菅首相与小泽的“婚姻大战”
2011年2月1日（火）付
　ジョークの宝庫といえば結婚である。哲人ソクラテス曰（いわ）く。「まず結婚せよ。良妻を得れば幸せに、悪妻なら君は哲学者になるだろう」。青木雨彦さんの『洒落（しゃれ）た関係』から男のざれ言を続ける。
       结婚这事情是笑话取之不尽的宝藏。哲人苏格拉底就说过：“快结婚吧，娶到贤妻你得到幸福，娶到恶妻你会成为哲学家。”青木雨彦写的《潇洒的关系》一书中，列举了很多出自男人之口的笑话。
   夫の証言。「新婚の妻は食べてしまいたいほどかわいかった。あの時食べときゃよかった」。もう一つ。「金曜に結婚すると不幸が起きるというのは本当ですか」。「もちろん」と劇作家のバーナード・ショー。「金曜だけが例外でいられるはずがない」。
       丈夫的证言：“看着新婚时的妻子如此娇嫩可爱，恨不得一口把她吞下去。要那时真的吞下去就好了。”还有一个：“听说在星期五结婚会导致不幸，这是真的吗？”“当然是，不可能单单星期五是例外啊。”这是剧作家肖伯纳说的。
   最後のは、必然を言いたい時に応用が利く。以前なら「月曜に起訴されると有罪になるというのは……」と、問いを換えることもできた。検察の信頼が揺らいだ今は「いや、月曜には例外もある」と答えざるをえない。
       这最后一个笑话，在想说这是理所当然的时候很适合使用。以前的话，我们还可以把笑话的问题替换为“如果在星期一被起诉的话会被判有罪，这是真的吗？”，但在对检察机构的信任产生怀疑的今天，对这问题的回答只能是：“不，星期一也有例外。”
   その検察が諦めた小沢一郎氏の「疑惑」を、検察審査会が法廷へと押し出した。強制起訴された氏は検察嫌いの上、素人の検審が新聞やテレビに流されたと思っているのだろう。無罪を前提に辞職も離党もしない意向という。
       检察审查委员会将把检察官弄得无计可施的小泽一郎的“怀疑”递上了法庭。大概他们认为被强制起诉的小泽很讨厌检察，而且生手检审的事情又被报纸和电视曝了光。据说，小泽在无罪的前提下拒绝辞职和退党。
   民主党の幸不幸は、思えば小沢自由党との「結婚」に始まる。今や別居寸前だが、菅首相が「あの時…」と悔やんでも遅い。たくさん生まれたチルドレンは多くが小沢氏につき、家を出るならそっちと言わんばかりだ。
       民主党的幸与不幸，回想起来都始于跟小泽自由党的结婚。现在是双方面临分居的局面了，但菅首相再悔不当初也都晚了。双方结合生下的众多小孩大部分都站在小泽一边，要被扫地出门的恐怕是菅本人。
   被告席から政治闘争を構える「党内党」を背負い、ねじれ国会の針山を登る首相。今さら哲学者にもなれない。ソクラテスは「天下を動かすには、まず自ら動け」と諭したが、動きようがない。次々と降りかかる難題を前に結束すべき時に、ああ犬も食わない権力劇である。
        从被告席上将引起政治斗争的“党内党”接过手，爬上嫌隙丛生的国会的刀山之巅的菅首相事到如今是哲学家也当不成了。苏格拉底说过：“要搅动天下，首先要自己行动起来。”可菅首相现在是无法动弹。在本应解决一个个接踵而至的难题的时候，我们面前却在上演一出无人关注的权利争斗大戏。

VOX POPULI: Happiness gone, but divorce difficult for DPJ
2011/02/02


Marriage is a treasure trove of jokes. Said the Greek philosopher Socrates (ca. 469 B.C.-399 B.C.): "By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher."

Let me also cite some babbling by men from "Shareta Kankei" (Fancy relationships) by Amehiko Aoki (1932-1991). A husband said: "When we were newly wed, my wife was so scrumptiously cute that she was good enough to eat. I wish I had eaten her then."

Here's one more. "Is it true that when people get married on Fridays, they become unhappy?" asked one man. "Of course," replied the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950). There is no way Fridays can be an exception, he said.

The last remark is useful as it can be applied to explain the inevitable. Before, it could have been changed to, "Is it true that people who are indicted on Mondays get convicted?" But now that public trust for the prosecution has become shaky, we have no choice but to reply, "No, Mondays can also be an exception."

A prosecution inquest committee comprising citizens brought to court "suspicions" against political heavyweight Ichiro Ozawa in connection with irregular funding reports that prosecutors had given up on proving for a lack of evidence.

Ozawa, who was served a mandatory indictment, is known for his aversion to prosecutors. Apparently, he believes the committee made up of ordinary people was influenced by newspapers and television. He said he has no intention to resign or secede on the assumption that he would be acquitted.

Come to think of it, the fate of the Democratic Party of Japan may have been decided when it "married" Ozawa's Liberal Party. Although the two are now on the brink of separation, it would be too late for Prime Minister Naoto Kan to rue the day that they got married.

The marriage gave birth to a lot of rookie lawmakers. Many of them are siding with Ozawa and calling on anti-Ozawa members to leave the party. The Diet Kan faces is twisted with the Upper House controlled by the opposition, as he is also now dealing with intraparty strife from the camp of a defendant in a criminal case.

Here's another Socrates quote: "Let him that would move the world, first move himself." It is too late for Kan to be a philosopher and there is no room for him to move.

At a time when the DPJ must unite to deal with difficult problems that pile up one after another, it is deplorable that it can permit a domestic power struggle that even causes a dog to turn up its nose.
