Shizuoka governor to resign after gaffe insulting vegetable sellers
SHIZUOKA The governor of Shizuoka Prefecture said Tuesday he will resign amid backlash over a gaffe saying civil servants being inducted into the prefectural government were intelligent people, "unlike those who sell vegetables."
Gov Heita Kawakatsu told reporters he intends "to step down following the June prefectural assembly" after making the remarks during a roughly 20-minute address to the new employees the previous day.
Kawakatsu had said during the address that "everyone here is a brainy and intelligent person, unlike those who sell vegetables, take care of cows or create things."
He also told the incoming civil servants to remain honest, watch their language, and that it was "important to be compassionate and stick to your beliefs."
Kawakatsu has earned a reputation for gaffes since he first became governor in 2009. In 2021, the assembly advised him to resign after he said the central Japan prefecture's city of Gotemba "only has koshihikari," or a type of rice, as its local specialty.
Last month, he was criticized for ranking regions within his prefecture based on how "cultured" they are.
新規採用職員に関連しての表現，be inducted intoはご存知のことと思います。これは職員として認める，「就任させる」という意味です。in+ductという語源からもこれは分かりますね。
Cambrdige Dictionaries では，"to introduce someone formally or with a special ceremony to an organization or group, or to beliefs or ideas"と定義されています。formally が決め手でフォーマルな表現です。辞令をもらうようなレベルの「加入」に用いられて，join や enter などとは違うことをチェックしてください。
ちなみにこの辞書には；Li Xiannian was inducted into the Politburo in 1956.というものすごい例文があります。そろそろ，新しい文と差し替えたらいいのに...（UG）
