knife-wielding#2 復習程度
記事が重なりますが，韓国ソウルで起きた中間米大使への襲撃から取り上げます。注目したのは，"knife-wielding"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』（三省堂）でしらべると"wield"で「（権力・影響力など）を握る・ふるう，（武器・道具など）を握る・持つ，を使う」などという意味がありました。したがって"knife-wieldingで，「ナイフを振りかざした」と訳せると思います。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』（三省堂）の例文には"wield political power"「政治力を行使する」とありますが，「権力を振りかざす」とも訳せると考えました。ODには"Hold and use (a weapon or tool)"とありました。例文には,"wield a handgun"や"wield crude weapons"など,目的語に武器をとっているものがおおいです。（Ume）
US ambassador to South Korea injured by knife-wielding attacker
The US ambassador to South Korea, Mark Lippert, has been injured by a knife-wielding attacker in Seoul.
Mr Lippert, 42, was attending a breakfast meeting when he was slashed on his face and left hand.
He was taken to hospital but his injuries are not life-threatening.
Witnesses said the attacker, a 55-year-old man with a history of militant Korean nationalistic activism, shouted demands for North and South Korea to be reunified.
He was subdued by security officers and arrested.
South Korean President Park Guen-hye said the incident was an "attack on the South Korea-US alliance". The US State Department strongly condemned the incident.
