２０２０年、センター試験は３０年にわたる歴史に幕を下ろしました。出題されたさまざまな英語長文の中で、２００９年に出題された「翻訳者の叔母から英英辞典をプレゼントされた大学生が戸惑いながらも英英辞典のメリットを理解していく」という内容の長文は英語教育関係者の間で話題になり、いまもさまざまなサイトが取り上げています。
冒頭は以下のようになっています。 When I first entered university, my aunt, who is a professional translator, gave me a new English dictionary. I was puzzled to see that it was a monolingual dictionary, which meant that everything was in English. Although it was a dictionary intended for learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely difficult to use at first. （私が大学に入学したとき，翻訳家であるおばが私に新しい英語辞典をくれた。それはすべてが英語で書いてある単一言語辞書(英英辞典)だったため私は戸惑った。それは学習用の辞書だったが、英英辞書をクラスメートの誰も持っていなかったし、実を言うと、最初はとても使うのが難しいと感じた。） 日本の大学生が英英辞典を使うのをとても難しく感じるという困った事態はいまも変わらず、大学受験生も同様です。 共通テスト英語ではリーディングの総語彙数が増え、リスニングの比重が高く なり一回しか読まれない部分が登場します。出題者側が英語を英語で理解する能 力を求めているのは明らかで日常的に英英辞典に親しむことは有効な対策になります。
英語を英語で理解する、いわば英英思考力を問う問題はセンター試験英語でも出題されています。以下は、文中に登場する難単語、難熟語の英英語義を文脈から判断して選択する問題です。

問１ Yuka was at her first economics class. The lecturer was explaining the basic ideas in the field. Yuka tried to listen carefully and follow what was being explained, but she realized everything was all new to her and that it was difficult to understand. She said to herself, “This is all Greek to me! I wonder if everyone else feels the same way.”
In this situation, “This is all Greek to me!” means “ ”
① Greek is a difficult language!
② It is beyond my knowledge!
③ It meets my expectations!
④ This lecture is too long!
問２ Serendipity often plays an important part in great scientific discoveries and inventions. For example, this was the case with John Walker's invention of matches. One day he was trying to create a safe fire starter, and he dropped some powder on the floor. Unconsciously, he stepped on it and it started to burn. Alexander Fleming, a British scientist, had a similar experience. When he was trying to grow bacteria, he forgot to replace a lid on a container by mistake and left it open to the air. When he realized what he had done, he thought he had failed in his experiment. This failure, however, led to the discovery of penicillin.
Here, serendipity means .
① a mental attitude of doubting everything
② a quiet and peaceful atmosphere
③ luck in finding something by chance
④ never-ending efforts to accomplish something
※正解は問１② 問２③となります。
