英会話カフェ It's a Small World ! のあまり役に立たない英語講座 (その64)
今回も本当に”あまり役に立たない”事ですが、、、
アメリカでは、｢机の下に注意しろ!｣です。これは
under the table (賄賂)とかの事を言っているのではありません。図書館、ハンバーガーショップ、駅や空港などで、机に座った時、机の下を手で探ってみるとビックリ！ そこには何かがびっしり生えている事があります
怖々のぞいてみると、その正体は実は噛みさしのガム！ ガムをちゃんと紙に包んでゴミ箱に捨てず、机の裏にくっ付けておく人がいるのです。人の噛んだガムに知らずに触ってしまうのは嫌なので、お気をつけ下さい。
あと、ちゃんとガムの始末はしましょうね！

play hookey (hooky)
今回はこれです。意味は学校をサボる事です。ごまかして休むような、ちょっと悪い意味を含んでいます。
辞書には他にも
play truant
と言うのもありましたが、私は聞いた事がありません。皆(ネーティブスピーカー達)に聞いても大半が知りませんでした。なのであまり使わないのだと思います。
ちなみに
absent
は、ただたんに休むと言う意味で、悪い意味は含んでいません。
イギリス語では
skive
と言います。
