覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Rupert は一般名詞ではなく男性の名または姓で、通常は先頭を大文字にして Rupert と書く。Robert と歴史的に同系の人名なので関連づけると覚えやすい。文中では Rupert arrived のように主語にも、I called Rupert のように目的語にもなり、冠詞は通常付けない。
Remember Rupert as a person’s name, not as a common noun. In normal English writing, capitalize it: Rupert. It is historically related to Robert, so linking the two names provides a reliable memory connection rather than a sound-based trick. Use Rupert grammatically as you would other personal names: “Rupert arrived early” or “I sent Rupert the notes.” It normally takes no article when referring directly to one person. The name may also appear as a surname, so the surrounding sentence tells you which role it has.
例文
Rupert arrived at the station early.
ルパートは駅に早く着きました。
I sent Rupert the meeting notes.
私はルパートに会議のメモを送りました。
Rupert works in a small design studio.
ルパートは小さなデザイン事務所で働いています。
