと軽く、「いいよ」ぐらいの感じです。


よく使われるシチュエーションとしては、“Let me see your picture.”(あなたの写真を見せてください)などの、“Let me..”で始まる表現に対する返答です。

「〜させてください」という意味なので、単にYes. と応えるのはぶっきらぼうです。そこで“Go ahead!”(どうぞ!)を使えば、快く承諾したことになります。


もちろん、通常の疑問文に対しても使えます。

“Can I see your picture?” “Oh, go ahead!”という具合です。

“Go aHead!”とそれぞれの単語を強く発音すると、「やりなさいよ!」のような促す意味合いが強くなります。
