カタカナ言葉は中高年には難しいんだよ。
どうでもいい話だが「エネミーオブアメリカ」って映画あるじゃん。
アレ原題は「enemy of the states」って言うんだよね。
「the states」ってあまり馴染み無いけど米国の事で、わかりやすいように邦題では「アメリカ」に言い換えてるんだろうけど、ウチのオカンとか
はそもそも「エネミー」の意味がなんだかわからないかったんだよね。
まぁ要するにあんまり過度なカタカナの使いすぎはイカンと言うことさ。
The real title is "The enemy of the state" real title is "The enemy of the state". 〔単数）

今週は久しぶりに英国で造られた新語を紹介しよう。
最近、日本では英国と同様に就職意欲がなく働かないNEETと呼ばれる若者が増大している。これは少なくとも働く意欲のあるフリ−タ−よりも性質が悪い。
NEETとは英国の労働政策の中で造られた新語でNot in Employment, Education or Training（就職、教育あるいは訓練もせず）の略語で、日本のマスコミでは一般に英語読みの「ニ−ト」あるいは「無業者」と訳されている。報道によると、この「ニ−ト」若者は平成１５年には６３万人に上り、１０年前の約１.６倍に増加し、１５−３４歳の約２％に相当すると推計されている。この「ニ−ト」は４種類に大別されるという。
The Europeans carried a record 11 - 5 lead into Sunday's singles at Oakland Hills. They continued their fine play to take the Ryder Cup for the fourth time in the last five competitions by an 18 1/2 - 9 1/2 margin, the largest margin of victory ever for the Europeans.
At shortstop, Garciaparra made a fine play on a grounder into the hole off the bat of Eric Owens in the first. He backhanded the ball, then threw sidearm to first to nail the speedy Owens on a bang-bang play.
"That play was pretty big, and I was glad I was able to do that," Garciaparra said. "That's the kind of play I want to make instinctively. I made it, and I didn't have to think about the Achilles'."

'No va' in Spanish means 'It won't go'. Little wonder then that General Motors was unable to push their Chevy Nova in South America. They later renamed the car in all Spanish markets to Caribe. The Ford Pinto met a similar fate in Brazil. As it happens, 'pinto' is the local slang for 'tiny male genitals'. The same vehicle was reintroduced as the Ford Corcel, meaning 'horse'. [more]
The latest controversy is surrounding the Pokemon, which is supposed to be short for 'pocket monster'. However, according to certain creative interpretations, Pokemon means 'I am Jewish' and Pikachu (the game's main character) is a highly offensive reference to Allah. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have banned the game, and reports say that sentiments are running wild in Jordan too.
