go part way
Dear Amy: My wife is an outdoor enthusiast who loves to hike. I enjoy it as well, but have some health issues that limit me to shorter hikes.
Recently, she has reconnected with an old college friend. I've met him and his wife a few times. They've stayed with us, and we've stayed with them. The few times we've gotten together, the other three always want to go for an extended hike that is too difficult for me to participate in, so I'm left to sit at home by myself.
I feel this is incredibly rude. My wife says that just because I can't join in is no reason for the rest of them to not do what they want to do.
When you are with a group, you should find activities that all can do without excluding someone. There are lots of things we could do instead of hiking.
I don't really know her friends well, and what would be a good opportunity to get to know them better is wasted while I sit at home alone.
What do you and your readers think?
-- Feeling Left Out
Dear Feeling: Of course, you should all compromise on some activities when you're together -- but I do believe that the avid hikers should also be free to engage in their pursuit.
You can be generous toward them, or you can sit home and sulk. You choose.
You could go part way with the group, and then return to wherever you are staying to prepare a good meal for the rest of the hikers when they get back.
go part wayはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

ありがとうございました。公開当時見逃して、その後も見る機会がなく、ジーン・ケリー ファンの私としては残念で気にしていたのですが・・・先日ビデオを手に入れたのです。市販されたことがない、とのことだったので、半信半疑だったのですが、たしかにそれらしく、しかし私は見ていないので絶対そうともいえず、教えを請うたわけです。 たしかにおっしゃるとうりのスタッフ キャストでストーリーもそのとうりです。画面は綺麗で音もよく、ただ、どういう筋の物かはわかりません。でも、本物とわかってとてもうれしいです。 心からお礼申し上げます。
