We're
asking everyone to chip in.
少しずつ出し合うようみんなに頼んでいます。
Anne:
Did you hear that Ted and Tina are getting
married?
Justin:
Yeah, that's great!
Anne:
Kacy and I were thinking of getting them
a present from Me, Kacy, you, Donna and John, like a crystal vase
or something. We're asking everyone to chip
in a few dollars.
Justin:
That's a good idea. Who should I give the
money to?
"We're asking everyone to chip in."は、"We
are asking everyone to contribute."とも言えます。この場合、"That would
be me"以外に、"You can pay me." "You can pass it to me."などの言い方もあります。
