パレスチナ問題を知る良質なドキュメンタリーを紹介しましょう

YouTubeパレスチナイスラエル歴史を学ぼうと思ったら、英語検索するに限る。

(本当はアラビア語ヘブライ語もわかれば最善なのかもしれないけど、ハードルが高すぎる)


ここ数日でたくさんたくさん視聴したので、中でも良質なものを紹介していきたい。

(実際に動画を見ずとも、紹介文だけでも読んでって)


歴史

1920年パレスチナ: もう一方のパレスチナ人の物語 (字幕なし)

Al Jazeera English - Palestine 1920: The Other Side of the Palestinian Story | Al Jazeera World Documentary (47:17)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUCeQt8zg5o

アルジャジーラによる、パレスチナ人の近代史

今でもユダヤが盛んに引用する、かつてのスローガン土地のない人々のための、人々のいない土地 (A land without a people for a people without a land)」は、シオニストによる幻想である、というのが動画主題だろう。パレスチナ健全経済活動が発展していた証として、1934年地元アラビア語新聞で「鉄道が5分遅れた」ことが報道されているというのが興味深い。

また、「パレスチナ人は国家を持ったことがない」との主張もよく見られるが、それには「今のイスラエルがしているような土地の奪取や抑圧がなかったからだ」という反論もまた定番で、この動画内でもオスマン帝国時代パレスチナ議席を持っていたことが紹介されている。


イスラエル - 国家誕生 (公式英語字幕あり = 自動翻訳日本語字幕に切り替えても精度が高い)

DW Documentary - Israel - Birth of a state | DW Documentary (51:56)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4upvoxP9-kg

11月11日現在動画が非公開になっている。直前までTwitter言及があるので、ごく最近に非公開になったばかりか?ただしチャンネル内のイスラエル関連の動画全体が非公開になっているわけではなく、批判的な内容の動画も残されている。→DW Documentary - Israel Palestine

ドイツ公共放送DWによる、ユダヤ入植者から見た歴史

イスラエル建国イギリスによるお墨付きとしたバルフォア宣言の、但し書きとも言える「もちろん、パレスチナにもともと住んでいる非ユダヤ人の市民的・宗教的権利侵害されるべきではないことは明白である」という一節が、現代にむなしく響いている。

ドイツならホロコーストへの負い目があってもおかしくないとも思えるが、番組としてはユダヤ人のシオニズム批判であるもっとも、「ユダヤ人の排斥」という共通の関心の元に、パレスチナナチスドイツに親交があったという歴史の側面も紹介されている。

なお、動画の公開は今年の5月だったが、ハマスの奇襲攻撃を受けてなのか10月13日動画タイトルが「Birth of a state (国家誕生)」からStory of a contested country (論争を呼ぶ国の物語)」に替えられたあと、10月20日にふたたび元に戻されたという経緯があるようだ。


ヨルダン川西岸地区へのイスラエル人の入植

どうしてイスラエル入植者紛争であることを気に留めないのか (公式英語字幕あり)

Vox - Why Israeli settlements don’t feel like a conflict zone | Settlements Part II (10:56)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6L9mS9ti6o

アメリカ新興メディアVoxによる、今も進むイスラエル人による西岸地区への入植の解説当事者インタビュー

大きく分けて、イスラエル政府やアメリカ資本支援を受けた大規模な入植事業によるものと、宗教的信念に駆り立てられた個人家族レベル草の根入植が同時に進んでいる。エルサレムを含む西岸地区全体が「神が我々に与えた土地なのだ」という理念が、世俗的な入植動機の建て前としても、シオニズム信奉者の原理主義としても、お上から下々まで一貫していることに恐怖さえ感じる。


エルサレムを巡る戦いの内実 (公式日本語字幕あり)

VICE News - Inside the Battle for Jerusalem (20:30)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiSRCPiklhI

アメリカ新興メディアVICEによる、エルサレムにおける強権的な入植活動実態

いわゆる「入植地」とは違って、エルサレムにおいては一軒一軒の家単位での入植が進んでいる。一等地にはパレスチナ人に対して大金提示することもあるようだが、この動画で紹介されているのは、入植者に都合よく作られた法律軍隊に守られて、パレスチナ人を追い出してユダヤ人が住み着いてしまという事例。

