インタビュー
解説 Definition
interviews は interview（インタビュー、面接）の複数形です。人に話を聞く取材や、就職などの面接を複数指すときに使います。
Interviews are two or more formal meetings in which someone is questioned for a job, research, or public information, or two or more published or recorded conversations with people.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
単数形 interview に複数語尾 -s を付けた形で、語末が母音なので -s は /z/ と発音します。「複数の面接」なら job interviews、「複数の取材記事・映像」なら interviews with artists のように、人数や本数が二つ以上ある場面と結び付けて覚えましょう。
Interviews is the plural of interview. It is formed by adding -s, pronounced /z/ because interview ends in a vowel sound. Picture several scheduled job interviews beginning at nine, or a magazine containing conversations with several artists. The surrounding words usually reveal the context: job interviews concern employment, while interviews with actors or artists are recorded or published conversations. Always use the singular interview when referring to only one meeting or conversation.
例文

The magazine has interviews with young artists.

interviews の語源・成り立ち Etymology
interviews は interview の複数形。interview はフランス語 entrevue に由来し、inter-「互いに」＋ view（ラテン語 videre「見る」）で、もとは「向かい合って会うこと」。そこから会見・面接の意味になった。関連語は view、preview。
Interviews is the regular plural of interview. Interview entered English through French entrevue, a word for a meeting or encounter. Its historical elements are related to inter-, meaning “between” or “mutually,” and view, ultimately from Latin videre, “to see.” The underlying image was of people seeing or meeting one another face to face, from which the modern senses of a formal questioning session and a recorded conversation developed.
