『坊ちゃん』のように。。。 Just like "Bocchan"...
夏目漱石の『坊ちゃん』を読んだことがありますか。私にとって夏目漱石と言えば、『こころ』なんですけれど、高校2年の時、現国の教科書に載っていましたが、途中までしか話はなく、この先どうなるんだろう？と思って、テスト前に原文を全部読んで、かなりのショックを受けたのを覚えています。
Have you ever read "Bocchan" before? Talking of Soseki Natsume, it is "Kokoro" for me though. When I was 17, I read it in a Japanese textbook. But it wasn't described till end. I was wondering what the conclusion was. So I read the paperback before the night when I would take a test. However, I still remember how I was shocked at the conclusion.
あ、夏目漱石と言えば、ロンドンに留学していて、酷いホームシックにかかったとか・・・。10年前の自分を思い出します。
Talking of Natsume Soseki, he went to London to study and got heavy homesick. It was just like me 10 years ago.
夏目漱石は凄い人ですけれど、夏目漱石（坊ちゃん）＆私（あかね）・・・、共通点がいくつかあります。ロンドン留学、教職についていた。学校の仕事を辞めた。都会出身である。こんな凄い人と自分を並べるのはをこがましいですけれど、学校に勤めていて、嫌なことがあると、『坊ちゃん』を思い出すんですね。
We, Soseki (Bocchan) and I have several common things. Studying in London, working at school and quitting it. Also we were from big cities such as Tokyo and Nagoya. I might be cheeky because I parallel between such a great writer and me.
最終的に、坊ちゃんは学校を辞め、ステータスは失ったけれど、それでも幸せに暮らすという物語。学校のうわべだけの世界。表向き先生と言って威張っていても、常に向上心を持ち勉強強いなければ、ただの人。そんな人たちの世界に飽き飽きしたのです。
In the end, Bocchan quit the school where he worked. He lost his status but he was happy with his life. The school was a superficial world. Teachers there pretended to have dignity but they were never like that rather lazy. So Bocchan was fed up with the world.
坊ちゃん、私もあなたと同じよ～！
To be honest, I have the same feelings as yours!
今、坊ちゃんがこの時代にこの場所にいたら、すっごく語れるのになぁ…。しかし、昔も今も変わってないってことですよね。。。
If he were here, I would talk with him from the bottom of my heart. By the way, schools are nothing different from the modern and the past, aren't they?
坊ちゃんのように、私も地味でも幸せを感じる生活を選択しました。長い文章を書きましたけれど、それが言いたかっただけなのさっ！
As Bocchan selected, I chose modest life. However, I feel happy! What I wanted to say is that!
