nothing if not
意味:~なのが一番の取りえだ、とりわけ~、どう見ても~
読んだり聞いたりするとわかるけど、自分の口からはなかなかぱっと出てこないので、ドラマのセリフを音読して覚えようと抜き出してみました。
アリー・マイ・ラブ (Ally McBeal)
Richard: It’s important they come out believing they’ll pay less taxes. (leaving) Less taxes, reduces, not as much, diminished, abated, less, less than, lower… I’m nothing if not redundant. I also repeat myself.
ボストンリーガル (Boston Legal)
Judge Clark Brown: This is a grave matter. I’d appreciate your sensitivity.
Denny Crane: I am nothing if not sensitive.
アーミワイフ(Army Wives)
Michael: And we’ll make this work.
Claudia Joy : Lenore is nothing if not consistent. She already cost you one promotion, Michael. You know she’s gonna use this against you now.
クリミナルマインド(Criminal Minds)
Spencer Reid: These tattoos are like books on their skin gives their whole life story.
Josh Cramer: Well, these guys are nothing if not dedicated.
デスパレートな妻たち(Desperate Housewives)
Zach: Noah’s not gonna give me a dime if he knows it’s for you. He hates your guts.
Paul: Tell him it’s for you. Tell him you want a car. Tell him you’re ready for him to buy your love. Trust me, dying men are nothing if not sentimental.
