出版目指して、翻訳（自作和文の英訳）もあれこれやっていますが、例によって、google先生とBing先生のアシストをいただきながらの作業になっています。
そんななか、ひさしぶりに、ブログで公開モドキな翻訳の自学をやってみたくなりました。
（モドキというのは読者がほぼ自分だからなのですが…笑;）あえて、いまの翻訳技量を“晒す／晒してしまう^^;”場を作ることで、作業にもリキがはいるかなと思い、やってみることにしました。
ほんと久しぶりの試みだな。あ、そういえば、以前のトライはブログではなくHPでしたね。ま、それはどうでもいいことですが、それでは、まずは、先生方の瞬訳にして美訳を掲載させていただいて、それぞれを参考にしながら、自分自身の翻訳を完成させてゆこうと思います。
なお、期限は設けいていないので、愉しみながら＾＾b

「陰謀論について」 （引き続き暫定稿）
－『日暮景稚言集』のK132（2009.4.15）に冒頭の一文を添加 －
まずは、悪魔の試弾からはいらねばならない。
悪魔は遥かな古代から連綿と活き続けている。このことはこの惑星「地球」なる地上世界の常識のひとつである。その正体も含めて、今ではだれもがその事実を識っている。
その超一流の狡智、冷血、支配欲、自尊心、復讐心、交渉力、陰謀力、目的達成能力には戦慄以上のものを感じる。人間存在の本性の一部である「悪」のみを 抽出し凝縮し精練した生物学的存在がそこにはいる。一般には「悪魔の代理人」と呼ばれる実在物である。１８世紀から現在にかけては、赤い盾の一族がその中 心的役割を担っている。
悪魔はもとより彼ら自身でもあるが、彼らの座る台座こそ存在の本質をなしている。地上の３次元的人間存在に内包する‘悪’……その台座にはつねに何者かが座っている。そしてその台座に座る者は、人間同士の戦争をこよなく愛している。
ところで前述した陰謀力とは、たえず陰謀を遂行する類いまれな能力をいう。
ちなみに陰謀とは、その名のとおり謀（はかりごと）そのものであるから、それを企画する関係者以外には知られないよう慎重に取り扱われる。それゆえ、慎 重に秘匿された企てを指弾する目的で論じられるいわゆる陰謀論は、状況証拠や巷の噂や都合のよい情報の選択等によって練り上げらたものとなる。したがっ て、そのアプローチは証拠能力に乏しく挙証性が低いことから、妄想にすぎないとして片づけられる運命にある。
あえて繰り返すが、これは当然のことであって、アプローチすべき対象はもともと秘密裏に、事が漏れないよう慎重に取り扱われているから、部外者にとって は情報収集が困難なうえに、かりに証拠を得られたとしてもせいぜい断片的なものにとどまる。したがって、それらを繋ぎあわせるものとして「推理」と「想像 力」が必要となるが、結局のところその試みは「謀略」の存在を推論する展開とならざるをえない。そこで、探られ嫌疑をかけられる側としては、いつものよう にであるが、待ってましたとばかりにその脆弱性を衝くのである。
これが、いわゆる「陰謀論」として嘲笑とともに一蹴されている論説に共通する事情である。では、「陰謀論者」と嘲弄される者たちは、なぜそのような脆弱 な突っ込みをあえてするのだろうか。彼は退屈な日常生活から逃れたくて、怪しげな推論の世界を心躍るゲームにみたてて淡い興奮を得ているのだろうか。それ とも彼は、突っ込まれる者たち（したがって謀略を否定する者たち）がよく言うところの「精神病質」な者たちだろうか。
もし後者なら、彼ら「陰謀論者」と揶揄される者たちはなんという病名の患者たちなのだろう。彼らの一人ひとりに対して個別具体の専門的診断をくだすこと をしないのであれば、彼ら陰謀論者を精神病と関係づけようとする者たちも、これまた根拠の乏しい（精神病とりわけ統合失調症がなんであるかも知らないゆえ の）無責任な想像の産物であると言わざるをえないだろう。そしてその言いっぱなしの背景にあるものは、彼ら陰謀論者を社会的に無力化し、気楽に発言できる 環境から追い払うための都合のよいレッテル貼りであるとも言えよう。
では、陰謀論者はなぜしつこく「真相」を追い求め食い下がろうとするのか。その執拗さに対して、突っ込まれている側は、なぜ疑惑を放置したままでいるの か。じつは彼らがしつこく食い下がる理由は、「謀略」と信じているそれら一連の問題事案が、ＴＶの向こうのどこか遠くの国で起こっている、お茶の間で観賞 するだけの「不幸」や「不安」などではなく、その出来事が自分自身や愛する者たちにも直接関わっていることに鋭く気づいているからである。だから真相を究 明しようとして、陰謀論のレッテルを貼られることろまであえて踏みこんでゆくのである。
だが彼らは本来的に、動かぬ証拠をつかめる立場や環境には置かれていないから、せいぜいのところ声高に警告を発するだけに留まってしまう。そしてその範 囲に留まっていれば、放置され無視される。だが、ひとたび確たる証拠をつかんで発表しようものなら、「狂人」として即座に身柄を確保されたのち、強制的に 精神鑑定を行なう施設に収監され、その後間もなく自殺または不審死としてこの４次元時空間から退出させられるだろう。言い換えれば、ロゴスが肉体をまとい 睡眠の補充により意識体として４次元時空間で活動できる状態を、物理的に消去されるだろう。謀略を秘密裏に遂行するうえで都合の悪い存在は、それが人物で あれ事柄であれすみやかに消去するのが、陰謀の世界の原則のひとつである。なぜなら、その消去も陰謀の範疇だからである。
逆に言えば、生存の中途で４次元時空間の存在を消去されるという憂き目に遇わずに、陰謀論を声高に叫び続けている一部の奇特な人たちは、それがヤブ睨み であれ確信犯であれ、的外れなことを言うことで真実から人びとの目線を逸らさせる役目を果たしていると言えよう。いずれにせよ、惑星「地球」の重力によっ て地上を這いつくばって生きざるをえない人間存在（３～５次元の多次元連続体すなわち人存）にとって、今のこの世界を世界たらしめている「真実」は、けっ きょくのところ日々の生活における「気づき」の集積によってしか見いだすことができない。
