上野千鶴子の論文指南書に『情報生産者になる』があり、これはその論文指導を受けた方々の経験談である。いつも新学期が始まる頃にこんな本を読んで刺激をもらい、さて今年のゼミはどうしようかなと考える。まずは最初のゼミまでに読んできてもらおうかな。
There is a book of Chizuko Ueno which is thesis guidance book named “Become an Information Producer”. This is the book of experience of those who received the thesis guidance. I always read such a book around the beginning of the new semester and get inspired, and I wonder what to do with this year’s seminar. I wonder if I ask them to read it by the first seminar.

富士見小屋の照明、スイッチ、キッチン、棚、バーなどなどはコストを下げるために拙宅同様全部支給品とすることにした。ティストを揃えるので会社はtoolbox一社として他は使わない。tool boxのショールームみたいになったらカタログに載せてもらおう。In order to reduce costs, we decided to supply all the lights, switches, kitchen goods, shelves, bars, etc. of Fujimi hut as well as my house. Since we want to keep the tastes, we only use toolbox company. If it looks like a tool box showroom, we ask them to contain it in the catalog.

スタッフに言われた。坂本先生の南湖の家の屋根勾配に近いと。作品集を見ると７.５寸。こっちは８寸。きりの良い数字にしないのは先生譲りだとは思う。実際南湖の家は見せてもらって大好きな建物である。それが記憶の中から顔を出したのならそれはそれでいいことだ。The staff told me. The roof slope of this house is close to that of Mr. Sakamoto’s house in Nago. Looking at the works of him, that is a 7.5 inch gradient. This is an 8 inch gradient. I think it’s the teacher’s influence not to make the round number. In fact, I visited the house in Nago and found it my favorite. It may have come out of my memory. That’ all right.

賞状、楯、記念品、写真の類はだいたい捨てたが、風の塔の文鎮は捨てられない。建物の形の力かな。I threw away most of the certificates, shields, mementos, and photographs, but the paperweight of the Wind Tower cannot be thrown away. Is it the power of the shape of the building?

配偶者が買ってきた真っ赤なペットボトルケースはスピーカー。たまに借りる。
The bright red PET bottle case that my spouse bought is a speaker. I borrow it once in a while.

文章術は数多くあれど、字数を限定したものは見たことがない。しかも200字というのは私の毎朝の文章量。早速買って読んだ。字数を減らすなら主語、形容詞、接続詞は省く、書き出しは短く、会話、数字、地名、人名から入らない。参考にすべきは漢詩。なるほど。There are many books about writing techniques, but I have never seen one with a limited number of characters. Moreover, 200 characters is my amount of text every morning. I bought it immediately and read it. If you want to reduce the number of characters, omit the subject, adjectives, and conjunctions, write short, and do not enter from conversations, numbers, place names, and personal names. Chinese poetry should be used as a reference. Indeed.
