ディルバート「エンジニアの仕事を正しく子どもに説明しよう」by スコット・アダムス

「@IT情報マネジメント」に連載されているディルバート(Dilbert)という「30才くらいで、カリフォルニア北部のとあるハイテク企業に勤務している」独身エンジニアが主人公のマンガです。
コンピュータおたくが職場を救う?ストーリーが満載で、仕事やネットのし過ぎで疲れた脳が癒されます。
だいたい毎週木曜か金曜日に更新されています。

 
――キャリア・デイ

皆さん、今日はディルバートさんがエンジニアの仕事についてお話ししてくださいます









ボクの仕事はアホに物事を説明する仕事です








そのアホどもがボクの言ったことを
誤解したまま判断を下して







その間違った判断のせいで生まれる
膨大な問題を解決させられるんだ








結局、噂のほうが事実よりも強くて、
ボクはあきらめる








そこで最終段階で、
ボクは嫌われ者の同僚のせいにする








だから、人生何をするにしても
嫌われ者にはなるな








この人の言うことは聞かないように!

と、嫌われ者の先生が言う





【解説】
「キャリア・デイ」とは現役の社会人が学校に出向き、学生達に自分の仕事とは何かを語るという行事で、日米とも学校によっていろいろな試みがあるかと思いますが、講師がディルバートじゃ子供たちが将来に希望を持てなくなっちゃう!
 My job involves…「私の仕事の内容は…」のinvolvesは「何々に含まれる」という意味で、仕事の内容を説明する時によく使う表現ですが、そのほかinvolveには「巻き込む」「巻き添えにする」という意味もあり、“He is involved (in the case).”「彼は(事件に)関わっている」、また男女の仲を指して“He is involved (with her).”「彼は(彼女と)付き合っている」と使います。
 unpopularは直訳すると「人気がない」ですが、ここでは「嫌われ者」と訳しました。
[翻訳・解説:Yvonne Chang]

  • The core of your writing whilst sounding agreeable in the beginning, did not work perfectly with me after some time.
    Someplace throughout the sentences you actually managed to make
    me a believer but just for a short while. I nevertheless
    have got a problem with your jumps in logic and you might do well to help fill in all those breaks.
    When you can accomplish that, I will undoubtedly end up being fascinated.
