◎Extra Example

　Sugibuchi had arrived at the guesthouse at 4:30 that morning, his standard departure time for picking takenoko. He had close-cropped, wavy black hair, rectangular black-rimmed glasses, and a trim frame clad in a pair of those blue coveralls that in Japan signal one’s intent to do serious work. He was very polite, but not at all cold. As soon as I met him, I detected a kind of vulnerability or openness immediately below the surface. Oriyama, too, was friendly and helpful, but his shell of manly confidence was quite a bit thicker; he lectured more than conversed.

　杉渕はさんはいつもタケノコ採取に出かける朝4時半に織山さんのゲストハウス「ORIYAMAKE(オリヤマケ)」に到着した。ウェーブのかかった黒髪は短く刈られ、四角い黒縁の眼鏡をかけて、日本では真剣に労働に取り込もうとする意志を感じさせるつなぎ服を細身の体に着こんでいた。
