peer agreement (net): +1take advantage of a loophole of the law Explanation: これはあなたもおっしゃっているようによく見聞きする表現で、昔からの慣用語です。 広辞苑によりますと、「かいくぐる」とは「くぐる」を強調したもので、意味は「すきに乗じて事をする」とあります。 そして「事をする」とはこの場合、「悪い事をする」という意味で使われます。 ですから｢法の抜け穴をくぐる」と考えてよいでしょう。そうしますと反対側の英語も、結論は当然のように loophole という言葉にたどり着くと思います。 これも英語側でよく見聞する慣用語ですよね。 |
