shutterbug 復習

He took the life out of wildlife.

A Brazilian shutterbug won a top prize in the London Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition — until experts determined his anteater submission depicts a piece of taxidermy.

Marcio Cabral’s photograph, dubbed “The Night Raider,” had won in the Animals in their Environment category for the 2017 competition.

今回気になったのは / ˈʃʌtəbʌɡ / です。文脈的にshutterbugがWildlife Photographerと同じ意味になると思いました。『ジーニアス英和辞典』でまずbugを調べると第5語義に「［修飾語を伴って］熱狂家，…マニア」とあります。続いてshutterbugを引くと「アマチュア写真家，写真ファン［マニア］」と記載されていました。LDOCEには“someone who likes to take a lot of photographs”と定義されています。(Kiwi girl)
