日本の食

本ブログは観光業、企業接待、留学生対応等で英語案内が必要ながら、多忙で準備に時間をかけられない方々の為にすぐに使える情報を分かりやすく解説しています。

今回は商談で訪日中の重要顧客から、移動中のタクシーの中からちらっと見えた人混みで賑わう「中央卸売市場」に後で行ってみたいと言われ、僅かの間にできるだけ市場の陳列商品の英語表現(用語)をチェックしたいシチュエーションです。

市場の商品は世界共通で英単語だけ言えば即通じる便利な対訳語は限られていますので(国によって様々な表現があり、お相手にピンとこないことが多いので)簡単な商品特徴も日英で加えています。商品名の英訳はあくまで一例としてご参照頂き、お相手の反応に合わせて説明文も試してみたり(現場では寧ろ説明文の方が役に立ちますので)、また目次からカテゴリー別にチェックすることも可能です。
