省略の妙: 略歴の英文サマリー

テキサスA&M大学の「国際花卉COE(Center of Excellence)」の海外プロジェクトメンバーに昨年度選ばれた。夏のテキサス訪問の際に、本HPでそのことを紹介してある。


今回、エリソン・プログラムのウエブサイトが更新になることが決まった。先方から、わたしの略歴も更新して欲しいとの要望がやってきた。例によって、英文のものを長々と書いて送った。
 Please send me a short bio だったので、送ったモノは長すぎたらしい。秘書のタミー・ランドリー女史が、3頁の略歴を、以下のように10行に要約してくれた。TAMU(Texas A&M University)のエリソン冠講座のウエブサイトには、以下のようなわたしのBIO(人物紹介)が掲載されることになる。省略の妙をみていただきたい。後半部分に、わたしが送った全文を紹介する。
