吉川英治の「ストレート・トーク」

Power of people

Power of people is a great thing.

However, when people are rotten,

the world will end.

「市民パワー」は、いい。

ただし、その市民のレベルによっては、

世界の終わりを早める。

Driven by passion

If you're not driven by passion,

what you do has a serious problem.

情熱が原動力じゃない限り、

やってることは まやかし

Killing for fun

Some animals do kill to survive.
But only men kill and massacre

for money and fun.

動物は、他の生き物を食べたりする。
お金のためや単に遊びで殺しまくるのは人間だけ。

Mamas try so hard.

Many mothers do so much best,

beyond the best on everything to

provide their children, except

"truest education", the most crucial.

So much time and effort on the unnecessities.

Nothing on what children really need.

Why?

Because they grew up as a new robot

in the moneymaking robot family and

went to wrong schools.

お母さんが強烈にベストを尽くすことの多くが

「どうでもいいこと」

「一番肝心な」世界的な教養を正しく

身につけることの逆方向まっしぐら。

なんで教養を無視？

ママもパパも教養の意味さえ知らないから。

Mother's boys and wives

Japanese wives suffer so much from

marrying Japanese men that are mostly

"mother's boy".

These wives are required to be perfect

on everything, so that they're extremely

well-organized.

When they cook for kids, they serve soup,

tea at the perfect temperature.

Steaks are cut in little pieces, butter and

jam are spread nicely to every corner of

the bread, make the best-looking lunch

box, so that kids can proudly show it to

other kids.

As a result, they raise perfect mother's

boys that'd mess up their future wives.

The young wife will be dictated by

her mother-in-law.

* Japan is ranked the 104th in

Global Gender Gap Report 2014 by

World Economic Forum. (105th in 2013)

ニホンの男はマザコンだから奥さん達は大被害を被る。

被害者なのに完璧を要求される。

完璧ママ達はクッキングも完璧。

テーブルに出す時のスープの温度、

食べ易いように刻んだステーキ、

隅々まで上手に塗ったバターとジャム。

弁当も芸術品。

そうして完璧なマザコンを育成して

やがて彼の奥さんをいじめ抜く。

経済先進国の中でダントツ最下位の超未熟国

Choosing high schools

Many mothers force their children to

go to the best high school in town

(=push kids to pass the entrance exam),

so that she can proudly tell other

mothers about it and their kids can

support mothers financially by

becoming later on when they

become doctors or lawyers.

Fathers try to send kids to exactly

same schools he went, so that they'll

"stay small" in the same boring little

town just like fathers and everything

will be "under control" just as he's

planning to use up children.

Teachers don't let students take

entrance exams at high schools if

the schools require even a slightly

higher scores than students may

get even if the students are working

very hard in order to get there in

coming 6 months or so.

Why?

Because the teachers won't be

promoted if 90-100% of the

students pass the exam.

おっかさんたちは、とにかく子供を有名校へ。

自慢するためにも 将来、子供に

自分の面倒を見させるためにも。

パパは、自分が行ったのと

まったく同じ中学、高校に行かせたい。

子供を同じ町に縛り付けて

コントロールする「盆栽作戦」

教師は、どんなに生徒が

「あの学校を目指して猛勉強する」と言っても、

絶対に受かるとこだけしか受けさせない。

そうすれば「全員合格」となって、株が上がる。

New year resolution

I will do this.

I will be better on that.

I will improve and achieve ..

.. I wish all those new year resolutions

were really working out the way they

promised to themselves, so that the

world would be a great place with many

million people and million good resolutions.

World peace is up to each person.

「新年は、これをする」「今年は、こんな人間になる」

... 新年の誓いは、いいことばかりなのに、世の中は悪化。

誓いは、さっぱり実現してない。

世界の平和は、個人個人の心がけ次第。

Don't bully

Bullying is bad.

Smashing by tanks is fine.

いじめは、いけない。

他国を戦車で破壊するならいいみたい。

国がやってる。

Say peace

You say peace, you'll be in jail.

You say kill, you'll be a president.

「平和」と言うと、牢屋に。

「殺せ」と言うと、大統領に。

For keeping illegal wheels ..

By keeping illegal cars, you get punished.

If you keep tanks, they'll give you more budget.

違法の車は罰則を受ける。

戦車を並べたら、もっと予算をもらえる。
