butler, steward

執事喫茶のニュースについて書いてみた。
いきなり、執事という単語が訳せにゃい。

英語辞書を引くとbutlerの方がここでの執事っぽい感じを受けたのでbutlerにしてみたけどどうかな。

執事、召使い頭の他に、酒倉係という意味もあるのね。
butlerは古いフランス語のbouteillier(bouteille=酒瓶を扱う、-er=人)から来てるんだって。
じゃぁ、酒倉係が元々の意味か。酒倉を管理する人って召使いの中でもえらい人だったんだろうね。

ちなみに、もう一つの候補はsteward。これってstewardess(スチュワーデス)の男版だね。
butlerよりも、ちょっと意味が広い感じ。執事の他に、乗客係、財産管理人、用度係、世話役、幹事という意味がある。

  • Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was
    super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote
    and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog
    writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for newbie blog writers? I'd definitely
    appreciate it.

  • Hello! I was interested to
    know if setting up a blog such your own: http://www.
    blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26318075&postID=114528883158555787 is difficult to do for
    unskilled people? I've been hoping to create my own website for a while now but have been turned off
    mainly because I've always assumed it required tons
    of work. What do you think? Bless you

    Here is my blog; Please visit my site
