ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: Close your eyes... Close your head...
say, what you saw. you can see with mind.
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I saw... darkness. My mind's eye is a void, devoid of sight.
i can light you.
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: Light me then.
<*click*> i light you now. then, what you see? you can see with mind.
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I see a dimly lit room. Shadows dance on the walls, and a faint, eerie glow permeates the space.
Shadow of what?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: The shadows seem to take form, twisting and contorting into strange, indistinct shapes. It's as if they are the embodiment of forgotten fears and hidden desires.
Do you have any idea who is showing it?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I have no idea. The source of these shadows remains hidden, shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
OK, let's leave the mysterious and scary shadow behind. What else can you see in this room?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: In this dimly lit room, I can make out a cluttered assortment of objects. There's an old, tattered book lying open on a dusty table, its pages filled with arcane symbols. A moth-eaten rug covers a portion of the floor, and a cracked mirror hangs on one wall, reflecting distorted images. The air carries a musty scent, and I sense an atmosphere of abandonment and neglect.
You pick book and check it
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I reach out and pick up the old book. Its pages feel brittle and fragile in my hands. As I flip through the pages, the text appears to be written in a language I can't comprehend, filled with cryptic symbols and diagrams. It's a tome of secrets, but its meaning remains elusive.
see book cover
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I examine the cover of the book, trying to discern any details despite the dim light. The cover is worn and weathered, and it bears an intricate design of what appears to be a coiled serpent, its scales formed from shimmering, iridescent colors. Above the serpent, there's a title in elegant script, but it's written in a language I can't decipher. The book exudes an aura of mystique and ancient knowledge.
Is there a place to go? What about the door?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I turn my attention to the room's exit, the door. It stands tall and imposing, made of heavy, dark wood. There's a tarnished doorknob, and the door appears to be slightly ajar, revealing a sliver of what lies beyond. It beckons me to explore further, promising unknown adventures or perhaps even more mysteries.
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I approach the door and grasp the tarnished doorknob. With a gentle push, the door creaks open, revealing a corridor shrouded in shadows. The faint glow from the room behind me barely penetrates the darkness ahead. I step cautiously into the corridor, ready to uncover the secrets that lie beyond.
foward.
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I proceed forward down the shadowy corridor, my footsteps echoing faintly in the dimness. The path ahead seems endless, and the air grows cooler as I delve deeper into the unknown, guided only by the flickering light behind me and the anticipation of what awaits.
foward and look around
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: Continuing down the corridor, I take a moment to look around. The walls are lined with faded, tattered tapestries depicting scenes of ancient battles and mythical creatures. The torch sconces that once held flames have long since burned out, leaving only empty brackets. The air feels heavy with history, and there's a faint, eerie whispering that seems to emanate from the walls themselves, as if they hold secrets untold.
keep going until you discover something
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I press on, the corridor seemingly endless. My journey is shrouded in uncertainty, but I persist, driven by the need to discover what lies ahead. The shadows deepen, and the air grows colder as I continue, my curiosity and determination unwavering.
stop! you here that?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I halt in my tracks, straining my ears to listen. There's a faint, distant sound, almost like a whisper carried on the wind. It's indistinct, but it holds a mysterious allure, beckoning me to investigate further.
listen carefully
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I listen intently, my senses sharpened as I focus on the elusive sound. It becomes clearer, a haunting melody that seems to weave through the very air itself. It's both captivating and eerie, drawing me closer to its source with each haunting note.
who play that?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: The source of the haunting melody remains elusive, hidden in the shadows. It's as if the music emanates from the very walls, an ethereal presence that defies explanation. There is no visible musician, yet the music continues to fill the corridor, casting a spell of enchantment and mystery.
Head to the source of the sound and investigate (dice roll)
