解説 (JP): これは「〜から判断すると」という意味で、ある事実や状況、観点に基づいて判断や結論を述べる際に使われます。\n\nCommon Mistakes:\n❌ にかけては: '〜にかけては' means 'when it comes to [skill]...' and is ALWAYS followed by a positive evaluation, like 'He is the best!' You can't use it for a harsh prediction like 'it will be difficult'!\n❌ に比べて: To use 'に比べて', there must be two things being compared (e.g., 'Compared to LAST year'). We only have the 'current situation' here!\n❌ を問わず: '状況を問わず' means 'Regardless of the situation'. This completely contradicts the fact that the speaker is strictly using the situation to make their harsh prediction!
