幽霊が居るらしい／Ghost Campus

この間台湾人の友達からこの話を聞いた。キャンパスの古い一部が今廃墟されて、そこには幽霊が出て来ると言われている。

行ってみたら、そこまで怖いところじゃなかった。まあ、昼間に行ったけど。今度夜にでも行ってみようと。

今このところの建物は改造中だから、以後は台湾学部がここに移動するらしい。俺は友達に幽霊気を付けてねと注意した。

ここの建物は元々日本時代に作られた物だ。格好いいだろう？

A Taiwanese friend of mine told me recently about this one part of the campus that is old and not being used.  She said that there are ghosts there.  I went and checked it out, but I didn't see any ghosts.  Of course, I went in the middle of a bright, sunny day...

This part of the campus has buildings from the Japanese period when the school was originally built.  They're fixing them up right now, and they're going to move the Taiwanese Literature Department into this area when the construction is all done.  That's the department my friend is in, so I told her to watch out for ghosts.  I'm helpful like that.

It's pretty overgrown in between the buildings.  Because it's warm all year round here, I think it's hard to keep weeds in check.  It's the same reason why the bugs are so big.  Winter is good for killing unwanted pests, so places that don't have it have more pests.

俺はよく台湾と沖縄を比べるけど、ここも似とるなぁと思った。キャンパスのこのところは今使われていないので、建物の工事以外は人の手があまり入っていない。台湾はすぐこう成ってしまう：草ボーボー。一年中、寒く成る事が無い地域はだいたいそうだと思う。毎回沖縄に行った時、日本の他の地域と比べて、生い茂っている感じがした。又、長崎に住んでいたけど、長崎とニューヨークを比べても、基本的に長崎の虫が大きかった。冬が無い地域は特に雑草と害虫に悩まされているだろう。

今回はあまり言う事が無いけど、このキャンパス本当に格好いいと思った、絶対写真載せたかった。台湾学部にでも入ろうかな。
I don't actually have much to say this time, but it was a nice sunny day, and the buildings here are pretty cool, so I really wanted to put these photos up.  If the Taiwanese Literature Department is going to be located here, I think I might just choose to study Taiwanese Literature.
