The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

ようやく外人日本時代遅れなことに気づき始めたな

Lord of people are under the mistaken impression that Tokyo is an innovative and futuristic city that’s ahead of the rest of the world, but I have not found that to be the case.

In fact, in everything from architecture to music to technology, it seems VERY stuck in the 90s.

東京世界最先端を行く革新的未来的な都市だと勘違いしている人が多いようだが、私はそうは思っていない。

実際、建築から音楽テクノロジーに至るまで、すべてにおいて90年代から抜け出せないでいるようだ」

The Sacrament—and the Sacrifice

By Elder David B. Haight

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

I pray for your faith and prayers that my utterances will be received and understood “by the Spirit of truth” and that my expressions will be given “by the Spirit of truth” so that we might all be “edified and rejoice together.” (See D&C 50:21–22.)

As I stand here today—a well manwords of gratitude and acknowledgment of divine intervention are so very inadequate in expressing the feelings in my soul.

Six months ago at the April general conference, I was excused from speaking as I was convalescing from a serious operation. My life has been spared, and I now have the pleasant opportunity of acknowledging the blessings, comfort, and ready aid of my Brethren in the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, and other wonderful associates and friends to whom I owe so much and who surrounded my dear wife, Ruby, and my family with their time, attention, and prayers. For the inspired doctors and thoughtful nurses I express my deepest gratitude, and for the thoughtful letters and messages of faith and hope received from many places in the world, many expressing, “You have been in our prayers” or “We have been asking our Heavenly Father to spare your life.” Your prayers and mine, thankfully, have been answered.

One unusual card caused me to ponder upon the majesty of it all. It is an original painting by Arta Romney Ballif of the heavens at night with its myriad golden stars. Her caption, taken from Psalms, reads:

“Praise ye the Lord: …

“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

“He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

“… His understanding is infinite.” (Ps. 147:1, 3–5.)

As I lay in the hospital bed, I meditated on all that had happened to me and studied the contemplative painting by President Marion G. Romney’s sister and the lines from Psalms: “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” I was then—and continue to be—awed by the goodness and majesty of the Creator, who knows not only the names of the stars but knows your name and my name—each of us as His sons and daughters.

The psalmist, David, wrote:

“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? …

“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” (Ps. 8:3–5.)

To be remembered is a wonderful thing.

The evening of my health crisis, I knew something very serious had happened to me. Events happened so swiftly—the pain striking with such intensity, my dear Ruby phoning the doctor and our family, and I on my knees leaning over the bathtub for support and some comfort and hoped relief from the pain. I was pleading to my Heavenly Father to spare my life a while longer to give me a little more time to do His work, if it was His will.

While still praying, I began to lose consciousness. The siren of the paramedic truck was the last that I remembered before unconsciousness overtook me, which would last for the next several days.

The terrible pain and commotion of people ceased. I was now in a calm, peaceful setting; all was serene and quiet. I was conscious of two persons in the distance on a hillside, one standing on a higher level than the other. Detailed features were not discernible. The person on the higher level was pointing to something I could not see.

I heard no voices but was conscious of being in a holy presence and atmosphere. During the hours and days that followed, there was impressed again and again upon my mind the eternal mission and exalted position of the Son of Man. I witness to you that He is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, Savior to all, Redeemer of all mankind, Bestower of infinite love, mercy, and forgiveness, the Light and Life of the world. I knew this truth before—I had never doubted nor wondered. But now I knew, because of the impressions of the Spirit upon my heart and soul, these divine truths in a most unusual way.

I was shown a panoramic view of His earthly ministry: His baptism, His teaching, His healing the sick and lame, the mock trial, His crucifixion, His resurrection and ascension. There followed scenes of His earthly ministry to my mind in impressive detail, confirming scriptural eyewitness accounts. I was being taught, and the eyes of my understanding were opened by the Holy Spirit of God so as to behold many things.

The first scene was of the Savior and His Apostles in the upper chamber on the eve of His betrayal. Following the Passover supper, He instructed and prepared the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper for His dearest friends as a remembrance of His coming sacrifice. It was so impressively portrayed to me—the overwhelming love of the Savior for each. I witnessed His thoughtful concern for significant details—the washing of the dusty feet of each Apostle, His breaking and blessing of the loaf of dark bread and blessing of the wine, then His dreadful disclosure that one would betray Him.

