年季の入ったブルースマンやR&Bミュージシャンのインタビューを聞いていると、”We was” という表現が出てくることがある。これは標準英語とは異なるが、彼らの間では決して間違いではない。こういうのは Vernacular(自然発生的な日常文法) といって、Slang(俗語・流行語) や、地域的な Dialect(方言) とも少し違う。このバンドの名前 Sho-nuffは、「あたりきよ!(Sure enough)」みたいな、レトロで味のあるスラング。

シンガポールの元外交官で、国連大使として安全保障理事会議長も務めたキショール・マフバニ氏は、アジアの躍進は歴史の自然な流れだと長年語ってきた。この講演では、多くの西洋人の聴衆を前に、「世界人口のわずか12%に過ぎないあなた達が、残りの88%(グローバルサウスやアジア)に説教する時代は終わったんです」と指摘する。G7などを通じてその「西洋」の側に足を置き続けてきた日本にとっても、ズシンと響く話だ。

蒸気機関の大幅な改良で、産業革命の立役者となったジェームズ・ワット。輝かしい功績とは裏腹に、彼の歩んだ道のりは挫折の連続だった。成功が見えないまま10年近く研究と資金繰りに追われたどん底の時期、彼が友人に宛てた手紙に残した言葉は、「人生のあらゆることの中で、発明ほどバカバカしいものはないよ」(出典)。「必死にもがいているのに全然報われない」と感じる時期こそ、実は大逆転が起こる直前のサインだったりする。
