Reader's Digest ２月号の単語クイズWORD POWERはGeneration Alphaの言葉をテーマにしていました。15問中推測できたのはたったの二つでしたが、日本語でも私には手に負えない世代の言葉や言葉遣いが問題なので気になりませんし、覚える気も出ません（米国に住んでいないので）。但し、次の問題の選択肢にあった表現の一つ
Q.stand of business
Choice:
A break the ice
B cut corners
C walk the walk
答えはCの "walk the walk" ですが、この表現を辞書で確認します。
・Oxford English Dictionary: to act in a way that shows people you are really good at what you do, and not just good at talking about it: You can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?
・Collins Dictionary: to put theory into practice: you can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?
・Merriam-Webster: to do the things that one says one will do: As the saying goes, "Don't talk the talk unless you can walk the walk!"
