☆ notice　配慮する

============================

Today’s translation is a little hard to use as the word, “notice”. Instead
you would be more likely to use the word “consider” or “think about”. When
“notice” is used as a verb, it is usually used to mean, “realize”.

Here are some example sentences:

He didn’t take any notice of his wife’s question.
He didn’t notice his wife asking him a question.
We should consider his young age, when making a decision.
Thank you for thinking about me.

Can you think of any others?

Bye,
Chris

今日の言葉“notice”は、訳しにくいですね。
“Consider(熟考する)”や、“think about(考える)”の方がよく使うかもしれません。
動詞の“notice”は、“realize(気がつく)”という意味です。

例文を上げてみましょう：

He didn’t take any notice of his wife’s question.
(彼は、妻の質問に注意を向ける配慮をしなかった)
He didn’t notice his wife asking him a question.
(彼は、妻が質問をしていることに気付かなかった)

We should consider his young age, when making a decision.
(決断をする時に、彼の年齢が若すぎるということに配慮をするべきだった)

Thank you for thinking about me.
(ご配慮いただき、ありがとうございます。)

他にもありますか？

それでは！
