break wind 復習

こんなことで退場になるなんて、驚きです。

Swedish footballer sent off for farting on the pitch

A Swedish football referee sent a player off for farting on the pitch.

He gave Adam Lindin Ljungkvist two yellow cards, and finally a red, when he broke wind during a match.

The ref called Adam's flatulence "unsportsmanlike" and, according to Adam, thought he was "farting on someone else".

"I was shocked [I got sent off]," Adam tells Newsbeat. "The bench didn't believe me when I came to them and said I got a red card for farting!"

Adam, 25, plays for the Swedish team Pershagen SK, which is on the bottom tier of the Swedish league.

今回取り上げる表現は、"break wind"です。

Oxford Dictionary of English (Second Edition Reserved, Oxford University Press)によると、”release gas from the anus”とのことでした。

『ジーニアス英和辞典』（第五版、大修館）には、「おならをする」と載っております。また”fart”（「被害者のon」をとります！）よりも”break wind”のほうが、さらには記事にあるflatulenceの方が婉曲的な言い方だと聞いたことがあります。

世界には珍ニュースがあるなと改めて思いました。（Gomez）
