2009/11/15 - 2009/11/21 分の単語 - GONE WITH THE MEDICINE

どもども。
Dr.Grip 4+1 に入れている，スタイルフィットのジェットストリーム芯の黒のインクの出が，
またまたまたまた悪くなり，いらっとして，しばらく粘ったけど，
結局，残量80% くらいで交換してなんでやねんと思っている whitypig です。

先週の英語勉強分の単語を，TOEFL TEST 対策明解リーディングから。
二転三転するけど，この本，あかんかも。
その理由は，意味の取れない文があったので，日本語訳を見たら，
そのパッセージ中で使用されている，「，」の数が1個だったから。
意味の切れ目がわからんぞ。誰が訳したか知らんが，
手を抜いている可能性大だよね。
ワタシには，句読点を使用しすぎるという嫌いがあるけど，どうなんだろ。
あー，あと，リスニングの吹き込みミスと思われる箇所が。
climatic が，climactic にしか聞こえない。
だもんでシャドーイングの際，気をつけないと，
ついつい climactic になってしまうという罠。
ちゅう訳で，おすすめしません。これ使うのは精神衛生上よくない気がします。
前置きが長くなりましたが，やっとこさ単語です。
ほとんど忘れている。加えて，スペルミスもそこそこ出す始末。
