卓球のWTTファイナルは見ごたえのある試合がいっぱいありましたね。特に女子、特にダブルスは決勝で日本人同士、素晴らしい試合でした。それに比べ、私の好きなラグビーの試合ですが、恒例の早慶戦、早稲田の一方的な試合で、慶応は一つもトライを取れず残念な試合でした。私自身も昨日東京都のシニアマラソン、たったの5kmですが、に2年ぶりに参加して走りました。残念ながら30分を３１秒超えました。昨年は膝の怪我で走れなかったのですが、又走れるようになっただけで良しとしましょう。
さて、Eugen Herrigelの "Zen in the Art of Archery" を読んでいます。
More than five years went by, and then the Master proposed that we pass a test. "It is not just a question of demonstrating your skill," he explained, "An even higher value is set on the spiritual deportment of the archer, down to his minutest gesture. I expect you above all not to let yourself be confused by the presence of spectators, but to go through the ceremony quite unperturbed, as though we were by ourselves."
"deportment" は見覚えがあります。多分辞書で意味を調べたことがある単語ですが、思い出せませんし、このブログでも取り上げていません。辞書を見ます。
・Oxford English Dictionary: (British English) the way in which a person stands and moves: lessons in deportment and etiquette; He has good deportment.
・Collins Dictionary: Your deportment is the way you behave, especially the way you walk and move.: [formal] She taught deportment classes and ran a course in walking the catwalk.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: the way a person behaves: Throughout the ordeal of her husband's funeral, Mrs Kennedy was a model of deportment (= behaved in a controlled and calm way).
