お散歩の道で
Otsu tragedy one more reminder of the vulnerability of pedestrians
[中文譯文]
在托兒所的散步路上崔泵，有個漂亮的花壇秒赤。仔細(xì)盯著花壇看了半天的小麗，突然問老師：“老師憎瘸，這花兒的顏色入篮，是誰涂上去的呢？”幌甘，“誰涂的顏色潮售？？”老師一臉黑線锅风。小麗接著說“等我長大了酥诽，我想當(dāng)那個給花兒涂色的人≈宀海”
這是托兒所的丁老師記下的故事肮帐。花兒實在是太美了，孩子們的腦海中“一定是有誰給他們涂了顏色”“原來還有給花兒涂顏色這樣的工作呀”這樣任想象自由飛翔了训枢。對于托兒所的孩子們來說托修，所謂散步，就是和充滿不可思議的這個世界邂逅的機會恒界。
用力握著旁邊孩子的手睦刃，緊緊跟在老師的后面。一邊熱熱鬧鬧地聊著天十酣。發(fā)生在大津市的慘痛事件眯勾，大多數(shù)有在家附近散步經(jīng)歷的人都會想起來的吧。
看著事故現(xiàn)場的照片婆誓，看著車開上人行道的樣子，我不禁祈禱也颤，如果那邊有個圍欄就好了洋幻，或者至少有個電線桿擋一下，也就不會發(fā)生這樣的事情了翅娶。此時我又對開車這件事的恐怖傷害性有了重新的認(rèn)識文留。一旦你的方向盤打錯了，這臺便利的移動工具竭沫，瞬間就變成了一臺殺人的兇器燥翅。
根據(jù)我在東京都內(nèi)工作的同僚說，他在遇到托兒所小孩出門散步的時候蜕提，托兒所的老師說：“有的家長提建議說：‘我們挺擔(dān)心的森书，今天要不然別散步了’ 但是，有的小孩子也會擔(dān)心今天會不會變成和以往不一樣的一天……”.所以我們選擇通車少的一條路來走谎势。
毫無辦法保護自己的步行者的方向凛膏，一輛汽車突然襲來。這是最近很扎眼的事故脏榆，也是絕對不應(yīng)該存在的事故猖毫。
[日文原文]
保育園からのお散歩コースには、綺麗な花壇がある须喂。じっと見ていた３歳のれいちゃんがこんなことを言った吁断。「せんせい坞生、おはな仔役、だれがいろぬったの？」「誰が色塗った恨胚？骂因？」「おおきくなったら、おはなにいろぬるひとになりたいなぁ」赃泡。
てぃ先生という保育士が『きょう寒波、ほいくえんでね…３伺巍！俄烁！』に書き留めた話だ绸栅。花があんまり美しいので「きっと誰かが色をつけたんだ」「そういうお仕事があるんだ」と思い巡らしたようだ页屠。園児たちにとって歩くことは粹胯、不思議さに満ちた世界に出會うことだ。
一生懸命に隣のこと手を繋ぎ辰企、先生の後をついていく风纠。賑やかにお話をしながら。大津市であった痛ましい事故に牢贸、近所で見掛けるお散歩を思い出した方も多かったのではないか竹观。
あそこにガードレールがあれば。せめてポールだけでもあれば潜索。車が歩道に乗り上げた事故現(xiàn)場の寫真を見ると臭增、そう思わずにはいられない。そして改めて感じるのは運転することの怖さである竹习。ハンドルを誤れば誊抛、便利な移動手段は巨大な兇器に変わる。
東京都內(nèi)で脳園児の行列に出會った同僚によると整陌、先生がこう言っていた拗窃。「心配だから今日はお散歩はやめませんか泌辫、という親御さんもいました并炮。でも、いつもと違う1日になると不安になる子もいるので…….」甥郑。車の少ない通りを選んで歩くという逃魄。
身を守るすべのない歩行者に突然、車が襲いかかる澜搅。最近目につくようになった事故である伍俘。絶対にあってはいけない事故である。
[英文譯文]
The book "Kyo Hoikuen dene!!" (Guess what happened at preschool today!!), written by a male preschool teacher by the name of T-Sensei, details his daily interactions with his young charges.
A beautiful flower bed runs alongside the sidewalk on the south where he takes the kids for their daily stroll.
The flowers are so?striking, the author notes, that one of the children, a 3-year-old named Rei-chan, seems sure someone must have colored?them?and that it was their job to do so.
Staring raptly at the colorful petals, she asks him out of the blue, "Sensei, who colored these flowers?" And the toddler goes on, "When I grow up, I want to be someone who colors flowers."
For young children, strolling around the neighborhood means encountering a world filled with wonder. They follow their teacher, holding tightly onto the hands of their mates and chattering happily.
Many people must have visualized this familiar scene when they learned of the heart-wrenching?tragedy that occurred on May 8 in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture.
Seeing photos of the accident scene, where a vehicle rammed into a group of preschoolers on the sidewalk, I wished there had been a guardrail or at least a pole in place to protect the children.
The incident was?a fresh?reminder of the frightening responsibility one bears when getting behind?the?wheel.?For all its convenience as a mode of transportation, a car can turn into an oversize lethal "weapon" if mishandled.
After the incident, a colleague of mine came across?a group?of kindergarten children out for a stroll on a Tokyo sidewalk.
"Some worried parents suggested that the kids skip their walk that day," their teacher?siad. "But then, some youngsters get anxious if their daily routine is disrupted, so..."
The teacher's solution was to choose a route with less vehicular traffic.
Pedestrians are completely?vulnerable?in the face of a charging car. Sadly, accidents of this type have recently become more frequent.
But they should never be allowed to occur.
