Reader's Digest 3月号の単語クイズ欄、Word PowerはTwitter-friendly vocabularyの特集でした。Twitterには全く興味はありませんが、クイズにあった１４の単語の内、四つの単語を覚えたいと思いましたので取り上げます。（知っていたTwitter-friendly wordは三つしかありませんでした） 最初に取り上げる単語は "clou" です。
chief element of interest: All of you have completely missed the clou of the book: the male narrator wakes up as a woman halfway through!
上の文はReader's Digestの説明ですが、辞書の説明も見てみます。
・Wiktionary: 1.highlight 2.(core or punch line) point From French clou
・Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia: That which arrests and holds the attention or the interest; the strong point; the chief attraction; the peg on which success depends.: Too much money to spend but no clou about marketing.: Everyone is saying that the Princess -- your sister -- is the clou of the ball.
短い単語なので直ぐ覚えられると良いのですが、意外と覚えるのに苦労するかも？
