はてなキーワード: DONとは
In a discussion about the case, someone raised an objection to "someone who was not a party to the incident, who was not from Nagasaki, and who was not from Hiroshima, complaining about it. Seeing that opinion made me aware of my position, so I will say what I must say.
I was born in Nagasaki and am a third-generation A-bomb survivor.
I say this because I grew up hearing the stories of the A-bomb damage directly from those who suffered from the atomic bombings.
I feel that it is unacceptable for someone like me to speak about the A-bomb damage.
However, there are few A-bomb survivors left, so I will speak up.
In Nagasaki, children grow up hearing stories about the atomic bombing. We were made to sit in the gymnasium of an elementary school in the middle of summer, where there was not even an air conditioner or a fan, and for nearly an hour we were made to listen to stories about the atomic bombing. It was hard for me anyway.
I think it was even more painful for the elderly people who told the stories. But I don't think an elementary school kid could have imagined that. I, too, have forgotten most of the stories I was told. I can only remember one or two at most.
Another thing is that at this time of year, pictures of the victims of the atomic bombing are pasted up in the hallways.
In other parts of the country, these are grotesque images that would cause a fuss from the parents who are always nagging about them.
Recently, even the A-bomb museum has become more gentle in its exhibits, and most of the radical and horrifying exhibits that would have traumatized visitors have been removed.
I don't know how elementary schools now teach about the A-bomb damage. But when I was in elementary school, there were photos on display.
There was one photo that I just couldn't face as an elementary school student. It was a picture of Taniguchi Sumiteru(谷口稜曄). If you search for it, you can find it. It is a shocking picture, but I would still like you to see it.
I couldn't pass through the hallway where the photo was displayed, so I always took the long way around to another floor to avoid seeing the photo.
My grandfather was under the bomb and went to the burnt ruins of the bomb to look for his sister. I can understand now that he couldn't turn away or go another way.
There would have been a mountain of people still alive and moaning in the ruins of the burnt ruins. There would have been many more who would have died out in agony.
My grandfather walked for miles and miles, towing a rear wheelchair, through the narrow streets of rubble-strewn Nagasaki in search of his sister.
My grandfather was not a child then. But of course there were elementary school children who did the same thing he did. I am not speculating that there were. There were. I heard the story from him, and I still remember it.
A young brother and sister found their father's corpse in the ruins of the fire and burned it themselves. They didn't have enough wood to burn him alive, and when they saw his brain spilling out, they ran away, and that was the last time they ever saw him again.
I can never forget that story I heard when I was a kid, and even now it's painful and painful, my hands are shaking and I'm crying.
I keep wondering how that old man who ran away from his father's brain was able to expose to the public the unimaginably horrible trauma, the scar that will never heal, even after all these years.
Now I think I understand a little.
Why I can't help but talk about my grandfather and the old man now, even as I remember my own trauma.
Because this level of suffering is nothing compared to their words being forgotten.
It's nothing compared to the tremendous suffering that once existed that will be forgotten, like my hands shaking, my heart palpitating, my nose running with vertigo, and so on.
My grandfather, who went through an unimaginable hell, lived to see his grandchildren born, and met his sister's death in the ruins of the fire.
In other words, my grandfather was one of the happiest people in the ruins of the fire.
My grandfather and that old man were, after all, just people wading in the depths of hell.
I think that the suffering that even people who had experienced unimaginable pain could not imagine was lying like pebbles on the ground in Nagasaki 78 years ago, and no one paid any attention to it.
Their suffering, which I can't even imagine, is nothing compared to the countless, unimaginable suffering they witnessed, which they pretend never happened.
Memories fade inexorably with each passing human mouth. The memories that those people could never allow to be forgotten are almost forgotten.
The tremendous suffering of 78 years ago is mostly gone, never to be recounted.
Those who suffered the most from the atomic bombing died rotting in the ruins of the fire without being able to tell anyone about it.
Many of those who saw it with their own eyes kept their mouths shut and took it with them to their graves. Most of those who spoke a few words are still in their graves.
