A black sports car steadily drives down a highway towards a shipping dock somewhere on the coast of Morocco. Inside, five fruits are silent, quietly going over the plan in each of their minds. In the passenger seat is a reddening aged triangle apple named Johannesburg. His hands are stiff, the sign of an experienced carpenter, and his eyes are tired, the sign of 

“I hope this works,” says the driver, a fresh pear. “It’s our last chance to save grandma.”

Johannesburg, who had his attention fixed on the twinkling moonlight, sniffs and rubs his nose. “Trust in the plan, Pear.”

“What if the ship is empty and we risk our lives for nothing?” exclaims Pear.

A voice from the back seat speaks up. “ I trust my source like I trust my own mother.”

“No one doubts you, Grape,” says Johannesburg. “Pear is nervous—that’s all.”

It was six months ago when Johannesburg received a call from Japan. It was Pear, his brother-in-law, informing him that their grandmother, a sweet and kind raisin, had contracted an unknown virus. The aged apple tried not to panic, but became haunted by the news. A few weeks later, his worst nightmare came true. Their dear raisin grandmother had been diagnosed with the corona virus and had been reacting severely to it. It was from then on that Johannesburg started experiencing sleep difficulties: waking up screaming, tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. He also stopped eating, unable to stomach anything but dry, plain oats.

Feeling hopeless, Johannesburg had practically given up, surrendering to his sleepless nights, stomach knots and growing depression. Then, late one night, he received a call from Grape, his long-time friend. A trusted source had informed him that a large shipment of gold was scheduled to arrive in one week’s time at Port Morocco. Grape proposed a four-man robbery, saying they could split the gold equally amongst the associates.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は23℃です。

天気が良いので少しだけ暑く感じます。

今日はコロケーションについて。
コロケーションという言葉を聞いたことがありますか？
日本語訳で調べると連語れんご、と出てきますが、
要は言葉の自然な組み合わせのことを言います。

英語だと、
fast food をquick foodとは言いませんね。
wash laundryではなく、do laundry 
strong rainではなく、heavy rain 
など言うようです。

日本語はというと、
例えば、
ご飯を食べる
飯を食う

と言いますが、これを
ご飯を食う
とか
飯を食べる
とはほとんど言いません。

知らない間に覚えたものだと、
かぜをひく
傘をさす

なども同じコロケーションですね。
かぜになる
かさをする
間違ってはいませんが、もしかすると、日本人は少し違和感があるかもしれません。

他にも、
約束をやぶる
影響を与える、及ばす
攻撃を受ける

などがあります。

私のpodcastの26で服を着る表現について話しましたが、
これもコロケーションの１つです。
興味がわく、あ、これもコロケーションですね。
興味が出る、とか興味が上がる、とは言いません。

興味がわいた方は、ぜひ26のpodcastも聴いてきてください！

ということで今日も最後まで聴いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
