手頃な英語シノニム辞典
Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on November 21, 2013
書名Word for Wordから内容がわかりにくいが、英語のシノニム辞典である。約３０００語収録。ネイティブスピーカー向けに書かれたものであるが、我々が読んでも有用である。たとえば、sound/noise については、soundは「耳に入ってくる音一般」で、awfulのようなマイナスの形容詞とも共起するが、noiseほど決定的に「不快」ではない。noise は「不快で大きな、歓迎されざる音」で、horribleのようなマイナスの形容詞としばしば共起するという。BNCで形容詞との共起検索をしてみると、soundの上位共起語は only, good, new, other, familiar, great, different, soft…で、noiseの上位共起語はloud, strange, low, big, great, terrible, constant, excessive…で本書が指摘する通りの傾向が存在することがわかる。またThere was the faint but unmistakable sound of a waterfall in the distance./ The children are making a lot of noise[*sound].といった用例もついていて便利である。
本書のもう一つの特色は100あまりの囲み記事である。dates(digital and non-digital), split-infinitiveなどトピックはさまざまだが役に立つ情報が多い。
手頃なシノニム辞典としてお勧めする。

A bestselling sensation in Russia, where it was called ‘the most significant cultural event of the year’ (Ogoniok), Word for Word is nothing less than the story of a nation’s literary conscience – the history of the twentieth century as seen through the eyes of a single person. A child of the 1920s, Lilianna Lungina was a Russian Jew born to privilege, spending her childhood in Germany, France and Palestine. But when her parents moved to the USSR when she was thirteen, Lungina became witness to many of the era’s greatest upheavals.
Exiled during World War II, dragged to KGB headquarters to report on her cosmopolitan friends, and subjected to her new country’s ruthless, systematic anti-Semitism, Lungina nonetheless carved out a remarkable career as a translator who introduced hundreds of thousands of Soviet readers to Knut Hamsun, August Strindberg and, most famously, Astrid Lindgren.
In the process, she found herself at the very centre of Soviet cultural life, meeting and befriending Pasternak, Brodsky, Solzhenitsyn and many other major figures of the era’s literature. Her extraordinary memoir – at once heartfelt and unsentimental – is an unparalleled tribute to a lost world.
