 内容を紹介することによって書籍の良さをアピールすることもできます The Man Who Planted

Trees の内容に触れながら所見も加えているのがIt tells the story of one shepherd’s selfless

effort to reforest his desolate village. I believed

the shepherd Bouffier was an actual person

when I read it, but it is a fable by Jean Giono.

Bouffier continues to plant trees single-

handed over 40 years and turns his village

into a place full of life and hope. [国村正子]です

5 まとめとして 締めの言葉も重要です I strongly recommend

this book to the young people who are

concerned about environmental issues. [富村義彦]やThis book is a ‘must’ for people who want

 表現と内容の両面において Tony 先生が賛辞を送っている作品です One of the books that

impressed me most was “Walden” by Henry

David Thoreau, a vivid account of the two

years or so in the mid-18th century the author

himself spent alone in a secluded cabin at

Walden Pond in Concord, Mass. In the book,

Thoreau not only observes and contemplates

nature and its seasonal changes; he uses his

broad knowledge of philosophical and religious

texts to turn these observations into answers

to such questions as “how should one live?”

“Walden” is a must-read for those who yearn

for solitude, love nature and want to get away

from it all! [岩渕誠]

The book I’d recommend is “Zen and

the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”. In

th is book , the author goes on a

motorcycle trip with his son and

friends to 1)recover his original self,

who lost saneness and memory in his

struggle to find an answer to the

problem of the world being divided into

the romantic mind (emotion) and the

classic mind (reason). He 2)concludes

the key to uniting these two is 3)caring

heart 4)and gives us a hint to live a

harmonious life. The book was written

about forty years ago, but what he says

holds true even today. This is why I’d

like many people to read this book.

[市陽代]

●1) Although not wrong, “rediscover” is a

much more suitable word in this context

than “recover” which has stronger

connotations to sickness or ailments. (誤りではありませんが この文脈では rediscover が適切です recover は病気関連を連想させます)● 2 ) W h e n e v e r I s e e t h e w o r d

“concludes,” I expect it to be followed by

the conjunction “that.” Otherwise, it

should be followed by a colon here.

concludes の後には接続詞 that が続きます代わりにコロンでもよいです●3) We each have one, I hope, so let’s

make it “a caring heart.” heart はそれぞれ一つですので a caring heart にします● 4 ) T h i s c l a u s e s e e m s l i k e a n

Yet it is also one of the contributor’s

reasons for recommending the book. Give

it a sentence of its own. I would also

suggest there is more than one hint on

how to live a harmonious live. この部分は付加的であり重要ではなさそうに見えます 本の推薦の理由として挙げるならば 独立した文にします また harmonious life を送るためのヒントは複数あると思います
