Blogosphere(6) Friday, November 25


*Talk

S: Chris, we talked about blogosphere composed of blogs and bloggers.

C: Hmm.

S: Now some of my friends become bloggers, uh..

C: Oh, yeah.

S: Now I read their blogs, and some are interesting,
others are boring.

C: Yeah, a friend of mine started up her own blogs,

and I think she wanted to use it so that her sister and
her mother and her friends could see her son growing up.

S: Hmm.

C: And here about the activities, but I looked at it a few times, but
she's so busy and I don't think she updates it very often.

S: But that's the good way to keep up with each other.

C: Yeah, I think it's a great idea. You know, you can limit who has
access to it if you want to, so you can keep it private, and you can
also allow people a certain amount of commenting on your blog if
you'd like.

S: Yeah, as we said many of the bloggers are not professional

But historically, blogs are bloomed during a political election or
natural disaster or terrorist attack.

C: Uh, they seem like a great thing to keep up with current events.
I supposes if you find a couple of blogs written by people that you
either agree with or disagree with, but find very interesting.

they're thinking and of course, read the papers..

S: Yeah.

C: See what's on TV.

S: And some of the mainstay media like newspapers and magazines..

C: Um-huh.

S: direct their readers to refer to blogs which contain
more information.

C: Yeah, I saw that. It's a great way to correct information
when there's chaos because anyone who has some information can post it, and as long as the readers remember that it's not an official
statement, it's what people are thinking at that moment. I think it's
wonderful.

S: Some blogs have become controversial..

C: Um-huh.

S: written by American soldiers that are stationed in Iraq.

C: I thought it was pretty amazing that military hadn't been
censoring them at all at the beginning. And even now I think
censorship of the soldiers' blog is very right.

S: Um-huh. I think it's difficult to sensor blogs technically.

C: Yeah, right. Well, I guess what they would have to do is give orders
about what kind of content you could put on your blog, and then
take disciplinary action for people who break that.
I don't think that military would be reading everybody's blogs, but
somebody might report it to them.

S: And of course, recently we talked about a podcasting.

C: Um-huh.

S: Which is like a personal radio station.

C: Oh, they're great. I haven't looked at a lot of them.
I haven't had a lot of time yet, but I found a couple of websites
that list podcasts, and they're...they're all organized by topic.
Ah, the ones I've looked at so far are free, so some of whom are very
amateurish that doesn't mean it won't be interesting, but it
doesn't sound like what you hear of on the radio or TV.

S: All these new technologies, uh, pose a challenge to
communications people..

C: Yeah.

S: They have to know how to integrate these new tools into traditional
methods of communication.

C: Yeah, I think it's very tough for people whose job is managing
communication, but on the other hand for people who want information,
I think it's like a new Renaissance, maybe.
For me the hardest thing is finding the information I want or finding
the time to look at everything that I'd like to look at.

S: Sometimes there's too much information.

C: Oh, there's so much information out there. I could just spend all
day, everyday, reading things, and listening to the radio or podcasts or
whatever is available.



●あんな時、こんな時○

S: It was all the rage. 大流行している。

S: hellの代わりに、hornetを使うこともある。
スズメバチのように怒った。

C: "Mad" is also used, sometimes to mean very crazy about,
"I really like or love you." You could say "I'm mad about you."
and that means "I really love you."
It's different from "I'm mad at you," which means "you've done
something I don't like.

S: mad の次に来る前置詞に注意。
I am mad at you. 私はあなたに怒っている。
I am mad about you. 私はあなたに夢中。首ったけ。

C: "Mad" also includes the idea of crazy.
"Angry" only means angry. And in the past, I think people were
careful to keep those two meanings separate, but nowadays people
use it pretty interchangeably when they're talking about anger.

S: blow my top 怒りを爆発させる
類した表現も色々とある。
hit the roof
hit the ceiling
go through the ceiling
あまりにも腹が立って天井、屋根から突き抜けるくらい
興奮した、飛び上がった、という感じ。

C: There's another phrase using "blow."
You could say "blow a gasket," and they give the idea
that they're so much pressure you just explored with anger.

S: Oh, that's great[beautiful]! 反語、皮肉

C: And you show that you're using the opposite meaning by
the intonation that you use.

S: nuisance 嫌なこと、面倒くさいこと

C: Similar phrase is, "What a pain."

S: perturb 動揺させる、狼狽させる、不安にさせる
怒る、イライラする、という意味

S: irk, vex, pique ちょっと気取った言い方

C: Yeah, they're not explosions of anger, they're more like
a bunch of pinpricks.

S: 特に exasperated は big word。
irked, vexed, piqued とは、ちょっと違った意味合いがある。
formalな抗議をするときに使うことが出来る。

お店の店員の態度が悪い。店長を呼んで、
"I was quite annoyed [disturbed, ruffled, exasperated]"
という単語を使って苦情を言う、という感じ。

S: resentful 憤慨している

S: I can't say I'm at all pleased. 満足しているとは言えない。

C: It sounds like someone who's still quite angry, but it's a
little bit cooled off anger. The person isn't feeling finally
angry at this point, but they're not ready yet to give up the anger.

S: 言い方によっては、慇懃無礼な響きにもなり得る。

C: There's all kinds of ways to say this, but here's the good one.

C: Please join us again next time.
