長い時間かけて難問パズルを解くかのように英語の本と格闘して、
その影響でまともな日本の文献を読む時間も奪われるので馬鹿に
なってしまうよ。
英語好きって結構、一般常識のない馬鹿が多いのだよ。この掲示板を
見れば一目瞭然だ。
まずは英字新聞を読むことだね。トランプがどうしたとかのつまらない
記事ばかりじゃない。経済、社会、スポーツ、文化、芸能・・・いろんな記事が
ある。世の中の出来事、全てのことが対象だから読んでいるだけで物知りに
なってしまう。
「事実は小説より奇なり」・・・、調査レポートなんか特に面白い。自分の興味
のある分野の記事は容易に見つけることができるだろう。小説なんか短編で
あっても読み終えるのに何日もかかるだろうし、まだ、読む実力がついていな
い段階ではきっと途中で飽きてしまって長続きしないだろう。
まずは、英字新聞で語彙力を増加し、読解力を鍛えることが、結局は英文小説
を読む早道なのであるさｗ。
英字新聞は「one sitting」の隙間時間で読める。英字新聞の面白さ、楽しさを知っ
てもらうためいくつかの記事（抜粋）を紹介してみよう。

When Aart van Waal chose 20 years ago to fish eel rather than join
the legal profession, he did not expect to be told someday to make
a choice between making a living and breaking the law.
The burly 40-year-old, a tattooed Rolling Stones fan, says he has
made a comfortable enough living so far.
But he is finding a waning October moon welcome, and not just because
it provides the best opportunity to catch eels. It also offers some cover
as he breaks a Dutch government ban on commercial eel fishing,
risking a fine of $4,400.
Fishing the muddy, shallow canals near his home for the plump eels that
the Dutch consider a delicacy―smoked and served on toast or in sandwiches―
and which are eaten in stews across Europe, is no longer allowed during
October and November.・・・・(Limits on eel harvest threaten Dutch tradition)

Benito Mussolini was a fierce anti-Semite, who proudly said that
his hatred for Jews preceded Adolf Hitler’s and vowed to “destroy them all”,
according to previously un・published diaries by the Fascist dictator’s
longtime mistress.
According to the diaries, Mussolini also talked about the warm reception
he received from Hitler at the 1938 Munich conference―he called
the German leader a “softy”―ａｎｄ ａｔｔａｃｋｅｄ Pope Pius Ⅸ for his
criticism of Nazism and Fascism.
On a more intimate note, Mussolini was explicit about his sexual appetites
for his mistress and said he regretted having affairs with several other
women.・・・・(Mistress’ diary: Mussolini fierce anti-Semite)

The assertion by American researchers that Hitler might have escaped
from Berlin because a skull fragment in a Moscow archive was not his
but a young woman’s is rich in paradox.
Stalin went to great lengths in 1945 to conceal the fact that Hitler’s body
had been identified by pathologists working for Smersh, the Soviet military
counterintelligence agency.
Stalin even misled his own commander to know why he had failed to find
Hitler’s corpse. And Pravda declared that rumors of the discovery of Hitler’s
body were a fascist provocation.
Stalin ruled by creating fear and uncertainty among both subordinates at home
and among his Western allies aboard, who were of course seen as potential
enemies.
Even after Hitler’s jaws, with their distinctive bridgework, had been identified
by the assistant to the Fuhrer’s personal dentist, the Soviet authorities
nurtured rumors that Hitler was hiding in Bavaria. As Bavaria was part of the
American zone of occupation, the implication was that the Americans had
concealed him and were somehow in league with the Nazis.・・・・

More than 8,000m up, close to Everest’s south Col, dawn was just
breaking when David O’Brien spotted what at first he thought was a
rock lying in the snow.
“As I got closer I could see the yellow of a down suit; it was a climber
lying still on his side,”the British mountaineer said. “His oxygen mask
was off and his nostrils were white, frostbitten. I asked him his name and
what group he was with but only got a slurred, unrecognizable response.”
Mr O’Brien and his team spent the next few hours trying to save the man,
a Polish climber who had been abandoned by his team but who survived
ｌargely because of Mr o’Brien,who dragged him down the mountain.・・・

Kristen Hart’s search for a cold-blooded killer came to an end
at a perfect hideout―thick scrub brush, dense trees and shade.
She crouched with three scouts and whispered. “Do you see her?”
asked Hart, a logical Survey. “yeah, she’s in there,” answered
Thomas Selby, a wildlife biologist. “I think she knows we’re here,”
said Brian Smith, another biologist.
Within seconds, the 16 foot Burmese python uncoiled and quickly
slithered off. What happened next is a drama that plays out every
week or so as state and federal biologists try to prove―or disprove―
that the giant invasive snakes are the reason for the near disappearance
of rabbits, opossums, raccoons, foxes and even bobcats in the
southernmost section of the 1.5 million-acre Everglades.
Smith and Selby charged into the trees. “I’ve got the head!” Smith shouted.
”Grab the tail!”They stumbled out with the writhing snake in a chokehold,
huge mouth agape, ready to bite.・・・・（Putting the squeeze on pythons）
