Why?
  • Oriental writing brush for character calligraphy and western paintbrush are different; so do the words between Japanese and English.
  • The type of differences are 1) same word & same concept (mostly imported words), 2) different word but covers almost same concept, 3) same word but has a bit different concept, 4) similar word but has very different meaning, or misleading concept.
  • 東洋の書道の筆と西洋の絵筆とは異なる。日本語と英語の差も同様である。
  • 差にもいろいろある。1) 輸入語のように単語も概念も同じ、2) 単語は異なるが意味は同じ、3) 単語は同じだが意味が少し異なる、4) 単語は同じでも意味が全く異なり誤解を招く。

Comment
  • Collection of English terms looks like collection of beautiful pebbles; when I was young I collected those at a riverside; a linguist and a geologist look similar; both can recognize slight difference of meaning, color, appearance, occurrence, and combination of kinds; and behavior of collect first, then study in details later.
  • 英語の単語を集めることはきれいな石を集めるようなものである。子供の頃河原で石を集めていた。言語学者と地質学者は似ているかも。両者とも意味、色、表情、表れ方、組合せのほんの少しの違いを認識できる。そしてます収集それから詳細研究というのも似ている。
