スクラップブック
解説 Definition
scrapbook は、写真、切り抜き、メモなどを貼って保存するアルバムや帳面のことです。日本語の「スクラップブック」とほぼ同じで、思い出や資料をまとめるものを指します。
A book with blank or decorated pages used for collecting and preserving photographs, newspaper cuttings, tickets, notes, and other personal or documentary items, often arranged to record memories, events, or a particular subject.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
scrap「紙などの切れ端」＋ book「本」という透明な複合語です。写真、切符、新聞の切り抜き、メモをページに貼り、思い出や資料として残す本を想像します。photo album は主に写真を整理しますが、scrapbook は多種類の品を自由に組み合わせる点が特徴です。
The compound tells you what the object is: scraps plus a book. Here, scraps are small pieces or collected items such as clippings, tickets, notes, and photographs, and the book keeps them together on its pages. Picture making a record of a school festival or a trip by attaching several kinds of keepsakes. Unlike a photo album, which mainly organizes photographs, a scrapbook often mixes pictures, writing, decorations, and physical mementos in a personal arrangement.
