本を読んでいると「あいたたぁ～ヤラレタぁ～～☆」という台詞に出会うことがありますよね☆
When I read a book, I come across such lines as “Oh, you’ve got me there".
村上春樹さんの作品には、これがすごく多いのです。
Haruki’s novels have a lot of these lines.
自分の記憶に留めて置きたくてこの書庫を作ってみました。
I wanted to keep them in my mind, so I made this archive “Powerful Lines”in my blog.

栄えある第一回目は、「ノルウェイの森」の永沢君の台詞に決定！
The honorable first line was said by Nagasawa who is an attractive character in “Norwegian wood”.

永沢という人間の中にはごく自然に人をひきつけ従わせる何かが生まれつき備わっているような人だった。人々の上に立ってすばやく状況を判断し、人々に手際よく的確な指示を与え、人々を素直に従わせるという能力である。 彼の頭上には、そういう力が備わっていることを示すオーラが天使の輪のようにぽっかりと浮かんでいて、誰もが一目見ただけで「この男は特別な存在なんだ」と思っておそれいってしまうわけである。
Nagasawa had a certain inborn quality that drew people to him and made them follow him.
He knew how to stand at the head of the pack, to assess the situation, to give precise
and tactful instructions that others would obey. Above his head hung an aura that revealed
his powers like an angel’s halo, the mere sight of which would inspire awe in people for
this superior being.

永沢君曰く、
「ときどき俺は世間を見まわして本当にうんざりするんだ。どうしてこいつらは努力というものをしないんだろう、努力もせずに不平ばかり言うんだろうってね」
Nagasawa said
“I look around me sometimes and I get sick to my stomach.
Why the hell don’t these bastards do something? I wonder.
They don’t do a fucking thing, and then they moan about it.”
僕はあきれて永沢さんの顔を眺めた。「僕の目から見れば世の中の人々はずいぶんあくせくと身を粉にして働いているような印象を受けるのですが、僕の見方は間違っているのでしょうか？」
Amazed at the harshness of his tone, I looked at Nagasawa.
“The way I see it, people are working hard. they’re working their fingers to the bone,
For me - I never thought about the difference between hard work and manual labour and I’m too busy
to think about such things, Nagasawa’s words makes my ears burn.
I'm ashamed to hear his lines.

“The way I see it, people are working hard. they’re working their fingers to the bone,
or am I looking at things wrong?”
努力と労働の違いがどこにあるかなんて考えてみたこともない私、仕事に追われる毎日を過ごす私には痛い言葉です。「あれは努力じゃなくてただの労働だ」と永沢さんは簡単に言った。 「俺のいう努力というものはそういうのじゃない。努力というものはもっと主体的に 目的的になされるもののことだ」 “That’s not hard work. It’s just manual labour,” Nagasawa said with finality. “The ‘hard work’ I’m talking about is more self-directed and purposeful.”
For me - I never thought about the difference between hard work and manual labour and I’m too busy
to think about such things, Nagasawa’s words makes my ears burn.

ともかく、ただの労働をしたくないのだったら努力をしないとね。
Anyway, I should do the real ‘hard work’ and avoid having to do just manual labour.
