Oda Nobunaga:


1. 理想を持ち、信念に生きよ。理想や信念を見失った者は、戦う前から負けているといえよう。そのような者は廃人と同じだ。  
   - "Hold onto your ideals and live by your beliefs. Those who lose their ideals and beliefs have already lost before the battle begins. Such people are no different from the walking dead."

2. 生まれながらに才能のある者は、それを頼んで鍛錬を怠る、自惚れる。しかし、生まれつき才能がない者は、何とか技術を身につけようと日々努力する。心構えがまるで違う。これが大事だ。  
   - "Those born with talent often rely on it, neglect training, and become conceited. On the other hand, those born without talent strive daily to acquire skills. Their mindset is entirely different, and that is what truly matters."

3. 必死に生きてこそ、その生涯は光を放つ。  
   - "Only by living desperately does one's life shine brightly."

4. 攻撃を一点に集約せよ、無駄な事はするな。  
   - "Focus your attacks on a single point; do not waste effort on unnecessary things."

5. 臆病者の目には、敵は常に大軍に見える。  
   - "To the eyes of a coward, the enemy always appears as a massive army."

6. 恃（たの）むところにある者は、恃むもののために滅びる。  
   - "Those who rely on something will ultimately be destroyed by what they rely upon."

7. 人を用ふるの者は、能否を択ぶべし、何ぞ新故を論ぜん。  
   - "Those who employ others should choose based on ability, not on whether they are new or old."

Tokugawa Ieyasu:

1. 人生は重荷を負うて遠き道を行くが如し  
   - "Life is like carrying a heavy load on a long journey."  
   → Take life step by step; don’t rush.

2. 勝つことばかり知って、負けることを知らざれば害その身に至る  
   - "If you only know how to win and not how to lose, it will harm you."  
   → Learn from failure, not just success.

3. 耐えて忍べば憂いなし  
   - "Endure and persevere, and you’ll have no worries."  
   → Patience brings good outcomes.

4. 過ちを改めるに遅すぎることはない  
   - "It’s never too late to correct your mistakes."  
   → Fix your mistakes as soon as you notice them.

5. 夢中に生きよ、夢中に学べ  
   - "Live passionately and keep learning with enthusiasm."  
   → Be fully dedicated to what you love and keep learning.

Takeda Shingen:

1. 信頼してこそ人は尽くしてくれるものだ  
   - "People will do their best only if you trust them."  
   → Building trust encourages others to commit fully.

2. 人は城、人は石垣、人は堀、情けは味方、仇は敵なり  
   - "Men are your castle, men are your stone walls, men are your moat. Kindness makes allies, resentment makes enemies."  
   → Value people and treat them kindly to build a strong support system.

3. 苦しい時は自分を磨く好機  
   - "Difficult times are an opportunity to improve yourself."  
   → Use hardships as a chance for self-growth.

・指定したフォルダに出力されます。

ポエム

・穴埋め問題は、おそらく、英語力をみがくのにもっともてっとり早い方法です。
・おっさんが高校生のとき、問題集をアナログコピーして修正ペンで穴埋めをつくって、それをさらにコピーして印刷、という方法で同じことやってました。
・放課後に女子といっしょにコピー機をつかって勉強したり。アナログ作業ならではの甘酸っぱい青春。そして振られるまでがセット。
・いまはペンつきiPadでできるし良い時代になったものですね。
・おっさんはもう必要ありませんが若い皆様の未来のためになればと思い作成いたしました。

追記

・DeepL APIなどで、自動翻訳の処理を最初に入れても面白いかも。
・高校の先生とかでガッツリ必要な方はためしてみてはいかがでしょうか。
