3回にわたって、エピソード9のバックグランドの解説をお届けしています。
今週は、職場での服装規則に関する話題をお届けしましょう。
まず、次席補佐官ジョシュと彼の秘書ドナの会話を見てみましょう。
Josh:
One of them is wearing a... a, uh... a Star Trek pin. Is today a special Star Trek holiday or something?
Donna:
How the hell would I know?
Josh:
Okay, well, then would you find out? And if it's not, you know people walk through here and it's not the most confidence-inspiring sight to see in a White House employee, so if you could ask her to...
Yeah, the reason why I wanted you to take off the pin is just around the White House, you understand...
Janice:
I'm appealing your request to Stacy.
Josh:
I'm sorry?
Janice:
My supervisor is Stacy.
Josh:
Right, except Stacy works for me.
Janice:
Okay, well, you got the cards but Star Trek and the entire
Starfleet series is about honor and loyalty and civic duty and the fact that you don't think that those are characteristics that should be displayed inside the White House is sad. But I wouldn't expect you to understand those kinds of things. Anything else?
I'm a fan. I'm a sports fan, I'm a music fan and I'm a Star Trek fan. All of them. But here's what I don't do. Tell me if any of this sounds familiar: "Let's list our ten favorite episodes. Let's list our least favorite episodes. Let's list our favorite galaxies. Let's make a chart to see how often our favorite galaxies appear in our favorite episodes. What Romulan would you most like to see coupled with a Cardassian and why? Let's spend a weekend talking about Romulans falling in love with Cardassians and then let's do it again." That's not being a fan. That's having a fetish. And I don't have a problem with that, except you can't bring your hobbies in to work, okay?
『All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Watching Star Trek(人生で必要なことは全てスタートレックから学んだ)』のシリーズとか、倫理学者が書いた『The Ethics of Star Trek (スタートレックの倫理)』、宗教学者が書いた『Religions of Star Trek(スタートレックの宗教)』、物理学者が書いた『The Physics of Star Trek(スタートレックの物理)』などは、学校の先生が推薦していたりします。
