私は軽井沢へきています。 LISA先生の今週の英語コラムです。 Homophones Homo means same or similar. Phone means sound (like telephone). Homophones are words that sound exactly the same, but have different spelling and different meanings. Bear – Bare Plane – Plain Tier – Tear Principle – Principal Because these words sound exactly the same, it is very important to listen for the context to understand the meaning of the word. Did I hear the word “bear” or “bare? I must listen for the word in the sentence and understand what we are talking about to know which bear/bare is meant. “I saw a bear in the woods.” I saw the animal “bear” in the woods. “I saw a bare man in the woods.” I saw a man with no clothes in the woods. Wow! Both would be quite scary, actually! Homophones can cause confusion even for native English speakers. Careful listening for the context is critical for understanding.
