ロバート・ホワイティング NHK教育テレビ英会話インタビュー①

2011-02-28 20:40:06 | 野球

「Baseball and the Japanese」と題して、
かつて、NHK教育テレビの英会話番組で、日本の野球に詳しいアメリカ人の作家ロバートホワイティング氏が、日本の野球についてインタビューを受けたことがありました。

インタビューアーは当時、NHK教育テレビの英会話講師であった松本道弘先生でした。

最近、斉藤投手についての記事が多いので、その関連で、その番組の一部をこのブログに、紹介してみたいと思います。

何故、日本人は野球が好きなのか?
という問いに対して、

ホワイティング氏は四つの理由を挙げています。

まずは、第一番目の理由です。

Matsumoto: Why has Japan chosen baseball ?  Why Japanese people love baseball so much ?  You know, Docter Nitobe Inazo said that baseball is a pickpockets' sport. He objected the introduction of baseball. Are you aware of the fact?

Whiting: Yes, I am. Well, I'm glad you asked that question, because I just happen to have my own pet theory about why the Japanese like baseball.
I think when Dr. Inazo made that statement, Keio and Waseda were already drawing capacity crowds to the baseball games they were playing, so I mean he was fighting a lost cause. The four basic points, I think, are, one, that baseball was the first group game that was played in Japan, first group game to be introduced in Japan. At that time there were only the martial arts, the one-to-one confrontations, and sumo, which was odd, because Japan, as we all knows, is a country where people have their identities rooted in the group that they belong to, and this, baseball being a group sport, gave the Japanese their opportunity to practice their group proclivities on an athletic field. And you even see that today. There's more emphasis on the bunting, and hit-and-run, and the teamwork aspect of the game, whereas in America it's on the individual aspect of it.

Fighters' Saito tosses scoreless inning in preseason debut

NAGO, Okinawa Pref. (Kyodo) Yuki Saito, the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters' highly touted rookie, pitched one scoreless inning in his first preseason game on Saturday, contributing in a 9-8 win over the Chiba Lotte Marines.

Saito got his first taste on the mound, coming in at the top of sixth. He walked designated hitter Shoitsu Omatsu and yielded a one-out double to pinch-hitter Naotaka Takehara, but escaped the jam with runners on second and third by retiring the next two batters.

"It gave me confidence that I could keep the opposing team scoreless in that situation," Saito said.

Makoto Kaneko went 2-for-2 with four RBIs and newcomer Micah Hoffpauir hit a solo homer for the Fighters. Ikuhiro Kiyota hit a two-run drive for Lotte.

In other preseason games, it was Seibu Lions 6, Yakult Swallows 3; Rakuten Eagles 8, Chunichi Dragons 3; Softbank Hawks 1, Hiroshima Carp 0; Yokohama BayStars 4, Yomiuri Giants 1; Orix Buffaloes 1, Hanshin Tigers 0.

Saito throws scoreless inning against Samsung Lions

The wildly popular 22-year-old, taking the mound in the fourth inning as the Fighters' second pitcher, struck out the first batter swinging and retired the next two on ground balls in front of 5,200 spectators at Nago Stadium in Okinawa Prefecture.

The fastest pitch of his 14-pitch outing was 139 kilometers per hour.

"I didn't get nervous," Saito said. "It's so great to have pro baseball players out there backing me up. That made me feel that I've finally become a pro."

The Fighters' No. 1 pick out from Waseda University in the fall 2010 draft has been the focus of media attention among baseball players since the start of spring training two weeks ago.

Saito became a national hero in August 2006 when he led Waseda Jitsugyo to the national high school championship title.

He opted to play college baseball rather than turn pro.

His rival Masahiro Tanaka, who lost to Saito in the high school championship final, joined the Rakuten Eagles as their top 2006 draft pick and won the Rookie of the Year award in 2007 on his way to becoming an established star pitcher in Japan.

Saito became only the sixth pitcher in Japanese college baseball history to amass 30 wins and 300 strikeouts over four years in the Tokyo Big Six League.

Japanese Isle in Sea of Contention Weighs Fist Versus Open Hand

YONAGUNI ISLAND, Japan — This remote island in the rough East China Sea is known for its gigantic moths, fiery Okinawan alcohol and an offshore rock formation that some believe to be the submerged ruins of a lost, Atlantis-like civilization.

Now, Tokyo is drawing up plans to add something else: about 100 soldiers from the Self-Defense Force, Japan’s military.

