for every timeを使った「その都度一円ずつ貯めたら、、、今頃大金持ちだ」という構文があります。つまり今までに何度も何度も繰り返されたもういい加減にしてくれ、、、くらいの心情を吐露したい時に使われます。if I had a nickel for every time で始まりますが、どのようにも言えます。日本語でも「解散の『か』の字もない」「反省の『は』の字もない」のようにいくらでも応用の利く言い方があるのと同じです。2:50 and if I had a nickel (for every time) I would say anecdotally that in my lifetime when someone said to me the current president in office whoever that may be is the worst President ever, I would be a rich man. 面白い話として、もし現職大統領が歴代で最悪な奴だと誰かが言う度に私が5 セントずつ貯めていれば、私は今頃お金持ちになっているよ。つまり、、、現職大領領が最悪といわれるのはいつの時代でも変わらない、、、の意味です。
