日本熱賣蔡英文著作，為什麼？
前原志保 [作者簡介]
現今的日本，正興起一股廣義的臺灣主題書籍熱潮。每天都有各式各樣的雜誌推出臺灣特輯，在大型書店的旅遊書區，臺灣旅遊的相關書籍占據了較寬大的空間。
在此背景下，日本的出版社分別在2016年5月20日臺灣總統就職典禮當日出版《蔡英文　新時代の台湾へ》（白水社，2016年）［原書《英派 點亮臺灣的這一哩路》（圓神，2015年）］以及2017年1月的《蔡英文自伝：台湾初の女性総統が歩んだ道》（白水社，2017年）［原書《洋蔥炒蛋到小英便當――蔡英文的人生滋味》（圓神，2011年）］兩本蔡英文的著作，但是發行順序和臺灣顛倒。關於這兩本著作，以下以《英派》和《洋蔥炒蛋到小英便當》稱之。
除了蔡英文本身寫的這兩本書，黃文雄的兩本日文著作(※1)，及丸山勝翻譯張瀞文的《蔡英文：從談判桌到總統府》（商業周刊；2015）(※2)，也在短期間內相繼出版。若回顧過去在日本出版的歷代臺灣總統的書籍來看，李登輝的著作特殊，在此暫且不論，陳水扁的書有兩本，而馬英九連一本也沒有，這次有關蔡英文的書籍卻大量出版，是相當特殊的現象。
《英派》的日譯本是去年白水社年度銷售量的第2名。順帶一提，第1名是臺籍作家溫又柔的散文集《台湾生まれ、日本語育ち》（2015）(※3)，溫又柔的作品比蔡英文的書還要早半年出版，而且蔡英文的書定價為2,000日圓，換算成臺幣超過550元，即使價格設定偏高，還是如此暢銷，由此可知《英派》這本書在日本受到相當大的矚目。
那麼，日本讀者是如何看待這兩本書呢？實際上，雖然日本的臺灣熱潮方興未艾，然而關於臺灣政治情勢的報導還是非常侷限。也就是說，這兩本書是許多日本人認識蔡英文這號人物的「第一道窗口」。因緣際會下，筆者翻譯了這兩本書，站在譯者的立場，透過這篇文章試圖分析日本讀者是如何看待這兩本書，並分享出版背後日本社會獨特的狀況。

Quotes

Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.
I don't go by the rule book... I lead from the heart, not the head.
Only do what your heart tells you.


Princess Diana died tragically in a car accident in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997. Twenty years after her death, she is still remembered by many as a doting mother, fashion icon and humanitarian. Read more about her final hours: http://wapo.st/2eldfJj