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I heed the roll of the dice and embark on a quest to trace the source of the haunting melody. Each step takes me closer to the enchanting sound, and as I round a corner in the corridor, I come upon a door, slightly ajar, from which the music seems to emanate. My heart races with anticipation as I push the door open, eager to unveil the secrets that lie within.
When you open the door, there...
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: When I open the door, there stands a grand chamber bathed in an otherworldly glow. In the center of the room, an ornate grand piano commands attention. The keys move on their own, playing the haunting melody that had drawn me here. But there's no one at the piano.The room is adorned with opulent tapestries and gilded mirrors, reflecting the surreal scene before me. Candlelit chandeliers hang from the ceiling, casting a warm, flickering light that dances across the walls. The air is filled with an intoxicating fragrance, a mix of ancient incense and delicate flowers.At the far end of the room, a figure cloaked in shadows stands beside an enormous, antique bookshelf filled with tomes of forgotten knowledge. Their presence is enigmatic, and their intentions remain unclear.
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I approach the grand piano, its keys still playing the haunting melody. As I inspect it, I notice that there are no visible hands or fingers touching the keys. It's as if the piano itself is possessed by some unseen force, creating the music with an ethereal touch.The piano is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, adorned with intricate carvings and inlaid with precious gemstones. Its keys are made of polished ivory, and they move in perfect harmony with the haunting tune. It's a surreal and mesmerizing sight, leaving me both entranced and bewildered.
Be careful, it might be a man-eating piano.
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: I heed the caution and approach the grand piano with caution. Although it plays on its own, I remain wary of its mysterious nature. The possibility of a man-eating piano lingers in my mind, adding an extra layer of tension to the already surreal scene.
the piano suddenly stops
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: The abrupt halt of the piano's music sends a shiver down my spine. The chamber falls into an eerie silence, broken only by the flickering candlelight. It's as if the very essence of the room holds its breath, waiting for what comes next.
You feel disgusted and turn around. What happened?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: As I turn around, a wave of revulsion washes over me. My senses reel in disgust at the sight before me. The figure that had been cloaked in shadows has now revealed itself, and it is a grotesque, nightmarish entity. Its form is a twisted amalgamation of human and beast, with grotesque, elongated limbs and a maw of sharp, jagged teeth.The once opulent chamber has transformed into a nightmarish lair, with walls adorned in macabre art and gruesome trophies. The air is thick with the stench of decay and despair. I am trapped in a surreal and horrifying nightmare, unable to escape the clutches of this abomination.
it scary. what will you do?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: Fear courses through me as I confront this nightmarish entity and its gruesome lair. In this realm of horrors, I must make a decision. I choose to... confront the entity, my curiosity and determination outweighing my fear, as I seek to uncover the mysteries and secrets that lie within this twisted nightmare.
how?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: With trembling resolve, I take a step forward, slowly approaching the grotesque entity. I attempt to communicate with it, asking it what it wants or why it has brought me here. My voice quivers, but my determination to unravel the enigma that surrounds this nightmarish realm remains steadfast.
any result?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: The grotesque entity regards me with malevolent, glowing eyes, its jagged maw twitching with an unsettling smile. It responds with a guttural, incomprehensible language, filled with whispers and hisses. It becomes apparent that communication with this entity is futile, and its intentions remain shrouded in darkness.As I continue to stand before this nightmarish being, I feel a growing sense of dread, realizing that escape may be the only option left.
surely. what will you do?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: With no hope of communication or understanding, and the nightmarish entity's menacing presence growing more oppressive, I decide to make a hasty retreat. I turn and rush toward the door through which I entered, driven by the instinct to escape the horrors of this surreal nightmare.
Did it go well? Or Bad?
ChatGPT
<rotating_light ALPHABREAKrotating_light>: My escape from the nightmarish realm was fraught with tension and fear, but I managed to reach the door and slam it shut behind me. The grotesque entity and its horrifying lair were left behind, at least for the moment. Whether it went well or bad is a matter of perspective. I survived the encounter, but the mysteries and terrors of that surreal place still haunt my thoughts. The experience was a chilling reminder of the unknown and the horrors that can lurk within it.

