ハフポストの英文記事から、最新の時事英語や知って得するキーフレーズをピックアップしてご紹介します。
執筆者：丸橋 勇
10月31日のハロウィンにちなんで、今回はきっと多くのアメリカ人が仮装すると思われるソンビ関連の記事をHuffPost Weird Newsから紹介します。ちなみに、なぜアメリカ人はあれほどゾンビが好きなのかは、私にもわかりません。
【例文】
[以下抜粋]
If and when the zombie apocalypse is nigh, we will all have to make one monumental decision: Where to seek refuge?
＜中略＞
When the undead rise up, hitting the beach in zombie-free bliss will not be an option. Honolulu is ranked as the most appetizing city for hungry zombies.
Residents of Honolulu will make easy targets for the walking dead, what with the city's high walkability and lack of hardware stores (where there are potential zombie-killing weapons).
【今週のポイント】
zombie apocalypse
「ゾンビによる世の終末」「ゾンビの黙示録」の意。実際にあるわけではないのですが、アメリカ人なら誰もが知っている言葉です。
【その他のキーフレーズ】
is nigh
「近づいている」の意。
monumental decision
「重大な決断」の意。ここで注意するべきことは、monumentalの使い方です。もちろん、big, huge, enormous等の形容詞も使うことができますが、事の重大さを強調するためにmonumentalを使っています。
seek refuge
「避難を求める」の意。この言い方は、戦争や自然災害から逃れて、避難を求める場合にも使います。
the undead
the walking dead
この二つの言葉は、両方zombieの別の呼び方です。Zombieの総称として使う場合、必ずtheを付けましょう。
walkability
「徒歩による移動のしやすさ」の意。かなり新しい単語なので、ほとんど辞書に掲載されていません。健康志向が高まる中、とくに不動産業界での流行り言葉になっているようです。
【おまけのハロウィン用語】
Jack-o'-lantern
ハロウィーンの時に作るpumpkinの中身を取り出して、目と鼻を三角形にくりぬいた提灯の名前です。Jack o' Lanternとつづることもあります。
【今回の例文の仮訳】
ゾンビ出現による世の終末、その時の最悪の避難場所とは
もしゾンビの大量出現による世の終末が近づいているならば、私たち全員が１つの重大な決断をしなければならないだろう。それは、どこに避難すべきか、だ。
ゾンビが出現するとき、ゾンビのいない至福状態のビーチに逃げ込むことは選択肢にはならない。腹を空かせたゾンビにとって、ハワイのホノルルは最も食欲を誘う都市となる。
ホノルルの住民はゾンビにとって、いいカモになるだろう。ホノルルは歩行者にとても優しく、（ゾンビを撃退し得る武器を売っている）金物屋の数も少ない。

I Love Clifford the Big Red Dog (and Cleo too)!(165 of230)
susan66203:
I love when I can get by using sweats because I\'m not much of a seamstress. Clifford\'s head is a red ball cap with felt glued on for eyes, nose, hair and ears, and a felt collar for the sweatshirt with felt tag. Cleo is a hoodie with purple fur hand tacked and a red felt bow. Both have stuffed felt tails sewn on because, of course! Cleo has a puff ball on the end of hers from the extra fur. These are still my favoriteseven 7 years later.