Compared to the words of the old men, my own words are so light. I would rather keep my mouth shut than speak in such light words.
But still, someone has to take over. I realize that even my words, which are so light, are only the top of the voices that are left in this world to carry on the story of the atomic bombing.
I know how it feels to think that I am the only one. Still, I hope that you will not shut your mouth. I know that I have closed my mouth because I thought I shouldn't talk about it, and that is the result.
Sometimes I almost choose to stop imagining the unimaginable suffering and live my life consuming other people's suffering for fun.
I am writing this while I still have some imagination of the suffering of the old people whose voices, faces, and even words I can no longer recall.

I have seen some posts asking if they should talk about "the case" even though they were not involved in it and were not born in Nagasaki or Hiroshima, and I am a bit aware of it, so I have to say what I have to say. I say this because I was born in Nagasaki, am a third generation atomic bomb survivor, and grew up hearing the stories of those who experienced the atomic bombing firsthand. I know it's a little bit too much for me, but I'm going to say this because there are very few survivors left.
In Nagasaki, children grow up hearing stories about the atomic bombing. They were stuffed into sushi for nearly an hour in the gymnasium of an elementary school in the middle of summer, with no air conditioner or fan, and told stories about the atomic bombing. That was a hard time for me. I think it must have been even harder for the old people who told the stories, but there was no way an elementary school kid could imagine such a thing, and I had forgotten most of the stories I had been told for a long time. I have forgotten most of the stories I was told. I can only remember one or two at most. There is one more hard thing. Every year around this time, a row of grotesque images that would drive the PTA crazy in other areas are prominently displayed in the hallways. These days, I hear that the atomic bomb museum has been bleached out and many of the radical and horrifying exhibits that traumatized visitors have been taken down. I don't know if they are still there, but they were there when I was in elementary school.
There was one photo that I just couldn't face when I was in elementary school. It is a picture of Sumiteru Taniguchi. If you search for it, you can find it. It is a shocking picture, but I would like you to take a look at it. I couldn't pass through the hallway where the photo was posted, so I always took the long way around to another floor of the school building to avoid seeing the photo.
Now I'm thinking that my grandfather, who headed into the burnt ruins to look for his sister, couldn't have turned away or taken a different path. There would have been a mountain of people still alive and moaning, not just pictures, and a mountain more who would have given up at the end of their suffering. He walked for miles and miles, towing his handcart through the narrow streets of rubble-strewn Nagasaki in search of his sister. My grandfather was not a child at the time, but of course there were children who did similar things. Not that there wouldn't have been. There were. I heard the story from him, and I still remember it. A young brother and sister found their father's body in the ruins of a fire and they burned it. They didn't have enough wood to burn his body, and when they saw the raw brain that spilled out, they ran away and that was the last time they ever saw him anymore.
I can never forget the story I heard when I was a kid, and even now it is painful and painful, my hands are shaking and I am crying. I keep wondering how the old man who escaped from that father's brain could have been able to unravel the most horrible trauma imaginable and expose it to the public with scars that will never heal.
Now I think I can understand a little.
The reason I can't help but talk about my grandfather and that old man, even if I have to rehash my own trauma, is that this level of suffering is nothing compared to the fact that their words will be forgotten. My hands shaking, my heart palpitating and dizzy, my nose running with tears, it's nothing compared to the tremendous suffering that was once there and will be forgotten.
My grandfather, who went through an unimaginable hell, lived to see his grandchildren born, and met his sister's death in the ruins of the fire. In other words, my grandfather was one of the happiest people in the ruins of the fire. My grandfather and that old man were, after all, just people wading in the depths of hell. I think that the suffering that even people who had experienced unimaginable pain could not imagine was lying like pebbles in Nagasaki 78 years ago, and no one paid any attention to it. Their suffering, which I can't even imagine, is nothing compared to the countless, tremendous suffering they witnessed, which they pretend never happened.