Yonaguni, with three tiny villages and a small airport, is Japan’s westernmost point, a place from which Taiwan is visible on a clear day. It is also the closest spot of inhabited land to the Senkakus, a small group of uninhabited islets controlled by Japan but also claimed by China and Taiwan, which call them the Diaoyu Islands.

This put Yonaguni and its 1,600 mostly aging residents uncomfortably close to a bruising diplomatic showdown with Beijing last September over a Chinese trawler detained near the Senkakus, which resulted in Tokyo’s backing down. The government of Prime Minister Naoto Kan has since vowed to beef up defenses for Japan’s “outlying islands,” and it appears close to a decision on the small Yonaguni garrison, a plan that has been under discussion for years.

“China keeps coming, and all we have protecting us now is a pair of pistols,” said Yonaguni’s mayor, Shukichi Hokama, referring to the two policemen who are the island’s only security presence.

But the deployment plan has created an uncharacteristic uproar on this normally sleepy island. A local election held in September, in the midst of the trawler standoff, turned into a bitterly fought referendum over whether to accept the garrison, with supporters winning four of the six town council seats up for grabs.

The supporters of the garrison, led by Mr. Hokama, say they hope the base brings not only peace of mind but also an influx of badly needed jobs and youthful residents, especially if the soldiers come with their families. They hope this will provide a lift for an economically depressed island that currently lacks either a high school or a hospital, and where the number of residents has fallen by 250, or almost 15 percent of the population, during the past decade alone.

Still, the plan faces deep resistance in Yonaguni, a part of the Okinawan chain, where bitter memories linger of how the Japanese military turned its guns on Okinawan civilians during World War II.

Opponents also say they fear the soldiers would scare away what they see as the island’s best chance for an economic future — investors and tourists from vibrant Taiwan, just 65 miles away, which has been rapidly gaining on Japan in terms of economic development.

“Our choice is between seeking economic exchange with Taiwan, or bringing in the Self-Defense Forces,” said Shoichi Miyara, a sugar cane farmer. “Do we embrace or resist?”

For the leader of the opponents, Yosuke Azato, a 68-year-old retired phone-line repairman, the answer is clearly to embrace. Mr. Azato said that before the war, Yonaguni had close economic ties with Taiwan, then a Japanese colony. Growing up after the war, he said, he remembers Yonaguni as a thriving hub for smuggling into Taiwan, which swelled the island’s population to more than 12,000 until American occupation forces cracked down in the 1950s.

Last year, he began a one-man effort to revive trade links with Taiwan, though in a more legal form. He bought several tons of fertilizer in Taiwan, which he could sell to Yonaguni’s sugar cane farmers more cheaply than the high-priced fertilizer shipped from the main islands of Japan nearly 650 miles away.

“The best protection we can have is to be economic partners with them,” he said.

Other garrison opponents fear that the soldiers may bring noise and crime, echoing criticisms made on Okinawa’s main island about its large American military presence.

Mr. Miyara, the farmer, said he was turned against the base idea last year when 120 Self-Defense Force members came to Yonaguni as volunteers to help with an annual marathon.

“They littered the public toilets with cigarette butts and scolded our children,” said Mr. Miyara, 60. “They will ruin our peacefulness.”

That peace is already being disturbed. When Japan’s defense minister visited the island last March, opponents hung large banners along roads pledging to resist a Self-Defense Force presence.

The banners, which still hang flapping in the wind, seem out of place on this mountainous island where cows outnumber people, and where the only sound is often the crash of waves against cliffs, or the rustling of sugar cane fields.

Mr. Hokama, the mayor, rejected the opposition’s argument that the garrison would harm ties with Taiwan. Since taking office five years ago, he said, he has frequently visited Taiwan and has opened an office for the island in the Taiwanese city of Hualien.

“Taiwan has an army, too,” said Mr. Hokama, 62. “They understand the threat from mainland China better than anyone.”

He said many islanders also felt a personal connection to the Senkakus, which sit about 90 miles to the north. As a child, Mr. Hokama said, he visited the island group twice with his father, a fisherman who used to ferry supplies to a fish processing plant that once operated on one of the Senkakus but closed more than 30 years ago.

Mr. Hokama said he used to be a socialist who opposed the Self-Defense Force’s very existence as a violation of Japan’s pacifist Constitution. But he said he became a base proponent after Chinese ships began appearing in nearby waters a decade or so ago.

Shinko Kinjo, the owner of a small distillery that makes the island’s potent awamori spirits, underwent a similar political conversion. He said he used to vote for Japan’s Communist Party; now, he leads the Yonaguni Defense Association, a rightist group that calls for a stronger military.

