母(も)屋(や)

母屋(おもや)に家(か)族(ぞく)が集(あつ)まった。

• The family gathered in the central room of the house.

祖(そ)父(ふ)母(ぼ)は母屋(おもや)に住(す)んでいます。

• My grandparents live in the main house.

少(すこ)しでも親(しん)切(せつ)をすると、すぐに調(ちょう)子(し)に乗(の)ってくる。本(ほん)当(とう)に庇(ひさし)を貸(か)して母屋(おもや)を取(と)られるようなものだ。

• If you show even the slightest kindness, they immediately take advantage of you. It's truly like lending someone an umbrella only to have them take your entire house.

会(かい)社(しゃ)で新(あたら)しいプロジェクトを手(て)伝(つだ)ったら、評(ひょう)価(か)を奪(うば)われた。本(ほん)当(とう)に庇(ひさし)を貸(か)して母屋(おもや)を取(と)られる気(き)分(ぶん)だ。

• When I helped with a new project at work, my credit was stolen. I feel like I've been completely taken advantage of after trying to help.

彼(かれ)は新(あたら)しい同(どう)僚(りょう)を助(す)けようとしたが、結(けっ)局(きょく)、自(じ)分(ぶん)の仕(し)事(ごと)まで奪(うば)われてしまった。まさに庇(ひさし)を貸(か)して母屋(おもや)を取(と)られるような状(じょう)況(きょう)だ。

• He tried to help his new colleague, but in the end, even his own work was taken away from him. It is truly a situation where he ended up losing everything while trying to help.
