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

The White House has declared a state of emergency after a cyber attack forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline.

  F.B.I. Identifies Group Behind Pipeline Hack The attack by DarkSide, a relatively new criminal group believed to have roots in Eastern Europe, exposed the vulnerability of key U.S. infrastructure. This is how the Colonial Pipeline became a vital artery for fuel. The White House has declared a state of emergency after a cyber attack forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline.  Experts said that  gasoline prices are unlikely to be affected  if the pipeline is back to normal in the next few days. But the incident — the worst cyberattack to date on critical U.S. infrastructure — should serve as a wakeup call to companies about the vulnerabilities they face,  says The Associated Press .  【網絡安全】美國最大汽油管道被黑客攻擊 美國最大汽油和柴油管道系統的Colonial Pipeline在受到網絡攻擊後將其系統下線，令美國東部沿海主要城市加油站的成品油供應面臨威脅。Colonial Pipeline已聘請協力廠商網絡安全公司來調查並聯繫執法部門和其他聯邦機構。黑客對關鍵基礎設施的威脅一直在增長，促使白宮制訂計劃來提高公用事業及其供應商的安全性。
