最近北朝鮮が頻繁にミサイルをぶっ放していますが、Emotional First Aidを読んでいると、ここにもミサイルが出てきました。
This experiment helps explain how a crowd's mood can switch from benign to furious within a few seconds. All it takes is for a few people to start sounding angry and behaving angrily, for example by yelling or throwing missiles, for others to respond in the same way.
このミサイルは人が投げるものなので、まず投石を連想しますが、辞書で確認します。
・Oxford English Dictionary: An object which is forcibly propelled at a target, either by hand or from a mechanical weapon.: Merseyside Police said bottles, cans and other missiles were thrown into the crowd and at police.
・Collins Dictionary: Anything that is thrown as a weapon can be called a missile.: The football supporters began throwing missiles, one of which hit the referee.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: any object that is thrown with the intention of causing injury or damage: Stones, bottles, and other missiles were thrown at the police.
なるほど、ミサイルは石だけではなく、ビンでも缶でも何でもありですね。