Memories fade inexorably every time people talk about them. The memories that those people could not allow to be forgotten are now largely forgotten; the tremendous suffering of 78 years ago is mostly gone, never to be recounted again. Those who suffered the most from the atomic bombing died rotting in the ruins of the fire, unable to tell anyone about it. Many of those who saw it with their own eyes kept their mouths shut and took it with them to their graves. Most of those who spoke a few words are now under the grave.
Compared to the words of the old men, my own words are so light. I would rather keep my mouth shut than speak in such light words. But still, someone has to take over. I realize that even my words, which are so light, are only the top of the voices that are left in this world to carry on the story of the atomic bombing. I know how it feels to wonder if someone like myself is allowed to speak about this. Still, I hope that you will not shut your mouth. This is the result of our silence.
Sometimes I almost choose to stop imagining the unimaginable suffering and live my life consuming other people's suffering for the fun of it. I am writing this while I still have some imagination of the suffering of the old people whose voices, faces, and even words I can no longer recall.
Translator's note: The original post in Japanese is a response to a post by a Japanese contributor who wondered if he was qualified to speak out on the subject of the A-bomb when he was not from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but still spoke out about Barbie and the A-bomb. I translated it here because I think it deserves to be read by the world.
I must talk about various things regarding the Barbie incident.
I saw a post about it from someone who is neither directly involved nor from Nagasaki or Hiroshima, and it made me realize that there are things I must say.
I was born in Nagasaki and grew up listening to stories from the survivors, being a third-generation survivor myself. Most survivors are no longer with us, so I feel compelled to speak up.
In Nagasaki, kids grow up hearing about the atomic bomb. We were packed like sushi in a gymnasium without air conditioning or even fans during the scorching summer, and we listened to stories about the bomb. It was incredibly tough for me.
I imagine it was even harder for the elderly who spoke about their experiences. As a child, I couldn't fully comprehend their pain, and now, I can hardly remember most of the stories I heard. I can only recall one or two.
Every year during this time, gruesome images that would make PTA elsewhere go crazy were displayed in the hallways. I heard that many of the horrifying exhibits that used to traumatize visitors at the Atomic Bomb Museum have been removed, and the museum has been considerably sanitized. I'm not sure about the current situation, but that's how it was when I was there.
There was one photograph that I could never bear to look at as a child – a picture of Tadashi Taniguchi. You can find it if you search, but it's a shocking image with a viewer discretion warning. Still, I want people to see it.
I couldn't walk down the hallway where that photo was displayed, and I always took a different route, avoiding it so I wouldn't have to see it.
Now, I think of my grandpa who went to the ruins to search for my sister. He couldn't look away or take a different path. The pain must have been unimaginable.
Besides photographs, there were many living people moaning in pain back then, and there must have been even more who succumbed to suffering.
My grandpa walked for miles, pulling a handcart through the debris-laden streets of Nagasaki, searching for my sister.
Even though my grandpa was not a child, I'm sure there were elementary school kids who did similar things. I don't just think they might have been there; they were there. I heard the stories from the people themselves, and I still remember them.
I can't forget the stories I heard as a child, such as the young siblings finding their father's burnt corpse in the ruins and cremating him. They didn't have enough firewood, and their father ended up half-burnt. They ran away after seeing the brain tissue oozing out, and that became their final farewell.
I can never forget those stories I heard as a child, and even now, they still bring pain and suffering, making my hands tremble and tears flow.
I wonder how my grandpa, who ran away from that father's brain tissue, could expose his unimaginable trauma and everlasting scars to the world.
Now, I feel like I understand a little.
Even someone like me, who experienced such unimaginable trauma, has gone through pain that I can't even imagine being compared to being discarded, forgotten, and ignored. Compared to what those people experienced, my suffering means nothing.
My trembling hands and the palpitations and dizziness I experienced are nothing compared to the tremendous pain that many others went through.
Memories fade irreversibly every time they pass through people's lips. The memories that I couldn't bear to be forgotten are almost forgotten now.
The unimaginable pain that existed 78 years ago has mostly disappeared, and we can no longer pass it on.
