このテーマの全語です。定義を隠して、 よい意味・わるい意味・中立の三つに分けてみるのが、いちばん効く使い方です。 分け間違えた語が、そのまま自分の弱点になります。
Every word in this theme. The best use of it is to cover the meanings and sort the list into positive, negative and neutral. Whichever ones you put in the wrong pile are exactly your weak spots.
内訳：よい意味 2語 ／ わるい意味 12語 ／ 中立 19語。 強さはこのテーマの中での相対です—— テーマをまたいで比べる数字ではありません。
2 positive, 12 negative, 19 neutral. Strength is ranked within this theme only — the numbers are not comparable across themes.
| 語Word | 向き+/− | 強さStrength | 意味Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| anachronistic adj | − | ●● | out of its proper place in time — 時代錯誤のarchaic は単に古いこと、anachronistic は時代が合っていないことです。archaic just says something is old; anachronistic says it is sitting in the wrong period, like a wristwatch in a Roman film. |
| antecedent n | 0 | ● | something that came before — 先行するもの |
| antediluvian adj | − | ●●● | extremely ancient — 化石級に古いprimeval は太古を中立に指し、antediluvian は古くさいと皮肉る語です。primeval points to the earliest ages without judging them; antediluvian mocks something for being hopelessly behind the times. |
| antiquated adj | − | ●● | old-fashioned and no longer suitable — 時代遅れの |
| archaic adj | 0 | ●● | belonging to an earlier age; outdated — 古風なarchaic は昔のものという中立な記述、antiquated はもう役に立たないという批判です。archaic simply records that something belongs to an earlier age; antiquated adds the complaint that it no longer does the job. |
| capricious adj | − | ●●● | changing suddenly and without reason — 気まぐれな |
| contemporaneous adj | 0 | ● | happening in the same period — 同時代の |
| defunct adj | 0 | ●● | no longer operating or in existence — 消滅したobsolete はまだ存在するが使われない、defunct は組織などが消滅した状態です。obsolete things still exist but nobody uses them; defunct things have stopped operating altogether, which is why it suits companies and institutions. |
| dither v | − | ● | to waver instead of deciding — ぐずぐず迷うdither は些細なことでぐずぐずする、vacillate は選択肢の間で本格的に揺れることです。dither is fussing over a small decision; vacillate is swinging back and forth between real alternatives. |
| dynamic adj | ＋ | ● | constantly active and changing — 活発に変化する |
| ephemeral adj | 0 | ●● | lasting only a moment — 儚く短い |
| evanescent adj | 0 | ●●● | vanishing almost as soon as it appears — 一瞬で消えるephemeral は単に短い、evanescent は現れた瞬間に消えるほど儚いことです。ephemeral just means short-lived; evanescent means gone almost the instant it appears. |
| exigent adj | 0 | ●● | demanding attention right now — 差し迫った |
| extant adj | 0 | ● | still surviving — 現存する |
| fickle adj | − | ●● | shifting loyalties without warning — 移り気な |
| hiatus n | 0 | ● | a gap or pause in something continuous — 中断期間 |
| immutable adj | 0 | ●●● | impossible to change — 変えられないirrevocable は一度下した決定を取り消せないこと、immutable は性質そのものが変わらないことです。irrevocable describes a decision you cannot take back; immutable describes a thing whose nature cannot be altered at all. |
| incessant adj | − | ●●● | never letting up — 絶え間ない |
| interminable adj | − | ●●● | seeming to go on forever — 終わりが見えないincessant は途切れないという事実、interminable は長すぎてうんざりという主観です。incessant states the fact that something never pauses; interminable adds the speaker's impatience that it has dragged on too long. |
| irrevocable adj | 0 | ●●● | impossible to take back — 取り消せない |
| mercurial adj | − | ●● | quick to change mood — 気分が変わりやすいmercurial は気分の揺れ、capricious は理由のない勝手さで、capricious の方が強い語です。mercurial is about swings of mood; capricious is about acting with no reason at all, and it is the harsher charge. |
| metamorphosis n | 0 | ●●● | a complete change of form — 完全な変身 |
| mutable adj | 0 | ● | liable to change — 変わりうる |
| nocturnal adj | 0 | ● | active at night — 夜行性の |
