[END 2020] My Top 9 Danmei Novel Picks of the Year

As a part of my Round Up post for the year, here’s my pick of favourite danmei novels, that I’ve read! This is sort of an accompaniment to my previous danmei rec list over HERE, so there may be one or two overlaps, but I’ve read WAY MORE after that and am prepared to like give more options here

Note: There should be English translations for all via novel updates if you do a search of the English name, but I don’t think most of them are completed.

If you wanna see my full reading and queue list (it’s all in Chinese tho, for my own records), it’s here.

I’m leaving out the usual MXTX and Priest ones, because they’re already good and we all know that and there’re many carrds and posts dedicated to them.

I am also a sucker for fainting but smart men, and not too overly angsty/complicated storylines, just putting it out there first, which is why I haven’t read a lot of some of the ones on my queue list.

-------

1. 一剑霜寒 | A Sword of Frost by 语笑阑珊

Summary: Jing Yan Ran is the Emperor’s brother and wields military power in the novel, and it starts with an object being stolen from the palace. Jing Yan Ran has to retrieve the item secretly, and so enlists the help of Feng Yu Sect’s Sect Master, Yun Yi Feng, who heads the martial arts world’s one and only information trading post. Yun Yi Feng does not deal in business that involves any royalty, but Jing Yan Ran offers him something he cannot refuse - the Blood Red Lingzhi, a rare and mystical herb that is rumoured to be able to treat his life-threatening condition.

Yun Yi Feng was used by his shifu when he was younger to test out all kinds of poisons and cures, and since then, his body flushes dangerously hot and cold frequently, with bouts of severe coughing fits in between. Throughout the first mission where he spends time with Jing Yan Ran searching for the stolen object, he allows Jing Yan Ran to take care of him, and they fall in LURVE pretty much like 10 chapters in.

Of course, they have to uncover a plot and conspiracy against their enemies who are plotting to dethrone the Emperor, and also reveal the secrets of Yun Yi Feng’s birth.

My Thoughts: AN ABSOLUTE FAVE AND GEM, I’d say this is my favourite danmei novel ever. This is both hilarious and tears-inducing, to be honest, because for most of the novel YYF knows he doesn’t have long to live and so in the beginning he knows of his own feelings for JYR and JYR also shows him that he loves him, but he is unable to officially reciprocate because he knows his body is like weakening day by day. Halfway through the fear that he’s literally about to die as they are JUST about to find the cure is real, and damn I cried so much at that. Some highlights:

YYF falls asleep very easily in baths and everywhere actually, and pretty much within the first 10 chapters he gets used to JYR carrying him around (even naked from the bath, he’s like oh well, okay cool) and taking care of him, and JYR ALWAYS makes sure he is warm and toasty under his cape

YYF LOVESSSS RICHES, PLAYING THE ZITHER AND COOKING - He’s good at gathering the first one, but he FUCKING SUCKS AS THE LAST TWO - It’s so funny because he’s so beautiful and handsome right, and when he sits down at the zither everyone is like OH DAMN WHAT A DREAM- and then he plays, and everyone’s fantasies is shattered, he’s ABYSMAL at it, and the same goes for cooking

JYR doesn’t actually have the Blood Red Lingzhi, and throughout the first arc, he feels SO DAMN GUILTY because YYF even carved out a pendant that looks like what he thinks the herb looks like, and like carries it with him everywhere LMAO

2. 高能二维码 | High Energy QR Code by 青色羽翼

Summary: CEO Xing Ye’s brother Xing Shuo has just passed away at the age of 24, and nothing will make him believe that Xing Shuo died of natural causes despite autopsies and experts telling him that he really died simply of a heart failure. Xing Ye, who has impeccable memory, suddenly recalls the last time he saw Xing Shuo. His brother called out to him just before Xing Ye left for a business trip, and looked as if he had something to say, but ended up just wishing him a safe trip.

At that moment, there was a QR code on Xing Shuo’s phone, and the phone screen was strangely turned out towards Xing Ye, and Xing Ye, with his incredibly high IQ and memory, realizes that Xing Shuo wanted him to see the QR code. Quickly, he reproduces the QR code by pen and then scans it, and finds himself in a game world.

There he meets a narcissistic but also cute mirror which can speak, and finds out later that his name is Lu Ming Ze. Xing Ye’s mission is to clear the game missions in each round that is set by the black and white cubic game system, a system that continuously tempts its players into giving in to committing sins such as killing someone else, stealing and other things. He soon realizes that if he cannot stay on a path clear of these sins, he will never be able to triumph over the game system and return Lu Ming Ze back to his body in the real world.

At the same time, he gains new teammates and friends for life, and also finds out what role his brother played in this game.

My Thoughts: MY GOD I LOVE THIS. I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED READING THIS YESTERDAY, and honestly it’s one of my faves. I don’t like game systems very often (I’ve read three others so far, and this, and KOD are the only ones I’ve liked) but this one is *chef’s kiss*. So LMZ was born like with a really handsome face, like SUPER HANDSOME, and that’s why he’s like a harmless narcissist that cannot bear to look at ugly things LMAO, but he’s not spoilt, he makes sure that Xing Ye stays true to himself, and help him keep his head clear.

THE ONLY THING ABOUT THIS FRICKIN NOVEL IS THAT LU MING ZE STAYS A MIRROR, LIKE DIFFERENT KINDS OF MIRRORS, in the first TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY CHAPTERS. I KID YOU NOT. I FRICKIN KID YOU NOT. I swear I was sooo touched starved at the end of the novel, because they couldn’t even kiss?!! Like Xing Ye kisses the mirror, and then uses his thumbs to like hi-five mini LMZ in the mirror back, they can’t even hug. Do you know how empty my arms felt when I read this book?!! And my arms have never been filled!!!!!!

I really like this one because each game world is set up in such a brilliant way, but it’s not so unnecessarily complex that you literally don’t know what the fuck is going on. Xing Ye’s intelligence as he outmanoeuvres every single one of his enemies and convinces his would-be loyal teammates to trust him is so satisfying, world after world, victory after victory.

Humour is also absolutely ON POINT. A lot of it is centred on Xing Ye getting caught in the real world kissing his handheld mirror (LMZ) by LMZ’s parents (who cannot see him in the mirror) and LMZ’s parents going like ???!!!!!!!!

3. 妻为上 | The Wife is First by 绿野千鹤

Summary: This is set in a historical setting where men can marry other men, but it’s usually reserved for sons who were not borne by the official main first wife of the patriarch of the family, i.e. a son born by a concubine in a family may be forced to marry a man to keep him from being able to become the next family’s patriarch for example. This is because any family’s next leader needs to be able to have children with a wife who married in as a zheng shi (lawful wife), and not a ce shi (second wife) or any other concubines/mistresses etc. Most of these men who marry other men have to take them as their zheng shi and lawful spouse in a sense, and the same goes for the royal family.

The story starts with third prince Jing Shao, who was forced to marry Mu Han Zhang, a Marquis’ second son, by the Empress and Emperor, thereby officially and effectively cutting him out of the race for the throne. He’s mocked by the public as everyone knows what this means, and for the next 10 years, he neglects Mu Han Zhang, blaming him for his predicament, and deliberately showers his three other concubines with affection in front of him, but 10 years later, when Jing Shao is accused of treason, everyone leaves him except for Mu Han Zhang. They are chased to the edge of the cliff by soldiers, and Mu Han Zhang dies in his arms having taken an arrow meant for him earlier, and Jing Shao jumps off the cliff with his dead body, and promises that if there’s a next life, he will do everything Han Zhang says, and love him.

He wakes up immediately on the night of his marriage with Han Zhang, and realizes that he’s been given a second chance to make everything right. Han Zhang is definitely afraid of him, humiliated and angry when he first wakes up after how rough Jing Shao was with him earlier on their wedding night, and he has no memories of their past life. Jing Shao then sets to SHOWER HAN ZHANG with affection, love and basically everything, because he realized that this is the only person who stayed by his side until the end, and then he falls in love with Han Zhang properly this time, and also deals with every single person who maligned and schemed against him in his previous life, with Han Zhang by his side.

My Thoughts: OKAY BEFORE YALL GO INTO THE ‘WIFE’ terminology discourse and everything, in this case they do use the term ‘wife’ literally, and it’s a position, that while men frequently fall into (there are a lot of male ‘wives’ in this story), is also used to cut off like sons from inheriting the family and the fortune, and even titles. Male ‘wives’ aren’t looked down upon in this setting, in fact, Han Zhang gets a lot of leeway as one, and in his case he was also able to rise up the ranks to be an actual official later on, but the sad thing comes from sons who are most of the time forced to marry a male ‘wife’ for whatever reason, and then they are neglected as the son goes and find concubines, women he actually wants to sleep with - this is sad af yall. I don’t know, on one hand, yay for equality in marriage in this setting, but on the other hand like, damn, must you use same-sex marriage like that argh.

ANYWAY THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVES TOO?!!! I mean, especially when Jing Shao literally just goes into doting mode 200% and Han Zhang is totally like wtf why is he so nice to me is he scheming or something? And then he realizes that Jing Shao is really, really gentle towards him despite his reputation as a cruel, dark military commander, and Jing Shao always smiles at him. In any situation, especially in the beginning, when Han Zhang thought Jing Shao would not stand with him, Jing Shao literally just protects him no matter what, gives him everything, and cries, I love it.

Especially because Han Zhang is the son of a concubine and he was bullied a lot in the Mu family, and the official Lady Mu married him off to Jing Shao in hopes that he would be unhappy for the rest of his life, and I suppose that came true in the first life, but in the second, Han Zhang gets all the love, respect and support he never got before in this family with Jing Shao and that makes me WEEP.

4. 死亡万花筒 Kaleidoscope of Death by 西子绪

OOOH I intro-ed KOD here in my previous rec list. Still one of my faves and all-time re-reads, especially under the covers in the dark hehehe.

5. 你的距离 | Your Distance by 公子优

Summary: Ting Shuang is a student at a German university, and has this handsome professor Bai Chang Yi who he swears kind of hates him. He’s just broken up with his longtime boyfriend, and then goes on this dating app that matches a profile with him based on distance. The app can also show the matched profile’s distance from him once they enter the same area, and Ting Shuang starts chatting with this Chinese guy on the app, who he finds out later, is 36 years old, 187cm in height and wears glasses.

The guy is a little aloof and cool, very mature in his replies on the app, and somehow Bai Chang Yi finds out who he is later, as Ting Shuang starts complaining to him about his professor to Bai Chang Yi. Instead of getting angry and offended, BCY is pretty much amused and finds Ting Shuang cute. A few days later Ting Shuang finally realizes who it is he’s been texting, and after getting past the initial embarrassment and fear, they start dating for real, and they really fall in love!!!!!

My Thoughts: This is sweet and also hilarious af, if you need to like satisfy your sweet tooth, this is definitely one for you. It’s really funny because Bai Chang Yi runs in the same circles as Ting Shuang’s dad, who he’s estranged from because the dad doesn’t want to recognize a son who is gay, and then BCY convinces him later in the funniest of ways, and there’s a small subplot at the end in which Ting Shuang is pretty cool, and yep, short and sweet! BCY in the manhua is handsome af too guys ;-;

6. 神木挠不尽 The White Cat’s Divine Scratching Post by 绿野千鹤

Summary: Mo Tian Liao, a weapons forger and master who ruled the Demon Tribe, was hunted down and killed by other righteous sects in the region when he managed to forge an incredibly destructive weapon that could end the world. Before he died, he placed the only thing he loved, a white cat, into a hole in the tree behind him to protect it. The only thing he was grateful for was that he did not create a blood pact with the cat, Xiao Mao, because if he had done so, when he died, Xiao Mao would have died along with him as well.

Right before he dies, unbeknownst to him, Xiao Mao who is no simple demonic cat, wraps part of his consciousness around Mo Tian Liao, and MTL’s spirit ends up floating about for 300 years, until he finds a suitable time to return with a body made out of a special tree and its wood. The first thing he does, of course, is to find his white cat, but he’s poor, and the body he has isn’t powerful, so he joins Wo Yun Sect, the only sect that did not hunt him down that day hundreds of years ago.

There, he is chosen by Qing Tong shizun to be his direct disciple, much to the astonishment of other shizuns in the sect, and Qing Tong’s shixiongs. MTL has never seen a person as beautiful and gorgeous as his shizun, and if only he could find that cat (who’s actually his shizun, who recognizes him and protects him, even if MTL doesn’t actually need much protection).

My Thoughts: This was hilarious as well, and so romantic?!!! Qing Tong/Xiao Mao waited for MTL to come back, and the moment he came back, Qing Tong was there ready to grab him, and then before he went to sleep that night, Qing Tong thought to himself, “I’ve gotten my person back, I can sleep well now” and AHHHHH at this point they weren’t even like a couple yet? MTL ‘kidnapped’ Qing Tong when he was a young demon cat by accident because he likes pretty things (like his shizun lmao) and Qing Tong is attached to him because MTL never forced a blood pact on him, and gave him everything he wanted as a younger cat before MTL died. Gosh, a mirror in #2 and then a cat now with this one. XD

7. 破云 | Breaking the Clouds by 淮上

Summary: Three years ago, Captain Jiang Ting and his team of the Narcotics division perished in an explosion due to a wrong call of his, and he returns three years later under a new identity ready to deal with the people who set him and his team up. He’s caught in what seems to be a simple murder case almost immediately and meets Yan Xie, who’s Vice Captain and in charge of this case. Yan Xie realizes who Jiang Ting is shortly after, and begins to unravel the huge mystery surrounding the events of three years ago, and falls in love with Jiang Ting along the way as well.

My Thoughts: Okay out of the FOUR crime/detective/thriller danmei novels I’ve read, the poyun and tunhai (below) series is the one that MIRRORS actual narcotics division and undercovers the best. It has the complexity and depth of the drugs/narcotics world, and both this one and its sequel focuses a lot on the position of an undercover and mole. I liked this one a lot because there are SOOOO many twists especially in the last arc, like you honestly won’t see any of them coming until it hits you? And Yan Xie is such a confident, rich-ass narcissist, and he keeps asking Jiang Ting if he can “just touch” him ONCE lmao, he’s thick-skinned af, but that’s why he and Jiang Ting are so compatible ;-;.

8. 吞海 | Swallowing the Sea by 淮上

Summary: Sequel to Po Yun. Yu Wu is a young-looking new detective under Captain Bu Chong Hua’s narcotics team. Bu Chong Hua is Yan Xie’s cousin by actual relation, but brother in relationship because BCH’s parents died early and Yan Xie’s parents have been taking care of him mostly. He cannot stand Yu Wu, who seems to want to coast through at work and keep to a 9-5 work schedule.

It’s only after an altercation and Yu Wu dumping his nonchalant facade to snarl at BCH that he realizes that YW is actually more interesting and mysterious than he thought, and he begins to try to get close to him, understand him. It turns out that Yu Wu is a famous undercover who nearly died a year ago during an operation, and due to various reasons, he was assigned to BCH’s team by higher ups so he can peacefully live the rest of his life out there. However, his past catches up with him quickly, and his enemies turning up forces him to rely on BCH.

With BCH, Yu Wu’s resentment of having to be an undercover in the past and being so easily discarded by his team’s leaders, and of him being forced to be in the shadows while others can announce their achievements to the world, is slowly erased, because BCH sees him, knows him, and understands him more than anyone else.