陰謀論はこのように、対象が本来的に有する秘匿性ゆえに暴露的情動性を内包した一種独特の論述世界を起ち上げるが、さらにそこには暴露性に起因する落命 の恐怖と向きあう緊張が胚胎していることから、情況によっては論者における自己犠牲的ヒーロー性までをも惹起する。文芸的アプローチを旨とする章曲として は、その「人間くさい」領域に対して熱い眼尖を注がずにはおれない。

"About conspiracy theories" (still tentative)
- Added the opening sentence to K132 (April 15, 2009) of "Higurashige Wakagenshu" -
First of all, we must start with the devil's test shot. The devil has been alive since ancient times.
This is common knowledge in this terrestrial world called planet Earth. Everyone knows this fact, including its true identity. Its top-notch cunning, cold-bloodedness, desire for control, self-esteem, desire for revenge, negotiation skills, conspiracy skills, and ability to achieve goals are more than just terrifying. There is a biological existence there that extracts, condenses, and refines only the "evil" that is part of the true nature of human existence. It is an entity generally called the "Devil's Agent." From the 18th century to the present, the Red Shield Clan has played a central role. The devil is of course themselves, but the pedestal on which they sit is the essence of their existence. The "evil" contained within three-dimensional human existence on earth...someone is always sitting on that pedestal. And the person who sits on that pedestal loves war between humans more than anything else.
The conspiracy power mentioned above refers to the rare ability to constantly carry out conspiracies. Incidentally, conspiracies are, as the name suggests, plans themselves, so they are handled carefully so that they are not known by anyone other than those involved in planning them. Therefore, so-called conspiracy theories, which are discussed with the aim of criticizing carefully concealed plans, are elaborated based on circumstantial evidence, rumors, and convenient selection of information. Therefore, this approach is destined to be dismissed as nothing more than a delusion, as it lacks evidentiary value and is poorly substantiated. I dare to repeat that this is only natural, as the targets to be approached are originally kept secret and handled carefully to prevent leaks, making it difficult for outsiders to gather information, and even if evidence is obtained, it will be fragmentary at best. Therefore, reasoning and imagination are needed to connect the dots, but in the end, the attempt inevitably leads to the inference of the existence of a conspiracy. And so, as always, the party being investigated and suspected is ready to strike a weak spot.
