#83 三島由紀夫『若きサムライのために』
数カ月外国へ行ってきただけで、人格が一変してしまう人もかなり多い。それも当然で、いくら映画やテレビで見馴れた景色でも、実際に見たショックは大きいのである。
Vocabulary:
三島由紀夫 みしまゆきお Mishima Yukio (author, 1925-1970)
人格 じんかく personality
一変する いっぺんする to change completely
見馴れた みなれた familiar
景色 けしき scenery
実際 じっさい actually
Translation:
There are quite a lot of people whose personality completely changes after having been abroad for just a few months. No wonder, because no matter how familiar you are with the scenery through movies or television, the shock when you actually see it is significant.
Amazon.jp link for the book I used:
Maybe it's because I am used to the Aozora Bunka's policy that books must be 50+ years old, it is kind of surprising to see something that modern, with references to TV ^^"