“China will be claiming our island next,” said Mr. Kinjo, 67, who decorated his office with military photographs and a large United States flag given to him by the crew of a visiting American minesweeper.

While some like Mr. Kinjo said they believed that the United States would help Japan against Chinese threats, others said it was time for Japan to prepare to defend itself. Younger islanders said the September trawler showdown had a particularly large effect on pushing local attitudes to the right.

Hitomi Maehamamori, a 28-year-old part-time worker, said she used to be uninterested in politics. But Ms. Maehamamori, who wore a blue kimono as she joined a recent festival of Okinawa’s animist religion, said the trawler episode had shocked her.

“Why is China doing this?” she asked. “I am O.K. with the Self-Defense Forces if they keep away the Chinese ships.”

Apple創始者・スティーヴ・ジョブスの伝説のスピーチ(2)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1422863/posts

My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept. No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late Sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. it was sort of like Google in paperback form thirty-five years before Google came along. I was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues of the The Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-Seventies and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath were the words, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. "Stay hungry, stay foolish." And I have always wished that for myself, and now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Thank you all, very much.

Apple創始者・スティーヴ・ジョブスの伝説のスピーチ(1)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1422863/posts

Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.

Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another eighteen months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife, except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.

This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I naïvely chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out, I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example.

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer was beautifully hand-calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me, and we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.

If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.

Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.

My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was twenty. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned thirty, and then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so, things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at thirty, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me. I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I'd been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.

In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.

Choose Sagely 

Today, the paramount influence in the forming of public opinion is propaganda.

【Words】
paramount:最高の,至上の、最も重要な,主要な,卓越[傑出]した

It is not a heresy to our democratic beliefs to state that pressure groups play an important part in our lives.

【Words】
heresy:an opinion or doctrine contrary to the orthodox tenets of a religious body or church

Propaganda makes one vulnerable to the influences of others.

The prudent person will choose between cogent and specious propaganda efforts.

【Words】
prudent :
cogent:説得力のある
specious:うわべはよく見える、見掛け倒しの

While propaganda has the ostensible purpose of informing the public, the most fervid propagandists use methods that must be examined by the thoughtful citizen.

【Words】
ostensible:表向きの、見せかけの、表面上の
fervid:熱烈な、熱情的な

The ability to distinguish the spurious from the true facts requires more than a perfunctory examination of prevalent propaganda efforts.

【Words】
spurious:にせものの、擬似の
perfunctory:いい加減な、おざなりの
prevalent:広く行き渡った

【今日の注目英語記事】 

ジャパンタイムズの社説に、「National anthem debate」と題して、この前の東京高等裁判所の判決に対する反対意見が書かれています。
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/print/ed20110208a1.html

さすがに、ジャパンタイムズだと思った(笑い)。

ジャパンタイムズの主張したいことは次のように述べられています。

This ruling is difficult to understand. It does not address the likely possibility that forcing teachers to stand before Hinomaru and sing Kimigayo may make some teachers feel that their freedom of thought and conscience are being violated. It seems that the high court thinks that outward actions and inner freedom have nothing to do with each other. The court also forgets an important aspect about a national flag and a national anthem — that they must be accepted spontaneously by people.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

The Supreme Court failed to pay attention to the simple fact that the principal's order brought spiritual pain to the teacher. The Japanese judiciary should fulfill its duty of protecting the rights of people who hold minority opinions.

副島隆彦氏がこの映画の評論を書いている。
http://www.snsi.jp/tops/kouhou

「・・・・・・・・
23年前の「ウォール・ストリート」は"ジャンク債の帝王 マイケル・ミルケンの事件"をモデルにしていた。今度は、大損させた金額も100倍ぐらいになり、もっとおもしろい人物たちの混合物になっている。ゴールドマンサックスやらチャールズ・シュワブやらの経営幹部たちのドロドロの人間劇も見せてくれる。金融と投資の業界は、人間の根源的な欲望(即ち、強欲)の油がヌルヌルと体から出てきてギトギトと混ざり合い、それらの人間の油で築き上げる世界だ。
・・・・・・・・・・
この金融の世界で蠢(うごめ)くことこそは自分の運命であり、同時に至上の喜悦であることを、冷ややかに教えてくれるのは、こういう良質の外国映画という文化・教養である。

だからこれは日本の金融業界の人々の必見の映画である。白眉は、ゲッコーが独白する、「私が牢屋から出てきたら、みんなが投資家になっていた」という言葉である。笑い転げるでは済まない。 (了)」

なかなか面白そうで、株をやっている人間として、この映画は是非とも見たいですね。
そして、投資ということについて、じっくり考えてみたい。