He explained Judas’s departure and told the others of the events soon to take place.

Then followed the Savior’s solemn discourse when He said to the Eleven: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33.)

Our Savior prayed to His Father and acknowledged the Father as the source of His authority and powereven to the extending of eternal life to all who are worthy.

He prayed, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

Jesus then reverently added:

“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:3–5.)

He pled not only for the disciples called out from the world who had been true to their testimony of Him, “but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.” (John 17:20.)

When they had sung a hymn, Jesus and the Eleven went out to the Mount of Olives. There, in the garden, in some manner beyond our comprehension, the Savior took upon Himself the burden of the sins of mankind from Adam to the end of the world. His agony in the garden, Luke tells us, was so intense “his sweat was as … great drops of blood falling … to the ground.” (Luke 22:44.) He suffered an agony and a burden the like of which no human person would be able to bear. In that hour of anguish our Savior overcame all the power of Satan.

The glorified Lord revealed to Joseph Smith this admonition to all mankind:

“Therefore I command you to repent …

“For … I, God, … suffered … for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; …

“Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, …

“Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments.” (D&C 19:15–16, 18, 20.)

During those days of unconsciousness I was given, by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, a more perfect knowledge of His mission. I was also given a more complete understanding of what it means to exercise, in His name, the authority to unlock the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven for the salvation of all who are faithful. My soul was taught over and over again the events of the betrayal, the mock trial, the scourging of the flesh of even one of the Godhead. I witnessed His struggling up the hill in His weakened condition carrying the cross and His being stretched upon it as it lay on the ground, that the crude spikes could be driven with a mallet into His hands and wrists and feet to secure His body as it hung on the cross for public display.

Crucifixion—the horrible and painful death which He suffered—was chosen from the beginning. By that excruciating death, He descended below all things, as is recorded, that through His resurrection He would ascend above all things. (See D&C 88:6.)

Jesus Christ died in the literal sense in which we will all die. His body lay in the tomb. The immortal spirit of Jesus, chosen as the Savior of mankind, went to those myriads of spirits who had departed mortal life with varying degrees of righteousness to God’s laws. He taught them the “glorious tidings of redemption from the bondage of death, and of possible salvation, … [which was] part of [our] Savior’s foreappointed and unique service to the human family.” (James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1977, p. 671.)

I cannot begin to convey to you the deep impact that these scenes have confirmed upon my soul. I sense their eternal meaning and realize thatnothing in the entire plan of salvation compares in any way in importance with that most transcendent of all events, the atoning sacrifice of our Lord. It is the most important single thing that has ever occurred in the entire history of created things; it is the rock foundation upon which the gospel and all other things rest,” as has been declared. (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1966, p. 60.)

Father Lehi taught his son Jacob and us today:

“Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.

“Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.

“Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.

“Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved.” (2 Ne. 2:6–9.)

Our most valuable worship experience in the sacrament meeting is the sacred ordinance of the sacrament, for it provides the opportunity to focus our minds and hearts upon the Savior and His sacrifice.

The Apostle Paul warned the early Saints against eating this bread and drinking this cup of the Lord unworthily. (See 1 Cor. 11:27–30.)

Our Savior Himself instructed the Nephites, “Whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily [brings] damnation to his soul.” (3 Ne. 18:29.)

Worthy partakers of the sacrament are in harmony with the Lord and put themselves under covenant with Him to always remember His sacrifice for the sins of the world, to take upon them the name of Christ and to always remember Him, and to keep His commandments. The Savior covenants that we who do so shall have His spirit to be with us and that, if faithful to the end, we may inherit eternal life.

Our Lord revealed to Joseph Smith that “there is no gift greater than the gift of salvation,” which plan includes the ordinance of the sacrament as a continuous reminder of the Savior’s atoning sacrifice. He gave instructions thatit is expedient that the church meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus.” (D&C 6:13; D&C 20:75.)

Immortality comes to us all as a free gift by the grace of God alone, without works of righteousness. Eternal life, however, is the reward for obedience to the laws and ordinances of His gospel.

