「イメージ」という言葉が適切かどうかわかりませんが、英文ニュースや小説など、ネイティブ向けの素材を理解するには典型的なイメージを把握することが欠かせません。先週のMeet the Pressに、このブログでも取り上げたことのあるA Few Good MenのジャックニコルソンのYou can’t handle the truth!が出ていました。泡沫候補とみられていた共和党大統領候補カリーフィオリーナがここまで注目を集めるようになるとは思いませんでした。本当に選挙は水物ですね。
こちらがその場面です。映画や小説、スポーツなどの有名エピソードというのは他の場所でも引用されやすいですね。
-I want the truth!
You can't handle the truth! Son we live in a world with walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. That my existence, while grotesque, and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down at places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time, nor thee inclination to explain myself to someone that rises and sleeps under the blanket of freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just say thank you, and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you are entitled to!
- Did you order the Code Red?
You're goddamn right I did!
Huluでたまたま見始めたユートピアでも典型的なイメージがありました。コミックとグラフィックノベルとの違いです。よく分からない一般人はコミックとグラフィックノベルを同一視しやすいですが、グラフィックノベル好きはコミックと一緒くたにはされたくないようです。

I mean, the thing is it's a comic.
No, it's a graphic novel.
It's called The Utopia Experiments.
It's about a scientist who makes a deal with the devil for knowledge.
And the devil appears in a number of guises, but always as an animal-human hybrid, most notably a rabbit - A rabbit? - Yeah.
Oh, so he's in it, then? The guy that wrote this, it's about him? Hardly original.
I mean, Bukowski.
こういうイメージは価値判断が含まれているので、このイメージを共有していないとニュアンスがつかみづらくなってしまうんです。広く浅く知る必要性を説いているのもこのような典型的なイメージを一つでも多く仕入れることができるからです。