The people who suffered the most from the atomic bomb perished in the ruins, rotting away without being able to convey it to anyone.
Even those who saw it with their own eyes mostly took the memories with them to their graves. Most of them are now under the tombstones.
Compared to the words of the elderly, my words seem so light. I think that speaking with such light words would be better than keeping silent, as silence has led to this result.
I feel like I might occasionally choose to stop imagining the unimaginable pain and consume the suffering of others in an amusing way to live on.
Before I forget the pain and suffering of those elderly people, whose faces and voices I can no longer recall, I will leave this here.
バービーとオッペンハイマーを合わせた #BARBENHEIMER ハッシュタグについてまとめた
togetter が Hatena のホットエントリに入ってるけど、
問題のある画像と、内容を読めば特に問題ないものが混じってるので翻訳を載せとく。

まず↑については、
Now that I’ve seen #BARBENHEIMER, I highly recommend watching #BARBIE first, then #OPPENHEIMER!
#BARBENHEIMERのハッシュタグを見ちゃったから言っとくけど、まず『バービー』を見てから『オッペンハイマー』を鑑賞することを強くお勧めする。
“Barbie” is really fun, but “Oppenheimer” stays with you —
you don’t wanna be thinking about “Oppenheimer” while watching “Barbie!” (Or maybe you do?)
『バービー』はひたすら楽しいんだけど、『オッペンハイマー』はいつまでも心に残る映画だ。
『バービー』を観てる間も『オッペンハイマー』のことが頭を離れないなんてことになったら嫌でしょ？（気にしない人もいる？）
と述べた上で、例のコラージュ画像です。
これは、心置きなく『バービー』を楽しみたいのに『オッペンハイマー』のことが忘れられなくてダブって見えてしまう図ですよね？
つまり、『オッペンハイマー』を観て、原爆の恐怖、人類の罪が深く心に刻まれて、
『バービー』のようなおバカ映画を観てる最中でさえも、それが頭を離れないという状況…
それって問題ですか？
https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1682812164111728643
The family vote was only ever going one way…
Barbie first it is #Barbenheimer
はい（いつもの通り、妻と娘の要望にしたがって今回も）まずは『バービー』を観るってことで決定
という内容だけど、まずスナク首相は「自分はオッペンハイマーを観て原爆についてじっくり考えたいんだけど…」
また、インド系は男尊女卑という偏見が根強くあるという文脈を押さえておくのも有益でしょう。
家族が妻と娘というのがポイントで、「ちゃんと話しあった上で、女性の意見を尊重してますよ」
ということをユーモアを交えて言っている側面もある。
そういう画像を作ったらどうだと提案したのは親父だ。「いいね」をしたら親父と同じ価値観ということになる、
みたいな説明をしてて、「いいね」するなよと仄めかしてる節がある。
それで、逆にみんなが面白がって「いいね」したというか、最初からそれを狙ってた
（押すなよ！絶対に押すなよ！！と言いながら押されるのを待ってるやつ）
のかもしれないけど…
とにかく、不謹慎（親次世代は許容されたかもしれないが今はダメ）なのはわかってるっぽい
ただ、これについてはアウトだと思う。
バービー公式アカウントが「スタイリストの Ken がここにも」的な反応するのは完全にアウト。
無視すべきでした。
と思ったが、元増田があげた『コンビニ人間』がAVENにアセクシャルとしてあげられていて草
I recently read 'The Convenience Store Woman' by Sayaka Murata (English translation)
It's a quirky, funny and quick read. I would even recommend it to people who don't like reading, if I thought the story/character/quirkiness would interest them. I'm actually going to give a copy to a friend as a gift.
The central character also appears to be aro and ace.

風変わりで、面白くて、あっという間に読めてしまう。読書が好きでない人にも、ストーリーやキャラクター、奇抜さに興味を持ってもらえると思えば、薦めたいくらいです。実際、友人にプレゼントするつもりだ。

なんでだれもおしえてくれなかったの？😡2年もあったのに？😡役立たずどもめ
アマプラで無料の『世界を変えたテレビゲーム戦争』を観てたら、
No way. We are engineers. We don't know anything about manufacturing.
