Professor, Yoshinobu Tokita's World


下記の記事を奥様がご覧くださり、11月21日ころ「一茶オノマトペ俳句70句英訳」をご覧下さる由、再編集しました. 

故・戸北凱惟先生(元上教大副学長)の奥様が「上越よみうり」様の記事をご覧になられて「一茶オノマトペ俳句70句英訳」冊子をご予約下さいました.

この機に戸北先生のご紹介記事を改訂しました

 

The wife of the late Mr. Yoshinobu Tokita (Ex-Vice-President of JUEN) saw the article about “Issa’s Onomatopoeia Haiku 70 Haiku Translated into English” on Joetsu Yomiuri (Daily Newspaper) and ordered the booklet by telephone.

On this occasion, I rewrote the article introducing Mr. Tokita. Please take a look at “Yoshy's Wonderful Teachers” on the above website.

氷雨の朝の新井高前です。メタセコイヤがすっかり赤くなりました。この木を見る度、当時の生物科担任:佐久間先生の呟(つぶや)きを思い出します。:「大気圧のため、水を10メートル以上吸い上げることができないはずなのに、メタセコイヤが10メートル以上あるのはなぜでしょうねぇ?」 その答えは、自然科学ご専門の戸北教授が私に教えて下さいました。そんなことより、

 

This picture of Arai S/H School was shot in a cold rain. All the leaves of dawn redwoods turned red. Every time I see them, Mr. Sakuma who was teaching us a subject of biology. He used to *murmured to himself, “Why is a tree of dawn redwood able to suck up water to such height, though water can’t be lifted up over 10 meters high under atmospheric pressure?” After many years passed, Professor Tokita majoring natural science was kind enough to tell the answer to me by email. … Well, that is not so important, but…

私が敬愛する40年来の友人、戸北凱惟様 (前・上教大学長)2014(H-26) 1019()にご逝去:1125日の上越タイムスで知りました.享年72歳。楽しい思い出が走馬灯のように駆け巡ります。得難いご友情、ありがとうございました.

 

Yoshy was told that one of my best respected friends known to each other for forty years, Mr. Tokita Yoshinobu (the former principal of JUEN) had passed away on Sunday, October 19th 2014, by Joetsu Times dated November 25th, when I knew his death. He died at 72. Lots of images are *coming and going in my mind. I sincerely thank him for his special kindness. *May you rest in peace, sir.

*come and go:現れたり、消えたり *May you rest in peace.:安らかにお眠りください.

 <04: 2007414日の「第1YEAM-PEC講座」以来、何度もご出席下さいました。「学習に官民の区別などありませんよ。」が口ぐせでした>

He attended “YEA (Yoshy’s English Activity) of Myoko Powerful English Club (M-PEC)” many times from the first one on April 14th, 2007. He said to me very often, “There’s no difference in learning something between public *sectors and private ones.”

*sector:部門

 <06: He visited me June 2, 1999: 年に数回、何気なく私に会いに来て下さいました. “To be very glad, he casually came to see me several times a year.”>

 

 

 <07: He visited me April 21, 2013 (H-25): 退官記念の特注岩の原ワインをご持参下さいました. He brought a bottle of Iwanohara wine whose label was custom-made to commemorate his retirement.”>

 

何度もこのLL事務室へ上がってくださいました。2013 (H-25)421日、退官記念のご挨拶にお越しくださいました。LL事務室での最期のスナップです。教室やM-PECのために、多くの外国人留学生をひきあわせて下さいました。Rと私の友人、ヤップ先生もそのお一人です。九州男児の泰然さ、過去に囚(とら)われない進取の気性を見習っています。

 

He visited my LL office many times. Last April 21st, it was his last visit here to report me his retirement from JUEN. He introduced me many overseas students for the events of LL Shihoya Arai School and M-PEC; one of them is Ms. Yap who is one of the best friends of mine and R’s. I’ve been learning his *imperturbable *tranquility of Kyushu men’s personality, *go-getting spirit free from the past.

 <08: April 15th, 1996 @ in JUEN>

ゼミの最中だったのに、教室ドアをノックしたら、即数分、私と話をして下さり、恐懼感激!“Even though he was in charge of his seminar; when I knocked on the classroom door, he immediately made time for me for a few minutes. I was so impressed by his kindness!”

<10: His Card in English>

“Vice President”:「副学長」の文字が見えます. 戸北凱惟先生のお蔭で、学内外、国際寮にまで出入り自由でした. 2007~2009年度新井小英語アドヴァイザー時、JUENただ一人の外国人准教授のMr. Ivan Brown(M-PEC顧問) を私と活動できるように差配くださったのも戸北先生でした.
