⒂の場合も、according to some と according to me が対照的に使われている。そのため、普通 の表現になっている。
⒃ HERE are some odds and ends to make note of as the business-travel season begins with the imminent end of summer: More business travelers are driving rather than flying, according to Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Well, duh, according to me. Increased driving to avoid airports and crowded airplanes has been the case for nearly two years now, after the airport experience ― never a barrel of laughs to begin with ― started to resemble the incoming processing center at a medium-security prison.

「E メール」の意味では、email だけでなく email message という表現も使われる。次の例を 見て欲しい。
(12) Correction: As my colleague Brad Stone–and a number of commenters on this blog pointed out, Steve Jobs did, in fact, disclose his pancreatic cancer after he was operated on in 2004. He did so by sending an email message to Apple employees after his successful surgery. I still think it would have been more appropriate for the board to make the announcement to shareholders. Nonetheless, I stand corrected.

前述のように強音節は時間的にほぼ等しい間隔で現れる傾向がある。これを英語リズムの等 時間隔性(isochronism)という(服部,2013, pp. 94 95)。例えば,“Jóhn will be stáying at the hotél in Lóndon.” のセンテンスには太字で示した 4 つの強音節が含まれており,それぞれの強 音節の間には 2 つ,4 つ,ひとつの弱音節がある。強勢拍リズム(stress-timed rhythm)をもつ 英語では,強音節の間に挟まれた弱音節の数が変化しても,強音節はほぼ同じ時間的間隔で繰 り返される傾向があるとされている。確かに,それぞれの強音節にアクセント置いて発音して みると,聴覚的には強いビートがリズム良く,等間隔で繰り返されるような感じがする。英語 にリズムの等時性が存在するならば,理論上は,図 7 の強音節間のそれぞれの間隔(a),(b), (c)は時間的に同じはずである。
