プロ野球「愚民なら熱狂しすぎる話」

お気に入りのチームが常に勝ち続けることはない。首位のチームでも下位のチームに負ける。優秀な投手でも新人の打者に撃たれる。そこで一喜一憂するのは賢明ではない。その間に支配の側は許されない法案が国会を通過するように活動している。
It is an impossible myth that our favorite baseball team should continue to win the matches because the leading team lose the bottom one, and vice versa, and the able pitcher allows the rookie athlete to hit a home run, in short, we shouldn’t become disappointed when our team cannot win the game, simultaneously, we shouldn’t be too explosively enthusiastic when it win the game, too.
Such behaviors towards the game results shouldn’t be something desirable and sensible because numerous negative bills would pass through the Diet while we are absorbed in the sports, screens and entertainments.

ワイルドスワンを読むと文化大革命の最中に暴力を振るいたくなかった主人公の苦悩が感じられる。クラスメイトの中には凶暴な紅衛兵になった者もいた。純粋な若者を暴力装置に変えた下衆な独裁者に腹が立つ。だがこれは資本主義でもあり得る。
When we read “Wild Swan,” we cannot but feel the main character’s annoyances and agonies, who didn’t wanted to resort to violence during the Great Cultural Revolution.
Several of her classmates were changed into someone violent as the Red Guards, but we shouldn’t blame them because the incapable chicken should be responsible for these undesirable situations, explosive confusions.
We should become furious towards the director because he changed numerous pure youngsters into gangsters.
But, such chaos could occur in the communism world.

学習塾に来る生徒は親に強制されて来ている者が多い。高校生は自分の意思で来ている者もいる。自習室は充実しているし図書館もいいのがない。生徒の親は塾の経営を継続するのに必要だ。辞めてもらっては困る。だからこそ合格させねばと思う。
Our workplace has numerous students who are made to come here to take several lessons by their parents, on the other hand, several high school students voluntarily might study with their own will because they could use the empty space to study something for themselves, at the same time, there aren’t any satisfactory libraries.
We need their parents to pay the fees and tuitions for us to run the cram school, so our students shouldn’t run away from us, considering this, we must make efforts and take pains for them to gain the reception letters.