My Thoughts: I actually liked this one better than the first one - Yu Wu is such a pouty, angry little thing?! And for good reason (there’s a bit of cannibalism in the book, not by choice when he was younger and in a poor village in Cambodia, where some militants forced survivors in the village to eat the meat of boiled corpses of other villagers, so YW is a vegetarian, like if he eats meat he gets really sick) and the twists here are even more amazing?! BCH really, really, devotes himself to YW the moment he realizes how much he likes him, doing a 180 degree turn. Instead of Yan Xie’s flamboyance, BCH is much steadier, grouchy, like an old uncle, but also looks at things even more clearly than Yan Xie does sometimes. Yu Wu is understandably bitter about what he had to go through, and BCH is the ONLY person who can calm him down, whom he listens to, which I LOVE. Some highlights:

Yu Wu grew up in a poor village and thus loves money, and he fights in underground betting rings to earn more money - The stash of hidden money he collects I think is half for his escape money, but if he happens to never need it, his dream is to donate the money to his village so they can open up a school there - ANYWAY because Yan Xie’s parents, and technically BCH’s ‘parents’ are soooooo rich right, Yan Xie’s mom shows her approval to her son-in-laws (Jiang Ting first, then Yu Wu), by giving them winter pants. It’s kind of like inside warmers, and usually meant for older ladies to wear LOLOL so Yu Wu was like staring at the pants when he finally got them and looked soooo reluctant until Jiang Ting told him it costs $6,000 AND HE WAS LIKE :333333 okie

He acts a lot like a kid?!! He likes eating like some snack but it’s really unhealthy for him, and BCH the mother hen keeps catching him in weird places like the toilet, where he’s hiding from BCH so he can eat his fave snack?! And the whole police station knows not to give YW what he wants in terms of snacks and smokes because once BCH finds out, he makes life very difficult for them HAHAHAHA

9. 穿成反派如何活命 | How to Survive as A Villain by 伊依以翼

Summary: Rich and handsome CEO Xiao Yu An finds out he has a terminal illness (cancer), and dies while he’s reading this online novel, where a king mistreats the crown prince from a neighbouring state which sent him over as hostage after losing a war, and ends up being killed by the crown prince years later (SVSSS much?!). He wakes up AS THE KING, and afraid of dying, he immediately goes about befriending the prince, Yan He Qing. Yan He Qing falls in love with Xiao Yu An while being his friend/hostage/bodyguard, and Xiao Yu An tries to avoid all the deaths he read in the book, while making sure Yan He Qing manages to find his three/four wives, including Xiao Yu An’s sister.

Of course, because Xiao Yu An showed him warmth and kindness, Yan He Qing ends up falling for him instead, and Xiao Yu An is an absolute oblivious idiot because he REALLY doesn’t realize until much later. Yan He Qing ends up declaring war on Xiao Yu An’s kingdom because he is duty bound to do so, but doesn’t hurt Xiao Yu An, wanting to keep him by his side, but YHQ’s scheming uncle drives a wedge between them, and XYA leaves, breaking YHQ’s heart.

They meet again a few years later, where XYA is training to be a physician in a small village and chances upon a severely injured YHQ. There, he realizes that it was all a misunderstanding, and that YHQ actually LIKES, LIKES him, but before they can enjoy this short period of happiness, disaster strikes again.

My Thoughts: THIS WAS really enjoyable, and with the manhua visuals, it is *chef’s kiss*. I think this transmigration version actually delved into the part where XYA is unable to change everything, and if he saves one person, someone else is destined to die, and that moral dilemma devastates him a lot. In this novel he actually transmigrates TWICE, once into the king’s body, and the second time into a neighbouring state’s prince/king’s body, who looks exactly like his modern self after. YHQ is real sweet to him istg, and I like that the epilogues are SUPER EXTENSIVE, including an arc where YHQ and XYA transmigrate back to the real world and everyone who died is alive and close to them, and gets their happy ending ;-;

Jonathan Joestar (hero) ANALYSIS

ALL RANKINGS WILL HAVE A 5 POINT SYSTEM ( THERE MAY BE SOME SPOILERS, SO SPOILER WARNING!) I WILL LINK ALL OF MY REFERENCES/ SOURCES . ALL RANKINGS (1) BACKSTORY (2) PERSONALITY (3) ABILITIES (4) APPEARANCE (5) MOTIVATION (6) CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

(1) BACKSTORY:

The son of George Joestar I, Jonathan is an honest, kind and positive man whose life is fraught with tragedy after meeting his adopted older brother, Dio Brando. In his battle against Dio, Jonathan becomes a Ripple user under the tutelage of the master Will Anthonio Zeppeli. 4/5

(2)PERSONALITY

“ He's not just looks and clothes, but a real honest-to-god gentleman... I like it! “ —Speedwagon (Jonathan was proud and mischievous, yet gentle. Despite already aspiring to be a "true gentleman", Jonathan lacked manners and mostly behaved like a normal child. His mother having died before he could remember her, and his fellow boys ostracizing him because of his status left Jonathan somewhat lonely. While at first, Jonathan didn't have his future strength of will, Dio unwittingly became the catalyst of his growth by pushing him to the edge and humiliating his then girlfriend Erina Pendleton. However, he did have the kindness and courage to immediately jump to Erina's rescue against two bullies bigger than him despite not knowing her. JoJo is determined to rid the world of Dio's evil First and foremost, Jonathan strives to become his definition of a "true gentleman" as he carries his Joestar name with pride, never betraying the code of conduct he has set for himself and will treat any fellow human with respect unless they prove evil. Jonathan also possesses a fierce inner strength and the drive to face and overcome conflict, which Dio calls an "explosive power". That drive, fueled by his affection to his friends and loved ones, enabled him to overcome the direst situations, notably managing to save his wife Erina when their boat was overcome with zombies and he was fatally hit in the throat. Jonathan fights for what he believes in, and once he is committed to something, he won't back down until the deed is done. During his journey to find a cure for his father's illness, he was ambushed by a band of misfit hoodlums. He did not so much as flinch as he grasped an assailant's knife within his hand, saying he had much more riding on the fight than merely four fingers. As a gentleman, Jonathan is also kind and positive. Jonathan has a mindset where he tries to imagine the consequences his actions would have on other people, even if they appear to be enemies. He is gentle and sympathetic, feeling pain even as he vanquishes a zombified copper. Despite his skill in fighting, he will never seriously harm a person without a valid reason. Even after everything Dio has done, Jonathan still considers him his brother, and sheds tears for him. His courteous nature as well as his mental fortitude and ability to withstand fear and pain, is the main reason Speedwagon decides to aid him on his journey. During his life, Jonathan has always had an impulse to save others, beginning with Erina, and ending with his thought of a nearby baby just as he was agonizing from Dio's attack. Yet Jonathan can feel righteous fury at the evilness of his foes, and will conduct justice by vanquishing them. He admitted that his reason for fighting Dio wasn't out of duty for saving the world, but to avenge his loved ones that Dio had killed. Moreover, he has no pity for truly despicable individuals he is not familiar with such as Doobie. With his courage and spirit, Jonathan sets a legacy as the first JoJo of the series.Fascinated with the Stone Mask, Jonathan tried to study it and even took on the path of archaeology. However, not having thought of putting in on anyone, Jonathan didn't discover its true purpose himself. 5/5

(3) ABILITIES:

Athleticism - Jonathan had lived a rough past as the son of an aristocrat, and was known in his childhood to have been at least a competent boxer. In his college life, he played Rugby alongside Dio Brando, and was revered as one of the two stars of Hugh Hudson Academy.Even prior to learning the Ripple, Jonathan was able to hold his own against three thugs, Speedwagon among them, with sheer might and willpower. He was capable of wielding various weaponry held by the suits of armor in the Joestar Mansion. He had also performed incredible feats of strength, such as jumping from the hilt of a sword and hoisting himself up to the second floor while doing a flip over the guardrails, despite his arm being inhibited by a spear pierced into his pectorals. Perhaps his greatest display of strength was after being revitalized and empowered by Zeppeli's Ultimate Deep Pass Overdrive, where he ripped through 3 steel bars clutching his neck, a feat that even the mighty zombie Tarkus outright admitted he was incapable of.

Intelligence - Jonathan is shown to be an intelligent person and a very competent thinker during battles, constantly coming up with new strategies mid-combat to defeat foes such as Bruford and Dio. Academically, Jonathan graduated from university after having written a celebrated thesis in archaeology. He has meticulously studied the Stone Mask, going as far as identifying the spots in the brain it would pierce,but didn't discover its true purpose himself.In a fight, Jonathan is adept at thinking of moves on the spot and using the environment to his advantage. On several occasions, Jonathan was quick to formulate plans even in a moment of crisis. Still recovering from the loss of his father, Jonathan had to fight a vampirized Dio, and quickly thought about burning down the Joestar Mansion in order to bring Dio down. Likewise, agonizing from a wound in the throat (which also led to a loss of oxygen going to his brain), Jonathan managed to use his last Ripple on Wang Chan to dispose of a horde of zombies and Dio at the same time by controlling Wang Chan's body to make the boat explode. Jonathan even notably used his belt as a supplementary whip before ever acquiring the Ripple, as well exploited the fact that Windknight's Lot was a coal mining town to deduce that a lake would have air pockets at its bottom to surprise Bruford with an unexpected production of Ripple.

Ripple

Jonathan has an arsenal of ancient martial art techniques, most inherited from Will A. Zeppeli and involving Ripple, at his disposal. Some are his original creation, each ending with "Overdrive".

Zoom Punch (ズームパンチ Zūmu Panchi): Jonathan launches his fist forward and strikes his opponent. First used by Zeppeli, the attack involves a Ripple breathing technique that dislocates and stretches the joints to extend the arm and give it greater reach while also using the same Ripple to dull the pain caused by the move. Due to the increased length, the strike immediately reaches the opponent's face first, which from that perspective seems "zoomed in."

Sendo Ripple Overdrive (仙道波紋疾走オーバードライブ Sendō Hamon ShissouŌbādoraibu): Jonathan charges a Ripple wave through his arm and releases it into a solid object, such as a wall or partition. The Ripple can travel through and reach anything on the other side, and anything hit by the Ripple is sent flying in a spiral. If the enemy is an Undead, the Ripple will enter their bloodstream and destroy them from the inside.

Scarlet Overdrive (緋色の波紋疾走スカーレットオーバードライブ Hiiro no Hamon ShissouSukāretto Ōbādoraibu): Charging the Ripple into one hand, Jonathan can create a Ripple of flame. He is able to transfer over this flame to another part of his body, and anything that touches that body part has a chance of catching fire.

Underwater Turquoise Blue Overdrive (水中のための青縁波紋疾走ターコイズブルーオーバードライブ Suichū no Tame no Aomidori Hamon ShissouTākoizu Burū Ōbādoraibu): Appropriately the strongest place to use the Ripple, Jonathan can release high powered tempests while underwater with enough force to blast enemies away. In most cases, a good portion of the water is propelled outward as well, draining something like a lake to waist-high depth.

Overdrive Barrage (波紋疾走オーバードライブ連打 Hamon ShissouŌbādoraibu Renda): When Jonathan jabs fast enough consecutively, he can release multiple Overdrives at once.

Metal Silver Overdrive (銀色の波紋疾走メタルシルバーオーバードライブ Giniro no Hamon ShissouMetaru Shirubā Ōbādoraibu): Essentially the same as a Sendo Ripple Overdrive, but with the ability of transferring through metal.

Life Magnetism Overdrive (生命磁気への波紋疾走オーバードライブ Seimei jiki e no Hamon ShissouŌbādoraibu): With the aid of Zeppeli, Jonathan can draw all the leaves in the immediate area and magnetize them together to form one giant leaf, which was used as an impromptu-hang glider. This move can be applied to most plants, and has the ability to revive them passively as well - as when Jonathan touched a dead tree branch with his newly Ripple-healed arm and restored its wilted flowers.

Sunlight Yellow Overdrive (山吹き色の波紋疾走サンライトイエローオーバードライブ！！ Yamabukiiro no Hamon ShissouSanraito Ierō Ōbādoraibu, Lit. "Bright Yellow Ripple Sprint"): His final and most memorable attack, first marked by Jonathan's words: "My heart resonates! The heat's enough to burn! The beat of my blood is razor-sharp!!" (ふるえるぞハート！燃えつきるほどヒート！！刻むぞ血液のビート！ Furueru zo hāto! Moetsukiru hodo hīto!! Kizamu zo, ketsueki no bīto!). It is a devastating and extremely rapid flurry of Ripple-infused punches with power comparable to the sun itself and has the ability to completely obliterate the Undead.

Alongside the attacks, the Ripple has various other uses in combat. A skilled Ripple user such as Jonathan has the ability to walk on water, strengthen objects and increase their potency, increase jumping height, and much more. Healing One of the main conveniences of the Ripple is the ability to heal the body to an extent. During his battle with Doobie, Jonathan was able to eject poison out of his bloodstream via Ripple transfusion. During his battle with Tarkus, he was also able to heal his broken neck after receiving the Supreme Pass Overdrive from Zeppeli.

Luck and Pluck (幸運ラックと勇気プラック kōunRakku to YūkiPurakku): After his defeat, Brufordgave Jonathan his sword, which played a major role in the final battle against Dio, where Jonathan was able to counter Dio's freezing ability by infusing the sword with Ripple, in order to avoid direct contact with Dio's body.

Hermit Purple-like Stand were due to a Stand power that awoke in Jonathan's body, Similar to Hermit Purple, it can produce a psychic photograph by smashing a camera, which Dio used to track the Joestars and their friends's current location to send Stand Users after them.

4/5

(4) APPEARANCE

As an adult, Jonathan is a tall (195 cm/6'5"), extremely muscular individual with a gentlemen's poise. His typical attire tends to reflect his noble background, characterized by stylized tunics over long sleeve shirts. Reoccurring articles of clothing include a cravat, bow tie, thick boots and a vest. At home, Jonathan wears semi-formal attire consisting of a collared shirt, tie, and jacket with rolled up sleeves. During University Rugby matches, he wears a standard striped rugby shirt and pants with long socks. When he sets out to Ogre Street to find a cure for his father's illness, Jonathan dons an entirely new outfit made up of a padded jacket and pants, complete with a deerstalker cap and a long cloak. During his training with Zeppeli, he strips down to a stylized tank top with wristbands, and at some point a circlet.On his quest to Windknight's Lot, Jonathan dons a double layered tunic with a bowtie and Deerstalker cap. After his fight with Tarkus, he wears a close-fitted tank top with capped sleeves for the rest of the journey. In the anime, these sleeves are converted into shoulder pads. During his honeymoon and final encounter with Dio, he wears an ornate suit with a long tail over a collared shirt with straps on the shoulders, and a cravat. 4/5

5) MOTIVATION

Jojo’s motivation is avenging his father, his honor and defeating Dio. (Thanks Hanawriting) 5/5

6) CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

After finally defeating Dio, Jonathan watches as he falls from the tower into the unknown disintegrating piece by piece. Shedding a tear for his corrupt brother... Even though Dio had hurt Jonathan in the worst way possible, he would always have a special place in his heart. This action would prove that Jonathan was too pure for this world. 5/5

Records of the Three Kingdoms 27: Biography of Hu Zhi

This Hu Zhi

胡質字文德，楚國壽春人也。少與蔣濟、朱績俱知名於江、淮間，仕州郡。蔣濟爲別��，使見太祖。太祖問曰：「胡通達，長者也，寧有子孫不？」濟曰：「有子曰質，規模大略不及於父，至於精良綜事過之。」太祖即召質爲頓丘令。縣民郭政通於從妹，殺其夫程他，郡吏馮諒繫獄爲證。政與妹皆耐掠隱抵，諒不勝痛，自誣，當反其罪。質至官，察其情色，更詳其事，檢驗具服。

Hu Zhi, styled Wende, was a native of Shouchun county in the Chu princely fief (Jiujiang commandary). As a young man, he was equally famous in the region between the Yangzi and the Huai River as Jiang Ji and Zhu Ji (Shi Ji), and he served in the local commandary and province.

When Jiang Ji was appointed as Assistant Officer With Separate Carriage (for the province), he was sent to meet with Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked him, "Hu Tongda (Hu Min) was an excellent fellow. Surely he has some sons or grandsons?"

Jiang Ji replied, "He has a son named Hu Zhi. When it comes to coming up with grand plans and strategies, Hu Zhi is not the equal of his father. But when it comes to sheer excellence and the ability to weave events together, he surpasses his father."

Cao Cao thus summoned Hu Zhi to serve as Prefect of Dunqiu.

In Dunqiu, a native of the county, Guo Zheng, had illicit relations with his cousin and killed her husband Cheng Ta. A commandary official, Feng Liang, bound and imprisoned them and examined them. But Guo Zheng and his cousin so stoically endured the questioning and revealed nothing that Feng Liang, overcome by grief, felt that he was the one who in the wrong and was going to pardon them. Yet when Hu Zhi arrived at his post, he witnessed the lewd looks between the two of them and investigated further into their affairs, and so he brought things back into proper order.

〈案〈胡氏譜〉：通達名敏，以方正徵。〉

(According to the Registry of the Hu Clan, Hu Min's style name was Tongda. He was a just, proper, and correct fellow.)

入爲丞相東曹議令史，州請爲治中。將軍張遼與其護軍武周有隙。遼見刺史溫恢求請質，質辭以疾。遼出謂質曰：「僕委意於君，何以相辜如此？」質曰：「古人之交也，取多知其不貪，奔北知其不怯，聞流言而不信，故可終也。武伯南身爲雅士，往者將軍稱之不容於口，今以睚眦之恨，乃成嫌隙。況質才薄，豈能終好？是以不願也。」遼感言，復與周平。

Hu Zhi came to the capital to serve as a Consultant-Clerk in the Eastern Bureau of the Prime Minister's staff. His home province then requested him to serve as an Internal Director.

