今後の翻訳業界について《第55章》
今後の翻訳業界はどうなる?
■翻訳家I氏:
今後、翻訳価格競争が激しくなり、これにより翻訳料金がますます下がっていっていくと思います。翻訳者にとってはCATツールなど、PCツールの力を借りていかに低料金で素早く品質のよい翻訳を行うかが問われることになると思います。
今週のイディオム【to be a different story】
The idiom I’d like to write about this week is “to be a different story”. It is used to talk about when one situation is completely different from another situation. For example:
“My father is so unfair. He never lets me borrow the car, but if my brother needs it, then that’s a different story. He lets my brother do anything he wants.”
We could substitute the word “situation” for the word “story” and people would understand, but it wouldn’t sound natural; “to be a different story” is a very natural and useful expression in English.
