"The House of Silk" からの引用です。
'You will discover all the answers that you seek in the rooms above it. But tread carefully, doctor. The building is condemned and the floor is lousy. You have a long lifeline. You see it here? But it has weaknesses. These creases... They are like arrows being fired towards you and there are still many more to come. You should beware lest one of them should hit...'
"condemned" は人にだけ使われる言葉と思っていましたが、建物が "condemned" とはどんな意味になるのでしょうか？
・Oxford English Dictionary: A condemned building is in such a bad condition that it is not safe to live in, and so its owners are officially ordered to pull it down or repair it.: They took over a condemned 1960s tower block last year for one night.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: A condemned building that has been officially judged not safe for people to live in or to use, or food that has been officially judged not safe to eat.
