English (答え合わせ)

クマさん、答え合わせです!


I knew "Globish" with June 30, 2010 issue of magazine " Weekly TOYOKEIZAI" for the first time.


I first read about "Globish" in a magazine "Weekly Toyo Keizai," the issue of June 30th, 2010.

The first time I found the word "Globish" was in a magazine called "Weekly Toyo Keizai," the issue of June 30th, 2010.

クマさんの文章と、添削後の文章を読み比べてみてください。
どうちがうでしょう?

ポイントは2つです。

1.knew
know=知っている knew=知っていた
knowは状態動詞なので、「知った」と言いたいときには、
工夫が必要でしたよね。詳しくは、こちら  で復習してください。

2.伝えたい内容を意識して文章をつくる

下の3文は何が違うでしょう?

The first time I read about "Globish" was in a magazine called
"Weekly Toyo Keizai," the issue of June 30th, 2010.

並んでいる情報は変わりませんが、強調されるポイントがちがいます。
上の3文を答えにした質問文を思い浮かべると、分かりやすいかもしれません。

クマさんの文章でも伝わりますが、
最後まで読まないと、「ああ、初めて知ったときの話ね」と分からないので、
添削文では、最初にfirst を持ってきてみました。




After reading this one, as quick as lightning,
I gave a hoot about" Globish" becauae of my bitter experience.

たくさんのおもしろい表現をご存じですね!
ただ、not give a hootという否定形が一般的なスラングだとご存じでしたか?
I don't give a hoot. = I don't care at all.


hoot = フクロウの「フーッ」という鳴き声 (日本では「ホー」ですね)
ここから発展して、「野次、叫び声」「(俗に)面白いもの」という意味もあります。
英語のスラング説明サイト に、詳しくのっていました。

ちなみに、最近日本でもオープンした「Hooters」という
アメリカ発のレストランの名前も、このhootから来ています。
色んな意味があるので、よかったら調べてみてくださいね。

give a hoot = 興味がある、関心を示す
たしかに、そういう用法はありますが、カジュアルな場で、
すこし皮肉的なニュアンスをこめて使うことが多そうです。

正式な場所では、become interested in, get interested in のほうが良いと思います。

Globalization and Globish (答え合わせ)

クマさん! こんばんは。
答え合わせです。

Let me tell you about "Globish" and "Globalization"
I'd like to write about globalization of Japanese companies and importance of globish today.
クマさんの文でも良いのですが、せっかくなのでもう少し詳しく言ったほうが、
読む人に内容が伝わると思います。
.


Japan's Major e-commerce company Rakuten and leading apparel maker and retailer First Retailing (UNIQLO) announced that they had decided to switch their main language from Japanese to English.

Moreover, Japan's Major electric maker Sharp announced similar decision following 2 companies.
The Japanese gave many negative and positive opinions about their decision.

The true reason of their overseas advance is globalization.

Thomas L. Friedmen commented on globalization in his book" The World Is Flat".
He expounded on the nature of globalization is flattening of the world from the evolution of information technology. If all companies don't address the rapid globalization of today's world, they aren't full of hope for the future. Basic tool for communication of globalization is English.

In the field of linguistic point of view, the Japanese people still close the country to foreign world.
The Japanese get only a few benefit from the opportunities offered by globalization.

Certainly, It's true that the Japanese don't have a steep learning curve about speaking English like a native.
steep learning curve の意味をもう一度確認してみてください。画像検索してみると分かりやすいです。

下記の文のほうが、クマさんのおっしゃりたい意味に近いと思います。

These are so many Japanese feeling that English is too difficult to master.
Many Japanese people think it's impossible to become able to speak English like a native.


However, we have a hope!

Our only consolation is Globish!
唯一の慰めは・・・でも、面白いのですが、
solution (解決策)ではどうでしょう?

Jean-Paul Nerriere, a French executive who worked with the computer company IBM, defined Globish as a simplified form of English using only a 1500 word vocabulary and basic grammar.

Let's try to master Globish!


クマさん、こんなふうに、グロービッシュのことを
書いてくださってありがとうございます!
引用も交えてくださって、とても面白かったです。

Let's master Globish と言ってくださいますが、
クマさんは難しい単語に挑戦してくださることが多いですよね。笑

分からないことがあったら、まず調べてみて、
「なるほどー」と思うことも大切なことですよね。
クマさんは、最初の頃よりも、随分、
日本語にひっぱられないで英文を作ってくださるようになりました。
きっと、調べることを習慣にしてくださったからですね。

おつかれさまでした!!
