brainy 復習
化学構造式をモチーフにしたアクセサリーがあるそうです。
Accessories with a chemical formula look get positive reaction
For those wanting to look stylish but brainy, a designer has conjured up accessories that utilize chemical structural formulas as motifs, which have generated a positive reaction among science buffs.
The artist, who chooses to remain anonymous both by name and gender, has been swamped with orders through online and other retail channels for “Chemical Formula Accessory” items that show how atoms are bonded together in chemical compounds.
Measuring only 8 millimeters, the regular hexagon-shaped silver part represents a benzene ring consisting of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
It is put together with other parts indicating hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) and other molecules to make structural formulas for amino acids, antipyretic painkillers, chemical components for colorants and other substances.

brainy /bréɪni/ を取り上げます。brainの形容詞の形であることから、知的な感じがする様子を表す言葉だと思いました。『ライトハウス英和辞典』（第5版 研究社）で調べると「（略式）頭のいい、利口な」とありました。
LDOCEには “able to learn easily and think quickly” と定義されており、頭の回転が速い様子が伺えます。同じような意味を表す言葉としてwiseが思い浮かびましたが、そちらは “someone who is wise makes good decisions, gives good advice etc, especially because they have a lot of experience of life” とあり、人生における経験から判断するというところがポイントになると思いました。（aqua）
