N2 文法 57/60

〜にすぎない

Be merely ~; no more than ~

接續

  • N + にすぎない
  • V普通形 + にすぎない

解說

This stresses that something is "only this and nothing more," that it is small or unimportant. It is often used to say an amount or number is small, as in 一部にすぎない. It can also be used to speak modestly about yourself. It is common in writing and formal speech.

例句

  • それは私わたしの個人的こじんてきな意見いけん にすぎません。

    That is merely my personal opinion.

  • 日本語にほんごが話はなせると言いっても、簡単かんたんなあいさつができる にすぎない。

    I say I can speak Japanese, but I can only manage simple greetings.

  • 社長しゃちょうと言いっても、社員しゃいんが五人ごにんの小ちいさな会社かいしゃの社長しゃちょう にすぎない。

    I may be a company president, but it's just a small company with five employees.

  • 今回こんかいの旅行りょこうで見みたのは、この国くにのほんの一部いちぶ にすぎない。

    What I saw on this trip was only a tiny part of this country.

注意

It often appears with ただ, ほんの or と言っても. In casual conversation, だけだ is more common.

小測驗

1私わたしはただ言いわれたことをした(  )。特別とくべつなことは何なにもしていません。

答案與解析

答案: 3 にすぎません

The speaker modestly says "I only did what I was told," so にすぎません fits: "I merely did what I was told. I didn't do anything special."

2この町まちの人口じんこうは約やく三千人さんぜんにん(  )が、毎年まいとし多おおくの観光客かんこうきゃくが来くる。

答案與解析

答案: 1 にすぎない

The speaker stresses the small number, so にすぎない is correct: "This town has only about 3,000 people, but many tourists come every year." わりに needs の after a noun and cannot be followed by が.

3それはただのうわさ(  )。本当ほんとうかどうかは分わからない。

答案與解析

答案: 4 にすぎない

With a noun, use に: うわさにすぎない. The sentence means "That is just a rumor. We don't know if it's true." The other choices are not correct forms.
