ＳＦのThe Martian by Andy Weirを読んでいます。
This was going to be rough and Annie knew it. Not only did she have to deliver the biggest mea culpa in NASA's history, every second of it would be remembered forever.
"mea culpa" は十数年前に法務の仕事に携わっていた時に覚えた単語です。その頃にブログを始めていたのですが、"mea culpa" を取り上げた記録がないので、今回取り上げることにしました。
・Oxford English Dictionary: An acknowledgment of one's fault or error.: [as exclamation] ‘“Well, whose fault was that?” “Mea culpa!” Frank said’
・Collins Dictionary: an acknowledgment of guilt: If there's something wrong with that then mea culpa.
・Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary: a formal acknowledgment of personal fault or error : The mayor's public mea culpa didn't satisfy his critics.
この言葉を知らない政治家は多い様に思います。
