Hello.

Hello, I'd like you to introduce French witty remarks until next week.

Now I'll introduce them.

Today's Remark:

Est-ce que le but de la vie est de livre?...Il n'est pas de vivre, mais

de mourir,... (par Paul Claudel)

When I dare to translate this passage into English, this says as follows: The purpose of life is

to live? ...It is not to live, but to die.

This witty remark reminds me of Oscar Wilde's remark. (By the way, Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is the

British novelist, poet, and dramatist.) Oscar Wilde says as follow: To live is the rarest thing in the

world. Most people exist, that is all.

What do human beings live for? It seems to me that they live to contribute to something. For

example, to country, family, etc. But many people don't contribute to anything. Some people live,

somehow. I'd rather die than living somehow.

Therefore, it appears to me that this remark has great profundity.

GWも終わりいよいよ明日から授業です。

こんばんは。

つかの間のゴールデンウィーク、結局寝て過ごしたという充実していない日々になってしまった。

ここでわかったこと、それはやはり休みすぎは禁物だっていうこと。

やはり僕には土・日休みがちょうどいいということが改めてわかった。

　さて、明日の授業の勉強の予習をするかぁ。あーっ。教科書を研究室に忘れてきてしまった。

これはとんだ失敗だ。仕方ない。明日朝9時くらいきて勉強するかぁ。明日の授業午後からだし

なんとか大丈夫だろう。先週みたいにぐだぐだなのは先生に失礼だから頑張ってやることにする

かぁ。ちなみに、その教科書というのが下にあるものです。

興味がある人はぜひともどうぞ。いい本ですよ。

では。 Au revoir a demain! (See you tomorrow!)

I'm crazy about Pokemon.

In fact, I'm crazy about Pokemon.

Do you know Pokemon? This is popular among Japanese children.

This is Pikachu, which is the character in this anime(animation).

This is so cute, but I don't like very much. Because Pikachu is not strong.

My favourite pokemon is here.

This is called Registeel. This looks like so firm, doesn't it? This is a Steel-Type pokemon.

By the way, I'd like to explain pokemon. According to wikipedia (I don't like wikipedia),

The name Pokémon is the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンス

ター, Poketto Monsutā^? ),^[5] as such contractions are very common in Japan. The term "Pokémon", in addition to referring to the Pokémon franchise itself, also collectively refers to the 493 fictional species that have made appearances in Pokémon media as of the release of the Pokémon role-playing game (RPG) for the Nintendo DS , Pokémon Platinum . Like the words deer and sheep , the word "Pokémon" is identical in both the singular and plural , as is each individual species name; in short, it is grammatically correct to say both "one Pokémon" and "many Pokémon" as well as "one Pikachu " and "many Pikachu". In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment , which had managed the non-game related licensing of Pokémon, announced that it had agreed not to renew the Pokémon representation agreement. Pokémon USA Inc. (now The Pokémon Company International ), a subsidiary of Japan's Pokémon Co., now oversees all Pokémon licensing outside of Asia.^[6]

^{Anyway, I'm crazy about pokemon. I always play pokemon game. If you want to know pokemon, how}

^{about playing pokemon?}
