You're rich right? Eric: どこの世界線私はお金持ちなの！？By any stretch of the imagination, I'm not rich! 2) Boss: 正直を言って。締め切りで間に合うと思うの？Tell me honestly, do you think we'll meet the deadline? Eric: 社長! 実は毎日15時間で働いても、どんなに想像をたくましくしても間に合わないと思います！Sir, Even if we work 15 hours a day, I don't think by any stretch of the imagination could we finish this project! 以上 またよく使うフレーズですから機会があれば是非使ってみてください！それから日本語で間違えてるとこがあれば添削してくれませんか？🙂😊 ## Images 1.
