覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Larry は英語圏の男性名で、一般に Lawrence の愛称・短縮形です。語彙の意味を訳すより、「Larryという人物」を指す固有名詞として大文字で書く点を押さえます。meet Larry、Larry joined our department、Larry offered to drive us のように、紹介・所属・申し出の場面で覚えましょう。姓や普通名詞として扱わないことが大切です。
Remember Larry as a person’s given name rather than as a vocabulary word with a translatable everyday meaning. It is commonly a familiar form of Lawrence, so connect the pair Lawrence–Larry as you would Robert–Bob. Picture ordinary introductions and references: Have you met Larry? Larry joined our department, or Larry offered to drive us. In standard writing, capitalize the name because it identifies a particular person. The examples do not point to one famous Larry; context tells you which individual is meant. This also helps distinguish the name from common nouns and adjectives.
例文
Larry has been my best friend since we were in elementary school.

Have you met Larry? He just joined our department last week.
ラリーに会いましたか？先週、私たちの部署に入ったばかりです。
Larry offered to drive us to the airport early in the morning.
ラリーが早朝に空港まで車で送ってくれると申し出ました。

larry の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語の人名 Laurentius（ラウレンティウス）に由来し、古代イタリアの都市 Laurentum の出身者を意味する。さらに laurus（月桂樹）と関連づけられ、「栄光の人」という含意を持つ。関連語: laurel（月桂樹）、laureate（受賞者）。
Larry developed as an English familiar form of Lawrence. Lawrence comes through Old French and Latin from the Roman name Laurentius, literally a person from Laurentum, an ancient place in Italy. The place-name was traditionally associated with Latin laurus, “laurel,” although the deeper relationship is not certain. Laurel later became a symbol of honor and achievement, but Larry itself functions simply as a personal name in modern English.