I testify to all of you that our Heavenly Father does answer our righteous pleadings. The added knowledge which has come to me has made a great impact upon my life. The gift of the Holy Ghost is a priceless possession and opens the door to our ongoing knowledge of God and eternal joy. Of this I bear witness, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Though he had traveled a long and treacherous path to reach this moment, his journey had just begun.

Together, they faced both triumph and tragedy, navigating the treacherous landscape of alliances and betrayals that defined the era.

Chapter 6: The Turning Tide

Yasuke's reputation as a skilled and loyal samurai grew, as did his bond with Lord Nobunaga. The warlord respected Yasuke's dedication and resilience, a stark contrast to the treachery and self-serving ambitions that plagued many samurai of the era.

Word of Yasuke's prowess reached other daimyos, and whispers of the formidable black samurai began to spread across the provinces. The year was 1579, and the Oda clan had just emerged victorious in the Battle of Tedorigawa. Yasuke had fought valiantly, his towering presence and unmatched strength striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.

As the Oda clan continued to expand its territories, Yasuke's friendship with Nobunaga deepened, and he became a trusted advisor. He learned more about Japanese culture, studied the language, and embraced the customs of his new home.

In the shadows, however, the tides of change were brewing. Mitsuhide Akechi, once a loyal ally, had grown disillusioned with Nobunaga's rule.

As the sun rose, the first cries of battle rang out. Mitsuhide's forces had launched a surprise attack on Nobunaga's residence at the Honno-ji Temple. The chaos was overwhelming, as friend turned against friend, and the air filled with the acrid smell of smoke and blood.

Yasuke fought his way to Nobunaga's side, his sword cutting through the traitorous samurai with brutal efficiency. The two men made their final stand together, back-to-back, against the relentless onslaught.

In the end, however, they were outnumbered. As Nobunaga fell, mortally wounded, Yasuke continued to fight, but he too was eventually captured. Mitsuhide Akechi, in a twisted display of respect, spared Yasuke's life, acknowledging the loyalty and prowess of the black samurai. Yasuke was sent to the Jesuit missionaries, his future uncertain.

Yasuke's journey had been a remarkable one, from a slave in a foreign land to a trusted advisor and samurai. Despite his extraordinary circumstances, he remained true to himself and his values. His story of strength, resilience, and loyalty would be remembered and honored for generations to come.

Epilogue:

As the sun set on another day in Japan, the whisper of the wind carried the tale of the black samurai, Yasuke, across the land. It would weave its way through the ages, inspiring countless others to rise above adversity and carve their own paths through the storms of life.

Title: The Black Samurai: Yasuke's Odyssey

Prologue: Whispers of a Stranger

The year was 1579. The shores of Kyoto were caressed by the gentle waves of the Sea of Japan, as a strange vessel approached. Aboard the ship, a tall, dark-skinned man with the bearing of a warrior stood, gazing upon the foreign land that would soon become his home. His name was Yasuke, and he had been brought to Japan by the Jesuit missionaries, sold into servitude and torn from his African homeland.

Chapter 1: Nobunaga's Curiosity

Yasuke's arrival in Kyoto was met with awe and fascination. His ebony skin, unlike anything the Japanese had ever seen, drew the attention of the powerful daimyo Oda Nobunaga. Intrigued by the foreigner's strength and demeanor, Nobunaga requested a meeting with Yasuke. The two men found a mutual respect for each other's warrior spirit, and thus, Yasuke was granted a position in Nobunaga's service.

Chapter 2: The Path of the Samurai

As Yasuke adapted to his new life, he faced many challenges. He struggled to learn the language and customs, as well as the intricacies of the samurai code, Bushido. Despite the adversity, his determination to prove himself to Nobunaga and the other samurai never wavered. Gradually, Yasuke honed his skills in swordsmanship and strategy, earning the respect of his peers and the title of samurai.

Chapter 3: A Warrior's Bond

Yasuke's service to Nobunaga brought him into contact with many prominent figures of the time, including Mitsuhide Akechi, a cunning and ambitious samurai lord. While their friendship was built on mutual admiration and shared experiences on the battlefield, a lingering mistrust lingered beneath the surface. Yasuke could not shake the feeling that Mitsuhide's ambitions would one day prove to be a grave threat to Nobunaga and his empire.