イスラエル側の副市長が、悪びれもせず「(イスラム聖地である)岩のドームのある場所に、(ユダヤの悲願である)エルサレムの第三神殿を建てるのが夢だ、我々の世代のうちに」と語っている。


パレスチナ人の暮らし

聖地: イスラエルパレスチナ今日 (公式英語字幕あり)

Rick Steves' Europe - Rick Steves' The Holy Land: Israelis and Palestinians Today (56:46)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg1unr6eNpQ

ヨーロッパを中心に各国を旅する人気番組。この回では現代イスラエルパレスチナの各地を訪れ、ガイド地元の人々との会話を交えながら、歴史文化を紹介している。

近代戦争歴史ヨルダン川西岸地区での入植や抑圧の問題にもしっかり触れているが、全体としてはイスラエルパレスチナの人々の活気にあふれた明るい側面を見せてくれる点で、YouTubeの中では貴重な資料しかしいっぽうで、このイスラエルパレスチナ回だけコメント欄が閉じられているのは、動画に暗い影を落としている。


イスラエルアパルトヘイトが、いかにして私の故郷破壊したのか (公式英語字幕あり)

AJ+ - How Israeli Apartheid Destroyed My Hometown (23:53)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEdGcej-6D0

アルジャジーラによる2022年のドキュメンタリーパレスチナ出身の父を持つアメリカ育ちの二世ジャーナリストが、イスラエル隔離政策のせいで変わり果ててしまった父の故郷を訪ねる話。

イスラエルの元軍人の助けを借りて「パレスチナ人立ち入り制限区域」を歩くが、パレスチナ人に対するイスラエル入植者駐留イスラエル軍の露悪的なふるまいは、過去ユダヤ人や黒人に対する差別迫害のものウイグルにも近いと感じる。


パレスチナ暫定首都市長と会おう (ドキュメンタリー映画) (英語字幕ありだがYouTube字幕ではないので日本語翻訳にはできない)

VICE News - Meet the Mayor of the Unofficial Capital of Palestine (Full Documentary) | The Short List (2:13:43)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDvOnhssTcc

2020年公開の、パレスチナの暫定首都であるラマラの市長の日々に密着したドキュメンタリー映画。本編は1時間30分で、残り40分は監督インタビュー

文化的で明るく楽しい街の一面もたくさん紹介されていて、イスラエル軍による監視や抑圧と自治権移動の自由制限さえなければ、よい街のよい市長だったはずだろう。市役所幹部には女性も多く、先に紹介した旅番組でもパレスチナ大学女子学生のほうが多いと語られていたが、日本より女性社会進出している感がある。

オスマン帝国時代法律のなごりで、イスラム教徒が多数派の中にあって市長キリスト教徒と定められているというのも興味深い。(もともとはオスマン帝国時代からキリスト教徒多数派の街だったらしい)

なお、本題とは関係ないが、映画内の音楽武満徹芸能山城組による日本の曲が多用されていて、特に脈絡もなく日本語の子守歌が流れてきた(30:32)のには驚いた。


ちょっと世界一周してくる。by nojiken - #115【現在進行中の悲劇パレスチナで何が起こっているか僕が見たことを伝えたいと思いますパレスチナ問題はとても根深いです。(エルサレムベツレヘムヘブロン / イスラエルパレスチナ) (30:25)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9TvfK15k-Y

貴重な日本語動画も1つ紹介しておく。

動画自体2020年の公開だが、前半は歴史解説で、後半は本人による2013年のヨルダン川西岸地区への旅行体験記。イスラエル軍に抑圧された厳しい環境下のパレスチナ人の一般家庭に泊めてもらったりしていて日本人のふつう観光YouTuberの動画とは一線を画している。


まとめ

欧米は親イスラエルだと思われるだろうけど、実際、YouTube上で「再生回数順」で検索する限りは、パレスチナに寄り添った動画のほうがずっと多い

数少ないイスラエル寄りの動画は総じて、聖書2000-3000年前の歴史に触れたあとはパレスチナアラブを悪や下に見ることに主眼が置かれていて、もっとユダヤ人の悲しい歴史や難しい立場で同情を誘うほうが戦略としても優れるのではないかと思うのだが、そうした意味でのプロパガンダにはイスラエルとして興味がないか成功しているとは言えない。

