f:id:akihitosuzuki:20200102174050j:plain

 

「文化の翻訳」の第一回のワークショップです。医学史だけでなく、音楽学歴史学、日本文学、社会学の皆様と「翻訳」について考えようというワークショップです。もちろん最後には英語で書くのでしょうが、最初は日本語で話してみるという優しさもあります(笑)

 

テストステロンの減少

今日は今年最初の土曜日で、楽しいエスプレッソの一日(笑)もちろんいつも面白いのですが、楽しんで読むことが必ずできるのは土曜日の文化・科学コーナーです。今日の一押しはやはり「テストステロンの減少」でしょう。男性ホルモンとして有名であり、女性にも男性の5%から10%くらいの量があることで、よくジェンダー論などで取り上げられる主題です。

そのテストステロンが男性においてかなりのスピードで減少しているとのこと。15歳から39歳の男性のテストステロンを20年前と比べた時に、1/4 程度の減少が見られるとのこと。面白いのは、テストステロンの減少の意味の解釈である。それは体格やルックスに関する男らしさが減少するだけではなく、健康上悪い影響を与えるという議論を前面に出していることである。

カプセルとピルとタブレットとテーブル

www.google.com

 

薬の名称がわりと難しい。capsule, powder, pill は、それぞれカプセル、粉薬、丸薬である。丸(球)の形は pill であり、飲み込む小さいものが球であったとしても、中に粉や液体があり、それが覆われるなら capsuleである。 面倒さがない。

面倒なのが tablet と table。tablet は基本は円盤、円筒、円柱であり、円の形をした薬である。である。ただ tablet はもともと table があり、table は丸くても四角くてもよい。そのせいか、円というより角が少し丸くなった四角形も tablet と呼ぶことができる。日本語で錠剤と書くと、かたちが定まったという意味になるから、実はこれが tablet にふさわしい。