Chapter 4: The Taste of Betrayal

The year was 1582. The air hung heavy with tension as Yasuke rode beside Nobunaga to the Honno-ji temple in Kyoto. Unbeknownst to them, Mitsuhide Akechi had orchestrated a coup against Nobunaga, his forces surrounding the temple and setting it ablaze. Trapped within the inferno, Nobunaga chose to commit seppuku, entrusting Yasuke with his sword and his final words.

Chapter 5: The Black Samurai's Vengeance

As the flames consumed the temple, Yasuke vowed to avenge Nobunaga's death. He fought his way out of the burning temple, cutting down Mitsuhide's men with the ferocity of a wounded tiger. In a final confrontation with Mitsuhide, Yasuke's loyalty and honor as a samurai shone through, but he was ultimately captured and spared by Mitsuhide, who could not bring himself to kill the man he had once called a friend.

Epilogue: The Legend Endures

With Nobunaga's death, Yasuke's fate was uncertain. The events that followed his confrontation with Mitsuhide would become the stuff

俺以外の誰かが俺の続きの意識を持っていたところでそれは俺ではない

世界にとっては俺がそのまま生きてるのと同じことかもしれんが

自身にとっては俺の命と引き換えに赤の他人が生き延びるのと何ら変わらない

はいものの、俺は時々不安になる

睡眠によって意識が途切れる前の自分と途切れた後の自分はまったく同じ人間だと言えるのか

いまの自分は複製物でオリジナルはすでに死んでいるとしても俺自身は複製物であることを自覚できないだろう

人間そっくり複製するような科学技術存在しないし、仮にあったとして俺にそれをする意味もないが、

眠りによって意識が途切れるたびに俺は本当に眠る前の俺と連続した人間であるのか不安になる

俺は眠るのが怖い

また目覚めることができる保障などどこにもないのになぜ人は簡単意識を断絶してしまえるのか

 Now I lay me down to sleep,

 I pray the Lord my soul to keep;

 And if I die before I wake,

 I pray the Lord my soul to take.

俺がこの就寝前の祈り言葉を知ったきっかけはメタリカだが

眠ったまま死んでしま不安を軽減するために神に祈る文化があることを知って少し感動した

しかし神を信じない俺は何に祈ればいいのだろう

いつも意識を保ち続ける限界が訪れるまで眠ることができない

英語で読む中国史漢字じゃないだけでクッソ蛮族に見える

感覚を味わってもらうために固有名詞だけ置き換えてみる

208年、曹操が南征を開始すると、荊州劉表は死去した。荊州では劉表後継者争いが起こっており、長男の劉琦を支持する側と、次男の劉琮を支持する側に分かれていが、優勢であった劉琮が荊州牧に就いた。荊州では曹操軍が到来したと知ると、劉琮は王粲の勧めもあり曹操に帰順した。曹操は新野の劉備を攻めようとした。しかし、劉備はいち早く撤退したので曹操は軽騎をもって追撃し、当陽県の長坂でこれを大いに撃破した。だが、劉備軍の被害はいたって少なく、彼らは江東孫権同盟して曹操軍と対峙するに至った。周瑜は部将黄蓋の進言を採用して、佯降を偽装して接近に成功した黄蓋が、曹操軍の船団に火を放つと忽ち燃え広がり。曹操軍を火計で破った(赤壁の戦い)。周瑜劉備と再度合流して追走すると、曹操曹仁徐晃江陵守備に、楽進を襄陽の守備に残し、自らは北方撤退した(「呉主伝」)。

208年、 Cao Cao が南征を開始すると、 Jingzhou の Liu Biao は死去した。 Jingzhou では Liu Biao の後継者争いが起こっており、長男の Liu Qi を支持する側と、次男の Liu Cong を支持する側に分かれていが、優勢であった Liu Cong が Jingzhou 牧に就いた。 Jingzhou では Cao Cao 軍が到来したと知ると、 Liu Cong は Wang Can の勧めもあり Cao Cao に帰順した。 Cao Cao は Xinye の Liu Bei を攻めようとした。しかし、 Liu Bei 軍はいち早く撤退したので Cao Cao は軽騎をもって追撃し、 Dangyang 県の Changban でこれを大いに撃破した。だが、 Liu Bei 軍の被害はいたって少なく、彼らは Jiangdong の Sun Quan と同盟して Cao Cao 軍と対峙するに至った。 Zhou Yu は部将 Huang Gai の進言を採用して、佯降を偽装して接近に成功した Huang Gai が、 Cao Cao 軍の船団に火を放つと忽ち燃え広がり。 Cao Cao 軍を火計で破った( Battle of Red Cliffs )。 Zhou Yu が Liu Bei と再度合流して追走すると、 Cao CaoCao Ren と Xu Huang を Jiangling の守備に、 Yue Jin を Xiangyang の守備に残し、自らは北方撤退した(「 Biography of the Lord of Wu 」)。

