程度の副詞

I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation.

I had hoped it was merely due to some oversight.

Well, in that event, I'd best be on my way.

And you're not offended, your excellency?

And to show I bear no ill will, I too shall bestow a gift on the child.

The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who meet her.

But before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a sleep like death.

Sleeping Beauty was one of Disney's first hit animations in 1959.

And you may have heard that in 2014, a reimagining of this classic fairy tale was released, starring the incomparable Angelina Jolie as Maleficent.

In this new movie, we actually see that the villain Maleficent is actually just misunderstood.

Princess Aurora's father, Stefan was in love with her, but

because betrayed her trust out of greed and ambition, stealing Maleficent's wings in order to be named a successor to the throne.

Understandably, this made Maleficent bitter and led her to seek revenge by placing a curse in Princess Aurora shortly after her birth.

Luckily, Maleficent gets to know Aurora throughout her childhood.

Maleficent grows to love Aurora and opens her heart, eventually becoming the good fairy she was before King Stefan's betrayal.

In the first scene, Princess Aurora, now grown up, wanders into the moors Maleficent's kingdom and meets Maleficent for the very first time.

You've been watching over me my whole life.

It's been following me ever since I was small.

Wherever I went, your shadow is always with me.

Come out means to stop hiding and show yourself.

Aurora is asking Maleficent to step into view so she can see her.

This phrase is also used when people are hiding in general.

Like in this phrase used in the children's game hide and seek.

Next, let's take a look at the surprising name that Aurora calls Maleficent.

So a fairy godmother is a magical character from fairy tales who watches over and help someone.

Aurora has noticed Maleficent around her entire life and believes she has been protecting her like a fairy godmother would, which is why she.

So, did you understand the meaning of this phrasal verb now?

To watch over someone means to protect and take care of them.

It might also be used to mean to keep someone out of trouble.

Like in this example from the Little Mermaid.

Constant someone to watch over her all the time, day and night.

It's a way of saying someone or something is in the area even if you can't see them.

Make sure you pronounce it with the S sound.

Not close, which would be a verb, like to close the door.

The shadow is the dark shape that appears when something blocks light.

I notice learners often confuse shadow with shade.

Shadow is the dark outline of a specific object created when light hits it.

While shade is a cool, dark area where you can rest.

This expression means something is exactly as wonderful as you thought it would be.

It meets or even exceeds your expectations.

Aurora is saying the Moors are as magical and beautiful as you dreamed they would be.

You may also use the verb dream instead of imagine in this phrase.
