玄選、知ってても良い英単語集

f:id:genyo-benkyo:20201102142258p:plain

概要/目的

本や論文を日常的に読む中で見つけた「知らない単語」「パッと日本語訳出来ない単語」「知ってるけど難しそうな単語」を自分及び暇な他人のために纏めています。単語を発見する速度に調べて意味を纏める速度が追い付いていません。徐々に埋めます。

尚、単語は追加した順になっており、品詞や発音は明記しておりません。色んな辞書の意味を意訳したりしているので完ぺきでは無いかも知れません。不備がありましたらお知らせ下さい。

単語自体の必要性については「英検などに合格する為には必要ないが、人文系の論文を読む上で詰まると困る。普通に雑誌や書籍で見る」が基準です。イエーイ。

32/291単語、随時追加していきます。発見順からアルファベット順に変更しましたので、読みやすくもなっているでしょうし、自分としても「今日はPをこなすぞ」などと区切りをつけて埋めやすくなりますね。TOEICなどの資格試験の為に軽く読んだ参考書だったり、GREの語彙力アプリだったり、The Economistのイキリまくったhighbrowな表現だったり、ドンドン参照元も増えているので頑張りたいです。