Sonny Chiba The Bodyguard

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

ラジオドラマ指輪物語まで1年。そろそろ予習を始めよう

2021/9/16 20:00-21:00

TBSラジオ「アフター6 ジャンクション(3)」

ドラマ指輪物語まで1年。そろそろ予習を始めよう」

ゲスト森瀬繚(「中つ国サーガ読本コラム寄稿

出演:ライムスター宇多丸/宇内梨沙

【「指輪物語」はファンタジー元祖ではない】

・「指輪物語」(1950年代)以前にコナン1930年代)などのヒロイック・ファンタジーがあった。

 →「ソード&ソーサリー」という言葉60年代に生まれた。

・「指輪物語」の米国での出版(1965)以後、“トールキン的なファンタジー”が広まった。

 →当時「トールキンソードソーサリーと呼べるか」論争があった。

 →D&D(1974)など冒険者パーティを組むゲームを通じて、人間種族モンスター種族ゴブリン、オーク、トロルハーフリング(ホ○ット)がメジャーになった。

Amazonプライムドラマ版】※予想含む

映画の「第三紀」に先立つ時代「第二紀」のお話

・"原作"は「シルマリル物語

・冥王サウロン(潜伏中)が関わってくる?

映画版「LotR」冒頭の、サウロンの指が切り取られ、一つの指輪が失われるのが第二紀の終わり

Amazonプライム版のキャラクター名がエルフっぽいので、第二紀前半のエルフ指輪鍛造のころか?

・若きガラドリエル(別キャスト)やエルロンドの青春時代、闇の森のスランドゥイル(レゴラスの父)も登場か?

宇多丸白人中心の人種ステレオタイプがないか?」

森瀬「トールキンそもそも描こうとしたのが現実北方人種北欧系)の世界から……映画ホビット三部作になると人間側の人種バリエーションも広がっている」

【初級課題

エクステンデッド版の映画をみるべし。

・加えて「指輪物語原作解説(追補編)も読むべし。

・「シルマリル物語」「終わらざりし物語」も読んでおくとなお良し。

・これから指輪物語」「ホビット」を読むならどの翻訳で読むか?

 →Apple books(電子版)「指輪物語固有名詞も良い。

 →「ホビット」は原書房おすすめする。解説も充実。

【中級課題

・「ベレンルーシエン」(研究書)

原作英語で読もう!

