Recently, a popular U.S. cellphone company started offering emoji. After that, it became more common for American adults to use these cartoon symbols in text messages and e-mails. Since this phone is popular in other countries, lots of people outside Japan are using emoji, too. Before this, many Americans used a smaller set of symbols called emoticons. These included cartoon hearts, smiling faces, and other simple images. The same English word, emoticon, is used for symbols like :-) and ;-). These are created from letters and symbols on keyboards. In the U.S., :-) and ;-) can mean I m happy, I m telling a joke, or lots of other things. The meaning depends on the situation. Large sets of emoji, however, offer Americans many more choices. A Japanese phone company invented the first set of emoji in. Before that, another Japanese company let people add heart symbols to messages. At that time, people in Japan also used kaomoji such as (-_-). Like U.S. emoticons, kaomoji combined letters and symbols from keyboards. Emoji were much easier to create on cellphones. They also helped people show how they were feeling. This is difficult to tell from short messages like I m minutes late. Emoji soon became popular with teenagers. In turn, this helped the Japanese mobile phone culture grow faster than in other countries. The first set of emoji included symbols. Today, the standard set in the U.S. includes symbols. Nevertheless, the most popular symbols are happy faces, hearts, and sad faces. In both Japan and the U.S., adults are sometimes confused by how young people use emoji. This is because there are so many different combinations. One writer even created a version of the classic novel Moby Dick told with emoji. Groups of friends often develop special meanings for emoji. Therefore, the same symbol can mean different things to different people. ORIGINAL MATERIAL this emoticons 名詞 代名詞 冠詞絵文字 4 13

This ( them / simple / ask / allowed / to / questions ) like Where is the airport? or What is your name? Travelers brought books of these phrases on trips.

It is much harder to translate complicated sentences from poems or novels. It is also difficult to translate jokes. Social customs are also hard. So travelers may find it difficult to ask questions in a way that is respectful of local customs. One of the biggest challenges is speech. In order to translate speech, computers must analyze what travelers say in their native language. Computers break words down into smaller sounds. These are called phonemes. Then they analyze how these sounds are usually translated. After that, they play the correct sounds in the foreign language. Computers do not understand languages like people do, but they translate speech quickly. When travelers use their cellphones to translate, they speak to computers owned by phone companies. They usually wait a few seconds for translations. Computer translations have made travel easier. It is still difficult to have a natural conversation in a foreign language like German or Arabic. However, cellphones allow travelers to translate simple phrases. They also have similar programs that read foreign street signs and e-mail messages. These tools are not perfect. However, they are good enough in most situations. In the future, travelers may no longer study foreign languages. Instead, they may let machines do all the work. ORIGINAL MATERIAL 6 11
