Leitura

本当の最終版 The really final version

田中マリアさん、まだ残のこってたの? 明日あしたの発表はっぴょうの準備じゅんび?Maria, you're still here? Preparing for tomorrow's presentation?

マリアはい。スライドを直なおすのは、もう二十回目にじゅっかいめです。一文字ひともじでも間違まちがえたらと思おもうと、怖こわくて。Yes. This is the twentieth time I've revised the slides. I'm scared when I think I might get even one letter wrong.

田中二十回にじゅっかいも?Twenty times?

マリア大おおげさに聞きこえるかもしれませんが、本当ほんとうです。私わたしはまだ未熟みじゅくなので、せめて資料しりょうだけは完璧かんぺきにしたいんです。It may sound exaggerated, but it's true. I'm still inexperienced, so I want at least the materials to be perfect.

田中気持きもちは分わかるけど、気負きおいすぎだよ。社長しゃちょうの前まえで話はなすのではあるまいし、聞きくのはチームの五人ごにんだけだよ。I understand how you feel, but you're trying too hard. It's not as if you're speaking in front of the company president; only the five people on our team will be listening.

マリアでも、前まえの会議かいぎで日付ひづけを一ひとつ間違まちがえて、恥はずかしかったんです。But at the last meeting I got one date wrong, and I was embarrassed.

田中そんな些細ささいなこと、誰だれも覚おぼえてないよ。経験けいけんが浅あさいゆえに失敗しっぱいを恐おそれるのは自然しぜんだけど、恐おそれて臆病おくびょうになるほうがもったいない。Nobody remembers something that trivial. It's natural to fear failure because you're inexperienced, but it's a waste to become timid out of fear.

田中うちのチームは失敗しっぱいに寛容かんようだから安心あんしんして。私わたしも完璧かんぺきを目指めざしすぎないよう、いつも自分じぶんを戒いましめてるんだ。Our team is tolerant of mistakes, so don't worry. I always remind myself not to aim too hard for perfection, too.

マリア田中たなかさんでもそうなんですか。少すこし気きが楽らくになりました。Even you, Mr. Tanaka? I feel a little more relaxed now.

田中よかった。じゃあ、もう帰かえろう。Good. Well then, let's go home.

マリアはい。……あれ、田中たなかさんのパソコン、ファイルがたくさん並ならんでいますね。「最終版さいしゅうばん」「本当ほんとうの最終版さいしゅうばん」「絶対ぜったい最終版さいしゅうばん」……。Okay. ...Huh, there are lots of files lined up on your computer, Mr. Tanaka. "Final version," "Really final version," "Absolutely final version"...

田中……実じつは私わたしも来週らいしゅう、発表はっぴょうなんだ。...Actually, I have a presentation next week, too.
