must also reflect decay.

真の芸術であれば その腐敗を写し出すだろう

And unless it wants to break faith with its social function,

社会機能への信頼を 破壊したいと欲したとき

Art must show the world as changeable.

世界は変えられるということを 芸術は示さなければならない

And help to change it.

変化を促すのだ

Now, my grandmother was a wonderful person.

私の祖母はすばらしい人だった

She taught me how to play the game Monopoly.

モノポリーのやり方を教えてくれた

She understood that the name of the game is to acquire.

”モノポリー”とは 取得だと理解していた

She would accumulate everything she could

手の届くものは全て取得し

and eventually, she became the master of the board.

祖母はモノポリーの達人となった

And then she would always say the same thing to me.

祖母は よく言ったものだ

She would look at me and she would say:

私を見て

“One day, you'll learn to play the game.”

”いつか このゲームができるようになるよ”

One summer, I played Monopoly almost every day, all day long.

毎日一日中モノポリーをした夏があった

And that summer, I learned to play the game.

その夏に私はゲームを理解した

I came to understand the only way to win

勝つための唯一の方法は

is to make a total commitment to acquisition.

取得に徹底することだとわかった

I came to understand that money and possessions-

金と所有物を使って

that's the way that you keep score.

スコアを上げるのだとわかった

And by the end of that summer, I was more ruthless than my grandmother.

その夏の終わりには

.

祖母よりも冷酷になった

I was ready to bend the rules if I had to, to win that game.

勝つためにはルールを曲げるつもりだった

And I sat down with her to play that fall.

その秋に祖母とゲームした

I took everything she had.

祖母の全財産を奪った

I watched her give her last dollar and quit in utter defeat.

最後の1ドルを失う祖母を見た

And then she had one more thing to teach me.

そして祖母はもう一つ教えてくれた

Then she said:

彼女は言った

“Now it all goes back in the box.

”すべては元の箱に戻るんだよ”

All those houses and hotels.

家やホテルのすべて

All the railroads and utility companies...

鉄道や公共事業のすべて

All that property and all that wonderful money...

あなたの金や所持品のすべては

Now it all goes back in the box.

元手の箱に戻ってしまう

None of it was really yours.

最初からあなたのモノではなかった

You got all heated up about it for a while.

ちょっと熱くなりすぎた

But it was around a long time before you sat down at the board

ゲームは今始まったのではない

and it will be here after you're gone: players come, players go.

あなたが死んでも続く　参加者が変わるだけ

Houses and cars...

家や車 肩書きや衣服

Titles and clothes...

あなたの肉体さえも

Even your body.”

変わるだけ

Because the fact is that everything I clutch and consume and hoard

収得 消費 貯蔵するモノすべては

is going to go back in the box and I'm going to lose it all.

元手の箱に戻り 結局すべてを失う

So you have to ask yourself

自分に尋ねよう

when you finally get the ultimate promotion

トップまで昇進して

when you have made the ultimate purchase

夢だったモノを買い

when you buy the ultimate home

夢だった家を買い

when you have stored up financial security

経済的に十分裕福になり

and climbed the ladder of success

成功という梯子の

to the highest rung you can possibly climb it...

最頂点に達した

and the thrill wears off

そしてスリルはなくなる

- and it will wear off -

無くなることは確実だ

Then what?

それから何をする？

How far do you have to walk down that road

終着点が見える

before you see where it leads?

この道を あなたはどこまで歩く？

Surely you understand

あなたはわかっているはずだ

it will never be enough.

いつまでたってもきりがない

So you have to ask yourself the question:

あなたは 自分に問わねばならない

What matters?

何が重要か

They're Hot!

彼女たちはセクシー！

They're Rich!

彼女たちは金持ち！

And They're Spoiled!

そして彼女たちは甘やかされている！

When I was a young man

若いとき 私は

growing up in New York City

ニューヨークで育った

I refused to pledge allegiance to the flag.

私は アメリカ国旗への忠誠を拒絶した

Of course I was sent to the principal's office.

もちろん校長室に行かせられた

And he asked me, 'Why don't you want to pledge allegiance?

「なぜ皆のように 忠誠の誓いをしない？」

Everybody does!'

と校長は聞いた

I said, 'Everybody once believed the Earth was flat

「昔 すべての人は 地球は平たいと信じていましたが

but that doesn't make it so.'

