ご質問どうもありがとうございます。
様々な表現があると思いますが、いくつか自然な表現を紹介します。
- I'm pretty slow so I'm having some trouble keeping up with the lesson.
- I can't type really fast so I'm having some trouble keeping up with the lesson.
--- to keep up with something/someone = ~についていける
お好みに合わせて使い分けてみてください!
ご参考にしていただければ幸いです。
The expressions above relate to a person who takes a long time to respond to a message because they type slowly. This might be the case on a laptop or even a smartphone. This is a common problem amongst people who barely use laptops or smartphones regularly and therefore don't type enough to get practice to be fast enough.
Example:
I'm sorry for my delayed response, I'm a slow typer.
上の文はタイピングが遅いのでメッセージの返信に時間がかかってしまう人について言っています。ラップトップの話かもしれませんし、スマホかもしれません。これは、あまりラップトップやスマートフォンを使わない人に共通する問題です。あまり使わないので上達も遅くなります。
例:
I'm sorry for my delayed response, I'm a slow typer.
(返信が遅れてすみません。タイプが遅いのです。)
Touch typing' is where someone uses their muscle memory to type without looking at the keyboard and utilises all fingers and both thumbs on each hand.
When you are 'fairly' slow at something this means that you are somewhat slow, or quite slow. You could also say that you are 'fairly good' at something, meaning you are moderately good.
Just like any other skill typing requires practise to become sufficiently quick and accurate.
「パソコンを打つ」は日本語の表現ですね。「パソコンでタイプを打つ」と言う意味ですね。英語だったら to type と言う動詞をつかいます。
1) I am slow at typing (on the computer).
「(パソコン)でタイプを打つのが遅い」という意味です。
昨今はタイプを打つのはコンピューターを意味するので「パソコンで:on the computer」はあえて言わなくても伝わります。
2)I can't type very fast.
「タイプの早打ちができない」
これは意訳をしました。「タイプを打つのが遅い=早くできない」と言う意味で捉えて英語にしました。英語は言い換えがすぐに出てくると表現力が増しますね。
頑張ってください!
When you want to explain that you do not type very fast on a computer, then you may express this in the following ways:
-I am a slow typer
-I type very slowly
「私はパソコンを打つのが遅い」と説明したいなら、次のように言えます。
-I am a slow typer(私はパソコンを打つのが遅いです)
-I type very slowly(私はパソコンを打つのがとても遅いです)
These expressions here are implying that one is unable to 'type' very fast, this context is usually implying that it is on a keyboard for a laptop or computer, even on ones phone.
Both sentences worded differently but with the same outcome, to say you are slow at something and that you aren't fast at something.
If you would like to tell someone that you are a really slow typer, you can say something like "I type really slowly on a computer. or "I am a slow typer.". These are both easy ways to explain to someone that you do not type very fast on a computer.
Some people are not able to type very fast. Although, this seems a bit strange to me. But of course, the older generation who didn't use computers or mobile phones are the ones who probably type very slowly.
We can use either of these sentences above to explain to someone that you don't type very quickly. A "typist" is a person who types. Most people are typists these days. We use computers a lot and send many text messages a day.
in the first and second sentence, you admit that you are not good at typing.
Expression "strong suit" means the best quality of a person. By saying that fast typing is not your strong suit, you also admit you are not very good at it.
"I am a slow typer" is a straight forward sentence to let someone know you are slow at typing on the computer.
