Karenの例文や意味・使い方に関するQ&A

A: Karens are stereotypically white middle class women with a short-ish haircut, but that's just the stereotype. Anyone can technically act like a Karen but the term is most commonly applied to white women.

A: Karenは女性の名前ですけど、最近、怒って、威張り散らす女性という意味です。

A: Karen is a woman's name. Recently it's been used colloquially to mean a rude, entitled middle aged woman.

Examples: "That customer was such a Karen"

"Karen wants to speak with the manager."

"Don't be a Karen."

Karen is an extremely rude thing to call someone (unless that's their name), so you wouldn't call someone a Karen to their face.

A: 「はいどうぞ、カレンと紫の物」

カレンとはずっと文句を言っている人という意味が多いので冗談かもしれないと思います。ある散髪を持つ人もカレンと呼ばれます。説明しづらいことですが、ネットで見つけられると思います

Recently, the slang term "Karen" for middle-aged women has been popular online.

A:


中文能这样翻译吗？可能换个例子好
When I picked up the toy, it broke.
我把玩具捡起来的时候，它坏了
(My act of picking up the toy caused it to break, or maybe it just happened to break when I picked it up).

When I picked up the toy, it was broken.
我把玩具捡起来的时候，它已经坏了
I was not the one who broke the toy. At the time I picked it up, it was already broken.

想了一想，问题点可能是在"to have dinner”这个动词

因为When Karen arrived, I had two bicycles. Now I have one. 意思是：她到我家的时候我（已经）有两辆自行车。 也许她偷了一个,现在我只有一辆自行车。
但这里的动词是"to have"而不是"to have a bicycle".

形容状态的话的确是已经存在的条件

When I arrived, the light turned on.
verb: to turn on
= I arrived, and then the light turned on.

When I arrived, the light was turned on.
verb: to be
= the light was already on, the light had been turned on

Please check my answer.

When introducing oneself, we don't start with "Nice to meet you." We start by greeting everyone. Like, "Good morning," "Good afternoon," "Good day," or "Hello."

A: "Thank you very much to Karen at the First Aid station in the Magic Kingdom. Thanks to her we were able to have so much fun. Now, having returned to Japan, it's as if we are still surrounded by magic."
:)

A: If you are trying to refer to Karen and her birthday trip then just remove the "a"

Ex: Karen's birthday trip was so fun last month.

Or if you are trying to talk about you being present during the trip you could say "At Karen's birthday trip I had so much fun."

Hope this was what you meant! :)
