    オンディーヌ 海辺の恋人

    ただでさえこてこてのアイリッシュはリスニングが手ごわいのに、今回は漁師界隈の英語が結構出てくるのでリスニング難易度は高いです。

     

    オンディーヌ 海辺の恋人（原題 Ondine  ）はアイルランドの漁師が主人公。


    コークの海岸に住むシラキュースは、船の網にかかった意識を失った女性を助ける。彼女はオンディーヌと名乗り、誰にも会いたくないという。シラキュースの一人娘アニーはオンディーヌの存在を知り、彼女が陸に上がると人間になるアザラシ、セルキーだと信じる。

    人間になるアザラシと聞いてグロホラー映画”Mr.タスク”の悪夢があったので、オンディーヌはいつアザラシの尻尾や牙を出すのか興味津々でしたが、映画全体の雰囲気がホラーでは全くなくちょっと残念。なぜにアザラシと不思議でしたが、スコットランドやアイルランドの民話にはアザラシ（の姿をした）人間がよく登場するらしい。同じ海洋国として日本の竜宮城の例の亀が当地ではアザラシなのでしょうね。腎臓不全のハンディキャップをもつアニーですが、物おじしない子供特有の天真爛漫さで全体的に明るいです。

    以下感心したフレーズをデータベースに入れましたのでここでもご紹介します。

    knacker:  A knacker used to be a man who put down worn-out working horses, so to be knackered is to be so tired that if you were a horse, they’d probably shoot you. It’s also used of equipment which is broken down and probably can’t be fixed - e.g. “This car is knackered” means it’s probably only good for spare parts.

    A "knacker" is a derogatory British slang term used to refer to a person of Irish descent, typically one who is poor or considered to be of lower social status. It is important to note that this term is considered highly offensive and should not be used. It is always important to be respectful and considerate of others, regardless of their ethnicity or background.