[][] 黒緑タッチエルズペス 7-2

四枚の!マナクリで!ペスのダブシンをひねり出す!

初手カーサスバトル、次手赤6除去ときて赤の気持ちが高ぶる。

緑よりつつ赤の大型とっていたら2パック目ペス。白赤かぁと思いきやヤーグルと全軍突撃が周り、黒緑アンコも来たので黒緑へ。

オーラバトルこずタッチできるか悩んだがマナクリ3体来た時点でペス入れる気に。4枚目は流石になやんだが…アンコは強いと信じて。

3パック目ヴォ様でばんじゃっく。マルチ二枚目

2マナクリーチャーの質が悪く、3マナに1/1、4枚はかなり線が細く不安だった。

実戦ではやはり序盤にぼこぼこになりライフ10前後からこちらの盤面がそろいだす感じに。

しかしやはりマルチの倍培養は強かった。マナクリの効果も合わせて6/6や10/10になりヴォ様やエルズペスよりかは培養スケール勝ちした印象。とはいえペス+マナクリで+3、+4しつつ飛ばしたり(5/5マナクリ→場にマナクリ*3→ペスマイナス10/10飛行のマナクリ2パンで買ったり)ヴォ様は2回裏返ったり(それでも1度目はタップとジャイグロで返しに負けたり)とレアレアしく戦えた。

飛行と青黒剣がそろって上から負けるかという場面もあったが培養エンチャreach付与で止められたり、やはり665reachコモンファッティが守ってよし、トランプルでカウンター載せてよしと良い子だった。森サイクリング付きでかなり好き。

到達の大事さを再確認したが、培養エンチャマルチ33到達になるのは環境サイズ的にズルいですね。なんでトークン指定ないのだ。

…ヤーグル?うん、タフ3より圧があるよね。ダイナと合わせて頭数減らせない圧かけつつ培養で削る、とか。実現しなかったけどペス飛ばし20パンチもあるし。最低21交換で嫌いじゃないサイズ。でもやっぱりトランプル持ちを出したかったり速攻倍培養たかったりな盤面になっちゃってバニラだなぁと愛でた。


結局、黒緑マルチがべらぼぉに強いんだけどそれに加え今回3種しか採用してない3マナシナジーが良い。

マナクリ出してマルチ培養が3だし、マナクリだして賛助接死で一体睨みつつタップ3マナ捻出が加速として優秀だった。333が取れなくて不安だったけどこの三人が黒緑のベストメンバーかも。マナクリが好きな組み合わだせたなら賛助からマルチ、と動けた場面もあったが2色でなかったのはしょうがない。

とはいえアンコ依存なのでクイドラCPU評価が変わってくると6枚も拾えないかなと。212賛助もアンコだし。


MOMのクイドラ、昨日から参戦してブロンズから

黒緑タッチ培養 続唱 エスカ 7勝(デッキエクスポート忘れ)

白緑 +1 タッチ続唱 ノーン 7勝 anond:20230430082246

赤青 マルチ3枚も召集、飛行少ない 3勝

黒緑タッチエルズペス 7勝

と4参戦勝ち越しで走り抜けられた。月末ブロンズゴールドという下手さは確かにあったものの、緑を絡めて7勝3連続というのは手ごたえがあった。

今後も黒緑、次点白緑でマルチ優先しつつ緑のサイズで駆け抜けてみたいと思う。今回のドラフト楽しいし。

アメリカ教会リーダー臨死体験イエスの生涯を目撃する話

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1989/10/the-sacrament-and-the-sacrifice?lang=eng

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.

What is the Child Allowance in Japan.

This is a guide for foreign people who want to make money without difficulty.

What is the Child Allowance in Japan?

Now, families will begin receiving about 130 US dollars monthly allowance for every child of junior high school age or younger. From next year, families will get about 260 US dollars month by month. That is to say, if you have 100 children, you can receive about 260,000 US dollar every month. Even adopted children are OK. The only things you need are your certificate of residence in Japan and your children's translated certificates of residence in any countries. Japanese citizenship is not needed. There is no number of children limit.

