去年の夏、私のタンゴの先生のご主人、ホルヘさんに出会いました。二人はアルゼンチンのブエノスアイレス出身ですが、現在スペインのバレンシアに住んでいて、ロンドンからのスペシャルゲストとして毎回私を大歓迎してくれます。あるとき、ホルヘさんの書いた著書’El ángel diestro’をいただきました。人生で大切なこと、生き方を力強く伝えているこの物語に感動し、日本語への翻訳を引き受けることにしました。ホルヘさんは子供の時から20年近く空手を習っていたので黒帯2段もあり、日本の精神をこよなく愛していたからです。スペイン語から日本語への翻訳は決して容易なものではありませんでした。日本人はしない表現や考え方を日本語にするため、スペイン語母語話者で英語もネイティブ並みの知人、ブレンダさん、ディエゴさん、ミゲルさんにもお手伝いいただきました。また、より自然な日本語にするため、スペイン語も英語も知らない母の協力も得ました。この度、私が翻訳した本がより多くの皆様に読まれ、読者の皆様がより素晴らしい人生を送られることを願っております。
I met Jorge, my tango teacher's husband, last summer. The couple are originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and they moved to Valencia, Spain ten years ago. They always welcome me as a special guest from London! One time, he gave me his book written in Spanish ’El ángel diestro’. I was very impressed by the strong message of the story on how to create and live your own life. His dream was to have a Japanese version when the book became very influential nationally. He learnt karate for almost 20 years with grade 2 black belt and he loves the Japanese spirits and philosophy. Therefore, I translated it into Japanese for his dream. It was not easy as Spanish has lots of different expressions that Japanese people would not understand. Therefore, my friends, Brenda, Diego and Miguel, who are native Spanish speakers and fluent in English helped me to understand the lines deeply. Also, my mother who does not know both Spanish and English helped me in order to make the Japanese translation more natural. I wish the book reach more people in the world and make each person's life more fulfilling!
Un agradecimiento especial a tres personas que me ayudaron a comprender el español mucho mejor. Esas persona son Brenda, Diego y Miguel.