The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion という英語注釈書もある。

英語字幕で映画を見るのもよい。

トールキンが参考にした北欧神話などもよい。

土地勘を養うなら「シャドウ・オブ・モルドール」や「Lord of the Rings Online」。

上級課題

・The History of Middle-earth12巻、Kindle版あり)通読ではなく索引的に使う。

エルフ学習 映画を見たときエルフパートがわかる喜び。

 →「A Gateway to Sindarin」映画の監修者によるエルフ語(シンダール語解説書。

  #ISO言語コードがある……(Wikipedia

 →「『指輪物語エルフ語を読む」少し古いが日本語で読める。

【おまけ(番組外)】

・“エルフ語”対応AI翻訳サービス 「指輪物語パロディーだけではなかった本当の目的 - ITmedia NEWS

ぼくも枝野七策初見感想元増田とだいたい同じだった

しかちょっと考えると、別にこれでいいのではないかと思った。

今や国民過半数ともいえる無党派が非自民に求めているのはきれいな自民党だ。

社会党でもなければ共産党でもない。

このことは自民党総裁候補に期待されていることにも表れている。

安倍政権下で国民にきちんと説明する石破に期待が集まった。

今は河野や岸田に少しでもクリーン政治を期待している。

自民党はまあまあ上手くやってるんだけど、ちょっと国家私物化が過ぎるところがあるよね」

日本国民の大多数は、政権交代革命的な変革、まして社会主義革命など求めてはいない。

たかだか修正資本主義範囲でどのあたりのバランス選択するかの違いでしかない。

企業家計にどの程度の重みづけをするか。

経営者労働者立場にどの程度の重みづけをするか。

安全保障政策日本一国丸腰論による平和構築など求めてはいない。

対米関係と国際協調を基軸として、アジア太平洋平和繁栄を目指す。

大半の政策は、政権交代たからといって1年でラディカルに転換するなどという話にはならない。

しろ外交安保にことさら触れていないのは、共産党社民党に引きずられた異常な方針は採らない。

政権運営しながら、関係諸国国民対話し、自民党政権とは少しづつ異なる答えを模索する。

穏健なメッセージと受け止めてよいのではないか

日本問題解決する政権交代でなければ意味がない

政権交代後、すぐに方針転換するもの、徐々に転換するもの自民党政権の方針をそのまま継承するものを振り分ける。

すぐに方針転換できるもの国内事項に限られるのは当たり前の話だ。

枝野七策は即着手する項目のリストだ。

相手国との交渉事項なのにもかかわらず、拘泥して政権交代を瞬時に終わらせた普天間移設問題の轍を踏まないことが肝要だろう。

そうするとコロナ禍にもかかわらず、まともな財政政策が打てず緊縮策を継続している現状、

まり20年度予算のうち30兆円超が21年度に繰り越されているような状況を打開すること。

予算執行がある特定利権者と強固に結び付き固定化されている構造

中抜き問題

あるいは安倍政権下での権力犯罪

国家大義などかけらもない私利私欲と保身のみで、政府与党が一体となってゼロ回答に終始した問題是正

これらは日本のみでやれることだし、政権交代必要な意義でもある。

権力は腐敗する、絶対的権力絶対に腐敗する(ジョン・アクトン卿)

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.(Lord John Acton)

2020-12-30

(原文)Lord Vader is made up of 99.9999% hate and 0.0001% kindness.

(訳文)ベーダー卿は99.9999%の憎悪と0.0001の優しさでできています

Queen『Somebody to love』は誤訳されてる気がする

のだけど、どうだろうか。

この歌は”find me somebody to love”という歌詞が繰り返し出てくるわけだけど、大抵の場合ここの対訳は「誰か僕に、愛すべき人を見つけてくれ」という風になっている。でも、どうにも俺には違和感がある。

この曲の主人公(僕)は、報われない日々を送ってきている。

I have spent all my years in believing you. But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
(神よ、僕はこれまでずっとあなたを信じ続けてきたのに、何の救いもない!)

I work hard every day of my life. I work till I ache in my bones.
(僕は毎日一生懸命働いている。骨の髄まで痛むほどに。)

Everyday - I try and I try and I try. But everybody wants to put me down.
(毎日毎日、僕はトライし続けているのに、それでも奴らは僕を抑えつけようとしてくる。)

そんな人間が、「ああ、僕には人を愛するということが足りないんだ」なんて思うだろうか。「誰か僕に、愛すべき人を見つけてくれ」なんて叫ぶだろうか。

俺は思わなかった。俺が求めたのは他者から愛される(=承認される)ことによる救済だった。

もうひとつ、気になることがある。

主人公が愛すべき人を求めているのであれば、歌詞としては”I need somebody to love”のように、主人公主語となるような一節があって然るべきだと思うが、それに類するようなものはどこにも現れない。

その代わりに繰り返されるのは、”Can anybody find me somebody to love”という、特定人物ですらない「誰か」への投げかけだ。

まり、”find me somebody to love”は「誰か僕に、愛すべき人を見つけてくれ」ではなく、「誰か、僕のことを愛すべき人だと気づいてくれ」なのだと思う。

さらに言い換えると、「誰か僕を、愛するに値する人間だと認めてくれ」なんだと思う。

と、ここまで長々と思い入れたっぷりに語ってきたけど、俺は残念ながら英語を使いこなせるわけではない。

「そんなわけねーだろ」といいことがあれば、ご指摘頂けると有難い。
