吉村章
「近いうちに」という言葉が連日、新聞紙面で取り上げられている。食事会の席で中国の友人とこの話題になった。といっても彼が聞きたがったのは、衆議院の解散時期ではない。「近いうちに」という言葉を使うときの日本人の感覚について、である。
「近いうち、とは具体的にいつを指す言葉?」と彼は熱心に質問する。曖昧な表現で会話が成立する日本人が、彼には不思議に見えるようだ。
言葉の話し手と受け手の感覚のズレ。これを「基準の感覚差」と言う。異文化研修では必ず取り上げるテーマである。つまり、話し手と受け手のモノサシが一致しているかどうか。
異文化間では双方のモノサシがずれていたりして、認識のズレが生じ、これがコミュニケーションギャップを引き起こす。
日本人は言うべきことをはっきりと言わないことが多い。日本人同士のコミュニケーションでは互いに空気を読み、相手が期待していることを考える。だからコミュニケーションギャップは生じない。しかし、中国人を相手にする場合は言うべきことははっきり言うべきだ。これがコミュニケーションギャップを未然に防ぐポイントである。実は日本人同士でもそう心がけたいのだが。

Vyacheslav Matuzov chairman of the Russian Friendship Society with Arab Countries: Let me tell you, Russia does not have any interests in the Arab world. Russian products are not sold in the streets and markets in the Arab world...
Abd Al-Jalil: The Arab streets are full of Russian prostitutes - not Russian products...
Vyacheslav Matuzov: It is the interest of the Arabs to have Russia's support, not the other way around.
Abd Al-Jalil: This criminal regime in Syria, which provided services to the Zionists... Who says, Mr. Matuzov, that we are fixated on the US? The US wants Bashar Al-Assad, and so does Israel, but the US has exchanged roles with you, so that you will have the standing you once had in the world. The US is now asking the Russian Bear to say that it is against the toppling of the Al-Assad regime, but we know that your military base, your interests, your people, and all your experts will become a target for our Free Army in Syria. We will declare this in Syria...
Vyacheslav Matuzov: Is that a threat?
Abd Al-Jalil: It's not an empty threat. It will be implemented, Allah willing. Russians will be targeted in Syria, wherever they are. Bashar Al-Assad wants support from Moscow?! By Allah, we will send him to you, so that you can embalm him at the Kremlin, alongside Stalin and...
Vyacheslav Matuzov: Send who?
Abd Al-Jalil: We will send them Bashar Al-Assad after his execution, Allah willing. Let them him enjoy him, and let's see if they can enter Syria or the Middle East after that.