（とんでもない。僕たちはエンジニアであって、製造業のことなんて何も知らないんだから）
というセリフが出ててきた。
これは、アタリ設立前のノーラン・ブッシュネルが、『Pong』の成功を受けて仲間のエンジニアに
「（Pong を大量生産するため）製造業に乗り出そうよ」と提案したのにたいする返事なんだけど、
「頭脳労働であるエンジニアリングと、手作業としての製造業をハッキリ区別してるんだ」と思ってハッとした。
というのも、日本だとエンジニアは作業服を着て仕事してるイメージがあったから（特に60～80年代は）。
作業服は無意識レベルで「あなたは油汚れや工作機械の操作が想定される現場にいますよ」
というメッセージを伝達するから、そういう価値観・世界観なんですよね？きっと。
一方、英語のマニュファクチャーの「マニュ」は「手の」に由来するから、
雇用主の「手先」となって肉体労働をする工場労働者と（現代日本では社畜と言い換えて差し支えない）
机上で設計作業を行うエンジニアを区別したくなるのかもしれない。無意識的に…
【追記】
余談だけど、リドスコの映画『プロメテウス』『エイリアン：コヴェナント』では、
人間を創造した（地球人にとっては）神のような宇宙人を「エンジニア」とか
娘、新しい仕事を覚える時に悩む。で、母である私に愚痴る。数十年前に私も通った道。あの頃欲しかった言葉でもってめちゃ励ませる。
息子、ゼミの勉強に夢中。夢中になれるものに出会った喜びが溢れ、母である私に熱く語る。新しい世界の話を喜びで溢れた言葉で聞けるの、自分の世界も広がるし、楽しい。
英語が好きな二人、フレディマーキュリーの歌がめちゃ聞き取りやすいらしく、Don't stop me nowの華氏のところでねっ！って言いながらゲラゲラ笑い合ってる。君たち仲良いな。
私だけでは見つけられなかった面白い楽しいものを二人が見せてくれたり、自分が欲しかったもので彼らを満たし、自分も満たせる。いつか離れるけどそれも楽しみ。君たちにはどんな苦難や喜びが待ってるんだろう。
ひとりぼっちだったら手に入らなかった豊かな人生。不器用だから大変だったけど、あなた達に出会えて良かった。良い人生をありがとう。

"won't allow/permit"的な側面がある「許さない」には、"I won't stand for this!"が良い
その他の翻訳例
"I won't forgive you for barging in on ruru's house."
↓
修正案：“You can’t just barge into Ruru’s house, you know.”
子供に言い聞かせるような響きだが、前者よりは硬くなく、意地悪な響きもない。
いい感じの雰囲気のシーンなので、前者は合わない。
↓
Meaning: I accept your apology. But I won’t forgive or forget. Bye ✌️
"If you don't come back... I'll never forgive you."
「戻ってこなかったら……許さない」
"We'll never forgive you for kidnapping Friend!"
「仲間を連れ去るなんて許さない！」
"Eat my cookie and I'll never forgive you!"
↑一方、「戻ってこなかったら許さない」については、「死んだら許さない」という意味なら"forgive"を使うかもしれないという意見もある。というのは話者が"allow"できるわけではないから。
↑ということは、以下の場合は「死んだら許さない」という意味なので"forgive"のままで良い？
「私の夫にあなたの命まで背負わせたら、許さないから」（ナルト）
“If you make Naruto be burdened with even your life, I will not forgive you.”
