使い分け解説:
- 具申: 目上の人に対して、具体的な事実や意見、計画などを詳しく述べること。単なる報告ではなく、多くの場合、何らかの提案や進言を伴います。ビジネスシーンでよく使われます。
- 斯く斯く: Used to refer to details that are omitted or to avoid repeating a lengthy explanation, similar to saying 'blah blah blah' but in a more formal context, or indicating a detailed account without actually providing it. (具体的な内容を省略したり、長い説明を繰り返すのを避けたりする際に使われます。「あれやこれやと」というニュアンスで、詳細な説明があったことを示唆します。)
