    17歳の肖像

    『17歳の肖像』（An Education）は、2009年のイギリス映画。最近社会問題になっている グルーミングとは、子どもからの信頼を得て、関係性を操る行為に似た内容です。オックスフォードを目指しているような今回の10代にとって10歳以上年上の今回の男性は別世界に住んでいるように思え、恋に落ちるのも納得ですが、最後に明かされるこの男性の秘密とそのあとの行為、吐き気がしますね。多くの人にとって人間不信に陥ってもおかしくはないですが、 主人公ジェニーはそれを機に学び（タイトルのAn Education !!）新たな道に進みます。 人生失敗は必ず伴うものですが、そこからどう活かすかがとても大事であるという当たり前のことを再認識させてくれる映画でした。

    以下概要です。
    1960年代初頭、16歳のジェニー・メラーはロンドン郊外のトゥイッケナムに両親と住んでいた。父親の意向で、ジェニーのすることはすべて、オックスフォード大学に合格することだけを追求している。ジェニーは明るく、かわいらしく、勤勉だが、生まれつきの才能もある。父親がジェニーの人生に抱く唯一の問題は、ラテン語を学ぶことと、グレアムという男の子と付き合っていることだ。ジェニーの人生は、彼女の倍以上の年齢の男性、デイヴィッド・ゴールドマンと出会ってから変わる。デイヴィッドはジェニーとその家族に、彼女への興味が不適切なものではないこと、彼女が楽しめる文化的な活動に触れさせたいだけであることを、わざわざ教えてくれる。ジェニーは、デビッドと彼の常連であるダニーとヘレンが見せてくれた生活にすぐに慣れ、ジェニーとデビッドの関係はロマンチックなものへと変化していく。しかし、ジェニーは徐々にデイビッドについて、そしてそれに関連してダニーとヘレンについて、特に彼らがどうやってお金を稼いでいるのかについて学んでいく。ジェニーは、彼らについて学んだこと、そしてそのような生活を送ることが、オックスフォード大学への進学を断念する価値があるかどうかを決断しなければならない。

    英語に関してはオーソドックスなイギリス英語で地方アクセントは皆無でした。聞きやすいですが、物足りないです。

    push the boat out

    1. 気前よく金を使う、大盤振る舞いをする

    2. 〔パーティーなどを〕豪勢［豪華］に行う

    This phrase originates with the literal meaning, that is, pushing boats from wherever they are beached and into the water. People have for centuries built boats that were too large for an individual to move. Helping a seaman to push the boat out was an act of generosity - a similar to the modern-day act to helping to push a car that is broken down.

    The phrase became used in UK nautical circles to mean 'buy a round of drinks'

    More recently, 'push the boat out' has been used more generally and has come to mean 'behave extravagantly; making a purchase that is rather beyond what one can afford'.
