この町では英語よりフランス語🇫🇷 More French than English is used in this town.

近所のおばさんに「いい天気ですね」とあいさつされ「本当にいい天気」と私。未だ梅雨？？
A lady in the neighborhood greeted me, “It’s nice weather, isn’t it?” and I said, “It’s really nice weather.” I don’t like the rainy season, so the heat doesn’t bother me that much, but is the rainy season over?

神楽坂は５番人気らしい。理由は、飯屋が多い、交通便利、道のスケールが小さくていい、寺神社が多い、だから祭りも多い、適度なコミュニティ感、いい本屋がある、並木、一通で車が少ない、坂が多くて道が湾曲している、いくつかの界隈、歩道幅の比率が高い、などが住人になって感じること。
Kagurazaka seems to be the 5th most popular. The reasons are many restaurants, convenient transportation, small roads, many temples and shrines, so there are many festivals, a moderate sense of community, good bookstores, rows of trees, few cars on the road, many slopes. the road is curved, some neighborhoods, and the ratio of sidewalk width is high. As a resident, I feel these.

物事成就するなら背水の陣をしけと昨日書いたら、背水の陣とはどういうことですかと聞かれた。答えは逃げ道を自ら断つこと。手前味噌だが、受験は中学で一校だけしてそこに行き、大学は浪人して東工大しか受けなかった。留学も願書はUCLAにしか出してない。就活はしない。教員の応募も信大にしかしてない。運がいいねと言われる。そうかもしれないが、こういうのを背水の陣という。それなりに入念な計画と準備なくして成功はしない。When I wrote yesterday that if things were to come to fruition, you have to get your back to the wall. then I was asked what I meant by it. The answer is to cut off the escape route yourself. My experience is that I only took one exam in junior high school and went there. I only took entrance exams for Tokyo Tech. I only applied to UCLA to study abroad. I’m not looking for a job. Shindai only accepts applications for teaching positions. They say you’re lucky. It may be so, but this kind of formation is getting your back to the wall. Success cannot be achieved without careful planning and preparation.

ギター上達法を先生に聞いた。答えはそっけない「必要に迫られたら上手くなる」だった。どうしたら博論かけますかと聞かれたら「必要に迫られたら書ける」が答え。僕も、岩澤さんも、大村も背水の陣で臨んだから書けた。どうしたら本が書けますか？と聞かれたら自分を追い込むことと答えるだろう。結局人間は楽な方に流れる、流れないようにしないと物事は成就しない。I asked the teacher how to improve the guitar. technique. The answer was short-handed, “You get better when you have to.” When I was asked how you could write a doctoral thesis, the answer was, “You can write if you have to.” I, Mr. Iwasawa, and Mr. Omura could write because we had to. how can i write a book If you ask me, I will answer that I could push myself. In the end, people tend to take the easy way out. So if you want to achieve something you have to get rid of the easy way.
