♪ 2-43 SOUNDING NATURAL NOTE: The difference between “hobby” and “free time activity” (p.77)
| Sounding Natural Note: The difference between “hobby” and “free time activity” | Sounding Natural Note: The difference between “hobby” and “free time activity” |
| 「hobby」は日本語では通常、「趣味」と訳されています。しかし、日本語の「趣味」という言葉には、「hobby」と「free time activity」の両方の意味が含まれています。英語では、両者に明確な違いがあるので注意が必要です。「hobby」は、自分が楽しむためにすすんで行うもので、多かれ少なかれ上達するための創造的・自発的な活動を伴うものです。寝ることや音楽を聴くことなどの受動的な活動は「hobby」にはなりません。次の例で確認してください。 | “Hobby” is usually translated in Japanese as shumi. But the Japanese word shumi has a wider meaning that encompasses both “hobby” and/or “pastime (free time activity)”. In English, there is a clear distinction: a hobby is an activity that you actively choose to do for your pleasure, one that also involves a degree of creativity of self-development. Passive activities, such as sleeping or listening to music, are not considered hobbies. |
| まず、使い方の良くない例から聞いてみましょう。 A: Do you have any hobbies? B: Yes, I like to sleep. |
X A: Do you have any hobbies? B: Yes, I like to sleep. |
| 次に、良い使い方の例を聞いてみましょう。 A: Do you have any hobbies? B: Yes, I play the guitar. |
O A: Do you have any hobbies? B: Yes, I play the guitar. |
| なお、「習い事」については、自分からすすんで始めたとは限らないので、正確には「hobby」とは言いにくいところがあります。とはいえ、そこで会話を途切れさせてしまうのももったいないので、「It’s not really a hobby, but…」と最初に付け加えて会話を進めていくといいでしょう。次の例を聞いてみましょう。 | In the case of narai goto, those activities that you perhaps did not choose to do yourself, you should mention them to keep the conversation flowing by first adding something like, “It’s not really a hobby, but…”. |
| A: Do you have any hobbies? B: Well, it’s not really a hobby, but I’ve been playing the piano for 10 years. |
A: Do you have any hobbies? B: Well, it’s not really a hobby, but I’ve been playing the piano for 10 years. |
