カズオ・イシグロ - Hole In The Wall

本、特に小説の類はめったに読まない。先日たまたまNPRでこんなのを聴く。

「カズオ・イシグロ」という日本人作家のインタビュー。イントロを聴いて日本人作家なんだなぁと思ってインタビューを聞いてびっくり。日本語訛りのアメリカ英語を想像していたら完璧なイギリス英語。

まあそれだけなんだけど、これはちょっと笑った

I didn't know the difference between the way people spoke on the western frontier, inBonanza, or Wagon Train, and the way people spoke in Home Counties England. Y'know, so I would just turn up at school and say, "Howdy!" and things like this. And people would be slightly taken aback.