At this time, the general Zhang Liao was on bad terms with his Protector-General, Wu Zhou. Thus when Zhang Liao came to see the Inspector, Huan Hui, he asked to have Hu Zhi come serve on his staff. But Hu Zhi declined, citing illness. Zhang Liao then came to see him and said, "Sir, I had placed all my hopes in you. Will you leave me to stew like this?"

Hu Zhi replied, "The ancients understood their companions very well. Though someone obtained much, people knew he was not greedy; though someone fled north, people knew he was no coward; though rumors and loose talk spread, people knew not to trust them. Thus their friendships endured. As for me, I know well that Wu Bonan (Wu Zhou) is a refined gentleman. Yet recently, General, I have heard that you have not been able to put up with him. If I indulge you and continue to let you bare the fangs and glares of hatred, that would only seal the enmity between you. Besides, I am a man of meager talents, so how could I do you any good? That is why I was not willing to join you."

Zhang Liao was moved by his words, and he patched things up with Wu Zhou.

〈虞預《晉書》曰：周字伯南，沛國竹邑人。位至光祿大夫。子陔，字元夏。陔及二弟韶、茂，皆總角見稱，並有器望，雖鄉人諸父，未能覺其多少。時同郡劉公榮，名知人，嘗造周。周謂曰：「卿有知人之明，欲使三兒見卿，卿爲目高下，以效郭、許之聽可乎？」公榮乃自詣陔兄弟，與共言語，觀其舉動。出語周曰：「君三子皆國士也。元夏器量最優，有輔佐之風，展力仕宦，可爲亞公。叔夏、季夏，不減常伯、納言也。」陔少出仕宦，歷職內外，泰始初爲吏部尚書，遷左僕射、右光祿大夫、開府儀同三司，卒��官。陔以在魏已爲大臣，本非佐命之數，懷遜讓，不得��而居位，故在官職，無所荷任，夙夜思恭而已。終始全潔，當世以爲美談。韶歷二官吏部郎。山濤啟事稱韶清白有誠，終於散騎常侍。茂至侍中、尚書。潁川荀愷，宣帝外孫，世祖姑子，自負貴戚，要與茂交。茂拒而不荅，由是見怒。元康元年，楊駿被誅。愷時爲尚書僕射，以茂駿之姨弟，陷爲駿黨，遂枉見殺，衆咸冤痛之。〉

(Regarding Wu Zhou, Yu Yu's version of the Book of Jin contains this biography of him and his sons: "Wu Zhou, styled Bonan, was a native of Zhuyi county in the Pei princely fief. He rose in office as high as Household Counselor. His son was Wu Gai, styled Yuanxia. Wu Gai and his younger brothers Wu Shao and Wu Mao were all intelligent and clever and received acclaim. They all showed great promise, but none of the elders of their town were able to properly analyze their potential.

At that time, there was a native of the same commandary, a certain Liu Gongrong, who was famous for being able to appraise people. On one occasion, he came to visit Wu Zhou. Wu Zhou said to him, 'Sir, you're well-known for your wisdom in appraising people, so I wish to present my three sons to you. Will you not look them up and down and see how well they might live up to the examples of Guo and Xu?'

Liu Gongrong then went to visit Wu Gai and his brothers; he spoke with them and observed their posture and movements. After leaving them, he told Wu Zhou, 'Your three sons are all good gentlemen of state. Yuanxia has the most outstanding potential; he is suited to serve as a regent of the state, and if he develops his strength and serves in office, he may be called an elder statesman. As for Shuxia and Jixia, they shall be no less than Constant Companions (Palace Attendants) or Receivers of Words (Masters of Writing).'

Wu Gai went out to take up office while he was still young, and he served in successive posts both within the court and without. By the beginning of the Taishi reign era (~265), he had become Personnel Director of the Masters of Writing. He later became Deputy Director of the Left and Household Counselor of the Right, and he was granted the privilege of a Separate Office with equal ceremonial to the Three Excellencies. He passed away in office. Wu Gai had already become a great minister even during the Cao-Wei dynasty, but he had never really wished to hold such high posts. He often cherished the thought of resigning his offices, but was unable to do so and thus was compelled to serve. Thus, although he held many posts, he could never bear the responsibilities of his offices; day and night, he did no more than ponder respect. From beginning to end, he remained absolutely pure, and the people of his time all spoke highly of him.

Wu Shao served in two offices as a Gentleman in the Personnel Bureau. At that time, Shan Tao was in charge of recruiting and appointing many people. He commended Wu Shao as a pure, honest, and earnest man, so in the end Wu Shao became a Cavalier In Regular Attendance.

Wu Mao rose in office as high as a Palace Attendant and a Master of Writing. Xun Kai of Yingchuan commandary, who was Sima Yi's grandson by a daughter and Sima Yan's cousin, considered himself to possess a fine lineage. He sought to make connections with Wu Mao, but Wu Mao rebuffed him and would not respond. Xun Kai thus held a grudge against him. In the first year of Yuankang (291), during the coup against Yang Jun, Xun Kai was serving as Deputy Director of the Masters of Writing. Since Wu Mao was Yang Jun's brother-in-law, Xun Kai slandered him as being one of Yang Jun's partisans, and he had him beaten to death. Everyone believed he was innocent and felt grief for him.")

太祖辟爲丞相屬。黃初中，徙吏部郎，爲常山太守，遷任東莞。士盧顯爲人所殺，質曰：「此士無讎而有少妻，所以死乎！」悉見其比居年少，書吏李若見問而色動，遂窮詰情狀。若即自首，罪人斯得。每軍功賞賜，皆散之於衆，無入家者。在郡九年，吏民便安，將士用命。

Cao Cao recruited Hu Zhi to serve as a direct subordinate on the Prime Minister's staff.

During the Huangchu reign era (220-226), Hu Zhi was transferred to serve as a Gentleman of the Personnel Bureau. He was then appointed as Administrator of Changshan, then transferred to be Administrator of Dongguan.

A local gentry figure, Lu Xian, was killed by someone. Hu Zhi mused, "This fellow had no enemies. It was because of his young wife that he was killed!" So he looked around for young people living nearby. When he questioned the clerk Li Ruo, Li Ruo seemed to display lewd movements. Hu Zhi thus fully put him to the question, and Li Ruo confessed to the crime. The guilty man was thus apprehended.

Whenever Hu Zhi achieved some military accomplishment and was distributing rewards, he always spread the rewards out among his soldiers and never kept any for his own family. Hu Zhi served in Dongguan for nine years. The officials and the people there knew peace, and the generals and officers were useful and obeyed his orders.

遷荊州刺史，加振威將軍，賜爵關內侯。吳大將朱然圍樊城，質輕軍赴之。議者皆以爲賊盛不可迫，質曰：「樊城卑下，兵少，故當進軍爲之外援；不然，危矣。」遂勒兵臨圍，城中乃安。遷征東將軍，假節都督青、��諸軍。廣農積糓，有兼年之儲，置東征臺，且佃且守。又通渠諸郡，利舟楫，嚴設備以待敵。海邊無事。

Hu Zhi was then transferred to be Inspector of Jingzhou; he was further appointed as General Who Spreads Awe and as a Marquis Within The Passes. When the great Wu general Zhu Ran besieged Fancheng, Hu Zhi led light troops to come reinforce the city. People all told Hu Zhi that the enemy army was so numerous that he could not actually threaten them. But Hu Zhi replied, "It is precisely because Fancheng is a meager city with a small garrison that I must advance my forces to bring it relief. Otherwise, it will be in danger." So he ordered his troops to approach the enemy siege lines, and those within the city thus settled down.

Hu Zhi was promoted to General Who Conquers The East, Credential Holder, and Commander of military affairs in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. He expanded farming efforts there and accumulated grain, such that there were local stores of several years of grain. He also established a Bureau of Eastern Conquest, where the soldiers alternated between farming and guarding. Hu Zhi also carved out a canal through several commandaries in order to improve boat traffic, and he prepared strict defenses to hold off any enemies. The sea coast saw no trouble.

性沈實內察，不以其節檢物，所在見思。嘉平二年薨，家無餘財，惟有賜衣書篋而已。軍師以聞，追進封陽陵亭侯，邑百戶，謚曰貞侯。子威嗣。六年，詔書褒述質清行，賜其家錢糓。語在〈徐邈傳〉。威，咸熈中官至徐州刺史，有殊績，歷三郡守，所在有名。卒於安定。

Hu Zhi was a man of profound substance and introspection, and he did not abuse his authority, so he was seen as a considerate man.

Hu Zhi passed away in the second year of Jiaping (250). His home had no excess wealth; he left behind only a chest of clothing and books. When the Directing-Instructor (Sima Yi?) heard of his death, he posthumously promoted Hu Zhi to Marquis of Yangling District, with a fief of a hundred households, and granted him the posthumous title Marquis Zhen ("the Faithful"). His son Hu Wei succeeded him.

In the sixth year of Jiaping (254), an edict was issued praising Hu Zhi for his life of pure conduct, and his family was granted money and grain. This is further mentioned in the Biography of Xu Miao.

As for Hu Wei, by the Xianxi reign era (264-265) he had risen in office to be Inspector of Xuzhou. He had had an outstanding career, having served as Administrator in three commandaries, and he enjoyed a good reputation. He passed away in Anding commandary.

〈《晉陽秋》曰：... 〉

[Pei Songzhi includes a passage from Sun Sheng's Annals of Jin which recounts the life of Hu Zhi's son Hu Wei, but the material is identical to Hu Wei's biography in the Book of Jin other than noting the source.]

[Unused] Datamined Lunafreya Content

From the user SylvaViaFleuret on this really interesting Reddit thread, I compiled all of the old/unused/pending Lunafreya content that won't/hasn't made its way into the final game.

Conjectures aside, and since there are many interesting tidy bits concerning or making allusions to Luna, I took the time to pick and separate the content in sections. Here's a list so you have an idea of what’s under the read more:

Chapter 14

Noctis, Umbra with a flashback of Lunafreya in Tenebrae.

10年？どういうことだよ？ 10年待ったら……世界は…… アーデンは？世界はどうなる？あいつら待っていてくれるのか？

神となるか？王となるか？人として生きるか？ただ待て、決断の時まで俺はどうすればよい？これが終われば俺は死ぬ？

でもやらなければ… 神として生きる、王として生きる、人として生きるか？さあ、どうする…… アンブラ…… テネブラエ…… 城が壊れないって事は…これは過去……アンブラが見た光景なのか？アンブラ……おい！待てよ！花にはそんな意味があったのか…… ルーナ、もう会えないかもって覚悟してたのかよここは…… 最初から結婚出来ないって知ってて…… ルーナ……

己の玉座へ向かうがよい ……そこに座んのは、王様だけだアンブラ……ありがとうなルーナのためにも、世界を取り戻さないとな俺は……アーデンを倒す！さあ、どの道を選ぶ？俺の生きる道は… これを選ぶさあ、全部終わらせよう

Noctis is catching up after the 10 year gap. What about the world? What about Ardyn? Is everyone waiting for him (Noctis)? Will you be a god? Will you be a king? Will you be a normal person? (Confusion about this decision) I'll die after this? But if you do not, how do you live? (Repeats the same question as before). A flashback from Umbra of Lunafreya in Tenebrae, prior to leaving for Insomnia. She expresses that she'd like to be with Noctis once more. Noctis is encouraged to go to the throne, and to defeat Ardyn. Asked once more for what path will be taken (choice prompt box likely here), and then makes a comment about finishing it all. ※ Note: Don't take this as being perfect, take it as rough notes. Still reading through more of what you sent. I have spaced the lines out a little easier to read as well.

Chapter 14

Noctis and Ardyn conversation, includes some details of the past.

オヤジも……ルーナも…… テネブラエ…… オレ…… みんな何も言わねーからオレもいっつも覚悟が遅れて ……ごめんなルーナ使命果たしてくるオレはおまえのご先祖だよ知らねーよ心優しき王にさオレもなるはずだったんだひどい兄弟がいたんだよオレに敬意を払わないおまえはその血を引いてるからねどうりでムカつくわけだオレも特別な王様に選ばれたかったなぁへっ無理だろうんあの石に使骸扱いされてたからね触ったら弾かれちゃうくらいにさ黒は大事な色なんだっけみんな黒ずくめだもんなぁでもクリスタルって元々真っ青でねオレが触ったときに怒りで真っ黒になったんだオレには使骸が棲みついてるだからおまえの一撃が効くよだったらさっさと消えろよ痛いからぜひそうしたいねぇでも身体はさ死なないんだよね―― これで終わりじゃねえんだよなまだだ少ししたら元に戻る ……騒ぎが呼び水になったか使骸どもか城の前かな全部相手にする……？半分はこれで何とかなる残りは手作業な了解！炎神……か？えっアーデンだけじゃなくて？結構な相棒がいやがったな死んだ神を起こしたのか相当追いつめられてんだろ行くか？あれじゃ街が燃えちまうぞノクト先にあっちへ飛べるか炎を抑えられるのはおまえだけだああ行けるオレたちもすぐ援護する位置に回る ……っノクト…… （戸惑うアドリブ） ……行こう手伝わなきゃ向こうにもお仲間がいるしなああノクトを支えようまだ共に戦える――！ノクト！上に逃げやがったか今なら終わらせられるえっ？もうあいつは弱ってるこれまでもらってきたいろんな力が効いてんだろ炎神は……ひとりじゃ無理だったけどなおまえだけでやれるのか使骸一掃の前にあの巣叩いてくるわ残念なお知らせです …… ここ座りに来たんでしょっふふもう空いてないってさ～汚ねえカッコでそこ座んなよそこは王様の椅子だオレの名前さあれ本名だけど正式名じゃなかったんだよね～アーデン・ルシス・チェラム正式名あぁイズニアは誰の姓だったか…… 待ってたよノクト待ちくたびれてイライラしたけどねやっと ……王家を未来ごと潰せる

Noctis discusses seeing things through, including apologizing to Lunafreya. Ardyn discusses being Noctis' ancestor, and then discusses the past. 「兄弟」 is getting used instead of a singular as seen in some of his retail lines, or the "Lucian King" comment from Ardyn, and that he mentions a lack of respect. The colour black being an important and/or formal colour of Lucis is brought up, and that the Crystal wasn't the current colour it is now, but rather a pure blue. (The standard Final Fantasy crystal colour). The crystal's colour changed when Ardyn touched it, or at least so it would seem. Discusses his immortality briefly. Ifrit shows up, there's some chatter in there. A comment about a puzzled ad-lib (voice over) is left within brackets, and then there's the lines for after Ifrit. However, Ardyn is now on the throne and it is here that he introduces himself by his official name of Ardyn Lucis Caelum, and reinforces his intentions. ※ Note: This is really weird to me, I don't see why some of this is gone. Same as before, just rough notes as I'm not doing the whole thing properly.

Unspecified Chapter; must be after Chapter 2.

Chatter about gathering to prepare, including contacting Meldacio Hunter HQ. Noctis calls, and it is confirmed that Cor has been captured by the Nifilheim Army. There is a newspaper that has a headline of Cor's execution across it. What are you gonna do? A strategy to rescue Cor. There won't be any action without any verified information, and as per usual they will gather intelligence and draft a strategy. Comments about being lucky to have escaped an explosion at the North Duscaen Blockade means that this is Loqi, and his survival was to be brought up more-so than suddenly appearing with Caligo. It's a trap, and being regarded as a rematch. More preparation chatter, as well as the radio broadcast from Ravus about the blockade, the earthquakes and Insomnia. Noctis intends to go into the base alone, and then it goes into the next part. There's another one after, and that whilst troops are being deployed both Noctis, and Prompto are mentioned by name as being involved in things. Verstael's research is being tested again. At the end, there's a comment about the recapture and/or recovery of Insomnia being close. Then it goes into there being a roar sound near Noctis, and Leviathan appears. Noctis mentions this being a trial and/or Revelation, and that he accepts it. Then the following text goes into a jumble instead of being structured properly like the rest above. Not sure if this is exactly the same as Chapter 9, so I would recommend checking it after the fact.

Unspecified Chapter; likely Chapter 3 or 4.

Umbra makes a delivery from Lunafreya, and it's a bit different to the final.

