| Japan football coach no farmer |
足球教練要當農夫？ |
| Japan's coach Takeshi Okada says he has been declining offers to become a farmer, AFP reported. The mix-up is all because of a mistranslation in his interview with a major British football magazine. Okada recalled he had told the magazine before the World Cup in South Africa that he would leave his job to lead a life typified by a Japanese idiom which means "till the land when it shines and read books when it rains." The lifestyle has been idealized by intellectual recluses, but the idiom itself has been expanded to mean a life free from worldly affairs. The magazine quoted Okada as saying he would retire to become a "farmer." As a result, he had received agricultural job offers from a banana plant in the sub-tropical island of Okinawa and the mayor of a town on the northern island of Hokkaido, Okada said. Okada's contract as Japan coach expires on August 31. His replacement is yet to be hired. |
據法新社報道，最近，日本國家足球隊教練岡田武史正忙著回絕那些聘他做農夫的邀請。這種混亂源于他接受一家英國足球雜志采訪時一句不準確的翻譯。岡田回憶說，在南非世界杯開賽之前，他用一句日語成語對該雜志表示說離任后想要過“晴天犁地，雨天讀書”的生活。這是學識滿腹的隱士們所描繪的理想生活方式，現在泛指遠離塵世喧囂的生活。而該雜志卻將岡田的話援引為他離任后要去當“農夫”。結果，位于亞熱帶沖繩島的一家香蕉種植園和北海道北部的一個小鎮均向他拋出了橄欖枝。據報道，岡田作為日本國家隊教練的合同今天期滿，接任者尚未確定。 |
