Don't you dare!
(ドンチュ〜・デア)

dare は「あえて○○する」という意味なので、○○してはいけません!という意味になります。

 

否定命令形は通常、“Don't do it!” みたいに主語の you を省略しますが、“Don't dare!” とはあまり言いません。あえて you を入れ、禁止の意味合いを強くしているのです。

発音するときは Don't と you をくっつけて、「ドンチュ〜デア!」みたいな感じになります。

 

dare を使ったもうひとつの慣用句は “How dare you!” で、「どうやったら、あえて○○できるの?」ということから、「よく○○するわね!」「よく言うわね!」 という意味になります。

現場で相手にそう言われたら、ちょっとやり過ぎ(言い過ぎ)だったと反省しましょうね。(^^;