アンブラこれおまもりか？ルーナがくれたのか彼はアンブラご主人はルナフレーナ様だえっじゃあ届け物をわざわざ？ノクティス王子を心配して―― か彼もよくここがわかったなゲンティアナが示したんだろアンブラも『神影』の一員だしなんだよまったく人の身ばっか心配してんなまただね

※ Note: This is odd, because the term 「神影」 isn't what is used in the retail for the Messengers and/or Angels. The term used in the final is 「天使」 and there's a mention of concern. Not wanting to have some conjecture, but is this potentially earlier than what I would expect? Same thing with some of those name changes I pointed out for you earlier.

CHAPTER 1

So...you thinking to fairy tale Lady Lunafreya back to the Crown City? Nah, no need to rush to happily ever after. Wow. Still can't believe you're actually tying the knot, dude! How does it feel now that it's finally happening? Pretty good Fine, I guess? C'mon, you can't fool me. Any guy would be over the moon to marry her! No big deal. Yeah, whatever. Not sure Won't know 'til it actually happens. Makes sense. Wait. Think...I'll find someone to marry? Don't look at me. You'd think royalty would've been spared the holdup. I know, that's what I thought. No one likes a lazy prince. Thanks. Just saying Lady Luna's in for a rude awakening. Forget the wedding, you'll be late for your own funeral. Don't rush me I should have it worked out by then. Joke around all you want, but you won't be laughing when she's had it with you. I'll be fine. I can wake up when I have to. Good, 'cause I didn't join the Crownsguard to serve as your human alarm clock. Don't even dream of sleeping in tomorrow, unless you'd prefer to swim rather than sail across. Heaven knows Lady Lunafreya's waited long enough. We'll see. Maybe she'll call the whole thing off. This is no laughing matter. No problem. I think I can handle it. Yes, it's all fun and games...until we fail to make the wedding and violate the terms of the peace treaty. Listen, Noct. It's your last night as a free man. You've gotta live it up, dude! Live it up how? Alright! So what should we do? If you jump off the pier, make sure you come back up. I recommend not going overboard. No thanks I'll pass. C'mon!

You miss home? Nope, can't say that I do. What about you? //updated 150108 I like it out here. You don't have to worry about acting like a prince. Your Highness acting unprincely!?

Go to him. Tell him that I am alive, and I am well. ...And that he is ever in my prayers. Hey! Hm? Hey there fella! What's your name? Umbra? There, in his collar, a note. //updated 150108 You know this dog? //updated 150108 It's a letter...from Luna. Umbra here is a loyal servent of none other than Her Highness, you see. Does this mean what I think it means? It means Luna made it out alive! It would seem. Well, not quite the reunion I was hoping for, but at least she's okay. //updated 150108 There you are, Umbra. Good dog. Thanks for everything. Say hi to Luna for me. Whoa! Unbelievable!

----

We need to go! Some kind of problem? I'm afraid these mountains are unsafe for trespassers. The army is tending to the issue, yet I must ask you be on your way. Luthus. Say wha-? Huh? The Archaean's memorial is no more. There is nothing left for you here. Wait. What about Luna? Her fate is yet unknown to us. You would do well to obey your calling. No man shall be king that the ring does not will. Don't know about you, but that imperial weirdo gives me the creeps. Her Highness's brother is not of the empire. Why's Luna's brother on their side? What other side is there to be on? Curious he spoke of the ring. Well, I'm "obeying my calling" the best I can.

----

Hey Noct, it's man's best friend. She sent you, didn't she. With a letter. Any news? You crossed the sea to bring this to me. The sea? Turns out Luna is in Altissia. I trust she's well. Hey! Sounds like you've got a date waiting! She say anything else? Says she's got something for me. Finally! Some good news for a change! We can cross the sea from Caem. It'll take some arranging. We'll have to leave the car behind. So be it.

CHAPTER 9

Head to the rendezvous point. Board the imperial assault craft. Sever the cables attached to Leviathan. Dodge Leviathan's attacks. Join Gladiolus. Stop Leviathan's tidal wave. Defeat Leviathan.

The Summit Bound by Destiny The Trial of Leviathan +Listen to Luna's address. Search for survivors.

Must've been quite the earful. You can say that again. Sounds like you've got something to sleep on. Indeed. Perhaps a quick word then? About? The goings-on in town. Best you know your roads before you arrive at a conclusion. Hey, it can't hurt to ask, right? Sure. What makes you so sure the imperial army's coming? After they felled the Archaean in Lucis, one can surmise it only a matter of time before they come to Altissia. The empire's not content ruling all the land—they want the heavens as well. Hence they'll come for the Hydraean, which I imagine should come as no surprise to you. Call me a cynic, but I have my misgivings about the Honorable Madam Secretary. Then ask away. What proof do we have that Lady Lunafreya is in the government's care? You mistrust Camelia, and I don't blame you. But ask yourself this: Why would they open the Hydraean's altar, which is of no good to them without the Oracle? Of course, it's "no good" they'll be up to, letting her summon the Hydraean to a military massacre. There IS this one thing that's been on my mind. Cool if I ask? Go for it. So, what's the "Serpent's Rage?" An old sailor's tale we might see for ourselves. In short, the Sea Goddess wrought havoc before entering her forced slumber. Perhaps she slept it off, or perhaps not—an "unsettling" prospect for politicians. They'll guard Lady Lunafreya, so long as you fight off the imperial army, yes? That's the long and short of it. You must think it a fool's errand. Yet it is a gambit, not pure sacrifice—they wager that you will claim the might of the Hydraean. Lady Lunafreya is loved and revered. Turning her over to the empire would amount to political suicide, but that hardly stops them from using her for leverage. All is fair in love and war, particularly if it turns out you can bring true peace. This is not the utopia Insomnia was. Here, each acts only in his own best interests. We stand divided against an empire that has come to bear down upon us, much as it did Lucis. Your heart is yours to follow. Just see to it that you proceed with caution. Should you ever need it, Maagho is at your disposal. As am I, of course. Sleep well, lads. Well, guess we need to go give her our decision. Like there was any other option. So long as the empire is involved, our choices will be made for us.

----

My dear Camelia, it's been a while. Oh, I won't be staying long. So, to what do I owe the pleasure? I heard about your distinguished guests. You've an ear for gossip. Hardly any match for yours. Do you flatter me? Must you doubt me? Old habits. Hmph. It's time we broke them. Curious. That who I think? Who? Who? Gentlemen, I won't waste your time. My name is Camelia Claustra. First Secretary of the Accordo Protectorate. You should know we have Lady Lunafreya in our care. ...For the time being. I am inclined to surrender her to the empire. What? But not before I weigh the words of the King of Lucis. When you're prepared to discuss terms, come to my estate.

----

Once the rite is complete, we'll give them all we've got. We knew we'd have to take on the empire sooner or later. Then it's settled. Per the agreement, we will guarantee the Oracle's safety... ...insofar as it does not endanger our people. Once the empire attacks, I cannot—will not—be held responsible for her. Abandoning her at the altar? There's nothing to stop her from running. And nothing to stop me from going there now. Except the terms of this agreement. I won't let you jeopardize the lives of my people. Yet we're supposed to take a deal that'll cost hers? It's hardly a death sentence. The girl can fend for herself. Against an entire army? If you'd prefer, I could deliver her to the empire right now. You wouldn't... You've quite the penchant for picking on Lucian men. And you the penchant for eavesdropping. A skill I acquired here— My ears are all that's kept me in business. Certainly wasn't your manners. There is a play, once you know all the angles. We move our king to the fore to keep the pawns out of harm's way, while our pieces offer support from the back rank. Of course, our dear queen here is in no position to abet the enemy. Hmph. She has an ostensible allegiance to maintain, which is why she's alerted her imperial superiors to your presence. She did!? It's nothing personal. She wishes to keep the empire in check as you do, but can't afford to tip her hand. Should we prevail, she benefits by having her masters cast out of the capital. And should we fail, she ingratiates herself with them by having delivered the king. I'd hoped at least His Majesty would understand. I am First Secretary of Accordo. My loyalties lie with my people, and nowhere else. The liar-in-chief in a land of snakes. In her role, honesty is a luxury that can be ill afforded. You'll engage the empire as agreed. How you do so is up to you. But don't forget: the Oracle is in our custody. If you value her safety, you'd best behave yourselves. Same to you. We'll take care of the empire, but if you pull anything before the covenant— we'll take care of you next. I can't promise something I can't help. Of course. You certainly opened up to them, though. What can I say? I have a soft spot for the young and tragic. They've lost Regis, they've lost the crystal… Was it so long ago the last Oracle was taken from them? We've seen the empire go mad these ten-odd years. That we have. Holding my walls won't matter when the whole world crumbles.

What about Luna? Then I'll just go to the altar right now. You're leaving her for dead. No two ways about it. No deal. Same to you. Alright.

----

If worse comes to worse, you can threaten to throw the trident into the sea—then they'll listen. In the meantime, it will be well guarded. Better than the Oracle herself. Understood. I shall reclaim it at the altar. You'll be escorted by imperial soldiers. I know. Think of it as a necessary evil in order to forge the covenant. I am in your debt. Easy to see why they all adore you. Once it's over, you may go as you please, but you do so without our protection. So be it. You'd better get going. Your public is waiting for you.

----

The wedding day arrives, but alas, without the bride. Of course, we've come for the Hydraean, and you've gone to such lengths to prepare. Merely my duty. Ah, but for an outsider to lead the imperial army must be a battle in and of itself. You've spoken to Lady Lunafreya? No. That obstinate secretary, standing in the way. While you rush off to slay the Hydraean for your poor sister's sake. I know the price of the covenant. First the Archaean, then the Fulgurian, and soon the Hydraean! Tragic...yet were the bond to be severed... The Oracle is not your concern. ...the world would be the daemons' for the taking. Your presence is not required. And then there's this. My arm, what of it? The pitiable fate of one spurned by the light... And you wished only to be its champion. Meanwhile that recalcitrant vagabond is chosen. I understand more than you can know. You do seem rather...well-acquainted. Acquaintances are the means by which I keep an ear to the ground and an eye on the heavens. One doesn't live to my age without making a few friends. We suffered great losses slaying the Archaean, and this battle should prove no different. Should the chancellor insist on staying, I must insist on appointing guardsmen for your safety. Most kind of you to care for my...well being.

----

Pryna... Pryna! Such a terrible storm. My poor escort... the waves ate him alive. You... Most perceptive, must run in the family. You're holding onto something that doesn't belong to you. And I'm supposed to collect it. But on second thought, you keep it. We can't have a king without a ring, now can we? And do remind him about the Crystal. I want him to know his imperial friend is behind him. You have time enough to carry out your errand. The question is, have you the willpower? Of course you do, you're dying to see him! The anticipation is killing me as well! Ah, to see the look on his face as he watches his beloved die before his eyes! Come, sweet prince! Your bride awaits! I will pass the ring to the rightful king. The rightful king... will restore light to the world. And then, at long last, those in thrall to darkness shall find peace. Luna! Ladies first, sweet Lunafreya. Good luck finding peace. I'm coming. Hold on! Noctis... Luna!

----

Don't you love how trains let you just sit back and enjoy the ride? So, we're gonna roll through Tenebrae. Not before visiting the royal tomb at Cartanica. And the train'll just wait for us. How's the eyes? The wound's improved, but my sight has not... You wanna pass on Cartanica? No, I should be fine, given a bit more time. Forgive me, Noct. Once past Tenebrae, it's on to, uh, Niflheim. We've a chance to take a brief furlough in Tenebrae, courtesy of the first secretary. Camelia comes through. That's great! Should we...drop by? I don't know. Goddammit, how long you gonna mope like this? We're not stopping in Tenebrae. You know where we're headed and what we're out to do. So get a goddamn grip already. I've got a grip. That's why I'm here. Don't give me that crap. What're'you-- Not when you won't wear the ring, let alone look at it. She gave her life so you could do your duty, not so you could feel sorry for yourself. And Ignis, he took one for you. You should be apologizing, not him. But no, first you drag your feet and put it on him for not being able to drive us. Then when the Secretary goes out of her way to book the train for us, you make them drag the Regalia on board!? To be fair, it was Camelia who offered first...(with the Regalia) Think you got it bad? Take a look around! Your eyes still work. Where're you off to? I need some fresh air.

----

Aranea. The hell happened here? You should see the manor, come with me. Just come on, I'll fill you in along the way. The daemons wrought havoc? There's more to it than meets the eye, speaking of which. Long story. Oh. Where's your chipper little sidekick? Wish we only knew. Sorry to hear. So if it wasn't the daemons, that leaves… The imperial army. The army that you fight for. Fought for. My men and I are in the search and rescue business now. Huh. Why the attack on their own territory? A "royal welcome," they called it. Orders were to leave nothing standing. Petty, I know. They'd already sent a unit after your train. More like a battalion. Call him "Chancellor Overkill." So it's Ardyn. The Chancellor is running some circus.

Perhaps I'm fortunate I can't see what 's become of the once-beautiful manor. I can only imagine the grief of the people, who did nothing to deserve this.

----

To liven things up, I thought I'd take you on a stroll down memory lane. Of course, memories decay with time. Sadly, the sister went off into the deep, but I've brought the brother back as best I can. Don't be shy, you're hardly strangers. No...that can't be him. Wait a sec. What do you mean "him"? Who are you seeing? Ravus. Unbelievable. I wanted to finish it between us, but not like this. He was a person... Made into a daemon. But is it truly the work of imperial science?

FLASHBACKS

Ah, the young prince is recovering well. Who...? Gentiana, a Messenger. The prince has read of our kind? Oh! I tried to, but I only know what Luna told me. Lady Lunafreya. Yeah, Lunarffr...Luna. It is heartening to see the future King and the Oracle enjoy such familiarity. The fate of our world may depend on it. Prince Noctis. It's open! Uh, come in. How are you feeling today? Gentiana? Merely...well-wishing. Ah, how thoughtful of you. So, did she frighten you? Maybe...just a little. She's gone. An old trick of hers. Here one minute, gone the next. She gives me the creeps. Funny you should say that: even my brother grows timid around Gentiana. Even Ravus? Yes, but you've nothing to fear. The Messengers have our best interests at heart. In time, you will see. ...If you say so.

EPISODE IGNIS

I see my suspicions were correct. Bravo. But why have you aligned yourself with the darkness? I like to think the darkness has aligned itself with me. After all, we share a mutual odium of those thrust into the light and beloved by all, hailed by the masses as their "chosen savior." And what is your aim? Why, to bring the King to his senses. With your sister's help, of course.

Summer Scramble DLC - f!Robin / Gaius Married Conversation Translation - Part 1

Pre-3DS FE Translations - FE Awakening Translations - FE Fates Translations - FE Novel Translations - Original FE Support Conversations- Ko-fi

[ガイア]

ほう、今度のは青色の巻き貝か。

これもなかなか高く売れそうだな。▼

こっちの貝殻は... ルフレに

似合いそうな色だ。▼

Gaius: Wow, this one’s a blue spiral shell! Bet this one’ll fetch a high price too! And this one… the color really fits Robin.

[ルフレ]

ガイアさん！

Robin: Gaius!

[ガイア]

あぁ、ルフレか。

そんなに急いでどうした？▼

さては俺に会いたくなったか？▼

Gaius: Hey, Robin. What are you in a hurry for? Did you want to see me that badly?

[ルフレ]

何言ってるんですか... ▼

それより、今そちらに矢が

飛んで行きませんでしたか！？▼

Robin: What are you saying…? More importantly, didn’t arrows come flying over here!?

[ガイア]

そういや飛んできてたな。

けど平気だ。全部当たらなかった。▼

Gaius: Yeah, they did. But I’m fine. None of them hit me.

[ルフレ]

あ、当たらなかったって...

そういう問題じゃありませんよ！▼

ここは危険です。

すぐに退避してください！▼

Robing: Argh, “None of them hit me,” you say… That’s not the problem! It’s dangerous here! Please get away from here!

[ガイア]

いや、そういうわけにはいかない。

この辺にはお宝がいっぱい落ちてるからな。▼

はら、この貝殻なんか高く売れるんだぜ？

これを逃さないではないだろ？▼

Gaius: I can’t. There’s a lot of treasure lying around here. Look, I can sell this shell for a lot! I can’t let this opportunity pass me by, can I?

[ルフレ]

お宝って．．．

そんなの売ってどうするんですか。▼

お菓子を買うお金にでも

するんですか．．．？▼

Robin: Treasure…? What are you planning to do once you’ve sold it? Use the money to buy candy…?

[ガイア]

ま、まぁ．．．そんなとこだな。▼

Gaius: U-Um… You’re right.

[ルフレ]

！！ガイアさん、後ろ！！▼

Robin: !! Gaius, behind you!!

