覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Mr. は mister の略記で、男性の名字や姓名の前に置く敬称です。つづりを文字どおり読まず、Mr. Lee は mister Lee と発音します。日本語の「さん」より性別を明示する点に注意し、Mrs.、Ms.、Miss との対比で覚えましょう。
Remember that Mr. is the written abbreviation of mister, and pronounce it as the full word, not as separate letters. Put it before a man’s surname or full name: Mr. Brown or Mr. James Brown. It does not tell you whether the man is married. Compare it with Mrs. for a married woman, Miss for a traditionally unmarried woman, and Ms. when marital status is not specified. In direct address, a comma often appears before the title: “Good morning, Mr. Brown.”
例文
Mr. Lee is my teacher.
リーさんは私の先生です。
Good morning, Mr. Brown.
ブラウンさん、おはようございます。

Mr. の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Mr.は、男性への敬称misterを短く書いた形です。名前や名字の前につけます。
Mr. is the conventional written abbreviation of mister. Mister developed as a weakened form of master and became a general title of courtesy for a man. The abbreviation is placed before a surname or full name, although it is pronounced as mister when read aloud. The period is standard in American English, while British English commonly writes Mr without a period because the abbreviation ends with the final letter of the full word.
