until the body develops an automatic physical response Explanation: 定訳はないけど、文脈によって、こいうふうに訳すればいいでしょう。 例：「この方法を、体が覚えるまで練習しなければなりません。」訳：You should practice this method until your body develops an automatic physical response. また、製造業では、よく作業者に対して言う例：「工程のカンとコツを学ばなければなりません。コツというのは、体が覚えるまで、一番生産性の高いやり方を何度も練習しなければなりませんということです。」訳：You must develop both an intuiton and a knack for the process. When I say a knack, I mean that you must practice the most productive way of doing it until it becomes an automatic process for your body. Example sentence(s):

(My) body figured it out Explanation: I think the "oboeru" here is closer to "learn" or "figure out" than "remember." Another, slightly more casual option would be "My body (finally?) got it." |

muscle memory Explanation: I play taiko (Japanese drums) in Canada as you see, and we call this as "muscle memory." Taiko is a musical instrument with lots motions and chreography, and you can't be reading a sheet music in front of you while you play. So, you have to practice a sequence of body movements until you don't even have to think about it, i.e. 体が覚える. I hear many other North American taiko players use the expression, muscle memory, so I think this is a prevalent term. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2008-01-28 15:43:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "lots of," I mean... If this doesn't fit in your context, you can be more descriptive like ... until you don't even have to think about it. |
