私の記憶では、Johnは男性器を表し、Honest Johnは正直なジョン・・・自分の意志(理性)と関係なく 反応してしまうことだったと思います。 例えば、女性の前でHな画像等を見た時、「ヤバイ、興奮しないように」と 冷静にしていようと思っていても、Johnは自分の意志と関係なく興奮してしまい 勃起してしまうところから、無関心を装っているけど、Johnは持ち主の正直な 反応を示しているという意味で、Honest Johnというのではなかったかと思います。

  • forgive+人+for ing構文で分からない

    Please forgive me for not having written for a long time. 〔=Please forgive me not writing for a long time〕 上記の文で自分が疑問に思っている箇所は 〔=Please forgive me 《》not writing for a long time〕 なぜ 《》の部分にforが無いのかということです for がある場合は、私が長い間手紙を書いていない事をゆるしてください。・・・で、「手紙を書いていない」 と云う「行為」をゆるしてほしい。と云う意味で forが無い場合は、《長い間手紙を書かないでいる》私を許して下さい。 つまり、「私」を許してほしい。という意味なのでしょうか?
