自分が通訳するときよりドキドキ 内容は人間として通訳に挑むことが重要であり、感動などを伝えるのは人間しかない。これからの #LenguasVivas 通訳技術課程への示唆としては聴衆の背景を重視し、さらに演劇要素を取り入れるべきではということで相変わらずのMatthew Perret先生👏👏👏 @MattPerret

I’m pretending America doesn’t exist for a few days. Any talk of “momentous political events stateside” is, of course, a reference to Germany. Germany has States.

Netflix is plugging me a "murder mystery in the Australian Alps". Presumably part of the mystery is how, when you're hiking from Krajnska Gora to the Laghi di Fusine via Arnoldstein on a perfectly clear day, if you take a wrong turn you can find yourself in Yarrangobilly.

Another excellent blog from @chrisgreybrexit. Long may it continue! Its references are always helpful and thoughtful, with astute analysis, especially of UK.
Britain's Brexitism test. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The tone of UK-EU relations is improving, but any 'reset' will be limited unless & until Brexitism is marginalized, and YMS, ECHR, and Gibraltar provide some tests of that: https://t.co/9WkV5f8Ce8

Every day, I think “There can’t be another pun worse than that.” I love Belgium.

I told the passport officer I was grateful for their work because I collect stamps. They replied “Philately will get you everywhere.” And then I woke up wishing I could remember the joke.
