質問: As of this July, I will have been engaged for three years and with my boyfriend for 12. We have put off getting married for quite some time now and I have resigned myself to the fact that it may not happen. I set a date which then passed because he wanted his family present when we get married. He refuses to marry in the state his family is in because “I don’t live there and have any connection to there” he states. So, this involves his family having to come out here for us to get married. After many discussions, I have tapped out. I refuse to look at places to rent for this event or even set a date. His family thinks it is me that is putting on these demands but it’s not. I have now told him that I really don’t care if we get married (seriously, by now I’m just over it) but I get asked all the time “when are you getting married?” On one hand it’s pretty embarrassing that after 12 years we still can’t get it together. putting on these demandsとget it togetherの意味を教えてください。よろしくお願いします
回答: > get it togetherの直接の訳をいただけますでしょうか? 直訳は「一緒にそれを得る」 つまり「一緒に結婚する」 変な表現ですが、他の誰とでもなく12年も付き合った彼と一緒に、と言う意味が含まれているのでしょう。日本語ぽくするとたんに、 「一緒になる」。
