-日本の建築についての、大門さんとトムさんの会話
Daimon:
So, Tom, are you interested in architecture?
Tom:
略

Tom:
Oh really, that’s interesting.
Daimon:
It’s not certain, but some say he might have gotten inspiration from the historical Byodoin 平等院 Temple in Kyoto. I feel a great thing about Japanese architecture is its historical buildings.
Tom:
Absolutely. They’re amazing. I admire the skills of the ancient carpenters who built temples and other structures such as a five-story pagoda that can stand over periods of hundreds of years. Are Japanese buildings and their designs attracting attention abroad?
Tom:
Well, nine Japanese architects have taken home the Pritzker, so the answer to that question is pretty clear!
Naomi:
What do you think makes it so interesting to people overseas?
Tom:
略。。
Daimon:
I also think Japanese buildings are in harmony with nature.

なおみ: トムさんは子供の頃、建築家になりたいと思っていたんですね。
Tom:
That’s right. It was my dream.
