Why?
  • "... Idiomatic turns of expression are usually forcible, tense, and vivid; the same meaning could be set forth in some other way, but not with equal force and brevity. It is the idiomatic part of a language that is the most difficult part for a foreigner to master. It adds to the difficulty that often no reason can now be given as to how or why a particular idiomatic phrase has assumed its present form ...
  • As a general rule an idiomatic phrase cannot be altered; no other synonymous word can be substituted for any word in the phrase, and the arrangement of the words can rarely be modified; any attempted change in the wording or collocation will commonly destroy the idiom and perhaps render the expressing meaningless. Frequently an idiomatic expression omits several words by ellipsis; but to fill in the words so omitted would destroy the idiom ...(W. McMordie) "
  • Some sample sentences are quoted from various dictionaries such as from American Heritage Dic. (3rd).
  • 「英語のイディオム的な言い回しは、通常は、力強く、緊張感があり、生き生きとした簡潔な表現となる。他の表現にすると同じように力強く簡潔な表現にはならない。外国人が学ぶのが一番難しいのがこのイディオム表現である。イディオムの語句でなぜどのような特殊な用語が使われるようになっているのかについては、特段の理由がないことがこれをさらに難しくしている。
  • 一般的に言って、イディオム表現は変更できない。その語句を他の同義語で置き換えることもできないし、語順を変えることも許されない。語句や語順を入れ替えようとする、通常は、ともはやイディオムではなくなり、意味を成さなくなる。またイディオム表現はしばしば一部の語句を省略する。これらの省略された語句を補おうとすることもまたイディオムを壊してしまうことになる.... W. McMordie」
  • 一部の例文はAHD (第３版）など辞書から引用。

Comment
  • Here are essential idiomatic expressions using basic 40 verbs.
  • It would be most difficult for a foreigner to master such idiomatic expression, because an idiomatic phrase cannot be altered.
  • But if we could use properly, the expression would become simple and vigorous.
  • In IT industry, there are many essential acronyms, which appear and vanish quickly. But English idiomatic connections live much longer than those.
  • 上記は基本語40語の必須のイディオム表現である。
  • 外国人がこのイディオムに習熟することは最も難しいことであろう。理由はイディオム表現は変更不可だからである。
  • しかしうまく活用すればその表現は簡潔かつ生き生きとしてくる。
  • IT業界では多くの頭字語があるが、現れてはすぐ廃れていく。しかし英語のイディオムのつながりはそれらより遙かに長く継続する。
