It is anniversary of Yokohama port's opening this year. The Yokohama was opened at 1859, an Edo period. Now, in the Yokohama city, festival is held. there are many events.
By the way, at that time, do you know who transrated the English into Japanese? The answe is the official of Nagasaki. The Nagasaki was opened earlier than Yokohama so there are Nagasaki officials called Nagasaki Tsu-ji. Nagasaki Tsu-ji transrated the English to the Dutch at first, and then, transrate it into Japanese, finaly,Japanese can communicate with Amarican.
I learned this fact at my basic seminar today.
The form transrating among two more language is called Relay Transration. This is a one style of many ways of interpreter. I thought that there must be many problems at that time when there were no erectrical dictionary.
