日本の方々 part 3 Once school teachers start using a certain english word when speaking japanese to their students, the original japanese word starts to die. Those students will grow up repeating whatever they hear their teachers and parents say, for example words such as...... symbol (象徴) leader(指導者) opening ceremony(開会式) speech(演説、弁論) discussion(議論) ground (校庭) single mother (片親) cost(費用), mechanism(仕組み) lifestyle(生活様式) research(研究), specialist(専門家), consultant(顧問), manager(管理人), economist(経済学者・専門家), coach(監督), goods(商品), needs(必需品), item(品目), idea(考え), buyer(買い手), all japan (全日本)(too many to translate into japanese) dealer, loan, art, get, keep, enjoy, arrange, owner, driver, guide, guidebook, maintenance, gardening, walking, running, dancer, musician, singer, touch(verb), receipt, fruit, appeal(verb), approach, private, privacy, tenant, model, auction, owner, heavy drinker, heavy smoker, pressure, schedule, modern, market, innovation, business, athlete, pay, follow, hungry, vision, repeat, power, training, clear(verb and noun), straight, point(noun), keyword, contents, request, expert, option, control(verb), dialogue, contest, ticket, loan, visualize, camera, balance, healthy, type, sense, maker, communication,information, main street, top, level, impact(noun), share(noun), chorus, morals, earth(pronounced 'ass'), performance, egoist, support, rescue, trouble, scale, community, over, real, landmark, domestic violence, rule(noun), register, babysitter(pronounced 'babyshitter'), conscious, workshop, culture, culture shock, start(verb and noun),thinktank, special, present(verb and noun), symposium, panelist, discussion, debate, damage, guard(verb), stance, position, situation, observe, stage, reality, research, rival, wedding, design, merit, lesson, trend, family, relax, relaxation, rehabilitation, simulation, syndrome, episode, meeting, best, worst, pick up(verb), camera, balance, beach, healthy, sense, maker, career, project, communication, motivation.. to give just a few examples. There are hundreds, maybe already thousands. It has become an obsession. The one thing that all these words have in common, is that NONE of them was introduced into Japanese by necessity. They were ALL introduced for image, by people trying to copy other countries, trying to pretend to be more modern, worldly and knowledgeable.
