何気ない一言・・・注意したい

【写真は、次女の次女が七五三で神社にお参りしたとき】

　今日１１月３０日の日の出時刻は６時３５分(群馬県)のため、３月から倉賀野上四公園で行われていたラジオ体操会は薄暗いため今日で終わり、再開は来年３月です。３月になると、日の出は６時１５分になり、空は明るくなります。

　昨日６時３０分からのラジオ体操は、すでに薄暗くなってるため、私は、東の空高く輝いていた「明けの明星」を眺めながら体操しました。現在、金星と木星は反対の位置にあり、夕刻時には東の空にひときわ明るく「木星」が輝いてます。

　ところで、地元小学校児童の下校時におけるパトロールは１２月もあり、通学路を２Kほど巡回したり、信号機の所で旗振りします。３学期の初めは１週間継続して、登校時のパトロールが始まり、3学期の朝は寒いです。

　私はすでに１５年程パトロールに参加し、交通安全や不審者対策と共に、子供の顔を見ながら挨拶運動をしてますが、近年気づくことは、日本で生まれる子供の中には片親が外国人と想われる児童が推定２％ほどいます。

　しかし、子供にとっては、ここ日本が生まれ故郷であり、「外見だけで外国人扱いする偏見」は決してあってはならないことです。例えば、「お母さんの国はどこ？」など、私たちはつい、何気ない一言で「子供を悲しくさせていないか」今までになかった注意を徹底しなければなりません。

Dear my overseas friends who are crazy about the way of rich life

　The simultaneous interpretation for you will be later, because from now on I will participate the radio gymnastics held in the park then I take a breakfast in Japan time. After that, I'll interpret into English for your understanding above mentioned contents.

.................

　Today, November 30th, the sunrise is 6:35 (Gumma Prefecture, Japan), so the radio gymnastics session that has been held at Kuragano-Kam4th Park since March ends today due to the darkness, and will not held until March next year. In March, the sun rises at 6:15, and the sky will be brighter.

　The radio gymnastics session started at 6:30 yesterday, but since it was already slightly dark, I did the exercises while looking at the "Lucifer" that was shining high in the eastern sky. Currently, Venus and Jupiter are in opposite positions in the outer space, so that Jupiter shines extremely brightly in the eastern sky at dusk.

　Not change the subject, but, we work as a patrol in December as well. When local elementary school children leave school, we patrol about 2km of the school route and wave flags at traffic light. At the beginning of the 3rd semester, we will patrol at morning time for a week in succession, mornings in the 3rd semester will be cold.

　I have been participating in patrols for about 15 years, and in addition to ensuring traffic safety and dealing with suspicious persons, I also greet children while looking at their faces. But in recent years I have noticed that some children born in Japan. They have one parent from a foreign country. There are an estimated 2% of children, I guess.

　However, for children, Japan is their birthplace. The "prejudice of treating them as foreigners based solely on their appearance" should never occur. For example, we have to be more careful than ever to make sure that we don't make their children sad, by inadvertently saying "Where is your mother's country?"
