take selfies with#2 - 常時英心：言葉の森から 1.0

　
　イランと各国の核協議が大筋で合意したようです。協議の期日を数日過ぎての合意ですが，それだけ両者の意見が一致するようにギリギリまで議論をしていたことが分かります。イラン側は核開発プログラムを見直す一方で，米国をはじめとする各国側は経済制裁を一部解除するようです。
　記事の中で気になった単語は"selfie"です。ODで調べると"A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media"とありました。自分で自分を撮影してネット上でシェアをすることを指す用語です。語源を見ると"Early 21st century: from self + -ie"とあり，21世紀に使われ始めた若い言葉のようです。核協議合意に喜んだイラン人達が，スクリーンに映るオバマ大統領を背景に自撮りをしたようですね。（Ume）

If the deal is implemented it should mean the eventual lifting of sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy.
Unusually, the US president's speech was aired live on Iranian state television, with some Iranians taking selfies with Mr Obama as a backdrop.
There was anger though from Israel, whose leader Benjamin Netanyahu has been a vocal critic of Iran and told President Obama the deal threatened the survival of Israel.
The Israeli prime minister said it would "increase the risks of nuclear proliferation and the risks of a horrific war", according to his spokesman.
In the US, the deal has been criticised by members of Congress who want US lawmakers to have the right to review any final agreement.
