Ah, thanks, I was wondering about that actually.
Come to think of it, not one of these stories has actually mentioned any kind of controversial disagreement between candidates. They have elections, but for the life of me I have no idea what it matters. I am actually interested in the European debt crisis, but these stories drain all the blood out of the issue. I think it's just years and years of studying Japanese has raised my tolerance for tedius material to a very high level. If you can draw thousands of Chinese characters, you can slug through anything, really. I've also been staring at thousands of lines of computer code for years and years, and I think this has also help build up my ability to sit and grind on stuff day after day. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

more class readings.
度々＝たびたび＝often テキストを一段落ずつ生徒に声を出して読ま せるということは、日本の学校の国語の授業 でも度々行う。 In Japanese language lessons at Japanese schools it often occurs that a student is made to readone paragraph of text out loud. 「はい、○○君、良く読めましたね。では△ △さん、次の段落を読んでください」となる 。 "Hello, XX, well read. So, XX, please read the next paragraph." kind of thing. 掻い摘む＝かいつまむ＝to sum up ところが、ソビエト学校の場合、一段落読み 終えると、その内容を自分の言葉で掻い摘ん で話すことを求められるのだ。 However, in the the case of the Soviet school system, after the paragraph is read, it is requested that the contents is summed up in one's own words. おおよそ＝about かなりスラスラ文字を読み進められるように なり、おおよその内容も理解できるようにな った私も、この掻い摘んで話す、ということ だけは大の苦手だった。 Just in the way that the letters smoothly progress as they are read, even I, who came to understand only roughly the contents, told my summation, though that was a not very good. 絶句＝ぜっく＝loss for words 立ち尽くす＝たちつくす＝to stand still in shock 当然、絶句してもまい先生が諦めてくれるま で立ち尽くすということになる。 Naturally, my teacher, who is never at a loss for words, gave up on me and stood there in shock. 非＝ひ＝un 大目に見る＝to tolerate 非ロシア人ということで大目に見てくれてい たのだ。 Un-Russian-like ways could be tolerated. 執念深い＝しゅうねんぶかい＝vindictive ところが、トラゴンは執念深かった。 However, the 'dragon' was vindictive. なかなか諦めてくれない。 She very much wouldn't give up on me. 十二分＝more than enough しかし、十二分に楽しんだはずの本の内容を 話して聞かせようとするのだが、簡単な単語 すら出てこないのである。 However, even though more than enough fun has been had making everyone listen to me talk of the book's contents, even the sample works just wouldn't come up. 俯く＝うつむく＝hang one's head in shame 俯いて沈黙するわたしに、トラゴンは助け舟 をだしてくれた。 As I hanged my head in quiet shame, the 'dragon' set out a rescue bout to me. 「主人公の名前は？」 "What was the protagonist's name? 「ナターシャ・・・・・・ナターシャ・アル バートヴァ」 Natasha... Natasha Anatovia 「歳は幾つぐらいで、職業は？」 How old was she? What was her job? 「ハチ。 ガッコウイク。ニネン。」 8 years old. She went to school, her second year. 「ふーん、八歳で、普通学校の二年生なのね 、それで」 Well, 8 years old, An ordinary school Sophomore, so therefore? （中略） 傾ける＝かたむける＝to incline 全身全霊＝complete devotion. 獰猛＝どうもう＝ferocity あらすじ＝summary 曲がりなりにも＝though imperfect 言い当てる＝to guess right わたしの話を聞き取ることに全身全霊を傾け ている、ドルゴンの獰猛に輝く青緑色の瞳に 吸い込まれるようにして、わたしは何とか本 のあらすじを最後まで話し、さらには作者の メッセージを曲がりなりにも言い当てること ができた。 Concentrating her total and complete devotion to understanding my words, as I inhaled the dragon's feircely glittering blue-green pupils, in the end I said some kind of summary to the book, finally, I was able to guess, though imperfectly, the author's message. 催促＝さいそく＝request 飽き足る＝to be satisfied それでもドラゴンは飽き足らず、二冊目の本 について話すよう催促し、同じような執念深 さで聞き取っていく。 With that the dragon was not satisfied, and she demanded I spead on the next book, and she listened to me with the same kind of vindictivies. 尋問＝じんもん＝questioning 疲労困憊＝ひろうこんぱい＝total exhaustion 朦朧＝もうろう＝dim 金輪際＝こんりんざい=bottom of the earth 御免被る＝ごめんこうむる＝receive permission,to retire, to refuse 睨まれる＝にらまれる＝to have an eye kept on one 金縛り＝かなしばり＝feeling of paralysis ようやくドラゴンから放免されて図書室から 出てきたときは、疲労困憊して朦朧とした意 識の中で、金輪際ドラゴンの尋問は御免被り たいとおもったはずなのに、まるで肉食獣に 睨まれて金縛りにあった小動物のように、わ たしは図書館の本を借り続けた。 Finally at the time the dragon let me go from the library room, in the midst of a fog of total exhaustion, and despite the fact that I thought that I should want to refuse, quite like a small animal who is being watched by a carnivore, I kept on borrowing books from the library. 返却＝へんきゃく＝return of something そして、返却するときにドラゴンに語り聞か せることを想定しながら読むようになった。 And then at the time to return them, it became like I read while hypothesizing about the dragons's story that she made me listen to. 並行＝へいこう＝side by side 簡潔＝かんけつ＝brevity 腐心＝ふしん＝taking great pains to 活字を目で追うのと並行して、内容をできる だけ簡潔にかつ面白く伝えようと腐心してい るのである。 Side by side, chasing the words with my eyes, taking great pains to convey as well as I could the contents concisely. 形だけ＝merely for form's sake いつもの＝usual ある日、国語の授業で、声を出して読み終え た後、国語教官はいつものように期待せずに 、形だけの要求をした。 That day, in the language lesson, after I finished reading out loud, without the usual expectation of the language instructor, she made reuests of me only for form's sake. 「では、今読んだ内容を掻い摘んで話してく ださい」 "So, on contents today's reading, please summarize." わたしは自分でもビックリするほどスラスラ とそれをやってのけだ。 I was surprised by myself, to the extent I was able to smoothy do what she asked. いつのまにか、わたしの表現力の幅と奥行き は広がっていたのだった。 Before you knew it, the width and bredth of my ability to express myself had expanded. 呆気＝あっけ＝dumfounded 国語教官もクラスメイトたちも、しばし呆気 にとられて静まりかえった。 My languyage teacher and even my classmates, for a short while were taken aback in silence. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Your translations are getting better and better, though <3 (one tiny thing: afaiu, it's not like you can come to any post office and be sure you can vote there. that sentence is more like "there are polling stations at post offices, at blabla...") 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

>do you even know that Haavisto is openly gay?
No, I had absolutely no idea of this at all. I find this strangely amusing, actually. 1 person has voted this message useful |