This is a common circumstance in the theories that are dismissed with ridicule as so-called "conspiracy theories." So why do those who are mocked as "conspiracy theorists" dare to make such a weak attack? Is he trying to escape from his boring daily life, and does he get a slight thrill from seeing the world of dubious reasoning as an exciting game? Or is he, as those who are criticized (and therefore those who deny the existence of conspiracies) often say, a "psychopath"? If it is the latter, what kind of disease must those who are mocked as "conspiracy theorists" be suffering from? If we do not give each of them a specific, professional diagnosis, we must say that those who try to link these conspiracy theorists to mental illness are also figuring out irresponsibly, with little evidence (because they do not even know what mental illness, especially schizophrenia, is). And it can be said that the reason behind this is a convenient labeling to socially incapacitate these conspiracy theorists and drive them away from environments where they can speak freely.
So why do conspiracy theorists persist in their pursuit of the "truth"? Why do those who are being questioned about their persistence leave their doubts unsolved? In fact, the reason they persist is because they are acutely aware that the series of problematic events that they believe to be "conspiracies" are not just "misfortunes" or "anxieties" that are happening in some faraway country on the other side of the TV screen, but that these events directly affect themselves and their loved ones. That is why, in their quest to uncover the truth, they go so far as to be labeled as conspiracy theorists.
However, since they are not in a position or environment to obtain irrefutable evidence, at best they can only issue loud warnings. If they remain within that scope, they are left alone and ignored. However, if they obtain solid evidence and announce it, they will be immediately arrested as a "madman," forcibly imprisoned in a facility for psychiatric evaluation, and soon thereafter removed from this fourth-dimensional space-time as a suicide or suspicious death. In other words, the state in which the Logos can take on a physical body and act as a conscious being in the fourth-dimensional space-time by replenishing sleep will be physically eliminated. One of the principles of the world of conspiracies is to quickly eliminate any beings, whether they be people or things, that are inconvenient for secretly carrying out a conspiracy. This is because elimination is also within the scope of conspiracy.
On the other hand, some eccentric people who continue to loudly proclaim conspiracy theories, without suffering the misfortune of having their existence in four-dimensional space-time erased in the middle of their lives, can be said to be playing a role in diverting people's attention from the truth by saying irrelevant things, whether they are doing it out of curiosity or knowingly. In any case, for human beings (a multidimensional continuum of three to five dimensions, that is, human existence) who are forced to live by crawling on the ground due to the gravity of the planet "Earth," the "truth" that makes this world what it is today can only be found through the accumulation of "awareness" in daily life. In this way, conspiracy theories create a unique world of discussion that contains an emotionality of exposure due to the inherent secrecy of the subject, but furthermore, because it contains the tension of facing the fear of losing one's life due to exposure, it can even evoke a self-sacrificing heroism in the theorist depending on the situation. As a piece that aims for a literary approach, one cannot help but take a keen eye toward this "human" realm.

"About Conspiracy Theories" (Continuing the provisional draft)
- Adding the opening sentence to K132 of 'Higurashi Kei's Collection of Witty Sayings' (April 15, 2009) -
First, we must start with the devil's trial.The devil has persisted since ancient times.
This is one of the common senses of this planet called "Earth". Including its true identity, everyone now knows this fact. I feel more than just fear in its superlative cunning, cold-bloodedness, desire for domination, self-esteem, desire for revenge, negotiation skills, conspiratorial abilities, and capacity to achieve goals. There exists a biological entity that distills, condenses, and refines only the "evil" that is part of the human condition. This is a tangible entity commonly referred to as "the devil's agent". From the 18th century to the present, the clan of the Red Shield has played a central role in this. The devil is, in fact, they themselves, but the pedestal on which they sit is what constitutes the essence of existence. The 'evil' contained within the three-dimensional human existence on this earth… there is always someone seated on that pedestal. And the one seated on that pedestal loves war between humans exceedingly.
