さてさて、今回はいつもと違うスタイルでいってみましょう。
英語を勉強していると、英語のようで英語でなかったり、日本語のようで英語だったりと意外な発見があったりしますね。
今日はそんなお話です。
さて、いきなりクイズです。
次の3つの中で、英語はどれでしょうか?
1.アドリブ
2.ジグザグ
3.シャーペン
答えは・・・
1番と2番です!
1.アドリブは、「ad-lib(ad lib)」 と書いて、動詞や形容詞として使います。
例) That was an ad-lib. : それはアドリブだよ。
2.ジグザグは、「zigzag」 と書きます。
zigzag course (ジグザグコース)などといった形容詞のみの用法だけでなく、名詞、動詞としても活用します。
で、3番の シャーペン、これは日本語です。
日本の会社、あのSHARPの発明品なので、そのまま「シャーペン」となりました。
ちなみに英語では、mechanical pencil と言います。
アナタは正解できましたか? (^_-)
Have a nice one!
どれが英語???

Sounds like that a lot of things happened to you last year; good things and bad things...
However, everything can cultivate and nourish you.
That's why life is beautiful.
