名詞

paparazzo (plural paparazzi or paparazzos)

1. A freelance photographer who sells photographs of celebrities to the media, especially one who pursues celebrities and attempts to obtain candid photographs.

   That man with the camera over there is a paparazzo.

   • 2005 April 30, Peter Aspden, “Bright Lights, Big Pity”, The Revolver, in FT magazine, number № 103 (election special), page 46:

     You may decide to shove the lens down the throat of your aggressor, in the style of an aggrieved celebrity seeking primal redress against a mischievous paparazzo; but then again, most ecstatic rituals are pacific in intent and you may find such violence inappropriate.

使用する際の注意点

• The singular paparazzo is much less common than its plural paparazzi, to the extent that paparazzi is often used as a plurale tantum, and sometimes, non-standardly, even used as a singular noun.