By the way, the aforementioned conspiracy power refers to the rare ability to constantly carry out conspiracies. By the way, a conspiracy is, as the name suggests, a scheme that is carefully handled so that it is not known to anyone other than those involved in planning it. Therefore, the so-called conspiracy theories, which are discussed with the purpose of denouncing the carefully hidden schemes, are concocted based on circumstantial evidence, rumors in the community, and the selection of convenient information. Thus, due to their poor evidentiary power and low degree of proof, they are destined to be dismissed as mere delusions. Let me repeat, this is of course the case, as the subjects to be approached are originally handled with caution in order to ensure secrecy, making it difficult for outsiders to gather information. Even if evidence can be obtained, it will at best be fragmentary. Therefore, in order to piece these together, 'reasoning' and 'imagination' become necessary, but ultimately, such attempts must lead to a development that infers the existence of 'machinations.' In this context, as is often the case, the parties under suspicion then eagerly exploit this vulnerability.
This is a common situation shared by those arguments that are dismissed with ridicule as so-called "conspiracy theories." So why do those who are derided as "conspiracy theorists" deliberately engage in such weak rebuttals? Is it because they want to escape their boring daily lives and seek a faint excitement by framing the world of dubious reasoning as an exhilarating game? Or are they, as those who deny conspiracies often say, individuals with a "psychopathic" disposition? If it is the latter, what kind of diagnosis do we assign to those who are derided as "conspiracy theorists"? If one does not provide individual, specific professional diagnoses for each of them, then those who try to associate these conspiracy theorists with mental illness must also be considered to be products of irresponsible imagination, lacking any substantial evidence (and especially ignorance about what mental illness and schizophrenia actually are). Furthermore, it could be said that the underlying motivation for such unfounded assertions is a convenient labeling meant to socially incapacitate these conspiracy theorists and drive them out of an environment where they can speak freely.
So, why do conspiracy theorists persistently pursue the 'truth' and dig deeper? In response to their tenacity, why do those being questioned leave the suspicions unaddressed? The reason they insistently press on is that they are acutely aware that the series of issues they believe to be 'conspiracies' are not mere 'misfortunes' or 'anxieties' happening in some distant country on the other side of the TV screen, but rather that these events directly implicate themselves and their loved ones. This realization drives them to seek the truth, even if it means being labeled as conspiracy theorists.
However, they are inherently not in a position or environment to grasp irrefutable evidence, so at best they remain at just warning loudly. If they stay within that range, they will be ignored and left alone. However, if they were to seize and announce solid evidence, they would immediately be detained as "madmen," forcibly committed to a facility for psychiatric evaluation, and shortly thereafter, they would exit this four-dimensional space-time either by suicide or under suspicious circumstances. In other words, the Logos, which is able to operate as a conscious entity in four-dimensional space-time thanks to the replenishment of sleep by embodying itself, would be physically erased. One principle of the world of conspiracy is that any existence deemed inconvenient for carrying out schemes secretly—be it a person or a matter—should be quickly erased, because that erasure falls under the scope of conspiracy.
Conversely, one could say that those peculiar individuals who continue to loudly shout conspiracy theories without having to face the grim reality of being erased from the four-dimensional spacetime during their existence, whether they are genuine believers or not, play a role in diverting people's eyes from the truth by saying things that are off the mark. In any case, for human beings who are forced to crawl on the ground due to the gravity of the planet 'Earth' (the multidimensional continuum of 3 to 5 dimensions, that is the existence of humans), the 'truth' that makes up this world can ultimately only be found through the accumulation of 'awareness' in daily life. Conspiracy theories thus establish a uniquely provocative narrative world due to the inherent secrecy of their subjects, and additionally, there lies a tension stemming from the fear of death associated with this exposure. This may even evoke a self-sacrificial heroism in the theorists, depending on the circumstances. In terms of a literary approach, one cannot help but cast a passionate eye toward this 'human-like' domain.
