人がとても少なくて驚いた を英語で教えて!

Question

人気スポットなのに閑散としていたので、「人がとても少なくて驚いた」と言いたいです。

Answer 1

・Surprised that there were so few people.

surprised：驚いた
so：とても
few：ほとんどない、少数しかない
※a fewのように冠詞がつくと「少しはある」という意味になります。
people：人々

例文
I was surprised that there were so few people.
人がとても少なくて驚いた。

I was surprised that there were so few people, despite the fact that it is a popular amusement park.
人気の遊園地なのに、人がとても少なくて驚きました。
※遊園地はamusement parkの他にtheme parkと言うこともできます。

Answer 2

・I was surprised that there were so few people.
・I was amazed that there were so few people.

1. I was surprised that there were so few people.
「人がとても少なくて驚いた」

surpriseは日本語でも「サプライズゲスト」と言ったりします。fewは「少ない」事を表しsoを使って強調しています。

例文
I was surprised that there were so few people. The reason I think it is cold.
「人がとても少なくて驚いた。その理由は私が思うに寒いからだと思う」

2. I was amazed that there were so few people.
「人がとても少なくて驚いた」

amazeはsurpriseよりも驚く度合いが大きい時に使います。

例文
I was amazed that there were so few people. I thought there are many people I can not walk.

「人がとても少なくて驚いた。歩けなくなるくらいのたくさんの人がいると思っていた」