（weapon hitting armor sound effect)

[ガイア]

お、ありがとなルフレ。

おかげで助かったぜ。▼

Gaius: Oh, thanks, Robin. You saved me.

[ルフレ]

助かったぜ、じゃないですよ！▼

今の矢、私がいなかったら

当たってましたよ！？▼

私、ガイアさんとこんなところで

お別れするなんて嫌です！▼

もう貝殻を拾うのはやめて

真面目に戦ってください．．．！▼

Robin: No, not “You saved me!” If I wasn’t here, that arrow would have it you, wouldn’t it!?I would hate to lose you here! Please stop collecting shells already and take this fight seriously…!

[ガイア]

なんだよ、俺が真面目に戦ってないってのか？▼

Gaius: What, do you mean I’m not taking this fight seriously?

[ルフレ]

現に今、貝殻に気を取られて

敵の攻撃を受けそうになってましたよね？▼

Robin: You were distracted by the shells just now and nearly got hit by an enemy’s attack, didn’t you?

[ガイア]

あれはお前が話しかけるからだよ。

いつもなら周りの様子ぐらいちゃんと見てる。▼

Gaius: I was distracted because I was talking to you. I’m always watching my surroundings, at the very least.

[ルフレ]

そんな．．．

私のせいだって言うんですか？▼

Robin: So… You’re saying it was my fault?

[ガイア]

別にそういう意味で言ったんじゃない。

お前、自意識過剰じゃないのか？▼

Gaius: That’s not really what I said at all. Aren’t you being overly self-conscious?

[ルフレ]

なんですっって．．．！？

どうかが考えてもそういう意味じゃないですか！▼

もういいです、

勝手にしてください！▼

せっかく心配して来たのに．．．▼

ガイアさんなんて波打ち際で海水にまみれて

しょっぱい思いでもしてればいいんです！！▼

Robin: What did you just say…!? No matter how you look at it, that’s not what I meant at all! Fine, please, just do what you want! To think that I bothered to worry about you and come over here… I hope you get covered in seawater on the beach and it leaves you with a salty memory of your time here!*

*This pun worked well enough in translation, but I want to make an extra note to help get the full original meaning across. “Shoppai omoide” literally means “salty memory,” but is a saying that means to a “bad/difficult/painful experience/memory.” I think the writers intended for both the literal and figurative meanings to apply here. Made me giggle at least.

I added “of your time here” in the English because leaving it at just “salty memory” sounded a bit awkward to me.

(Robin leaves)

[ガイア]

はぁ、怒らせちまったか。▼

これでも、前よりずっと

身の安全には子を使ってる方なんだがな．．．▼

前は、俺なんていつ死んだって

誰も悲しまないと思ってた。▼

けど今はあいつが．．．

ルフレがいる。▼

俺だって、あいつとこんなところで

死に別れるなんて嫌だからな．．．▼

ま、でも伝わってなかったんなら

そう思ってないのと同じことだ。▼

さて、どうしたもんかな．．．▼

Gaius: Sigh, I made her mad. Even though I use way more caution than I used to… Before, I thought no one would be sad if I died. But now, I… have her. I would hate to die and leave her here, too… But, well, since I didn’t say so, it’s the same as if I don’t think so at all. Now what should I do…

Joker Game Novel Translations: Book 4, Chapter 1 "Valkyrie" - Part 2 of 13

And here we’re back to the second appointment in which I allow translator engines to try to make sense of @great-blaster transcription of the Japanese text of Valkyrie (you can find the link in the notes of this message if you’re interested).

As usual I remember you all translators engine don’t really do a great work in regard to translating things perfectly, and that even if I tried to at least smooth the English a bit and to fix the sentences that were really impossible to understand, my knowledge of Japanese is really so low it’s not worth mentioning so I might have messed up more often than not…

Still, if you feel like meeting up Itsumi Gorō and Yukimura Kōichi in the Germany of December 1939 (yes, the one in which Miyoshi was working as well!) please enjoy this chapter and, please, if you spot mistakes you’re free to come hit me in the head with the right translation. I don’t mind.

Again a lot of thanks to @great-blaster who provided the original transcription and to @unnagi whose summary helped me to figure where this was going when Google translate was being particularly uncooperative.

