Yeah, they went on a few dates, but in the end it just fizzled out. Yeah, they went on a few dates, but in the end it just fizzled out. So to fizzle out is strictly speaking a phrasal verb. And this is very context specific to relationship language or dating language. So to fizzle out is to gradually end, often in a very disappointing way, disappointing and weak. So if a relationship just fizzles out, it just stops. It just two people just don't have enough chemistry to keep the fire alive or to keep the fire burning. And this just happens, doesn't it? Some relationships just fizzle out before they've even really begun. And that just means it's not the right person. Number five, two women. They look like best friends catching up. This was a bit sad for me because it reminded me of my best friend, Sarah, who sadly moved away to Devon, miles away from me. So I see her once in a blue moon, quite frankly, and that's really sad. Hopefully in the future we might live nearer each other. It's such a blustery day today. I nearly lost my hat outside Tesco's. Tesco's is a very popular supermarket here. Very affordable, very reasonably priced. Now the word she used, as you just heard, was blustery. One of my favourite words in the world. I don't know what it is. For me it's slightly onomatopoeic, which means it sounds like what it actually is describing. And it just means really windy. So in England we have these crazy windy days. It's not stormy, so there's no thunder and lightning and rain. It's just really windy and often quite mild in temperature. So a blustery day is actually really nice because the trees are just moving and it's not that cold, so you can still go out and enjoy it. I also managed to catch another thing that they said and that was, it's all hands on deck at the moment for my brother's wedding. All hands on deck. What do you think that means?
ええ、何度かデートを重ねましたが、結局は霧散してしまいました。ええ、彼らは何度かデートに行きましたが、結局はただ霧散してしまいました。というわけで、fizzle outは厳密に言えば句動詞です。そしてこれは、恋愛用語やデート用語に非常に特化した文脈です。つまり、fizzle outとは、徐々に終わっていくことであり、多くの場合、非常に残念な形で、失望し、弱くなることである。つまり、ある関係が霧散してしまうと、それはただ止まってしまう。二人の相性が悪くて、火を絶やさない、あるいは燃え続けることができない。そ
