今日取り上げる表現もCixin Liuの "The Three-Body Problem"、The Shooter and the Farmarの章からです。 "non sequitur" はこれまで2度 '5/30/2017' と '4/14/2011' に取り上げていますが未だに憶えられず、憶えても直ぐに忘れています。
When he finished, Shen spoke for the first time. "How's the nanomaterial project you're leading proceeding?"
This non sequitur disoriented Wang. "The nanomaterial project? What does that have to do with this?" He pointed at the rolls of film.
'4/14/2011' に取り上げた際に "sequitur" が "sequence" の仲間だと知ると憶えられそうです」と書いたにも拘わらず忘れたので、再度この表現の由来の個所を引用します。
・Wiktionary: From the Latin phrase nōn sequitur (“it does not follow”), from nōn (“not”) + sequitur (third-person form of sequor (“I follow”)); in Latin, the phrase sees no use as a noun. Compare sequence, from same root.