1 ベルリン中心部、ヴィルヘルム街。 Center of Berlin, Wilhelmstraße [1]. 老舗のホテル、カイザーホーフの大広間で開かれた日独共催パーティーは、なかなかの盛況ぶりだった。 A Japanese-German co-organized party held in the hall of a well-established hotel, the Kaiserhof [2], was being quite a success. 新作映画のお披露目も兼ねるとあってフロアには大勢の招待客がつめかけ、存分に提供された食べ物や飲み物を楽しんでいる。会場の隅で生演奏される弦楽四重奏、さらにはホステス役として駆り出された映画女優たちがパーティーに華を添えていた。 As the party also worked as an exhibition for the new movie there were a lot of invited guests on the floor, enjoying the food and drinks provided to their fullest. A string quartet was performing in the corner of the hall, and movie actresses who were cast out as a hostess appeared at the party making it even more beautiful. 逸見五郎（いつみごろう）は会場を見回し、満足げに軽く目を細めた。 Itsumi Gorō looked around the venue and narrowed his eyes lighted by satisfaction. パーティーに参加しているご婦人方の多くが大きく胸を刳った鮮やかな色のドレスを身にまとっている。対して、男性陣の服装は冴えない褐色の背広――陰で〝ビトラー服″と呼ばれている―――とナチスの灰色の制服姿が目立つ。そのせいで雰囲気がいくらか堅くなっているが、時局柄、この程度はやむを得まい。 Many of the ladies who were participating at the party had big breasts and were wearing brilliant coloured dresses. On the other hand, the men 's clothes were dark brown suits - the shade was called "Vittor clothes" [3] - and the gray uniform of the Nazis stood out. The atmosphere was somewhat stiff due to that, but in view of the present situation, this was unavoidable. 何と言っても、この国（ドイツ）は戦争中なのだ。 Anyway, this country (Germany) was at war. 今年九月の開戦以来、首都ベルリンだけでなく、ドイツの主要都市では厳重な灯火管制が敷かれている。陽が落ちた後は、表通りは真っ暗だ。建物の窓には、外に明かりが漏れないよう分厚いカーテンが二重にかけられている。アルコール類はむろん、日常の食料品までもが配給制となったいま、華やかなパーティーが行われているホテルのこの空間だけが、まるで時空の異なる別世界のようだ。 Since the war had started in September of that year [4], strict lighting control had been imposed, not only in the capital city of Berlin but also in major German cities. After the sun set, the main streets were pitch black. Thick curtains are applied twice to to the windows of the buildings so that the light won’t leak outside. Of course there is a distribution system not only for alcohol, but also for everyday grocery so that only this space of the hotel where colorful parties are held seems to be a different world with different space-time. 顔を上げ、傍らの壁を斜に見上げた。 He raised his face and looked up at the wall at his side. パーティー会場正面の一番目立つ場所に、巨大な日章旗とナチス・ドイツの国旗であるハーケンクロイツ旗が麗々しく掲げられている―――。 In the most prominent place in the front of the party venue, a huge Japanese flag and the Nazi Germany national flag, the Hakenkreuz flag [5], were nicely raised. 「ハイル、ヒトラー」 "Heil, Hitler [6]." 逸見はグラスを顔の前に掲げ、口の中で冗談めかして呟いた。次の瞬間、背後から突然日本語で声をかけられた。 Itsumi muttered jokingly as he raised a glass in front of his face. The next moment, he was suddenly called out in Japanese by a voice behind him. 「トーゴーさん？ゼン・トーゴーさんですよね？」 "Togo-san? Aren’t you Zen Togo-san?" ぎょっとして振り返ると、日本人の青年が立っていた。中肉中背。地味な灰色の背広。整ってはいるが、これといって特徴のない印象の薄い顔だ。色白の頬が興奮のせいで薄く上気している。 When he turned around to look back, he saw that a Japanese young man was standing there. Medium built. Sober gray suit. Although pleasant, his face was thin with no particular characteristics. The fair white cheeks are flushed with excitement. 「申し訳ないが、人違いだ」 "I am sorry, but you’re mistaken." 逸見はそっけなく答えた。 Itsumi responded flatly. 「えっ？あっ、すみません。僕はまたてっきり……」 "Eh? Ah, I am sorry. I was so sure... " 気の毒なほど動揺した様子で口ごもる青年に、逸見は片目をつむってみせた。 Itsumi winked to the young man who was obviously pitifully upset. 「〝ゼン・トーゴー″は新作映画の中の役名でね。スクリーンの外では逸見五郎だよ」 "‘Zen Togo’ is my name in the new movie. Outside of the screen I’m Itsumi Gorō." そう言って、豪快に笑い飛ばした。 Saying that, he smiled wildly. 青年は一瞬呆気にとられたように目をしばたたかせた。が、すぐに合点がいった顔付きで「あっ、なるほど。そういうことか」と呟くと、改めて逸見にむかって色紙を差し出した。 The young man blinked as though he had been astounded for a moment. But, immediately, with the expression of one who had connected the dots murmured, "Ah, I see. That’s it." then again pushed toward Itsumi a colored paper. 「サインをお願いできないでしょうか」 "Can you please give me an autograph?" 「いいよ」 "Okay." 逸見は無造作に色紙を受け取り、タキシードの内ポケットから愛用の万年筆を取り出した。 Itsumi took colored paper in a casual way, taking out his favorite fountain pen from the inner pocket of his tuxedo. 「宛て名はどうする？」 "Who do I address it to?" 「名前を入れて頂けるんですか？うれしいな。それじゃ〝雪村幸一（ゆきむらこういち）さんへ″とお願いします。空から降る〝雪″に、村役場の〝村″、〝幸い″〝一つ″です」 "Can you address it to me? I'm so happy. I'd like it to say "To Yukimura Kōichi-san". It’s written with the kanji "雪" (Yuki) of the snow falling from the sky, "村" (mura) of the village hall, "幸" (Kō) of happiness and "一" of one." 「雪村さん、今回の新作映画は気に入ってくれたかな」 "Yukimura-san, I wonder if you liked this new movie." 「もちろんです！素晴らしい映画でした！」 "Of course! It was a wonderful movie!" 「どこが一番気に入った？」 "What did you like the most?" そうですね、と首を傾げた雪村は、考え考え答えた。 Well, tilting his head Yukimura, replied thoughtfully. 「何といっても、脚本が良かったと思います。例えば、映画の冒頭でトーゴーが銀のフラスクから酒を注ごうとして苦笑する場面がありますよね。いつも持ち歩いているフラスクが実はスパイの小道具の一つ―――小型爆弾だった、というあのエピソードが、最後の最後であんな形で物語に関わってくるだなんて！観ていて、思わずなるほどと膝を打ちました」 "Anyway, I think that the script was good. For example, at the beginning of the movie there is a scene where Togo smiles bitterly at a silver flask trying to pour sake from it. The flak he always carry around is actually one of the props of a spy --- a small bomb, that episode, at the very end was relevant to the story in such a way! When I was watching I instinctively hit my knee. " 逸見はサインした色紙を返しながら、意外な気がして相手を見直した。あの伏線に気づくとは、まんざら馬鹿ではない。目を細めた逸見の表情の意味を勘違いしたのだろう、雪村が慌てた様子で早口に付け足した。 While returning the signed paper, Itsumi felt surprise and reconsidered his companion. Since he noticed the hints he wasn’t a stupid. Perhaps misunderstanding the meaning of Itsumi’s narrowed eyes, Yukimura added in panic. 「もちろん、ニヒルさを漂わせる日本のスパイ、ゼン・トーゴーを演じた逸見さんの演技は文句なく素晴らしかったです。ほかにも……」 "Of course, the performance of Itsumi who played the nihilistic Japanese spy, Zen Togo, was unquestionably fabulous. Besides ..." 逸見は軽く手を振り、雪村の追従を遮った。 Itsumi gently waved his hand, interrupting Yukimura's follow-up. 気がつくと、いつの間にか周囲に人の輪ができていた。その中の何人かが、参加者に配られた映画のパンフレット見本を差し出して、逸見にサインを求めた。 They realized a circle of people had formed around them without them noticing. Some of them pushed out a pamphlet of the movie given to the participants and asked Itsumi to sign it. 気軽にサインに応じながら、逸見は人々が好き勝手に口にする映画の感想にそれとなく耳をすまし、おおむね好意的な感想ばかりなのを確認して、ほっと息をついた。 While casually accepting to sign, Itsumi implicitly listened to the impression of the movie people talk about, confirming there were only favorable impressions, and grew relaxed. 日独共同製作となった新作映画『二人のスパイ』―――ドイツ語タイトルは『ディー・ツヴァイ・シュピオーネ』―――の筋書きはこうだ。 This is the scenario of the new movie co-produced by Japan and Germany "Futari no spy" ("The Two Spies") -German title "Die Zwei Spionen" -. 主人公は日本帝国陸軍のスパイ、ゼン・トーゴーと、やはりドイツ陸軍から派遣された若きスパイ、シュテファン・シュバルツ。敵国に潜入した二人は、ふとしたことからお互いが日本軍とドイツ軍から派遣されたスパイだと気づく。最初、二人は反目する。金髪碧眼、非の打ち所のないドイツ人青年シュテファンの目には、はるばる海を越えて派遣されてきた東洋人のトーゴーが、任務を忘れ、女遊びにうつつを抜かしている〝怠け者″のように見えたからだ。案の定、トーゴーは敵の女スパイがしかけた罠にひっかかり、危うく命を落としかける。その危機を救ったのが、シュテファンだ。その過程でシュテファンは、トーゴーの女遊びが実は情報を得るための偽装であることを聞かされる。誤解は解けた。二人は協力して、敵国の巨大な陰謀をついに突き止める。だが、その直後、今度はシュテファンが敵の手に落ちる。厳しい拷問を受けるシュテファン。トーゴーは敵の裏をかいて、シュテファンを救出する。夜の街を疾走る二人。もう少しで国境というところまで来て、二人は敵に包囲される。このままでは二人とも捕まることを悟ったトーゴーは、シュテファンにすべてを託して自ら死地に逝く―――。 The heroes are a spy of the Japanese Imperial Army, Zen Togo, and a young spy sent from the German Army, Stefan Schwartz. The two, who had infiltrated in an enemy country, suddenly realized that each of them was a spy dispatched one from the Japanese army and the other from the German army. At first, the two antagonized. In the eyes of the blond haired blue eyed, impeccable German youth Stefan, the Asian Togo who had been sent all the way across the sea, had forgotten his mission and seemed like a "lazy fellow" and also a playboy. Sure enough, Togo got caught in a trap brought by an enemy woman spy, and put his life at risk. It was Stefan who saved him. During this Stefan was told that Togo's playboy act is, actually, a camouflage to get information. The misunderstanding was solved. The two worked together to finally discover a huge conspiracy from the enemy country. But shortly afterwards, this time it was Stefan who fell into the enemy 's hands. Stephan was subjected to severe torture. Togo, behind the enemy’s back, rescued Stefan. The two people ran in the streets at night. Coming up close to the border line, the two were surrounded by enemies. Togo, who realized that both of them would be caught if nothing were to change, entrusted everything to Stefan and died alone-. 「わたくし、二人とも死んでしまうんじゃないかと思って、ずっとハラハラしながら観ていましたわ」 "I thought that both of you would die and I was staring at you all the way." 深紅のドレスを着た大柄な中年のドイツ人女性が声高に言った。 A large middle-aged German woman wearing a crimson dress shouted loudly. 「手に汗を握るというのは、まさにあのことを言うのですわね」 "I mean I was sitting on the edge of my seat in suspense, exactly as you said." そう言いながら興奮した様で大きく手を動かすので、手にしたグラスからいまにもワインがこぼれ出しそうだ。 As she excitedly said so she moved his hands a lot, so that it was likely the wine would spill out from the glass she got. 「私はむしろ、トーゴーのような男は何があっても生き延びると思っていたのだがね」 "I thought that a man like Togo survives anything, no matter what." かっぷくの良い実業家風のドイツ人男性がそう言って眉を寄せた。くわえていた葉巻を口から離して逸見に尋ねた。 A good, businessman-like German male said so while furrowing his eyebrows. He pulled out from his the mouth of the cigar that he was holding and questioned Itsumi. 「ミツコ、と言ったかな？トーゴーの婚約者だったあの日本の娘は、あの後どうなるのだ？シュテファンと結婚することになるのかね？」 "Wasn’t she called Mitsuko? What will happen to that Japanese girl who was Togo’s fiancée, will she marry Stefan?" 「そうかもしれません。あるいは、そうでないかも」 "Maybe so, or maybe not." 逸見は慇懃に答えた。 Itsumi answered in a hurry. 「何？どういう意味かね？」 "What? What do you mean?" 「映画の続きは、観客の皆様、それぞれの胸の内にあるのです」 "The continuation of the movie is in the heart of the audience." 逸見はグラスを上げ、奇麗に並んだ白い歯を見せて、にこりと笑って答えた。 Itsumi raised his glass and smiled showing beautiful straight white teeth as he answered. 「続きがどうなるのか。お好きな物語を、どうぞご自由に想像して下さい。それも映画の楽しみのひとつです」 "What will happen next? Please feel free to imagine your favorite story. That is one of the pleasure of movies." 「フム、そんなものかね」 "Hm, is that it?" 実業家風の男性は何だか騙されたような納得のいかない顔でふたたび葉巻をくわえた。 The businessman-like man resumed smoking his cigar with an unconvinced expression, as if he felt as if they were deceiving him. 男の連れの瘦せたご婦人が、逸見をじろじろと眺めて訊ねた。 The lady who had accompanied that man looked at Itsumi carefully before making her question. 「貴方、映画の中より年上に見えるわね。本当はおいくつなの？」 "You look older than in the movie, how old are you?" 「二十八、と言っておきましょうか」 "Shall I tell you? I’m twenty eight." 「それは今回の映画の主人公、ゼン・トーゴーの設定でしょう？わたしが訊いているのは、貴方の本当の年齢よ」 "Isn’t it the set age for the main character of this movie, Zen Togo? It’s your true age what I am asking you." 「弱りましたね」 "I’m hurt." 逸見は苦笑しながら、左右を見回した。 Itsumi smiled bitterly, looked around at his left and right. 周囲に集まった者たち全員が答えを待っている顔付きだ。 All the people gathered around him had the expression of being waiting for an answer. 「では、みなさん。ここだけの秘密ですよ」 "Well, everyone. This is a secret that will remain between us here." 逸見は手招きをして人の輪を狭め、額を寄せて小声で囁いた。 Itsumi invited the circle of people to come closer, furrowing his brows and whispering in a low voice. 「じつは、もうすぐ三十五になります」 "Well, I’m almost thirty-five." 「ほんとうに？」 "Really?" 「なるほどね」 "I see." 「やっぱり、映画俳優は若く見えるものだ」 "After all, movie actors look young." 「それとも日本人はみんなそうなのかしら？」 "Or are all Japanese people like that?" 〝ここだけの秘密″を教えてもらった者たちはすっかり御満悦の様子で、口々に好きなことを喋っている。 Those who learnt "the secret that will remain between us" were totally satisfied and started talking about their favourite things. 逸見はドイツ特産の甘い白ワインをひとくち口に含み、〝クラーク・ゲーブル似″とも称される美しい口髭の下で苦笑を押し殺した。 Itsumi drank a sweet white wine, which was a German special product and hid a bitter smile under his beautiful moustaches, whose style was also known as "Clark Gable" [7]. 本当は今年で四十だ。 Actually, he’ll be forty that year. だが、本当の年齢などいったい何の意味がある？ However, what is exactly the meaning of his real age? 映画は嘘の芸術だ。スクリーンに映る光と影を観て、観客がどう思うか、何を感じるかがすべてだ。スクリーンの外での〝本当のこと″など、何の意味も待たない―――。 A movie is an artistic lie. Watching the light and shadows on the screen, all that matter is what the audience thinks and feel. Such things as "real thing" had no meaning outside the screen ---. それが逸見のポリシーであり、信念だった。例えばシュテファン役のクルト・フィッシャーなど、スクリーンの中ではあれほど見栄えのする役者もいない。が、頭の悪さはおよそ人前に出せた代物ではない。 It was Itsumi’s policy and belief. Take Kurt Fischer who had the role of Stefan; not many actors can look so good on the screen. But his stupidity is not something that can be showed to the public. 「スパイか。憧れるな……」 "A spy? Wouldn’t you like to be one..." 親衛隊（SS）の灰色の制服を着たドイツ人の青年が、思わず、といったように呟いた。顔を上げ、まわりに聞かれたことに気づいて、慌てた様子で手を振った。 A German young man wearing a gray uniform of the Schutzstaffel (SS) [8] misunderstood what he muttered unintentionally. Raising his face as he realized what he was being asked about he waved his hands in panic. 「冗談ですよ、冗談。僕なんかにスパイが務まるはずがない。僕は、その、何というか、映画に出てきたシュテファンみたいに美男子じゃないですからね」 "It’s a joke, a joke. I can’t work as a spy. I… Well… how to put it… I’m not a beautiful boy like Stefan who appeared in the movie." ヒトラー少年隊（ユーゲント）から上がってきたばかりだろう、年の割に骨太のがっしりした体格、にきび痕の目立つ幼さを残した顔は、たしかに女性の気をひく〝二枚目″とは言い難い―――。 That person should have just left the Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend) [9], he had a strong physical structure and a face that had been left with conspicuous acne scars from his youth and certainly considering the attention he was getting from the ladies it was hard to say he was "handsome" ---. 「おいおい、それじゃきみは、映画に出てくるような人物が本物のスパイだと思っているのかい？」 "C’mon, then, would you think that a person who appears in a movie is a real spy?" 逸見は冗談めかした口調で青年に尋ねた。 Itsumi asked the young man in a joking tone. 「えっ、違うのですか？」 "Er, is he not?" 「自分で演じておいて、こんなことを言うのも何なんだがね」 "I prepared myself for the role, and I can say it with confidence." 逸見は頭を掻いて言った。 Itsumi scratched his head and continued. 「今回の映画の役作りのために色んなところで、あれこれ聞いてまわったんだが、本物のスパイはどうやらあんな風じゃないらしい。実際のスパイはシュテファンのような美男子ではない―――というか、スパイになる人物はそもそも魅力的な人物であってはいけないらしいんだ」 "I’ve heard it in various places when I was preparing myself for the role in this movie but apparently the real spy seems not to be like that. A real spy is not a beautiful boy like Stefan ---, I mean, it seems that the person who becomes a person must not be a glamorous person in the first place. " 「スパイが？」 "A spy can’t be as such? " 「美男子であってはいけない？」 "It can’t be a beautiful boy? " 周囲の聴衆は、逸見が何を言い出したのかと訝しむように顔を見合わせた。 The people in the surrounding audience looked at each other as if to say what in the world Itsumi was saying. 「いいですか、みなさん」 "All right, everyone?" 逸見はぐるりと周囲を見回し、大袈裟な身振りで手をあげて、聴衆の注意を集めた。 Itsumi looked around, raised his hand with an exaggerated gesture and gathered the attention of the audience. 「スパイの仕事とはなんです？第一に、敵が秘密にしている機密情報を、相手に気づかれないようこっそり探り出し、密かに自国に持ち帰ることです。だとしたら、本物のスパイは目立っちゃいけない。どこにいても人目をひく二枚目には、そもそも向いていないのです。〝闇から闇へ″〝人知れず行動する″〝誰にも疑われない″。それが本物のスパイの鉄則です。だがしかし……だとしても、しかしです……」 "What is a spy’s job? First of all, it is to secretly search confidential information that the enemy is keeping secret and secretly bring them back home without being noticed by the other person. Therefore, real spies shouldn’t stand out. It wouldn’t suit it in the first place, to be an eye catching beautiful man who draw attention wherever he is. "They come from darkness and go back to darkness" "Acting in an unnoticeable manner" "Someone beyond suspicions." Those are the real rules of the real spy. But... even so ... however .... " 逸見は声の音量を徐々に下げ、言葉を切って難しい顔で黙り込んだ。 Itsumi gradually lowered the volume of his voice slowly, silencing his words with a complicated expression. 周囲の者たちが自然と身を乗り出し、固唾を呑んで話の続きを待っている―――上目づかいにそのことを確認して、詰めていた息をふうと吐き出した。 The surrounding people spontaneously began to lean forward, waiting for the continuation of the story with breathlessly --- he confirmed that raising his eyes and then breathed out his next words. 「しかし、それでは映画としては面白くならない」 "But then it will not be fun as a movie."[10] 肩をすくめて言った。 He shrugged as he said it. 「いくら本物のスパイが目立たない人物だからといって、目立たない人物が、目立たないように行動している様子を映画にしても仕方がない。そんな映画を、わざわざお金を払って誰が観に来るというのです？だから、映画の中ではスパイはあくまで命知らずで、喧嘩に強く、当然女性にももてる。そうでなくちゃならない。なぜか？観客の皆様が、スパイに魅力的であってほしいと望むからです。そう、映画はあなたたちの物なのです。みなさん、御清聴、ありがとうございました」 "Because even though real genuine spies aren’t noticeable, inconspicuous figures, there is no point in making a movie in which you act so as to be inconspicuous. Why would one bother to pay for such a movie and who would come to see it? So, in the movies, spies are daredevils, strong during fights and also naturally popular with women. They have to be. Why? It is because everyone in the audience wants a spy to be attractive. Yes, the movie is made for you. Everyone, thank you for listening. " おどけたように右手をくるりと回して一礼すると、聴衆の中から軽い笑い声があがった。何人かは拍手をして寄越した。 At his humorous brief bow done rotating his right hand, a light laugh erupted from the audience. Some applauded. そんな中、さっき〝スパイに憧れる″と言った親衛隊の制服を着た青年だけは、相変わらず首を傾げていた。 Meanwhile, only the young man who was wearing the uniform of the uniform of the Schutzstaffel and that had asked him if "he would like to be a spy" was tilting his head as usual. 「それじゃ、僕もスパイになれるってことですか？」 "Well then, does that mean I can be a spy?" 「私に訊かれても困るがね」 "If you ask to me, I can’t really tell." 逸見は目を眇め、相手の姿をじろじろと眺めて言った。 Itsumi looked in his eyes, staring carefully at the other’s face. 「少なくともその制服を着ているかぎりは無理なんじゃないかな？その制服は、何というか、ちょっと目立ちすぎる。もちろん、きみには良く似合っているがね」 "At least as long as you wear that uniform I guess it's impossible? That uniform, well, is somewhat outstanding. Of course, it looks good on you." 「似合っている？そう、ですか？」 "Who would match the description? Well, who?" 相手の青年は目をしばたたいて呟いた。言葉の意味をはかりかね、喜んでいいのか怒った方がいいのか決めかねている様子だ。 That young man muttered squeezing his eyes. It seems that he was unsure whether to be pleased or angry due to the meaning of his words. 「そうだな、本物のスパイということであれば……」 "Yeah, if there’s a genuine spy here...." 逸見は周囲を見回し、聴衆の中の一人の人物に目を留めた。 Itsumi looked around and gazed at one person in the audience. 彼がまだいたとは、驚きだ。 It was surprising that that person was still there. 「案外、彼なんかが本物のスパイなのかもしれない」 "Unexpectedly, he could be a real spy" 逸見はそう言って、最初にサインを貰いに来た日本人の青年―――雪村幸一―――をぴたりと指し示した。 Itsumi said so, pointing at the Japanese youth --- Yukimura Kōichi --- who asked his autograph at the beginning. 皆の視線がいっせいに雪村に集まった。 Everyone's eyes turned on Yukimura at the same time. 「僕？僕が、スパイ？」 "Me? I could be a spy?" 雪村は唖然としたように目を白黒させ、慌てた様子で体の前で両手を振った。 Yukimura’s eyes widened, as if he were stunned and shook his hands in front of his body in panic. 「いやいや、待ってください。僕は日本から来たただの内装屋で……新しく建築中の日本大使館の内装を請け負っているだけですよ。嘘だと思うなら、日本大使館に問い合わせてもらえば……」 "No, please, wait. I am only an interior clerk from Japan ...... I am only undertaking the interior decoration of the new Japanese embassy under construction. If you think that it is a lie, ask the Japanese embassy…" 逸見はぷっとふきだした。 Itsumi immediately spoke up. 「冗談だよ、ちょっとした冗談。雪村さんがあまりおとなしくて、目立たないものだから、ちょっとからかってみただけだ。目立たない者こそがスパイだというなら、まさに雪村さん、あなたこそスパイに相応しい」 "It's a joke, a little joke. Since Yukimura-san is not very conspicuous and noticeable, I just tried to tease him. If one were to say that someone inconspicuous is a spy, Yukimura-san, you’re exactly like one." 「……勘弁してくださいよ」 “…Give me a break.” 雪村はげんなりしたように顔をしかめた。 Yukimura frowns as if he had just received a blown. 逸見は顔を上げ、周囲の者たちを見回すようにして、もう一度声をあげた。 Itsumi raised his face, looked around the surrounding people, and raised his voice again. 「それでは、みなさん。この後もパーティーを楽しんでください」 "Well then, everyone, please enjoy the party even after this!" その場を離れぎわ、逸見は傍らにいた若い共演女優の腰にそっと手を回した。 As he left that spot, Itsumi gently wrapped his arm around the thin waist of the young female costar who was next to him. NOTES: [1] Wilhelmstrasse is a major thoroughfare in the central Mitte and Kreuzberg districts of Berlin, Germany. Until 1945, it was recognised as the centre of the government, first of the Kingdom of Prussia, later of the unified German Reich, housing in particular the Reich Chancellery and the Foreign Office. [2] Hotel Kaiserhof was a luxury hotel in Wilhelmplatz, Berlin, Germany. It opened in October 1875. It was located next to the Reich Chancellery in what was at the time the city's "government quarter". [3] Vittor clothes (ビトラー服). Sorry I couldn’t find info on this one. [4] September 1, 1939: World War II begins when the Germans invade Poland with a three-front Blitzkrieg. [5] Hakenkreuz flag, better known as the swastika flag. The swastika was adopted by several organizations in pre–World War I Europe and later, and most notably, by the Nazi Party and Nazi Germany prior to World War II. It was used by the Nazi Party to symbolize German nationalistic pride. [6] Heil, Hitler (“Hail Hitler!”) was the famous line said when doing the Hitler salute (Hitlergruß), a gesture that was used as a greeting in Nazi Germany. The salute was performed by extending the right arm from the neck into the air with a straightened hand. It was adopted in the 1930s by the Nazi Party to signal obedience to the party's leader, Adolf Hitler, and to glorify the German nation (and later the German war effort). The salute was mandatory for civilians, but was mostly optional for military personnel who retained the traditional military salute until shortly after the failed assassination attempt on Hitler on July 20, 1944, by Claus von Stauffenberg and co-conspirators. [7] William Clark Gable (February 1, 1901 – November 16, 1960) was an American film actor and military officer, often referred to as "The King of Hollywood" or just simply as "The King". His moustache began so famous that people, to refer to moustaches styled like his, says Clark Gable moustache… which it’s funny since he didn’t want one to begin with. He had to grow one for 1930’s play "Love, Honor and Betray" but cut it immediately afterward… but was forced to grow it back in 1933 for his role in "The White Sister" and by the time he filmed "It Happened One Night" (1934) which made his fame soar and his moustache copied by millions of fans. [8] The Schutzstaffel (SS) was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II. From 1929 until the regime's collapse in 1945, the SS was the foremost agency of security, surveillance, and terror within Germany and German-occupied Europe. The two main constituent groups were the Allgemeine SS (General SS) and Waffen-SS (Armed SS). The Allgemeine SS was responsible for enforcing the racial policy of Nazi Germany and general policing, whereas the Waffen-SS consisted of combat units within Nazi Germany's military. A third component of the SS, the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV), ran the concentration camps and extermination camps. Additional subdivisions of the SS included the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) organizations. They were tasked with the detection of actual or potential enemies of the Nazi state, the neutralization of any opposition, policing the German people for their commitment to Nazi ideology, and providing domestic and foreign intelligence. [9] The Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend) was the youth organisation of the Nazi Party in Germany. Its origins dated back to 1922 and from 1933 until 1945, it was the sole official youth organisation in Germany and was partially a paramilitary organisation; it was composed of the Hitler Youth proper for male youths aged 14 to 18, the German Youngsters in the Hitler Youth (Deutsches Jungvolk in der Hitler Jugend or "DJ", also "DJV") for younger boys aged 10 to 14, and the League of German Girls (Bund Deutsche Mädel or "BDM"). [10] It’s speculated that this story is Yanagi Koji’s answer to the ‘Joker Game’ movie in which the novels were adapted so as to get a much more action oriented story with a beautiful male character playing in the role of the spy.