"it can't be helped"（仕方ない）は使われ過ぎだが、(a) 一応正しい英語だし、(b) 文脈にも沿っていることが多い（forgiveはそうではないことが多い）。

「我々は許さない。忘れない。お前達を追い詰め、捕え、贖わせる」（ISISの攻撃に対するバイデン大統領の言葉）
悟空とバイデンのケースは状況がよく似ているが、悟空は"I won't forgive you!"としか言わなかったので不自然だが、バイデンは"We will hunt you down and make you pay"と報復の意図を付け加えているので自然とのこと。
もしバイデンが"We won't forgive."としか言わなかったら、弱く聞こえるという。「もう昼飯に誘ってやらないぞ」みたいな。
さらに、バイデン自身は戦場で戦闘するのではなく演説台の後ろで何もしない。ただ何かが起こると言っているだけ。その点、眼の前に敵がいて戦わないといけない悟空とは違うらしい。
また、相手が許しを求めていないのにforgiveを使うのは変だという点に関しては、ISISだけでなくアメリカ国民にも語りかけているから良いとのこと。
ちなみに、飲酒運転で子供が轢かれて、ドライバーが全く反省してない場合に"I won't forgive you!"というのは自然とのこと。
一方で、同じく全く反省しないジョーカーにバットマンが同じセリフを言うのはおかしい。バットマンとジョーカーの間には最初から許しなど存在しないから。
（でもバイデンとISISの間にも許しはないのでは？と尋ねたが、答えをもらえなかった。恐らくネイティブにとってもはっきり言語化できない微妙な問題なのだろう）

原文
Japan review it's been a year since I
moved to Japan and I thought it made
sense to finally rate Japan I will talk
about things I like and the things I
don't like which seems to be the only
two options available if you have
so sugoi or did you know Japan is
actually really bad it's got a lot of
survival issues okay I will list one
good thing and bad thing and I will not
hold back there's no trash bins
I have to put in my pocket
oh
there's always these generic things that
you hear or yes when we you visit it's
kind of weird but then you realize it's
not a big deal anyway let's start off
with number one reason I like Japan
it feels like a giant playground no I
don't mean in the Logan Paul kind of
sense of doing whatever the hell you
want
but rather there's a infinite things all
right lazy feels like to explore and
experience and I've been here a year now
and I don't think I'm gonna get bored
anytime soon although I am having a
child so I don't know how much more I
but it really feels like a whole new
world and if you visited you can
probably relate to it and I'm glad that
even a year in it still feels incredibly
fresh and I even would say that you
realize that the best part of Japan
aren't the touristy places kind of
obviously but there are so many areas
that I found that I really enjoy
visiting and this is probably more
specific to me but you know Tokyo is
very busy and so many times I just catch
myself surrounded by what feels like
hundreds of people and they have no idea
everyone is just doing their own thing
now once it was staring at me no one's
following me no one's being weird you
guys are weird and I'm just kidding I
just love the feeling of being able to
exist in public and uh not worrying
about what everyone else is doing like
I've said this before but I genuinely
enjoy talking to fans or when people
approach me it always makes me happy but
it can be kind of frustrating to always
wanting to just do your own thing and
always be
you know so yeah let's move on to the
bad things of Japan number one reason
Japan is bad it's kind of a heavy
subject and I haven't seen anyone else
really talk about it it's not brought up
very often at least and that is cones
there's too many cones in Japan once you
see it you cannot unsee it they're
everywhere they say oh Japan has so many
vending machines there's like five per
there's more cones than people why are
there so many cones I need to know we
got the tall ones we got the small ones
we got the funny ones the cute ones the
sexy ones I do like those I just don't
understand that whoever plays these
cones think I'm just gonna barge through
oh thank God there's cones here
otherwise I had no idea what I was gonna
and I realized the cone history of Japan
stretches centuries okay if you played
Animal Crossing sometimes it's a
Japanese game so sometimes you get these
items right you're like oh that's kind
of weird I don't know exactly what that
is but it's probably something Japanese
and then you get the bamboo thing and
you're like what the hell is that what
am I even gonna do with that and then
you see it in real life here in Japan
you're like holy [ __ ] it's a cone that's
I feel like they are following me
I'm glad I was able to talk about this
I'm for one and willing to call out
Japan knock it off man no more cones
there's enough cones let me tell you
something even better than cones you may
have noticed new merch finally it's been
forever my mom came over she had
unofficial merge because I literally
have no other merch I've hadn't hadn't
merch I'm sorry Mom so we spruced up the
