テーマ： 英語のお勉強日記(8385)
カテゴリ： 実践ビジネス英語
以前、家族でアメリカの国内線飛行機に乗ったとき、
全員靴をぬがされ、そしてダンナだけはチェックにひっかかり、
ガラス張りのブースに隔離されました。
190センチ以上はあるかと思われる黒人男性2人に囲まれ、
しつこく金属探知器とボディチェック。
言葉は全然通じているようでもなく、私たちはガラス越しに笑ってました。。。
Videoconferencing vs.Traveling(2)
The team talks about how, because videoconferencing hasn't lived up to the expectations people keep flying.
dubbed movies
dub [ （映画など）吹き替える。音響効果を加える、
=to give something or someone a name that describes them in some way
The verb "dub" in English basically means to add sound to a soundtrack or more broadly to transfer recorded material onto a new medium. "Dub" seems to be a shortened form of the word "double."
via
=travelling through a place on the way to another place
You might have noticed we are using two pronunciations for the word "v-i-a," "ヴァイア" or "ヴィア." People pronounce it both ways. I think I'm more familiar with "ヴィア" although in the dictionary "ヴァイア"is listed first, which usually means it's the more common pronunciation.
*Longmanでは発音表記は両方ありましたが、音声はAE BEとも"ヴァイア"のみでした。
thumbs-down [ 拒絶
give thumbs-down 拒否する、反対する(反)give thumbs-up
the thumbs up/down(LDOCE)
=when an idea or plan is officially accepted or not accepted
The phrase "thumbs-down" nowadays means "disapproval" or "something you don't like" or "something that's bad." "Thumbs-up" means "it's good" or "you approve it" or "you are saying OK."
hassle [ 面倒なこと、(同）
trouble, fuss
=something that is annoying, because it causes problems or is difficult to do:
shuck [ ～の殻を取る、〔衣服を〕脱ぐ、取り除く
=to take off a piece of clothing:
Usually people say "take off your shoes." In this case, Cortez uses the verb "shuck." Usually "shuck" means "take off" a husk or a shell from fruits or vegetables or the shells of oysters, for example. But it can also be used to take off almost anything. It means "remove
something" or "cast it off." There's another word, "shucks," which people use to express mild disappointment.
head-to -foot 頭の先からつま先まで
pat-down [ 衣服の上をたたいて行う）ボディチェック、身体検査
shakedown [ 徹底的な検査
=a thorough search of a place or a person
"Shakedown" is really very casual or even slang for a careful
search. It's used not only for people, you can also "shake down" someone's apartment. And it's also used to mean bribery, demanding that someone pay you money so that you'll leave them alone.
Daily Quiz
jerky [ ぎくしゃくした
=jerky movements are rough, with many starts and stops
You may have also heard of "beef jerky." In this case, the word "jerky" comes from a different source. It's from Spanish, used in the U.S., for meat that is cut into strips and dried or smoked.
