かのタコは死してなお、TwitterのTrending Topicsに入る。 #paultheoctopus

彼がいなかったら「ブブゼラ」しか盛り上げる材料がなかったかもしれない――今年のワールドカップに関して、それほどに大きな役割を担ったとされるドイツの水族館の「予言タコ」のパウルくんが、この世での時間を終えたと、今日報じられました。 これに伴い、Twitter上に飛び交っている追悼のことばから、少し。 普通にシリアスな場面で用いられる英語の定番フレーズ(青色で表示。「○○様のご逝去を悼み、謹んでお悔やみを申し上げます」的なもの)の例文集としても、また「死ぬ」の婉曲表現集(緑色で表示。pass away, bite the dust, snuff itなど)としても、ご活用ください。

Paul the psychic octopus has died. At least he would have seen it coming and was able to say a fond farewell to all his mates.

Paul the psychic octopus has died. It was Bolton v Liverpool which finished him apparently; mixture of shame and confusion overwhelming.
