Emotions & Feelings
Expressing happiness, sadness, surprise, and exhaustion
はじめに
イギリス人は感情を表に出さないと思われがちですが、実はスラングを見るとまったく違う姿が見えてきます。有名な「stiff upper lip（平然とした態度）」の裏には、感情を表現する豊かな言葉が隠れているんです。「chuffed（めっちゃ嬉しい）」の温かさから、「gutted（ショックで凹む）」の衝撃まで。
イギリスの感情表現が面白いのは、その「身体感覚」にあります。抽象的な感情じゃなくて、体で感じる経験として表現するんですね。ただ疲れたんじゃなくて「knackered」——馬が廃馬処理場に送られるくらいヘトヘト。ただ驚いたんじゃなくて「gobsmacked」——口（gob）を叩かれて言葉が出ないほどびっくり。
この章では、イギリス人が自分の内面をどう語るかを探ります。喜びから疲労まで、感情をガツンと伝えつつ、イギリスらしい控えめさも忘れない——そんな絶妙な表現を学びましょう。