なお、聖書を持ち出すのは非キリストのイチ日本人としては全く理解できないどころか、2000年掛けの土地所有権の主張にはどん引きさえするのだが、イスラエルを支持するアメリカキリスト福音派に対してはこういう話が最も好まれるようだ。なのでこの点は戦略としては正しいのかもしれない。

いっぽう、パレスチナの側は、古い映像では聖戦の主張や過激言動が目立っていたが、2004年にPLO議長アラファトからアッバスに替わったあたりからは、PLOファタハはもちろんハマスからさえ、宗教的な主張はほとんど聞かれなくなり、抑圧から解放自由を主眼に訴えるようになってきている。どれほど意図しているのかはわからないが、これは第三者(特にイスラム圏)の同情を得るという意味では、戦略としてとても成功しているように思う。

しかイスラエルに対してミサイルを撃ち込み続けるハマスも、精度が悪いとはいえ目標軍事施設に限ることはどうしてできないのだろうか。民間人を狙うことの効果が、差し引きでプラスになるとはとても思えないのだが…。

LGBTQA+っていう生物はいません

LGBTQA+はキリスト教の枠組みの延長の話。宗教がまだ地域コミュニティ絶対の影響を持つ国や地域なら、

こういう種類の人間もいる、この人物は神の教えに背いてはいない、神はミスおかしはいないを積極的に明示していかないと、

家族と絶縁どころか地域全体から村八分、なんだったら自称伝統を守る人から物理攻撃を喰らう危険性があるので、

マイノリティの身心の安全を守るためにLGBTQA+を浸透させるは大切なことなんだね

・彼はプライドが高い

自らをどう評価しているか尊いものだと感じているかどうかを外から測れるか?近いのは自己肯定感とか自己評価であって、ちゃんとその意味で使われている例をまず見かけない。

 ← え? 自己肯定感自己評価なら外から測れるのか? 「彼はうぬぼれている」とか「彼は自己評価が低いとか」は?

それはそうと、「彼はプライドが高い」みたいな言い方は英語でも普通にするぞ。 

She has too much pride to accept any help.

プライドが傷ついた

自分を尊んでいるなら傷云々はないだろ。持つ持たないだろ?内面的心情や評価を表しているんだからさ。

やれやれ反論できないか英語マウント取るしかないとか情けねえな

I looked through the state of the union you mentioned but it's actually a lot more informal than you made it out to be. I thought you were talking about a full fledged formal writing like legal documents, but this is definitely nowhere close to that. I can see why Biden used "going to" in this speech since it's fairly colloquial (though not over the top, just the right amount of colloquial language so the entire nation can understand it without difficulty) and thus falls well within the semantic range of the phrase "going to".

As my Dad used to say, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect. It’s about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, “Honeyit’s going to be OK,” and mean it.

Also

I write more in English than Japanese. Have been for over 10 years.

Yet you've made a basic grammar mistake here, oh well : "some people take being proficient in one language not being in another"

Should've written like this "some people are proficient in one language but not in another"

anond:20230806031852

The fact you speak more definitively in a formal setting, and the fact "going to" is informal (or not) are 2 different things. Cambridge dictionary is correct in that "going to" is used in more informal setting. It's that YOU are reading it wrong. It is not an informal expression. And by the way, some people take being proficient in one language not being in another, but they can actually co-exist. I write more in English than Japanese. Have been for over 10 years.

Compete? For what?

You are the only one who wouldn't be understood or be laughed at for your *unique English.

No one has to compete for that, don't you think?

Again, your view, expressed in your very own English is, a bit wierd.

anond:20230803021316

"An" easy structure.

Good try, but your English sounds a bit weird overall.

Concensus isn't something to be "scheduled", IMHO.

逢魔が時

Twilight

Dusk: Before Night Falls.

the time of evils

Witching Hour

this word for twilight is literally “the time that demons meet,” similar to the english “witching hour”

Trivia: 'The Witching Hour' is a rough translation I've seen used elsewhere. 'Ouma ga Toki' refers to the period of time wherein evening switches to night.

