We'd like to begin today's edition by stressing how important this word is. Really!
EMPHASIZE 強調する
- To emphasize something (for example, a point in a speech or particular words in a written text) is to show that it is especially important.
- emphasize とは、何か（例えば、話の中の論点、文章中の特定の言葉など）が特に重要であることを示す、という意味です。
- (editing a written report)
This last point is so significant that I think it's worth emphasizing with italics. - In the CEO's speech, he emphasized the importance of ethics in business.
- Let me emphasize that all customer information must be kept strictly confidential.
- The article emphasized how difficult it is to break into that country's market.
- I can't emphasize that last point enough. (= That last point is very important.)
You see? We weren't kidding!
