火車「読んだ本の紹介がデフォルトの話」

このアプリで文を書く時はスマホのメモ帳機能が抜群に役立つと思う。よく使う語は人工知能が予測してくれる。スペルが曖昧な英単語も選択肢が与えられる。正しいものをタッチする。
A smartphone is equipped with various convenience, one of which is a memo function, with which we could write everything from trifles to something vital, so we can safely call it a holly or sacred function.
An artificial intelligence displays usable expressions on the screen, so we have only to touch one of the choices with our finger, which save us much troublesome.
An artificial intelligence shows us correct spellings when we cannot remember English words obviously.

書き終わったら全コピしてこのアプリに貼り付けるのだ。その際に「読んだ本の感想を書きましょう。」と出てくる。もともとは読者がお互いに本の紹介をするためのものだったのだろう。
After completing this task, we have only to copy the whole sentences we wrote just now, and finally we paste what we copied in advance on note, when this app suggests that we should introduce what we read in the past to the other readers if we have it in our mind.
In the first place, the note’s original function is to do so.

ここまで150以上を書いている。だから中には本の紹介もある。だが「火車」ほどインパクトを感じたものはない。現代社会の経済問題を１人の債務者に焦点を当てて書かれている。
Around 150 articles have been released since I started to work on this app, a few of which featured a novel, but the novel “Fire Car” is by far the most attractive and fascinating one I could introduce to my followers with confidence, which had positive or negative impacts on my attitude toward our society.
This book featured a female debtor in order to explain the economic problems the modern society has suffered from, which ordinary citizens cannot understand easily.

ある男性の結婚相手が失踪する場面から話は始まる。それを刑事が捜査するという展開だ。戸籍も変更されていたりして捜査は難航する。簡単に見つかったら事件としては面白くない。
This story starts from the scene where a certain male’s marriage partner disappeared from him suddenly and a detective began to search for a missing woman.
Her family register was different from an original one because it was altered deliberately by someone, which made his search something challenging.
Its complication makes this mysterious case exciting or thrilling, which also prevents readers from being tired.

欲しいものが何でも手に入るような気がした。結婚相手はクレジットカードを何枚も持つ多重債務者だった。欲しいものがありすぎ。大金を借りているイメージを持てないところがなあ。
She finally confessed to the detective that several credit cards might have supplied her with whatever she had wanted without any conditions.
His marriage partner, actually, was a multiple debtor and she had purchased numerous expensive items.
She might have been affected negatively by numerous advertisements on TV or on the Internet.
Despite it, she couldn’t have the image about herself, who had been loaned much money by several banks.