耶利米書17:1-4

17:1 猶大的罪是用鐵筆、用金鋼鑽記錄的，銘刻在他們的心版上和壇角上。 17:2 他們的兒女記念他們高岡上、青翠樹旁的壇和木偶。 17:3 我田野的山哪，我必因你在四境之內所犯的罪，把你的貨物、財寶，並邱壇當掠物交給仇敵； 17:4 並且你因自己的罪必失去我所賜給你的產業。我也必使你在你所不認識的地上服事你的仇敵；因為你使我怒中起火，直燒到永遠。 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars, while their children remember their altars and their Asherim, beside every green tree and on the high hills, on the mountains in the open country. Your wealth and all your treasures I will give for spoil as the price of your high places for sin throughout all your territory. You shall loosen your hand from your heritage that I gave to you, and I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever.” ************ 在舊約中的兩個衝突是「拜偶像的邱壇」和「敬拜耶和華的聖殿中之祭壇」。而猶大和以色列滅國的原因，就是沒有捨棄「拜偶像的邱壇」，以致無法在「敬拜耶和華的聖殿中之祭壇」來服事上帝。也因為這樣，招惹上帝大大的怒氣！今日我們成為基督徒，也同樣面臨「拜偶像的邱壇」和「敬拜耶和華的聖殿中之祭壇」。「拜偶像的邱壇」要獻上自己的祭物，「敬拜耶和華的聖殿中之祭壇」是以耶穌基督為祭物。這有甚麼持差異呢？獻上自己的祭物，表示以為自己還有辦法，是以自以為是的方式敬拜上帝，其實不是上帝就是偶像；以耶穌基督為祭物，是上帝所定規的，是討上帝喜悅的，是真正的敬拜上帝。說到這裡，不禁要思考，我們當如何敬拜呢？還是自以為是的服事上帝呢？靠自己的義想得上帝的喜悅嗎？還是靠耶穌基督的死在十字架上來得上帝逤要賜給我們的義？上帝給我們的義，就是透過耶穌基督的救贖大功，與上帝有正確合宜的關係！

11/27 theHIATUS 新木場STUDIO COAST

ツイッターのコピペ

ハイエイタス相変わらず最高だったし伊澤さんがルンルンで踊ってて楽しそうでなによりでした笑好きな曲全部やってくれたよ、幸せが過ぎるよ、私にとって数年ぶりのShimmerは武道館発表の時の多幸感を思い出せたし、その時その時の思い出が詰まった曲だから色んな感情を思い出すことができて幸せだった

Sunburnも久しぶりに聴けてすごく嬉しかった。音が上から降ってくる感覚は健在ですごいなと思ったし、やっぱり緑色のイメージなんだね！照明、この曲にだけ緑が使われてて印象的でした。Cメロで繰り返される「Fast as my days go by」という言葉に、HIATUSは時の流れの美しさや尊さを映す鏡だなと。

時の流れ」に関する思いだったり歌い方だったりは嵐がよく歌う楽曲に似ていて、私が好きな人たちは時が流れ過ぎ去っていくという事実がどんなに尊くて切なくて悲しくて美しくて残酷で素晴らしいことかっていうのをいつも音楽にして伝えてくれるんだ……

Radioも嬉しかったなぁ。イントロの鍵盤の美しさ。「雨の日に傘を差さずに帰ったことがある。傘は持ってたのに。傘なんて差して何の意味があるんだと思ってた」なんて話す細美さんから悲壮感は全く感じられなくて、今になって笑い話にできていることが何よりだと思ったし不思議と背中を押された。

LittleOdyssey→Antibiotic→Something ever afterの流れがすごく好きだった……Antibioticは音源だとフェードアウトだけど、ライブだと細美さんが自慢していた「どこまでも続く一葉のピアノ」がちゃんと最後まで聴けるんだなって。ひたすら美しかった。LittleOdysseyはSAIの時に散々言ったから割愛！

My Own Worst Enemyも久しぶりに聴けて嬉しかった……嬉しいがたくさん笑武道館以来なのかな？堀江さんとは全く違うアプローチをする伊澤さんのピアノで聴くこの曲が大好きなんだけど、今回も短い間奏で魅せてて最高でした。なんであんなに曲に入り込めるのか。得意技をふんだんに詰め込んだ1小節。

SAIの時も思ったけどTheFlare→StormRacers→Monkeysの鉄板の流れは本当に本当にカッコいい！！Monkeysの時にフラフラ立って踊る伊澤さんが大好きだし、お客さんのテンションがMAXなのもめちゃくちゃ楽しくて……曲の流れをいっさい切らないこの怒涛さは一種の快感だよなと思う。

Bonfireはいつも思うけどなんであんなにドラムがハチャメチャなのにピアノとズレないの？激ムズなリフを鍵盤一切見ないで弾く伊澤さんが流石だった…楽しそうに歌って踊る細美さんはUnhurtやThirstでも見られて大好きなんだけど、この曲の細美さんは「俺達かっけぇだろ！？」って言ってるみたいで大好き！

紺碧は今回もすごく楽しくて幸せでした。「満天の星空も冬の日の夕闇も」の裏で伊澤さんが弾いてる音源にはないフレーズが大好きなんだけど、今回もそれが聴けてめちゃくちゃ嬉しかったし間奏で内向きに円になる5人はやっぱり最高に楽しそうでキラキラと輝いてて羨ましいくらいだった。一種の青春だよね！

私たちお客さんを見渡して仲間だと言ってくれる細美さんと、そのあとにいつも演奏してくれるSilver Birchが大好きなんだけど、もううう楽しくて楽しくてなんも覚えてない笑最後の「すたぁ↑あああああ〜〜ず」で曲が終わって会場中が拍手喝采になる瞬間が好きすぎて幸せすぎて感無量……好き……

最後はWアンコールでベテルギウス。紺碧、SilverBirchを演奏した日はやらない印象だったからすごくすごく嬉しくて思わず「わあああ！」って叫んだ！よ！この曲もBメロ?裏の音源にはない伊澤さんのダンサブルなバッキングが大好きで、それ聴いてテンションあがったままサビに突入できたから幸せでした。

白眉はThe Tower and The Snakeだなぁ！伊澤さんverで聴いたの初めてだし(色々やってた！)、照明がめちゃくちゃ凝っててすごかった。序盤はパッパッと変わってた照明がゆっくり回るようになる箇所があって、彼らが時間の流れを意図的に遅くしてるんじゃないかと錯覚するくらいでした。すごかった。

TheFlareかな？間奏でマサがギターを掲げたんだけど、そのギターに照明がバッて集まった瞬間があって最高にかっこよかったし思わず笑ってしまった笑大きな会場でギターだけを照らす照明。Let Me FallはストリングスパートをNordで鳴らしてて機械的なストリングスもいいなぁって。

SunburnのAメロの伊澤さんが最高なんだ……音源にもあるけど左手の低音(D)が会場中に響き渡ってて圧巻だったのと弾き方がとにかくノリノリで楽しそうで私が幸せだった……大サビ前にほんの一瞬だけ静かになって「So please stop」って歌う箇所は照明が細美さんだけを照らしてて綺麗だった……

Cloneはグランドピアノだと自力でディレイをかけた弾き方をしてたと思うんだけど(人力ディレイ笑)Nordだとボタンで一発だから割と弾きやすそうに見えたなぁ。冒頭のボーカルもディレイをかけてたんだけど、歌声を追っかける演出が凄くよかった。コードが変わらないから濁らずに美しいままなんだなって

コードが変わらないというかおんなじところをぐるぐる回ってるから追っかけさせても違和感ないんだろうなぁ。ボーカルにディレイかけて追っかけさせるのはブルーノートでもやってたやつ！

細美さんがMCしてるときに後ろで何度もくしゃみをする伊澤一葉が可愛かった

退場SEはJack's MannequinのCrashin、妙に爽やかで後味の良いライブ終わりでしたん

說說耶路薩冷大衛塔Talking about...David Tower,Jerusalem

我們可以在考古學上追溯耶路薩冷的起源歷史到西元前5,000多年，然而我在這裡的旅程並不是要做研究，如果我對行程景點增加一點背景知識，總是覺得有趣。今年，我單獨在耶路薩冷停留了5天，雖然不是長到可以成為它的一部分，但是已經足夠讓我好好遊玩這個古老都市了。何況，本來就不可能有足夠時間道盡耶路薩冷的故事，因為耶路薩冷是非常、非常、非常、非常的古老，一切的一切，都要從西元前3,200年，有初次出現固定的人類居民開始.......

We can trace Jerusalem's history back to 5,000 B.C. in archaeology.But my journey in Jerusalem was not for studies.It's for spiritual fun,and it's always fun to add some knowledge to my tours.This year,I had spent 5 days in Jerusalem solely.It was not long to become a part of this city,but long enough for me to enjoy this ancient city.Besides,it would never have enough time to tell its stories,because Jerusalem is very,very,very,very old.It all started from original residence in 3,200 B.C.....

影片film: David Tower ,Length:00:01:29,54.6MB,854x480.

我沒有足夠的時間和精力，可以好好地將每一次的旅程記錄下來，然而，我正在努力試著做，並且和我的朋友一起分享，你們有些人又與朋友或學生將我旅程分享出去，所以現在我在寫作上變得比較小心(好可惜，我很喜歡胡說八道，哈哈哈)，我想說的是....不要太在意我的紀錄和寫作，只要跟我一起享受、欣賞就好。終究，我看這世界的眼睛，使得我遲早要接受，有天，我也會像沾滿晨露的枯葉，隨風飄落。I haven't enough time and energy to document my each journey .However,I am trying to do it as best as I can,and share them with my friends here.Some of you also share my journey with your students or friends,so now I am very careful in writting.But,I want to say...please do not make a serious fuzz on my posts,just enjoy them as I usually do.I see this world with my eyes :Eventually,I have to accept that I ,myself ,will be gone some day soon,like a weathered leave full of morning dews, floating down in breeze.

雅法門入口 The entrance of Jaffa Gate

不管怎樣我總得先找��地方住，耶路薩冷是很貴的，一條牙膏就快台幣198元，大馬士革門那邊的阿拉伯市集應該會比較便宜一點，可是我選住接近雅法門比較方便一點。No matter what goes,I need to settle down first,but Jerusalem is an expensive city.I spent NT$198 for a toothpast there ,and that really sucked.I chose to live near Jaffa Gate,though prices at the Arabic market that neared Damascus Gate was cheaper.

基督教青年會(YMCA)的協力機構-三拱門飯店，是我停留期間住的飯店，飯店本身就是受保護的古蹟，我選這裡是因為飯店有著古典氣質、良好的管理、優良的服務，還有最重要的是，比附近同業便宜的價格、地點也很理想去逛舊城區，用走的就可以，除此之外，飯店本身有一項好處，它的高塔可以鳥瞰整個耶路薩冷舊城。然而，我從一樓的櫃台得知，如果我要上去，要事先通知他們，因為幾年前有個女的跳樓死了(不會是鬧鬼吧?)，他們也怕我會跳下去..."什麼咚咚....!!!"，哈哈哈哈~

Hotel Three Arches is affilicated to YMCA.It itself is enlisted as a cultural asset needed to be protected. I chose here as my accommodaton during my stay,because it was classic,well-managed,nice service,and most importantly,it was less expensive compared to others nearby,and its location was very ideal for me to visit Old Town on foot. Addition to all that,its tower has an adventage to make panoramic view of Jerusalem. However,I had learnt from ground receptionists.They told me if I wanted to go up to the top,I needed to inform them first.Because there was a girl committed suicide few years ago(So...was it haunted ?).They were afraid that I might jump also...."What the F*** !!",hahahaha.

讓我回到主題大衛王和大衛塔。 "大衛"據我所知，依照聖經說法，並不是他的真名，好像是Elhanan才是，不管怎樣，他將��持他的以色列南方派系，和北方敵對派系統一的人(七年戰爭)，大衛王在歷史上是真有其人，事實上，他也殺了很多人，也犯過通姦，他並不完美，我想以現今的眼光看比較像政客一類，是一個掌握了"神聖約櫃"並以此獲得政治目的的領袖(也是"大衛王"有著"聖王"形象的關鍵，今天誰不需要?)，利用"上帝"之名行政治目的在歷史上沒甚麼特別的，宮殿就是大衛塔所在地，也是權力的生死競技場。

Let me back to King David and his tower. "David" as I know is not his real name,"Elhanan" might be according to Bibble.Anyway,he was the one who united Israeli tribes(his southern supporters,and northern opponents- 7 years War).King David is a real person in history,who also killed ,murdered many men,and he commited adultery.He was not perfect.I think he was a standard politician in today's eyes.A man who used Holy "Ark" as a tool to gain political purposes(That's why " King David" needed image of "Holy King",who wouldn't today?)...It is not unique and nothing at all,to see political leaders in history using "God" as a political weapon.His palace is where the Tower locates,where was the arena of going on "live or die" for power.

這個人大家很熟吧?對啦，他就是殺了歌利亞巨人後成名的大衛 ,米開朗基羅的名作，大衛像，沒錯，這件著名的雕像是根據年輕時的大衛(王)形象作的，當然，是虛構的創作，米開朗基羅描繪的是，年輕的大衛(未成王之前)在戰場上，挑戰非利士人戰士時的臉部表情。而我的大衛收藏是一件有大衛圖像的圍兜，在義大利街頭買的，一條好像5、6歐元。。

We all feel him acquainted.Yep ! He was the one who got famous after killing Goliath, the Giant.Michelangelo's masterpiece.Yes,this famous statue is based on young David's image.It's fictional,of course.Michelangelo depicted young David's facial expression,when he challenged enemy's worrier (Philistines)in battle field. And my collection for David is a piece of apron,hahaha.The apron I spent 6 Euros in Italy.

大衛王這個人很有音樂才能，也很懂政治，他利用"約櫃"的政治效力不餘遺力，當重新由非利士人手中奪回"約櫃"後，為了慶祝此事，還裸露上身在祭壇上跳舞，引來老婆的訕笑，他崇敬"約櫃"並將之極端神聖化，有搬櫃工人(烏撒)不小心碰觸到約櫃，當場就被活活打死，因此約櫃必需放在很好的地方才行，所以開始建設"聖殿"，就是今日的"聖殿山"，這些政治效應不但使得大衛王有神聖的約櫃罩他，也因聖殿山的建設，確立了耶路薩冷在歷史上"聖城"的地位。

King David had a musical talent,and knew politics very much.He used "Ark" to gain political benefit with all his power.At the time,when he regained Ark from the hands of Philistines(ancient Greeks alike).He danced half nude in front of alter where ark placed to celebrate the event,which was mocked by his wife.However,he kept consecrating the status of Ark to the extreme.So, a serviceman(Uzzah) accidently touched the Ark, as one of the bulls tripped (using bulls to pull cart when transporting Ark around).Then,Uzzah immediately was struck to die right at the spot.Thus,the Ark needed a safe place for storing.Then,he ordered to build "Holy Palace" for the Ark.The place is today's Mount Temple.This political order(building Mount Temple) not only secured his leadership,with the ark backed him,but also made Jerusalem secured the status as a "Holy City" in mankind history from that time on.

聖殿山，以後再介紹。Mount Temple,I’ll introduce it some other time.

再一張好了。

神聖約櫃(法櫃)，已經遺失，所以這是後人依想像複製的櫃。The ARK,lost,thus,this was created by imagination.

西元前587年因為戰爭(巴比倫入侵)就已經不見了，所以，沒人知道現在在哪裡，有人說落在以色列手中了,如果你走運找到約櫃，記得不要亂碰哦，不然會被神立刻處死滴。有兩位信天使守衛著約櫃，約櫃上蓋上面有翅膀的，並不是什麼鳥，好嗎?

It was lost at war(Babylon) in 587 B.C.E.So,no one knows where it is now.Some say,it is in the hands of Israel.Well.......

Oh,Do not touch the Ark,or you'll be killed by GOD instantly.Well~if you happen to find it. There are two angels guarding the Ark.They are not birds on the top of the Ark's top lid.

館內展示模型 The miniatures displayed at exhibition rooms.

今天的大衛塔是理想的音樂會、夜間秀、和博物館展示場。但是博物館不允許觀光客拍攝戶外夜間燈光秀，夜間秀在宮殿庭院傾頹的牆壁以投射動畫展出，如果有來，真的不要錯過。Today,it is an ideal place for music concerts,night shows,and museum exhibitions.But,it prohibits tourists taking photos or videos of the outdoor light show.The night show displays in the courtyard of Tower David,by projecting animation on the walls.Seeing the show at the very right site is a fantastic experience.If you come,don't miss it.

