 今日、テレビを見ていたら「オタク」という日本語に&#8221;geek&#8221;という英語が対応するとありましたが、オタクに対応するものは&#8221;geek&#8221;の他に&#8221;nerd&#8221;もあります。その違いは、
</p>
<p>
<blockquote>
<strong>Nerd</strong>: </p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
[mainstream slang] Pejorative applied to anyone with an above-average IQ and few gifts at small talk and ordinary social rituals.
</li>
<li>
[jargon] Term of praise applied (in conscious ironic reference to sense 1) to someone who knows what&#8217;s really important and interesting and doesn&#8217;t care to be distracted by trivial chatter and silly status games.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Geek</strong>:
</p>
<p>
<blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
</blockquote>
</p>
<p>
A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance. Geeks usually have a strong case of neophilia. Most geeks are adept with computers and treat hacker as a term of respect, but not all are hackers themselves ― and some who are in fact hackers normally call themselves geeks anyway, because they (quite properly) regard hacker as a label that should be bestowed by others rather than self-assumed.
</p></p>
<p>
どちらも日本語の「一匹狼」を良い評価にしたような意味を持っています。Geekはどちらかといえば、特別なスキルを持っている人を指します。どちらも成功していることが多い。もっと詳しく&#8221;nerd&#8221;について知りたい人は、<a href="http://www.blog.net/nerds-jp.htm%22" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http://www.blog.net/nerds-jp.htm%22', '「オタクが人気者になれない理由」');" target="blank">「オタクが人気者になれない理由」</a>を見てみてください。