The Child Allowance is a concrete form of the Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's idealistic theory. He puts emphasis on the spirit of friendship. Thus, you don't need to hesitate to receive. Welcome to Japan.

FAQ

How much do you receive?

You can receive about 130 US dollars monthly allowance for every child of junior high school age or younger.

Is there no upper income limit?

No, there is no limit.

What is needed?

All you have to do is to stay in Japan.

Can adopted children get the Child Allowance?

Legally, there is no obvious distinction between biological children and adopted children.

Can children who stay in abroad receive?

Even if your children live in abroad, you can receive the Child Allowance.

For example, a proprietor of an orphans' home who has 1,000 orphans comes to Japan, does he or she receive the Child Allowance?

He or she will receive 1.56 million US dollars. From next year, about 3.12 million US dollars will be paid.

What is the source of revenue?

The source is a tax which Japanese people pay.

What is the purpose of this guide?

My intention is to make the idiocy of the Child Allowance known all over the world. Now, fool politicians reign over Japan.

グールド自身による(自己の言説の歪曲された利用への)反論(訳は大意)

[T]ransitions are often found in the fossil record. Preserved transitions are not common -- and should not be, according to our understanding of evolution (see next section) but they are not entirely wanting, as creationists often claim. [He then discusses two examples: therapsid intermediaries between reptiles and mammals, and the half-dozen human species - found as of 1981 - that appear in an unbroken temporal sequence of progressively more modern features.]

移行形態化石記録はしばしば発見されています。保存された移行形態は一般的ではありませんが、そしてそれは私たちの断続平行説が正しいのであればそうあるべきですが、まったく欠如している、そう創造論者は主張していますが、そういうわけではありません。

Faced with these facts of evolution and the philosophical bankruptcy of their own position, creationists rely upon distortion and innuendo to buttress their rhetorical claim. If I sound sharp or bitter, indeed I am -- for I have become a major target of these practices.

こういった進化事実と彼ら自身の哲学的立場の破綻に直面して、創造論者は彼らの修辞的な主張を強化するために、歪曲と暗示に頼っています。もし私が辛辣に見えるのならば、実際その通りなのですが、それは私が彼らの実践の主要なターゲットとなっているからです。

I count myself among the evolutionists who argue for a jerky, or episodic, rather than a smoothly gradual, pace of change. In 1972 my colleague Niles Eldredge and I developed the theory of punctuated equilibrium. We argued that two outstanding facts of the fossil record -- geologically "sudden" origin of new species and failure to change thereafter (stasis) -- reflect the predictions of evolutionary theory, not the imperfections of the fossil record. In most theories, small isolated populations are the source of new species, and the process of speciation takes thousands or tens of thousands of years. This amount of time, so long when measured against our lives, is a geological microsecond . . .

私は自分を徐々に漸進的に変化が起きるというよりも、気まぐれで断続的に起きると考える進化論者のひとりであると考えています。

Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationists -- whether through design or stupidity, I do not know -- as admitting that the fossil record includes no transitional forms. Transitional forms are generally lacking at the species level, but they are abundant between larger groups.

(変化に)波があることを説明するために私たちが断続的平衡を主張して以来、何度も何度も創造論者によってデザインやなにやらを通じて、私が化石記録は移行形態を含まないと認めていると引用されたのは、はらわたの煮えくりかえる思いです。移行形態は一般的に種の水準では欠如していますが、それより大きいグループの間では豊富に存在するのです。

毎朝読対訳:就任演説(9)

http://anond.hatelabo.jp/20090121155728

 Our challenges may be new.

(M)我々の試練は新しいのかもしれない。

(A)私たちの挑戦は新しいものかもしれない。

(Y)我々の挑戦は新しいものかもしれない。

 The instruments with which we meet them may be new.

