桜が咲く頃に

桜が咲く頃、私は教授室から新渡戸稲造記念庭園まで歩いた。なんだか回顧的な気分がし、無数の考えが浮かんだ。誰もいない庭に行ってみたい。辛いことも悲しいこともない庭に行ってみたい。その庭で私は、綺麗な景色を見たい時に見る。大空を見上げたい時に見上げる。何も心配したくない時にしなくてもいい。その瞬間を評価し続けたく、残念ながら、庭は四時に閉じる。そのため、見たものについて考えながら出口に向かう。ふと、悲しみに打ちひしがれる。

When the cherry blossoms were in bloom, I walked from my professor's office to the Inazo Nitobe Memorial Garden. I felt somewhat retrospective, and countless thoughts came to mind. I want to go to a garden where no one is there. I want to go to a garden where there is no pain or sadness. In that garden I see a beautiful view when I want to see one. I look up when I want to look up at the big sky. I don't have to worry about anything when I don't want to. I want to continue to appreciate the moment, and unfortunately, the garden closes at four o'clock. So I head for the exit, thinking about what I saw. Suddenly, I am overcome with sadness.
