"vlogger" が沢山出てきたRDの記事 Everyone's a Star から今日も引用します。
Swedish gamer PewDiePie, YouTubu's most popular star, has more than 30 million subscribers and his most popular video has clocked up around 60 million viewers. By comparison, 8.1 millon "legitimate viewers" watched the record-breaking fifth season finale of Game of Thrones and roughly 1.5 millon tuned into the 2015 MTV Movie Awards. Traditional TV stations, managed by lumbering hierarchies, can't compete with YouTube's immediacy and intimacy.
MTVよりYouTubeを見ている若者の方が圧倒的に多いと言う事ですね。ところで、恐らく自分もら長い間 "lumbering hierarchies" の組織で働いてきたと思いますが、この "lumber" の意味を確認します。
・Oxford English Dictionary: Move in a slow, heavy, awkward way: a truck filled his mirror and lumbered past
・Cambridge English Dictionary: to move slowly and awkwardly: In the distance, we could see a herd of elephants lumbering across the plain.
・Vocabulary.com: Do you move clumsily, heavily and slowly, without a shred of grace? Then it sounds like you might lumber. Sorry to hear that.
Lots of other words and phrases are associated with our friend lumber. Particularly large or tall people are almost inevitably said to lumber, as the common phrase "lumbering giant," attests. You never hear of a tip-toeing giant, but some of them must. Lumberjack, meaning someone who cuts down trees, is another. Often lumber, in the sense of planks of wood, is interchangeable with the word timber.
確かに組織は大きい程動きが鈍い傾向はありますね。また歳をとると動きが遅くなるのも確かです。私も先日の10kmランで危うく１時間を超すところでした。
