Plus Driver and Minus Driver

Jan 23, 2017 00:10
There are "plus driver" and "minus driver" as screwdrivers in Japan.

Many Japanese people think that "driver" (screwdriver), "plus driver" and "minus driver" make sense.

However, in order to convey the meaning, first we have to use "screwdriver" instead of "driver."

Also, Japanese people often call "plus driver (screwdriver)" or "minus driver (screwdriver)" depending on the shape of the groove, but they might not make sense.

We have to use "Phillips screwdriver" or "Frearson screwdriver" instead of "plus driver," and have to use "slotted screwdriver" or "flat head screwdriver" instead of "minus driver."

Incidentally, "minus screw" (slotted screw) is often used in places where it is prone to become tainted.
プラスドライバーとマイナスドライバー

日本には、ねじを締めるドライバーとして、プラスドライバーとマイナスドライバーがあります。

多くの日本人が、「ドライバー」「プラスドライバー」「マイナスドライバー」と言えば、英語圏の人に意味が通じると思っています。

しかし、まず「ドライバー」ではなく「スクリュードライバー」と言わないと伝わりません。

そして、日本人はネジの溝の形から、「プラスドライバー」「マイナスドライバー」と呼んでいますが、これも恐らく伝わりません。

「プラスドライバー」は "Phillips screwdriver" もしくは "Frearson screwdriver" と呼ばれ、「マイナスドライバー」は "slotted screwdriver" もしくは "flat head screwdriver" と呼ばれます。

ちなみに、「マイナスねじ」は汚れの溜まりやすい場所で使われます。
