He made all the lights. alt.comics.classicにも出したところ,米国の5人の方からご教示いただきました. いずれも同趣旨で,"Making the lights means that the lights turn green as you approach them, so you never have to wait for a red light."と言う意味だそうです. ところで,現在では信号のない高速道路で突っ走れますから,平均時速100キロで走り続ければ大陸 4800キロを二日で横断できるので,これはジョークにならないかもしれません. とにかく,このたぐいの,生活・文化に直結した表現は外国人には難しいですね. 伊藤 良一 (東京大学)
