Hello again! Today we look at the rose-colored dream that has caused many a bold man and woman to pull up stakes and head for distant lands!
A BETTER LIFE vs. THE GOOD LIFE より良い生活 vs. 豊かな暮らし
- To have a better life is to have a higher quality
of life or standard of living than before.
The good life is a life that is extremely satisfying and enjoyable, especially one filled with leisure and luxury. - a better life とは、以前よりも質の高い生活、または、生活水準の高い暮らしのことです。
the good life は、極めて満足度の高い楽しい生活、特に、娯楽や贅沢にあふれた、豊かな暮らしのことです。
- Many Japanese immigrated to Brazil before the war in search of a better life.
- I grew up poor. So I worked hard to get into a good college because I knew it would be my ticket to (= it would make possible) a better life.
- Jack is retired and living the good life on Maui.
- Because I was always too busy dreaming of the good life, I never realized how wonderful my life already was.
Life IS good!