原文

Japan review

Japan review it's been a year since I

moved to Japan and I thought it made

sense to finally rate Japan I will talk

about things I like and the things I

don't like which seems to be the only

two options available if you have

opinions about this country

so sugoi or did you know Japan is

actually really bad it's got a lot of

survival issues okay I will list one

good thing and bad thing and I will not

hold back there's no trash bins

where I'm gonna put my trash

I have to put in my pocket

oh

there's always these generic things that

you hear or yes when we you visit it's

kind of weird but then you realize it's

not a big deal anyway let's start off

with number one reason I like Japan

it feels like a giant playground no I

don't mean in the Logan Paul kind of

sense of doing whatever the hell you

want

but rather there's a infinite things all

right lazy feels like to explore and

experience and I've been here a year now

and I don't think I'm gonna get bored

anytime soon although I am having a

child so I don't know how much more I

have time to experience

but it really feels like a whole new

world and if you visited you can

probably relate to it and I'm glad that

even a year in it still feels incredibly

fresh and I even would say that you

realize that the best part of Japan

aren't the touristy places kind of

obviously but there are so many areas

that I found that I really enjoy

visiting and this is probably more

specific to me but you know Tokyo is

very busy and so many times I just catch

myself surrounded by what feels like

hundreds of people and they have no idea

who I am

everyone is just doing their own thing

and that feels so [ __ ] good

now once it was staring at me no one's

following me no one's being weird you

guys are weird and I'm just kidding I

just love the feeling of being able to

exist in public and uh not worrying

about what everyone else is doing like

I've said this before but I genuinely

enjoy talking to fans or when people

approach me it always makes me happy but

it can be kind of frustrating to always

wanting to just do your own thing and

always be

you know so yeah let's move on to the

bad things of Japan number one reason

Japan is bad it's kind of a heavy

subject and I haven't seen anyone else

really talk about it it's not brought up

very often at least and that is cones

there's too many cones in Japan once you

see it you cannot unsee it they're

everywhere they say oh Japan has so many

vending machines there's like five per

one person no the opposite

there's more cones than people why are

there so many cones I need to know we

got the tall ones we got the small ones

we got the funny ones the cute ones the

sexy ones I do like those I just don't

understand that whoever plays these

cones think I'm just gonna barge through

oh thank God there's cones here

otherwise I had no idea what I was gonna

and I realized the cone history of Japan

stretches centuries okay if you played

Animal Crossing sometimes it's a

Japanese game so sometimes you get these

items right you're like oh that's kind

of weird I don't know exactly what that

is but it's probably something Japanese

and then you get the bamboo thing and

you're like what the hell is that what

am I even gonna do with that and then

you see it in real life here in Japan

you're like holy [ __ ] it's a cone that's

a cone they're everywhere

I feel like they are following me

I'm glad I was able to talk about this

I'm for one and willing to call out

Japan knock it off man no more cones

there's enough cones let me tell you

something even better than cones you may

have noticed new merch finally it's been

forever my mom came over she had

unofficial merge because I literally

have no other merch I've hadn't hadn't

merch I'm sorry Mom so we spruced up the

logo got a cool back design the team

that worked on it really truly

understand how my brand and I think they

did such a good job these pieces look

amazing and I think you guys are gonna

really like them as well these are

available for limited time only so make

sure you order now so excited to finally

have this merch available thanks to

amaze for making this happen we are

gonna have one piece that will stay on

the store so my mom will not buy the

wrong merch but for a limited time that

piece will be available in this color

off-white kind of color it looks really

nice and then after that you can still

get it but not in this color that's

you want this one yeah I get it

so yeah check that out if you're

interested I'm so happy about these

designs and I hope you guys would like

them as well all right reason number two

I like Japan yay when we first announced

that we were gonna move to Japan there

was so many people just saying how bad

Japan is actually did you know Japan is

really bad did you know this I have to

list all these reasons now because

everyone is like thing and then thing

Japan ah so I have to tell them and I

it's actually but one thing in

particular that people said was that old

people really don't like foreigners they

hate them so when I was gonna stop by to

say hi to our neighbors who was a little

older at least some of them I was

terrifying I heard all these stories you

know like what are they gonna do to us

so I had my guard up ready for the worst

and I was met with nothing but kindness

and welcoming and I felt like a total

dick for having this preconceived ideas

thanks to other people

and just a side comment like yes there

are definitely probably people that

don't like foreigners and all that stuff

but I realized I should let my own

experience is dictate how I feel about

certain things maybe that's just

ignoring a problem I don't know it just

feels like it's a bad way to approach

life if you always have a negative

expectation you know it's smiling people

may Smile Back

smiled back

thank you sometimes they don't and

that's okay you know anyway my point

being Japanese people are very in my own

experience

are very nice and friendly the majority

at least and yes even to foreigners I

feel like they are especially nice to

foreigners because they think we're like

a kid lost at Disneyland or something

I just asked for directions I didn't

need you to walk me for half an hour to

this specific place I was going but

thank you I appreciate it a lot of times

I go bouldering alone and there's always

other groups of people being supportive

and yelling like I'm about there like go

you can do it I love it I think it's

great you know or if you're small

talking with people people generally

want to communicate with you and I love

having those moments but of course

there's times where people are like oh

you're a foreigner I don't feel like

even trying

which again it's fine speaking of which

reason I don't like Japan number two

their language

I have lived here for a year and I'm not

fluent in Japanese

I am dumb I am very dumb I remember the

moment we moved here I had studied some

Japanese and I was like

Let's test out this knowledge that I

have acquired let's go I'm just gonna

come in it's gonna be dangerous and you

enter a store for the first time and

they're like

what

what oh

what the classic the most common

experiences that you have aren't

necessarily what you're taught in the

textbook yay I know I think that's the

same for anyone learning a language for

the first time but don't even get me

started on the kanji main what the [ __ ]

is this I feel like Japanese is such a

hard language obviously but I don't

think people realize how hard it is at

least me personally because the more you

learn the more you realize you don't

know [ __ ]