それが真実とは限りません」

I explained that America owed everything it has

「アメリカの繁栄は

to other cultures and other nations

他の国や

.

他の文化のおかげです

and that I would rather pledge allegiance

アメリカに対してだけよりも

to the Earth and everyone on it.

地球とそこに住む人々に

.

忠誠を誓いたかったのです」と言った

Needless to say it wasn't long before I left school entirely

もちろん

.

すぐさま学校を中退して

...and I set up a lab in my bedroom.

部屋を研究室に仕立てた

There I began to learn about science and nature.

そこで科学と自然を

.

学び始めた

I realized then that the universe is governed by laws

そのときに

.

私は気がついた

and that the human being, along with society itself,

宇宙には法則がある

.

人間も社会も

was not exempt from these laws.

この法則から逃れることはできない

Then came the crash of 1929

その後

which began what we now call

1929年に

“The Great Depression”.

世界大恐慌が起った

I found it difficult to understand why millions

工場はまだあるのに

were out of work, homeless, starving,

貧困 失業者や飢餓などが

while all the factories were sitting there;

溢れてるのが理解できなかった

the resources were unchanged.

資源の量は変わっていないのに

It was then that I realized

世界経済ゲームのあり方に

that the rules of the economic game

本質的に意味が無いことが

were inherently invalid.

みえてきた

Shortly after, came World War II

直後に 第二次世界大戦があり

where various nations took turns

国々がお互いを

systematically destroying each other.

破壊しあった

I later calculated that all the destruction

この戦争で破壊され

and wasted resources spent on that war

無駄にされた資源を使えば

.

全人類に必要なものが

could have easily provided for every

簡単に

human need on the planet.

供給できたことを計算した

Since that time，I have watched humanity

それ以来 人類が

set the stage for its own extinction.

自滅の準備をするのを見てきた

I have watched as the precious finite resources

利益と自由市場の名の下

are perpetually wasted and destroyed

有限で貴重な資源が

in the name of profit and free markets.

絶え間なく浪費され 破壊されるのも見てきた

I have watched the social values of society

物質主義と

be reduced into a base artificiality of materialism

愚かな消費による粗悪な模造品で

and mindless consumption.

社会の価値が変えられるのも見てきた

And I have watched as the monetary powers

金の力が「自由社会」の

control the political structure

政治機構を

of supposedly free societies.

支配するのも見てきた

I'm 94 years old now.

私は今 94歳だ

And I'm afraid my disposition is the same as it was

どうもこの気質は

.

75年前から

75 years ago.

変わらないらしい

This shit's got to go.

こんな下らないことは もうおしまいだ

So you're a scientist, and ...

科学者か科学が好きな人なら

somewhere along the way, hammered into your head

「素質 vs 環境」説を教え込まれる

is the inevitable “nature versus nurture”

コーラvsペプシや

and that's at least up there with Coke versus Pepsi

ギリシャ人vsトロイ人

or Greeks versus Trojans.

程度の説だ

So, nature versus nurture: This, by now

今まで過剰に単純化してきた

utterly over-simplifying view of

「素質 vs 環境」という視点のどこに

where influences are-

影響力があるだろう

influences on how a cell deals with

エネルギー危機への対処から

an energy crisis up to

最も個人的なレベルでの

what makes us who we are on the most individualistic

人格形成などまでにも

levels of personality.

影響している

And what you've got is this complete false dichotomy

全ての因果関係の決定に

built around nature as deterministic

この 誤った二分法が

at the very bottom of all the causality.

組み込まれている

Of 'life is DNA' and the 'code of codes'

生命は DNAの遺伝情報と聖杯で

and the Holy Grail, and everything is driven by it.

すべて営まれる と思われている

At the other end is a much more social science perspective

一方 社会科学の

.

観点から見れば

which is: We are 'social organisms'

我々は”社会的生物”で

and biology is for slime molds;

生物学には当てはまらない

humans are free of biology.

人と生物学は関係ない

And obviously both views are nonsense.

このような視点はナンセンスだ

What you see instead is that

その代わりに分かることは

it is virtually impossible to understand how biology works

環境という状況の外側で

.

生物学の機能を理解するのは

outside of the context of environment.

ほぼ不可能だ ということだ

Now what does that mean? It means all sorts of subtle stuff if you
