● メタファは通常、作品や現実の出来事等を素材にしますが、掲載するに足る大きな出来事を使うのが普通です。このためメタファで表現しようとする内容の、何倍も大げさな表現となりがちなのであります。 ● 従って、表面上「死刑」とか「告訴」とか書いてある場合、「ちょっと困るんですけど」くらいの意味に解釈すれば充分なのでありますよ。メタファに慣れないうちは、ことばを真にうけて、傷ついたり落ち込んだりするかもしれません。メタファを安全に楽しむには、ことばを割り引いて解釈することも大切でありますよ♪ ● また、書き手の側も、真に受けて苦しむ方もいるかもしれない事は、念頭に置くべきだと思うのであります。メタファでない場合は、何度か例示しましたように「メタファではありません」というサインを加えることも、発信側で考慮すべきかもしれません。発信者の一人として、まじめにそう思っています。(続く) * The 3rd time of the 'how to enjoy metaphors' is a continuation of the 2nd time, and I talk to you about some notes of the contents analysis method. It will be useful after you find a metaphor and the destination. * Usually, metaphors are made from works, actual occurrences, etc. , and the big matters which are sufficient for carrying are used. For this reason, the expression tends to become exaggerated numbers of times rather than the contents which the writer is going to express by the metaphor. * Therefore, the words, such as 'death penalty' and 'accusation', have only the meaning 'I am troubled a little' as metaphors. Before you grow familiar with a metaphor, you will interpret a word as it is, and you may be shocked or your heart may get damaged. In order to enjoy metaphors safely, it is also important to discount-interpret the meaning of the words. * Moreover, writers should take into consideration that there may be readers who interpret the word as it is and are in pain, I think. The expressers should also consider adding the sign 'it is not a metaphor', when they don't express a metaphor, as I showed several times. As one of expressers, seriously I think so.