for English speakers Japanese is

considered one of the most difficult

languages and because it's just so

different I listed it as bad because

that was my first kind of experience

with it coming here but the more I

interact with people the more it feels

like I'm unlocking new skills you know

oh I made a phone call for the first

time oh I could ask someone over the

phone I know big deal but it's like oh I

can actually do that or even just having

a small tiny yes shittiest conversation

with a stranger it's still something and

it feels good you start to all of a

sudden understand you know a movie if

you're watching oh I understand actually

what's going on here or I can play games

and kind of get what this they're saying

I have to look up words obviously but to

me all those new experiences that it

unlocks to me is very rewarding even

though it's such a challenge I would

actually now say it's a good thing I

played it on its head it was a good

thing all along but I obviously have a

long [ __ ] way to go

and it just I don't think it will damage

time reason number three I like Japan

this is nothing to do with Japan to say

it's more related to me taking a more

relaxed approach to YouTube for my

entire 20s I did nothing but YouTube

that was my life and that's okay but I

also think it was a little toxic

probably you know if I wasn't making

videos I sure as hell was thinking about

making videos I uploaded videos during

our honeymoon

and it feels really good to finally be

free from it you know and I can discover

other things in life there are other

things in life

a new hobbies and interest that I've

always wanted to do I can do and have so

much fun with it surfing I know I would

love for the longest time and I finally

get to do it and it's so [ __ ] amazing

I love learning new things anything that

isn't necessarily connected to all of

this on the internet and that is

something I'm very very grateful that I

discovered so yeah it's not really Japan

I could have done that anywhere but it's

largely why I enjoyed so much here

reason I don't like Japan number three

this is probably the most trickiest one

and it's the rules what are the rules

Japan has so many rules and it's a bit

conflicting for me to complain about

because a lot of the best stuff about

Japan not the best stuff but a lot of

the reasons why Japan works so well is

because of the rules you know the trains

are always on time things just work in

general it's hard to explain the streets

are clean people aren't loud in public

and so on and these are sort of societal

rules that make it happen more or less

but sometimes There are rules that just

don't make any sense and I have no

problem following rules as long as I

understand the reason for it you know

don't talk on the phone on the train

because it's generally annoying when

other people do that to you A lot of it

is just be thoughtful of other people

it's not just about you and that just

makes it more pleasant for everyone but

one rule is especially which I talked

about before is the fact that because of

kovid I'm not allowed to be in the