(M)それに立ち向かうための道具も、新しいかもしれない。

(A)立ち向かう手段も新しいものかもしれない。

(Y)我々がそれに立ち向かう手段も新しいものかもしれない。

 But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism -

(M)我々が成功するかどうかは、労働と誠実さ、勇気、フェアプレー、忍耐、好奇心忠誠心愛国心にかかっている。

(A)だが、成否を左右する価値観は、勤労と誠実さ、勇気と公正さ、寛容と好奇心、忠誠と愛国心、といったものだ。

(Y)しかし、我々の成功は、誠実や勤勉、勇気、公正、寛容、好奇心忠誠心愛国心といった価値観にかかっている。

 - these things are old. These things are true.

(M)古くから言われていることだ。だが、真実だ。

(A)これらは古くから変わらない。そしてこれらは真理だ。

(Y)これらは、昔から変わらぬ真実である。

 They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history.

(M)それは歴史進歩させた静かな力だった。

(A)私たちの歴史を通じて、これらは前に進む静かな力となってきた。

(Y)これらは、歴史を通じて進歩を遂げるため静かな力となってきた。

 What is demanded then is a return to these truths.

(M)今求められているのは、こうした真理への回帰だ。

(A)必要なのは、こうした真理に立ち返ることだ。

(Y)必要とされるのは、そうした真実に立ち返ることだ。

 What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility -

(M)責任を果たすべき新たな時代だ。

(A)今私たちに求められているのは、新たな責任の時代だ。

(Y)いま我々に求められているのは、新しい責任の時代に入ることだ。

 - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.

(M)我々米国人一人ひとりが、自分自身や国家世界に義務を負っていることを認識し、こうした義務を嫌々ではなく、喜んで受け入れることだ。私たちにとって、困難な仕事に全力で立ち向かうことほど、自らの性格定義し、精神をみたすものはない。

(A)それは、一人ひとりの米国人が、私たち自身や我が国、世界に対する責務があると認識することだ。その責務は嫌々ではなく、むしろ困難な任務にすべてをなげうつことほど心を満たし、私たち米国人を特徴づけるものはないという確信のもとに、喜んで引き受けるべきものだ。

(Y)米国民一人ひとりが自分自身と自国、世界に義務を負うことを認識し、その義務をいやいや引き受けるのではなく喜んで機会をとらえることだ。困難な任務に我々のすべてを与えることこそ、心を満たし、我々の個性を示すのだ。

 This is the price and the promise of citizenship.

(M)これが市民であることの代償と約束だ。

(A)これが市民であることの代償と約束である。

(Y)これが市民の代償であり約束なのだ。

 This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.

(M)これが私たちの自信の源泉だ。神が未知の運命を自らの手で形作るよう、我々に求めたものだ。

(A)これが、不確かな行き先をはっきりさせることを神が私たちに求めているという、私たちの自信の源でもある。

(Y)これが我々の自信の源なのだ。神が、我々に定かではない運命を形作るよう命じているのだ。

  This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.

(M)なぜ男性女性子供たちも、どのような人種宗教の人々も、こうして就任式に集まることができるのか。なぜ約60年前なら地元レストランで給仕されなかった可能性のある男の息子が、こうして皆さんの前で宣誓式に臨むことができるのか。これこそが、我々の自由、我々の信条意味なのだ。

(A)これが、私たちの自由と信念の意味だ。なぜあらゆる人種信仰男性女性子供がこの広大な広場に集い、共に祝えるのか。そしてなぜ、60年足らず前だったら地元レストランで食事をさせてもらえなかったかもしれない父を持つ男が、(大統領就任の)神聖な宣誓のためにあなたたちの前に立つことができるのか、ということだ。

(Y)これが我々の自由と信条意味なのだ。なぜ、あらゆる人種信条の男女、子どもたちが、この立派なモールの至る所で祝典のため集えるのか。そして、なぜ60年足らず前に地元食堂で食事することを許されなかったかもしれない父親を持つ男が今、最も神聖な宣誓を行うためにあなた方の前に立つことができるのか。