logo got a cool back design the team
that worked on it really truly
understand how my brand and I think they
did such a good job these pieces look
amazing and I think you guys are gonna
really like them as well these are

sure you order now so excited to finally
have this merch available thanks to
amaze for making this happen we are
gonna have one piece that will stay on

nice and then after that you can still
get it but not in this color that's
you want this one yeah I get it
so yeah check that out if you're
interested I'm so happy about these
designs and I hope you guys would like
them as well all right reason number two
I like Japan yay when we first announced
that we were gonna move to Japan there
was so many people just saying how bad
Japan is actually did you know Japan is
really bad did you know this I have to
list all these reasons now because
everyone is like thing and then thing
Japan ah so I have to tell them and I
it's actually but one thing in
particular that people said was that old
people really don't like foreigners they
hate them so when I was gonna stop by to
say hi to our neighbors who was a little
older at least some of them I was
terrifying I heard all these stories you
know like what are they gonna do to us
so I had my guard up ready for the worst
and I was met with nothing but kindness
and welcoming and I felt like a total
dick for having this preconceived ideas
and just a side comment like yes there
are definitely probably people that
don't like foreigners and all that stuff
but I realized I should let my own
experience is dictate how I feel about
certain things maybe that's just
ignoring a problem I don't know it just
feels like it's a bad way to approach
life if you always have a negative
expectation you know it's smiling people
smiled back
thank you sometimes they don't and
that's okay you know anyway my point
being Japanese people are very in my own
experience
are very nice and friendly the majority
at least and yes even to foreigners I
feel like they are especially nice to
foreigners because they think we're like
a kid lost at Disneyland or something
I just asked for directions I didn't
need you to walk me for half an hour to
this specific place I was going but
thank you I appreciate it a lot of times
I go bouldering alone and there's always
other groups of people being supportive
and yelling like I'm about there like go
you can do it I love it I think it's
great you know or if you're small
talking with people people generally
want to communicate with you and I love
having those moments but of course
there's times where people are like oh
you're a foreigner I don't feel like
even trying
which again it's fine speaking of which
reason I don't like Japan number two
their language
I have lived here for a year and I'm not
fluent in Japanese
I am dumb I am very dumb I remember the
moment we moved here I had studied some
Let's test out this knowledge that I
have acquired let's go I'm just gonna
come in it's gonna be dangerous and you
enter a store for the first time and
they're like
what
what oh
what the classic the most common
experiences that you have aren't
necessarily what you're taught in the
textbook yay I know I think that's the
same for anyone learning a language for
the first time but don't even get me
started on the kanji main what the [ __ ]
is this I feel like Japanese is such a
hard language obviously but I don't
think people realize how hard it is at
least me personally because the more you
learn the more you realize you don't
know [ __ ]
for English speakers Japanese is
considered one of the most difficult
languages and because it's just so
different I listed it as bad because
that was my first kind of experience
with it coming here but the more I
interact with people the more it feels
like I'm unlocking new skills you know
oh I made a phone call for the first
time oh I could ask someone over the
phone I know big deal but it's like oh I
can actually do that or even just having
a small tiny yes shittiest conversation
with a stranger it's still something and
it feels good you start to all of a
sudden understand you know a movie if
you're watching oh I understand actually
what's going on here or I can play games
and kind of get what this they're saying
I have to look up words obviously but to
me all those new experiences that it
