本郷アカデミー会場の12月1日午後の回を申し込みました。
急ぎの原稿を抱えているのに，スポーツ観戦三昧で，
全く英語学習をしておらず，2ヶ月連続のTOEIC LRSW4技能連戦は
茨の道となりそうです。

『Re:フォロワー』第6話を見ました。人間関係が少しずつ，
明らかになってきましたが，池永一十三(西銘駿)と五島昭(谷口賢志)が
3年間一緒に暮らしていたとする設定にはちょっとびっくり。
第7話では，池永が指名手配されてしまうようですが，
「クレシダ」顔バレで，非常にまずい展開ですね。

ハムレットより
Hamlet:
Let us go in together,
And still your fingers on your lips, I pray.
The time is out of joint—O cursèd spite,
That ever I was born to set it right!
Nay, come, let's go together.
Hamlet Act 1, scene 5, 186–190
ちなみに，フィリップ・ディック(Philip K. Dick)の作品に，
Time Out of Joint (1959)という作品があります。
『時は乱れて』というタイトルで，邦訳版があります。高橋良平氏の解説に，
『ハムレット』の一節が引かれていますが，Wikipediaにも，
以下のように，ハムレットとの関連が記述されています。
The novel epitomizes many of Dick's themes with its concerns
about the nature of reality and ordinary people in ordinary lives
having the world unravel around them. The title is a reference to
Shakespeare's play Hamlet. The line is uttered by Hamlet to Horatio
after being visited by his father's ghost and learning that his uncle
Claudius murdered his father; in short, a shocking supernatural event
that fundamentally alters the way Hamlet perceives the state
and the universe ("The time is out of joint; O cursed spite! That
ever I was born to set it right!" [I.V.211-2]),
much as do several events in the novel.