含在門票裡的傳單。The leaflet including in tickets.

其他角落 From other corners.

夜間燈光秀的現場The site to watch night light show is here.

唉~耶路薩冷的事是人類史上真正的傳奇。 Sign~, Ah......The stories of Jerusalem are real legends in human history.

有關大衛王，我想要畫個句點了。他的繼承人是所羅門王，所羅門王完成了他父親的野心，完成建造第一聖殿。 His successor is King Solomon,who finished his father's unfinished ambition,King David's Holy Temple(First Temple). About King David,I want to make a stop now.

遠景 Far view.

第一聖殿的完成並未使猶太人從此安居樂業，他們的近代史也非常令人難過，戰爭只有製造悲劇，如果以、巴能夠記取歷史教訓，可以和平相處、相愛，這才是大衛王立國該有的期盼。The completion of the First Temple didn’t make Jewishes live happily ever after.Their modern history makes me very sad,for wars only create tradegies,which providing a livid lesson for all humans to remember.If today’s Israel and Palestine could learn from the past,and started to live and love each other,it would be King David’s true expectation when he started the establishement of a nation.

【双语美文】Appointment with love 原创 2017-03-13 hanrenhanyu 汉人汉语

20. Appointment with love 20. 爱的约会 20. ài de yuē huì

Six minutes to six, said the clock over the information booth in New York’s Grand Central Station. The tall young Army lieutenant lifted his sunburned face and narrowed his eyes to note the exact time. His heart was pounding with a beat. In six minutes he would see the woman who had filled such a special place in his life for the past 13 month, the woman he had never seen, yet whose written words had sustained him unfailingly. 在纽约地铁中心总站，咨询处上方的时钟指向了5点54分。年轻高大的陆军中尉抬起黝黑的脸庞，眯着眼睛看上面的时间，一颗心激动得怦怦直跳，6分钟后，他就要见到那个女人了——在过去的13个月里一直占据着他心灵某个特殊位置的女人。虽然他们素未谋面，但她的信却一直是他的精神支柱。 zài niǔ yuē dì tiě zhōng xīn zǒng zhàn ，zī xún chù shàng fāng de shí zhōng zhǐ xiàng le 5diǎn 54fèn 。nián qīng gāo dà de lù jun1 zhōng wèi tái qǐ yǒu hēi de liǎn páng ，mī zhe yǎn jīng kàn shàng miàn de shí jiān ，yī kē xīn jī dòng dé pēng pēng zhí tiào ，6fèn zhōng hòu ，tā jiù yào jiàn dào nà gè nǚ rén le ——zài guò qù de 13gè yuè lǐ yī zhí zhàn jù zhe tā xīn líng mǒu gè tè shū wèi zhì de nǚ rén 。suī rán tā men sù wèi móu miàn ，dàn tā de xìn què yī zhí shì tā de jīng shén zhī zhù 。

Lieutenant Blandford remembered one day in particular, during the worst of the fighting, when his plane had been caught in the midst of a pack of enemy’s planes. In one of his letters he had confessed to her that he often felt fear, and only a few days before this battle he had received her answer: “Of course you fear…all brave men do. Next time you doubt yourself, I want you to hear my voice reciting to you: ‘yeah, though I walked through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will hear no evil: for thou art with me.’…” He had remembered, and it had renewed his strength. 布兰福德中尉记得那天，战斗艰苦的时刻，他的飞机被敌机重重包围。他曾在一封信里对她坦言，他常会感到畏惧。就在战斗打响的前几天，他收到了她的回信：“你当然会畏惧……勇士们都会那样，下次你在不自信时，我希望你能听到我为你朗诵的声音：‘啊，是的，尽管我要走过死亡之谷，但我将勇往直前，因为你与我同在。’”他记得，正是那封信使他重新振作。 bù lán fú dé zhōng wèi jì dé nà tiān ，zhàn dòu jiān kǔ de shí kè ，tā de fēi jī bèi dí jī zhòng zhòng bāo wéi 。tā céng zài yī fēng xìn lǐ duì tā tǎn yán ，tā cháng huì gǎn dào wèi jù 。jiù zài zhàn dòu dǎ xiǎng de qián jǐ tiān ，tā shōu dào le tā de huí xìn ：“nǐ dāng rán huì wèi jù ……yǒng shì men dōu huì nà yàng ，xià cì nǐ zài bú zì xìn shí ，wǒ xī wàng nǐ néng tīng dào wǒ wéi nǐ lǎng sòng de shēng yīn ：‘ā ，shì de ，jìn guǎn wǒ yào zǒu guò sǐ wáng zhī gǔ ，dàn wǒ jiāng yǒng wǎng zhí qián ，yīn wéi nǐ yǔ wǒ tóng zài 。’”tā jì dé ，zhèng shì nà fēng xìn shǐ tā zhòng xīn zhèn zuò 。

Now he was going to hear her real voice. Four minutes to six. 此时，他就要听到她真实的声音了，还有4分钟就6点了。 cǐ shí ，tā jiù yào tīng dào tā zhēn shí de shēng yīn le ，hái yǒu 4fèn zhōng jiù 6diǎn le 。

A girl passed close to him, and Lieutenant Blandford started. She was wearing a flower, but it was not the little red rose they had agreed upon. Besides, this girl was only about 18, and Hollis Meynell had told him she was 30. “What of it?” he had answered. “I’m 32.” He was 29. 一个女孩走近他，布兰福德中尉一惊。她戴着一朵花，但不是他们约好的那种红玫瑰。这个女孩只有18岁左右，而霍丽丝.梅内尔告诉过他，她已30岁。“有什么关系呢？”他还回信说，“我32岁”，其实他只有29岁 yī gè nǚ hái zǒu jìn tā ，bù lán fú dé zhōng wèi yī jīng 。tā dài zhe yī duǒ huā ，dàn bú shì tā men yuē hǎo de nà zhǒng hóng méi guī 。zhè gè nǚ hái zhī yǒu 18suì zuǒ yòu ，ér huò lì sī .méi nèi ěr gào sù guò tā ，tā yǐ 30suì 。“yǒu shí me guān xì ne ？”tā hái huí xìn shuō ，“wǒ 32suì ”，qí shí tā zhī yǒu 29suì

His mind went back to that book he had read in the training camp. Of Human Bondage it was; and throughout the book were notes in a woman’s handwriting. He had never believed that a woman could see into a man’s heart so tenderly, so understandingly. Her name was on the book plate: Hollis Meynell. He had got hold a New York City telephone book and found her address. He had written; she had answered. Next day he had been shipped out, but they had gone on writing. 他又想到了在训练营时看过的一本书——《人性的枷锁》，书里有一个女人的批注。他难以相信，一个女人竟能如此透彻地读懂男人的心，书签上有她的名字：霍丽丝.梅内尔。于是他找来一本纽约市电话簿，查到了地址，给她写信，并收到了回信。因为执行任务，第二天他就坐船离开了，但他们仍保持通信。 tā yòu xiǎng dào le zài xùn liàn yíng shí kàn guò de yī běn shū ——《rén xìng de jiā suǒ 》，shū lǐ yǒu yī gè nǚ rén de pī zhù 。tā nán yǐ xiàng xìn ，yī gè nǚ rén jìng néng rú cǐ tòu chè dì dú dǒng nán rén de xīn ，shū qiān shàng yǒu tā de míng zì ：huò lì sī .méi nèi ěr 。yú shì tā zhǎo lái yī běn niǔ yuē shì diàn huà bù ，chá dào le dì zhǐ ，gěi tā xiě xìn ，bìng shōu dào le huí xìn 。yīn wéi zhí háng rèn wù ，dì èr tiān tā jiù zuò chuán lí kāi le ，dàn tā men réng bǎo chí tōng xìn 。

For 13 months she had faithfully replied. When his letters did not arrive, she wrote anyway, and now he believed that he loved her and that she loved him. 13个月里，她始终诚挚地给他回信，通常是他的信还未到，她的信就来了。因此，他深信，他们彼此深爱着。 13gè yuè lǐ ，tā shǐ zhōng chéng zhì dì gěi tā huí xìn ，tōng cháng shì tā de xìn hái wèi dào ，tā de xìn jiù lái le 。yīn cǐ ，tā shēn xìn ，tā men bǐ cǐ shēn ài zhe 。

But she had refused all his pleas to send him her photograph. She had explained:” If you’re feeling for me has any reality, what I look like won’t matter. Suppose I’m beautiful. I’d always been haunted by the feeling that you had been taking a chance on just that, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I’m plain ( and you must admit that this is more likely), then I’d always fear that you were only going on writing because you were lonely and had no one else. No, don’t ask for my picture. When you come to New York, you shall see me and then you shall make your decision.” 然而，她拒绝送他照片，并解释说：“如果你是真心对我，我的外表并不重要。如果我长得很漂亮，我会认为，你是爱我的外表，那样会另我很反感。如果我长相平凡（你必须承认这个更有可能），就会担心，你和��通信，是因为内心孤独，无人倾诉。别向我要照片。你来纽约时就可以看到我了，可以在那时做出某些决定。” rán ér ，tā jù jué sòng tā zhào piàn ，bìng jiě shì shuō ：“rú guǒ nǐ shì zhēn xīn duì wǒ ，wǒ de wài biǎo bìng bú zhòng yào 。rú guǒ wǒ zhǎng dé hěn piāo liàng ，wǒ huì rèn wéi ，nǐ shì ài wǒ de wài biǎo ，nà yàng huì lìng wǒ hěn fǎn gǎn 。rú guǒ wǒ zhǎng xiàng píng fán （nǐ bì xū chéng rèn zhè gè gèng yǒu kě néng ），jiù huì dān xīn ，nǐ hé wǒ tōng xìn ，shì yīn wéi nèi xīn gū dú ，wú rén qīng sù 。bié xiàng wǒ yào zhào piàn 。nǐ lái niǔ yuē shí jiù kě yǐ kàn dào wǒ le ，kě yǐ zài nà shí zuò chū mǒu xiē jué dìng 。”

One minute to six…he put hard on a cigarette. Then Lieutenant Blandford’s heart leaped. 还有1分钟就6点了……布兰福德猛抽了一口烟，心跳更加快了。 hái yǒu 1fèn zhōng jiù 6diǎn le ……bù lán fú dé měng chōu le yī kǒu yān ，xīn tiào gèng jiā kuài le 。

A young woman was coming towards him. Her figure was long and slim; her blond hair lay back in curls over her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue as flowers, her lips and chin had a gentle firmness. In her pale-green suit, she was like springtime come alive. 一位年轻的女士向他走来，她身材苗条，金黄的卷发拢在小巧的耳后，双唇红润，下巴精致，眼睛深蓝动人。她穿着淡绿色的西装，浑身散发着青春的活力。 yī wèi nián qīng de nǚ shì xiàng tā zǒu lái ，tā shēn cái miáo tiáo ，jīn huáng de juàn fā lǒng zài xiǎo qiǎo de ěr hòu ，shuāng chún hóng rùn ，xià bā jīng zhì ，yǎn jīng shēn lán dòng rén 。tā chuān zhe dàn lǜ sè de xī zhuāng ，hún shēn sàn fā zhe qīng chūn de huó lì 。

He started toward her, forgetting to notice that she was wearing no rose, and as he moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. 他开始向她走去，根本没注意她是否戴着玫瑰花，他走近，看到她的嘴角浮起动人的微笑。 tā kāi shǐ xiàng tā zǒu qù ，gēn běn méi zhù yì tā shì fǒu dài zhe méi guī huā ，tā zǒu jìn ，kàn dào tā de zuǐ jiǎo fú qǐ dòng rén de wēi xiào 。

“Going my way, soldier?” she murmured. He made one step closer to her. Then he saw Hollis Meynell. “问路吗，军人？”她轻轻地说。他又走近一步，接着，他看到了霍丽丝.梅内尔 “wèn lù ma ，jun1 rén ？”tā qīng qīng dì shuō 。tā yòu zǒu jìn yī bù ，jiē zhe ，tā kàn dào le huò lì sī .méi nèi ěr

She was standing almost directly behind the girl, a woman well past 40, her graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump; her thick ankled feet were thrust into low-heeled shoes. 霍丽丝?梅内尔就站在这姑娘身后，一个40多岁的女人，灰白的头发塞在破旧的帽子下面，很胖，厚实的双脚穿着低跟鞋。 huò lì sī ?méi nèi ěr jiù zhàn zài zhè gū niáng shēn hòu ，yī gè 40duō suì de nǚ rén ，huī bái de tóu fā sāi zài pò jiù de mào zǐ xià miàn ，hěn pàng ，hòu shí de shuāng jiǎo chuān zhe dī gēn xié 。

But she wore a red rose on her rumpled coat. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly. Blandford felt as though he were being split into two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl, yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and upheld his own; and there she stood. He could see her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible; her grey eyes had a warm twinkle. 可是她那皱巴巴的外衣上别着一朵红玫瑰。绿衣女孩匆匆离去。布兰福德心碎了，他多想跟着那女孩啊，然而他又真切地渴望见这个女人，是她的精神一直陪伴他，激励他。她就站在那里，苍白丰满的面庞，温柔而理性，灰色的眼睛里闪着温和的光芒。 kě shì tā nà zhòu bā bā de wài yī shàng bié zhe yī duǒ hóng méi guī 。lǜ yī nǚ hái cōng cōng lí qù 。bù lán fú dé xīn suì le ，tā duō xiǎng gēn zhe nà nǚ hái ā ，rán ér tā yòu zhēn qiē dì kě wàng jiàn zhè gè nǚ rén ，shì tā de jīng shén yī zhí péi bàn tā ，jī lì tā 。tā jiù zhàn zài nà lǐ ，cāng bái fēng mǎn de miàn páng ，wēn róu ér lǐ xìng ，huī sè de yǎn jīng lǐ shǎn zhe wēn hé de guāng máng 。

Lieutenant Blandford did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the worn copy of Human Bondage which was to identify him to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, a friendship that he had been and must ever be grateful… 布兰福德没有犹豫，他紧抓着那本破旧的《人性的枷锁》，它是向她证明身份的依据。尽管这不会是爱情，但是一种珍贵的东西，是他曾经拥有并要感激的友情…… bù lán fú dé méi yǒu yóu yù ，tā jǐn zhuā zhe nà běn pò jiù de 《rén xìng de jiā suǒ 》，tā shì xiàng tā zhèng míng shēn fèn de yī jù 。jìn guǎn zhè bú huì shì ài qíng ，dàn shì yī zhǒng zhēn guì de dōng xī ，shì tā céng jīng yōng yǒu bìng yào gǎn jī de yǒu qíng ……

He squared his shoulders, saluted, and held the book out toward the woman, although even well while he spoke he fell the bitterness of disappointment. “I’m John Blandford, and you---you are Miss Meynell. May---may I take you to dinner?” 尽管因深深的失望而感到痛苦，布兰福德仍摆正双肩，敬了个礼，然后把书递给那个女人：“我是约翰?布兰福德，您——您是梅内尔女士吧，我可以——可以请您吃饭吗？” jìn guǎn yīn shēn shēn de shī wàng ér gǎn dào tòng kǔ ，bù lán fú dé réng bǎi zhèng shuāng jiān ，jìng le gè lǐ ，rán hòu bǎ shū dì gěi nà gè nǚ rén ：“wǒ shì yuē hàn ?bù lán fú dé ，nín ——nín shì méi nèi ěr nǚ shì ba ，wǒ kě yǐ ——kě yǐ qǐng nín chī fàn ma ？”

The woman smiled. “I don’t know what this is all about, son,” she answered. “That young lady in the green suit, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said that if you ask me to go out with you, I should tell you that she’s waiting for you in that restraint across the street. She said it was some kind of test.” 女人微笑着。“孩子，我不明白这是怎么回事，”她说道，“那位穿绿衣服的年轻小姐请求我戴上这朵玫瑰，她说如果你请我一块出去，就告诉你，她在对面的餐厅等你。她说这是一种考验。” nǚ rén wēi xiào zhe 。“hái zǐ ，wǒ bú míng bái zhè shì zěn me huí shì ，”tā shuō dào ，“nà wèi chuān lǜ yī fú de nián qīng xiǎo jiě qǐng qiú wǒ dài shàng zhè duǒ méi guī ，tā shuō rú guǒ nǐ qǐng wǒ yī kuài chū qù ，jiù gào sù nǐ ，tā zài duì miàn de cān tīng děng nǐ 。tā shuō zhè shì yī zhǒng kǎo yàn 。”
