PART D_2

People wonder if there is such an entity as personality inside us. I think we watch a person’s behaviors and describe the person as in “She is optimistic about everything” and “He is a rather pessimistic person. He dwells on negative events.” Well, anyway, let’s get back to the track. It will take some time to get back to normalcy. We don’t know how long it will be.”

私たちの内に人格というものが存在するのでしょうか。ぼくらは人の行動を観察し、そしてその人のことを「彼女はなんでも楽観的だ」とか「彼はむしろ悲観的な人で、ネガティブな出来事にとらわれる」といったふうに述べているんだと思う。いずれにせよ、本題に戻しましょう。正常な状態を取り戻すにはしばらく時間がかるでしょう。それがどれぐらいかはわかりません
