2017年になりました。2016年は無事 The Writers' Workshop を完走できたので、2017年も引き続き頑張りたいと思います。
今月は現代小説がテーマでした。
奇数月は短めの文章が題材で、淡々とした口調でもあったので英訳はしやすかったのですが、「火照る」「燃えさかる」「たくましい」「強烈な」など似たような単語が多く出てくるので、類似語を調べてなるべく同じ単語を使わないようにしました。
In the night of Bombing of Sendai during World War II, Michiyo was holding Kozo's back desperately, who was running in blazing fire to save her. Warmth from his body, his robustness and smell of his sweat were deeply carved in young Michiyo's heart.
Since then, Kozo has become a significant person for her.
When she thought of him, she always felt a strong heat burning her heart and body.
She was ten and didn't know anything about the relationships between men and women, but that unreasonable feeling governed her at that time.
She forgot him after a while when he had left for Tokyo to study in university.
