Gramática de hoje

〜に至るまで

All the way to ~; even down to ~

Formação
  • N + に至るまで
  • N1 + から + N2 + に至るまで

N に至るまで stresses that a range extends all the way to N. It is often used as A から B に至るまで, where B is at the far end of the range, something surprising to include. It works for time (from youth up to now) and for things (from vegetables down to seasonings). It is more formal and emphatic than plain まで.

Exemplos

  • この店みせでは、野菜やさいから調味料ちょうみりょう に至いたるまで、すべて地元じもとの物ものを使つかっている。

    This restaurant uses only local products, from the vegetables right down to the seasonings.

  • 祖父そふは若わかいころから現在げんざい に至いたるまで、毎日まいにち日記にっきをつけている。

    My grandfather has kept a diary every day from his youth up to the present.

〜を限りに

As of ~ (the last time); (声を限りに) at the top of one's voice

Formação
  • N(時) + を限りに
  • 声 + を限りに

There are two uses. (1) With a time noun such as 今日, 今年 or 今回, it means that something that has continued until now ends at that point. It is common for store closings, retirements and resolutions to quit. (2) In the set phrase 声を限りに, it means as loudly as one possibly can.

Exemplos

  • 本日ほんじつ を限かぎりに、当店とうてんは閉店へいてんいたします。

    As of today, this store will close for good.

  • 今日きょう を限かぎりに、たばこはやめることにした。

のれんを下ろす日 The day the curtain comes down

駅前えきまえの商店街しょうてんがいで百年ひゃくねん近ちかく続つづいてきた和菓子わがしの老舗しにせ「みどり屋や」が、今月末こんげつまつを限かぎりに店みせを閉しめることになった。Midoriya, a long-established Japanese sweets shop that has stood in the shopping street in front of the station for nearly 100 years, will close at the end of this month.

三代目さんだいめの店主てんしゅ、山本やまもとさん(七十八歳ななじゅうはっさい)が引退いんたいすることを決きめたためだ。This is because the third-generation owner, Mr. Yamamoto (78), has decided to retire.

みどり屋やの菓子かしは、材料ざいりょうの豆まめ選えらびから包装ほうそうに至いたるまで、すべて山本やまもとさんが自分じぶんの手てで行おこなってきた。For Midoriya's sweets, Mr. Yamamoto has done everything with his own hands, from choosing the beans all the way to the wrapping.

「手間暇てまひまを惜おしまないこと。それが父ちちから教おそわった、ただ一ひとつのことです」と山本やまもとさんは話はなす。"Never sparing time and effort. That is the one thing my father taught me," says Mr. Yamamoto.

店みせの中なかは今いまも隅々すみずみまで掃除そうじが行いき届とどき、古ふるい木きの棚たながつやつやと光ひかっている。Even now, every corner of the shop is spotlessly clean, and the old wooden shelves shine.

閉店へいてんが決きまってから、店みせの前まえには毎朝まいあさのように行列ぎょうれつができている。Since the closing was decided, a line has formed in front of the shop almost every morning.

四十年よんじゅうねん通かよっているという常連じょうれんの女性じょせいは、「この豆大福まめだいふくがなくなると思おもうと寂さびしい」と名残なごりを惜おしんでいた。A woman who says she has been a regular for 40 years expressed her sadness at parting: "It makes me sad to think these bean daifuku will be gone."

子こどもたちはそれぞれ別べつの仕事しごとに就ついていて、店みせを継つぐ人ひとはいない、と山本やまもとさんは話はなしていた。Mr. Yamamoto had said that his children all have other jobs and there is no one to take over the shop.

ところが最終日さいしゅうびの朝あさ、店みせの入口いりぐちに一枚いちまいの紙かみが貼はり出だされた。On the morning of the last day, however, a sheet of paper was posted at the shop's entrance.

「来年らいねんの春はる、孫まごの私わたしがこの店みせを継つぎます。それまで修業しゅぎょうしてまいります」。"Next spring, I, his grandchild, will take over this shop. Until then, I will be training."

Resposta e explicação

Quiz

1祖父そふが始はじめたこの店みせを、父ちちに続つづいて私わたしも(  )つもりだ。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 3 継つぐ

The sentence means "Following my father, I also intend to take over this shop my grandfather started." 継ぐ means to take over a family business. 呆れる and 寝付く do not take を, and 惜しむ does not make sense here.

2この喫茶店きっさてんは、毎日まいにちのように来くる(  )の客きゃくに支ささえられている。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 2 常連じょうれん

The sentence means "This café is supported by regular customers who come almost every day." 常連の客 means regular customers. The other words do not describe customers.

3祭まつりが終おわった後あとも、町まちには楽たのしかった夜よるの(  )が残のこっていた。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 1 名残なごり

The sentence means "Even after the festival ended, traces of the fun night remained in the town." 名残 means a lingering trace of something that has ended.

4社長しゃちょうの考かんがえ方かたから社員しゃいんの服装ふくそう(  )、この会社かいしゃは何なにもかもが新あたらしい。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 4 に至いたるまで

The sentence means "From the president's way of thinking down to the employees' clothes, everything about this company is new." A から B に至るまで shows a range reaching all the way to B. The other forms cannot pair with から this way.

5この映画館えいがかんは、今夜こんやの上映じょうえい(  )、五十年ごじゅうねんの歴史れきしに幕まくを下おろす。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 2 を限かぎりに

The sentence means "With tonight's showing as the last, this cinema will close its 50-year history." を限りに marks the point at which something ends. なり and や否や follow verbs, not nouns.

6「〜に至いたるまで」の使つかい方かたが正ただしいものはどれか。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 4 この旅館りょかんでは、布団ふとんから湯飲ゆのみに至いたるまで、すべて地元じもとの職人しょくにんが作つくったものだ。

Only 4 is correct: "At this inn, everything from the futons down to the teacups was made by local craftspeople." 1 does not make sense with すぐに, and in 2 and 3 に至るまで wrongly follows an i-adjective and a ta-form.

7この通とおりには老舗の旅館りょかんが多おおい。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 4 しにせ

老舗 has a special reading: しにせ (long-established shop). The sentence means "There are many long-established inns on this street."

8机つくえの中なかを隅々まで探さがしたが、鍵かぎは見みつからなかった。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 2 すみずみ

隅々 is read すみずみ (every corner). The second すみ becomes voiced: ずみ. The sentence means "I searched every corner of the desk, but couldn't find the key."
