【原文】
さしたる事なくて人のがり行くは、よからぬ事なり。用ありて行きたりとも、その事果てなば、疾く帰るべし。久しく居たる、いとむつかし。
人と向ひたれば、詞多く、身もくたびれ、心も閑かならず、万の事障りて時を移す、互のため益なし。厭しげに言はんもわろし。心づきなき事あらん折は、なかなか、その由をも言ひてん。同じ心に向はまほしく思はん人の、つれづれにて、「今暫し。今日は心閑かに」など言はんは、この限りにはあらざるべし。阮籍が青き眼、誰れにもあるべきことなり。
そのこととなきに、人の来たりて、のどかに物語して帰りぬる、いとよし。また、文も、「久しく聞えさせねば」などばかり言ひおこせたる、いとうれし。
【現代語訳】
たいした用事もなく人の所へ行くのはよくない。用事があったとしても長居は禁物だ。とっとと帰ろう。ずるずる居るのは鬱陶しい。
人が対面すれば自然と会話が多くなり疲れる。落ち着かないまま、全てを後回しにして、互いに無駄な時間を過ごす羽目になる。内心「早く帰れ」と思いながら客に接するのも良くない。嫌なら嫌と、はっきり言えばいいのである。いつまでも向かい合っていたい心の友が、何となく、「しばらく、今日はゆっくりしよう」と言うのは、この限りではない。阮籍が、気に食わない客を三白眼で睨み、嬉しい客を青い目で見つめたと言う話も、もっともなことだ。
特に用事が無い人が来て、何となく話して帰るのは、とても良い。手紙でも、「長いことご無沙汰しておりました」とだけ書いてあれば、それで喜ばしい。

◆鎌倉末期の随筆。吉田兼好著。上下2巻，244段からなる。1317年(文保1)から1331年(元弘1)の間に成立したか。その間，幾つかのまとまった段が少しずつ執筆され，それが編集されて現在見るような形態になったと考えられる。それらを通じて一貫した筋はなく，連歌的ともいうべき配列方法がとられている。形式は《枕草子》を模倣しているが，内容は，作者の見聞談，感想，実用知識，有職の心得など多彩であり，仏教の厭世思想を根底にもち，人生論的色彩を濃くしている。

 | 語源でわかった! 英単語記憶術 (文春新書) 山並 陞一 文藝春秋 |
【内容（「BOOK」データベースより）】
日本人は、聴く英語となると、なぜうまくゆかないのか。また、英単語を丸暗記しても、なぜすぐに忘れてしまうのか。どうすれば、この問題を乗りこえることができるのか。これが本書の主題である。著者の提案はただ一つ、「語源にもどれ」である。しかも、たった一〇〇語程度の語源を覚えれば、日常的に必要な英単語のほぼ八割を系統的に把握できる。そして、覚えた英単語の語源が耳に響くようになれば、「聴く英語」まであと一歩だ。さあ、「山並メソッド」で、もう一度、やさしい英語にトライしてみましょう。

【読んだ理由】
当然、英単語記憶に苦悶しているから。
【最も印象に残った一行】
こうして、kapから、「頭」を示唆する cap captain cape escape chief cabbage といった英語が生まれ、「つかむ」という意味には、have able habit heavy keep capture prince principle anticipate occupy receive receipt conceive concept acceptなど。そして「捕まえた家畜」からはcapital cattleなどがうまれた。
【コメント】
著者によれば、またあらたに百程度の語源を覚えなさいということだが、現在飽和状態の頭にはかなりの重荷であるね。本書は縦書きであるが、英語が縦書きになっているので読みにくいこと限りなし。こんな配慮もできないのかも情けない。文春さんよ。また読みながら途中に思ったが、私は日本語の語源の知識は皆無だが、日本語は話せている。ということは、別に語源を知らなくてもね・・・・。
