The suspected architect of the Paris attacks was killed in Wednesday’s raid outside the city, officials say
PARIS — The suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks was killed Wednesday in a massive pre-dawn raid by French police commandos, two senior European officials said, after investigators followed leads that the fugitive Islamic State militant was holed up north of the French capital and could be plotting another wave of violence.
今回とりあげる表現は“architect”です
本来architectは「建築家、設計者」ですが、「〔…の〕製作者、立案者」というプランナーの意味もあります。こういった場面では「首謀者」と捉えるのが的確でしょうか。英英を確認してみると、“a person who is responsible for planning or creating an idea, an event or a situation”と定義されていました。(Chris)
