つづりがあるのに発音しない文字

解説
leaving for : 「for」は「まだ見えないもの」を対象にしている。leave for Hong Kongは「Hong Kong(にまだいっていない)へ向かう」というニュアンス
forget to bring : 「to bring」の不定詞は「未来」を表しており、「(これから)持ってくることを忘れないように」となる。
これに対してforget bringingと動名詞になると、動名詞は時間の制約を受けず過去のことも表すので、「(もう)持ってきたことをわすれないように」となる。
Nice to meet you は「はじめまして、よろしく」と「会った時の挨拶」だがNice meeting youは「お会いできてよかったです」と「会った後に別れるときの挨拶」になる。
expire : exは「外へ」pireは「spirit」で「魂が外にでてしまう」転じて「期限がきれる」
inspireはinが「内へ」なので、転じて「発奮する」という意味になる。
