It's not technological article.

Ryo (@ryoasai74) is now tweeting in English.
So it makes me decide to tweet in English too.

There are some reason to use English.

• I'm recently working and collaborating with Vietnamese developer, communicating in English.
• There are growing opportunities to read technological documents written in English.

So, these are forcing me to use English

But I have not used English often these days, I decided to read the book named 'Todai Eitan' published by the university of Tokyo.

『東大英単』 written and edited by Masako Notoro, Blendan Willson, Shiro Yamamoto, Tom Garry, Shoichiro Kawai, Shuichi Watabe.

civilization

In the first chapter of this book, I found the word 'civilization'.

The word 'civilization' means "a state of advanced learning, technology, or social organization/ a society possessing the same"

And there are some examples.

• Colonialists often see themselves as bringing civilization to less fortunate peoples.
• The society which produced the pyramids certainly deserves to be called civilization.

To translate these sentences into Japanese, it may be like these.

• 移住者たちは自分たちが洗練された社会を恵まれない人に与えてやっていると思い込んでいたりする。
• ピラミッドを作った社会は文明と読んでもいいだろう

This translation is not perfect...
But these sentences have much more explanation for other idioms.

The first example

There are two cool expression.

• one sees him as X
• bringing something to someone

The second example

Cool expression.

• Hakuho deserves to be called real Yokozuna.

So this book has a worth reading.
To learn one word with some other idioms.

Hey! Why don't you read this book?
