——————Table Topics (Japanese)——————–

 

Kaz san – The Japanese priminitser is quoted as saying the current economic crisis is the worst economic storm that happens once in a 100 years. What do you think? 日本の総理大臣はこの経済不況を100年に一度の災難といいました。あなたはどう思いますか?

 

Hiroshi San – I think it can be bad but its because our expectation s were inflated and we expected numbers based off of those numbers that we lost site what the real values were. 私はこれから悪化すると思います。でもこれは我々の期待があまりにも上がりすぎたからだとおもいます。

 

Kaz san – The world economic trouble is said to top 10^16 Yen. What do you think of that? 世界の価値が1京円消えました。それをどうおもいますか?

 

Guest Okazuma-san – I am an engineer and I am used to dealing with number in log scale however when I put it in context with money and thinkof the suffering this money will cause it’s a little worrisome. 私はエンジニアなのでこれだけの数字は見慣れていますけどこれがお金である事でちょっと数字の感覚が変わりました。このお金の消滅でどれだけの人が苦しむか考えるとちょつと心配です。

 

Kaz san – What do you think of the GM situation? GMの事どう思いますか?

 

Katoko-san I don’t really know the root cause so I really can’t comment but the size of the industry is so big so I think we need to take action. But it can’t just give money to the industry. We need to monitor it closely. I blame loose regulations of the previous administration. 私はこの問題の元を知らないのであんまりコメントできませんがこの企業があまりにも大きいのでなんらかの援助は必要だと思います。だけどただお金をあげるだけでは問題だと思います。GMをよく見張ってなくてはなりません。そして私は前政権の軽々しい規制のせいにしてます。 

 

————–English——————–