delivery room for our baby for more than

two hours that's because of covered

rules it just doesn't make sense to me

and I tell people about this like uh

family and friends and they're always

like well why don't you just ask them or

like why don't you talk to them I'm sure

you can there's got to be somewhere and

it's like no it's Japan okay there are

rules and people follow the rules for

better or worse you know so the more I

time I spend Permalink | 記事への反応(0) | 01:06

3. Choose your words wisely; AKA consider what is SEXY

"Wriggling" is a pretty standard translation of 藻掻く but in English it's associated with worms. WORMS! 🪱 "Undulating" is much nicer. e.g. A pussy doesn't wriggle, it undulates or ripples, or it convulses around his cock.

A woman doesn't wriggle her hips, she bucks them or she writhes. Your MC doesn't rock his hips he thrusts or pumps or rides. His hips aren't "moving on their own" he "can't control himself".

「もがく、身悶えする」はふつう"Wriggling"と訳されるが、これは虫を連想させるのでダメ。"Undulating"のほうがよい。

まんこがうねる」と言いたいときも、wriggleではなく、undulate や ripple

あるいは"it convulses around his cock."

同様に、女が尻をくねらせるとき wriggle her hips とは言わない。she bucks them or she writhesなどと言う。

男が腰を振るときrock his hipsではなくhe thrusts or pumps or rides

意識的に腰を振るのではなく自分コントロールできず振ってしまう感が大事

Sometimes a woman's skin may be described as 白魚. This is sexy in the original cultural and linguistic context. In many English-speaking cultures, fish are used for negative comparisons. Something like translucent or dewy would be an appropriate equivalent.

In JP a man going wild during sex is often likened to a monkey, but this has a more comical sound in English, where comparisons to simply a "wild animal" work better.

女の肌を「白魚」と形容することがあるが、英語では魚はネガティブ意味合いになってしま

translucent (透き通るような)やdew(つややかな)と言い換えると良い

また、激しいセックス最中、「猿のように」と形容することがあるが、英語ではコミカルに響いてしまうのでwild animal野生動物、獣)などと言いかえるとよい

Consider the virgin "He put his penis in her vagina" vs the chad "He slid his cock into her pussy".

These sentences describe the same action, but one says "I fuck" and the other says "I've only ever seen sex in the bio textbooks my model was trained on".

On the other hand, don't throw in porny words where there shouldn't be any; if your heroine is a shy virgin and the source text is using coy words like あそこ, don't have her shouting FUCK MY TIGHT LITTLE PUSSY in English.

挿入するシーンでは

"He put his penis in her vagina"

とするのではなく、

"He slid his cock into her pussy".

と訳すべき

後者は「ヤる」という感じだが、前者は「私はAIなので性行為については生物学教科書知識しかありません」みたいに聞こえてしま

とはいえヒロインシャイ処女で、「あそこ」と控えめに言っているのに”FUCK MY TIGHT LITTLE PUSSY”(私のキツキツオマンコを犯して!)などと絶叫させてはいけない

henyaで学ぶ英会話

Henya Accidentally Reveals She Has Kids...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8n_bu1hQF0&ab_channel=ClipChama

この切り抜き動画の中で、Henyaは隣に住む家族あいさつしたことを話しているのだが

その中でHenyaは、"They are so nice. They have kids as well."と発言

何の変哲もない文章に見えるが、実はこの発言のせいで「Henya子持ち疑惑」が生まれしまった

どういうことかと言うと、Henya自身は「隣の人たちはすごくいい人たちだったし、"しかも"子供もいるんだよ」というつもりで発言したのだが(as well は両方の文に掛かっている)

as well が They have kids だけに掛かっていると捉えると、

「彼ら"にも"子供がいる → Henya"にも"子供がいる」

解釈できてしまうという話

Henyaはその後「ごめんなさい、英語が下手でたまに変なことを言っちゃうんだ」と弁明したのだが、では本当にHenyaの英語が間違っていたのだろうか?