unlocks to me is very rewarding even
though it's such a challenge I would
actually now say it's a good thing I
played it on its head it was a good
thing all along but I obviously have a
and it just I don't think it will damage
time reason number three I like Japan
this is nothing to do with Japan to say
it's more related to me taking a more
relaxed approach to YouTube for my
entire 20s I did nothing but YouTube
that was my life and that's okay but I
also think it was a little toxic
probably you know if I wasn't making
videos I sure as hell was thinking about
making videos I uploaded videos during
and it feels really good to finally be
free from it you know and I can discover
other things in life there are other
things in life
a new hobbies and interest that I've
always wanted to do I can do and have so
much fun with it surfing I know I would
love for the longest time and I finally
get to do it and it's so [ __ ] amazing
I love learning new things anything that
isn't necessarily connected to all of
this on the internet and that is
something I'm very very grateful that I
discovered so yeah it's not really Japan
I could have done that anywhere but it's
largely why I enjoyed so much here
reason I don't like Japan number three
this is probably the most trickiest one
and it's the rules what are the rules
Japan has so many rules and it's a bit
conflicting for me to complain about
because a lot of the best stuff about
Japan not the best stuff but a lot of
the reasons why Japan works so well is
because of the rules you know the trains
are always on time things just work in
general it's hard to explain the streets
are clean people aren't loud in public
and so on and these are sort of societal
rules that make it happen more or less
but sometimes There are rules that just
don't make any sense and I have no
problem following rules as long as I
understand the reason for it you know
don't talk on the phone on the train
because it's generally annoying when
other people do that to you A lot of it
is just be thoughtful of other people
it's not just about you and that just
makes it more pleasant for everyone but
one rule is especially which I talked
about before is the fact that because of
kovid I'm not allowed to be in the
delivery room for our baby for more than
two hours that's because of covered
rules it just doesn't make sense to me
and I tell people about this like uh
family and friends and they're always
like well why don't you just ask them or
like why don't you talk to them I'm sure
you can there's got to be somewhere and
it's like no it's Japan okay there are
rules and people follow the rules for
better or worse you know so the more I

アニメ・マンガにおける「許さない」は、英語における Over my dead body! （おれの目の黒いうちはだめだ）と同じくらいよく見かける定型句であり、I won't forgive you. と直訳されることが多い
英語のforgiveと日本語の許すはニュアンスが異なるので、一対一で訳すことはできない
以下、適切な翻訳例
2. しかし、強い者が弱い者を一方的に殺すことは、断じて許さない！ (Code Geass Episode 8)
But neither will I stand for a one-sided slaughter of the weak by the strong!
3. 私以外の奴に撃たれたら、許さないからね (Sword Art Online II, Episode 8)
So... If you let someone else shoot you, I won't forgive you.
↑これは悪い例
↓代替案
But you better not let someone else shoot before I get to.
If you get shot out there, I'll shoot you myself. Got it?
Don't get shot out there. Your body's reserved for my bullets.
You owe me a fight, so you BETTER stay alive.
また、ニュアンスが異なるということは、日本語と同じ感覚で I won't forgive you. と言ってしまうとトラブルになる可能性が高いということでもある
実際、スマブラでボコボコにされたあとに「許さない！」と悔しがるのは日本語では自然だが、同じ状況でネイティブに対して "I won't forgive you!"と言ったら大げさすぎて驚かれるだろう、というようなことを一人のネイティブが言っている

人事の歌もある。 oh I don't know... don't know...
Singapore has tried to encourage women to have more children - through subsidies/grants/tax breaks - all the things discussed in West. But its fertility rate per woman is stuck at 1.0. None of these policy tweaks work. People in affluent leisure societies don’t want to have kids.
This society is on a trajectory that is going to play itself out. Think tanks aren’t going to be able to change that. Religious conversions - mostly desperate and fake - won’t change this. Forces at play are larger than individuals and their vain ideas.

「シンガポールは、補助金、助成金、減税など、欧米で議論されているあらゆる手段を使って、女性がより多くの子供を持つことを奨励しようとしました。
しかし、女性一人当たりの出生率は1.0にとどまっている。こうした政策は、どれもうまくいかない。豊かで余裕のある社会の人々は、子供を持ちたがらないのです。
シンクタンクはこの流れを変えることはできないでしょうし、宗教を用いて出生率をあげようとする試みも役に立たないでしょう。