コメント欄の指摘によれば、実は問題ないのだという。

as well は「明示された情報」にも「言外の情報」に対しても使用でき、明示された情報(彼らはとてもいい人たち / 彼らは子供がいる)を繋ぐこともできれば、言外の情報(Henyaには子供がいる / 彼らには子供がいる)を繋ぐこともできるという。

今回の場合文脈から考えて前者のほうが自然から、Henyaの英語問題ないということらしい。

なお、Henyaが本当に子持ちかどうかはジョークで流されてしまったので真相不明である

Actually, her sentence wasn't that wrong. "They are so nice. They have kids as well." Grammatically it's not entirely wrong. "As Well" can depend on given information as well as inferred information. In this case she was clearly stating that they are nice and they have kids. The chat inferred that Henya was saying "They have kids (as I do), which really wasn't part of the conversation or immediate subject and thus the inference is imagined rather than implied. It's a nuance of English that can result in a formal speech tone playing out differently if taken as casual.

Yep exactly. Her English was actually fine. She was talking about how she felt awkward due to being caught off guard by them being outgoing and friendly. In that context the kids were mentioned as a contributing factor to her awkwardness and their pleasant and energetic greetings.

Yeah, in this case, the sentence would be the same as saying "They are so nice. Additionally, they have kids."



  • まとめ

"They are so nice. They have kids as well."という文は、文脈次第では

「彼らはすごくいい人たちだし、しか子供もいる」

「彼らはすごくいい人たちだし、私と同じように子供がいる」

のどちらにも解釈できる。

英検準一級に落ちた

英検SCBTという1日で受けれるヤツをやった。

最初スピーキングマイクに吹き込む)、次にリスニングヘッドホン装着)、最後リーディングライティング

結果はスピーキングだけ基準クリア合格

でも他はボロボロ英検二級は簡単に受かったから次は準一級頑張るぞー、くらいの気持ちで受けたら全然難しくてビックリした。

 

調べてみたら英検二級はTOEIC換算で550くらい、準一級で785点くらいらしい。

そりゃ難しいわ……こちとら最後に受けたTOEIC400点やぞ……でも成長はしてるっぽいから嬉しい。

ライティング勉強がてら、同じ内容を英語で書いてみるか。

I had taken the Eiken SCBT test because it takes one day.

First is the speaking part(speaking for the mic)

Second is the listening part(Wearing the headphone)

The last two are the reading part and the writing part.

I passed only the speaking part as the result.

However, I bombed other parts so badly.

I could pass the Grade 2 easily then I assumed I can pass Grade Pre-1 it, but it was really difficult for me.

According the result of Google, Eiken Grade 2 is about 550 of TOEIC and Pre-1 is about 785 of TOEIC.

No wonder... My TOEIC score was 400... However, I am glad because my EN skill grows that I felt,

As a practice of my studying English of the writing, I tried to write this diary in English.

英語なんて勉強して何の役に立つの

個別指導系の塾バイトやってた時に生徒にそんな事言われたんだよね

彼は学校では「can」意味学習してる辺りだったんだが

「I can not speak English.」程度の文章理解するのを拒絶した

英語が喋れない事すら英語圏の人に伝えられなくなるよ」って言っても

日本語しか喋らない時点で伝わるよ」「翻訳アプリ使えばいいじゃん」って言われた

それもそうかもしれないと彼の言い分を聞いて思ってしまった

まぁ確かに英語喋れないって英語で喋るのは意味不明だよな…

世間ではよく「数学が何の役に立つ」「古文漢文が何の役に立つ」なんて言われがちだけど

そもそもその手の疑いなんてあらゆる知識に対して出来るって事を皆もっと認識した方がいいと思う

数学古文漢文と違ってコレは役に立つよって誰かが挙げる知識ホントに全人類に役立つ知識なんて無い

そこまで考えてしまうほど英語勉強を拒絶する生徒の話は強烈だった

まぁ単に勉強したくないだけだろうけど!

英単語意味だけでも覚えてって自作英単語リストを渡したけど

彼が覚えてくれてるかは自信は無い
