翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク If We Dream Too Long ： ウィキペディア英語版 If We Dream Too Long ''If We Dream Too Long'' is a novel written by Singaporean writer Goh Poh Seng. This debut novel was completed in 1968 though it was first published in 1972 by Singapore's Island Press, a press formed by Goh to self-publish his first novel.〔Goh, Poh Seng. "Preface", p. xliv, ''If We Dream too Long'', NUS Press: Singapore, 2010.〕 The book won the National Book Development Council of Singapore's Fiction Book Award in 1976.〔Goh, Poh Seng. "Preface", p. xliv, ''If We Dream too Long'', NUS Press: Singapore, 2010.〕 It is often hailed as the first true Singaporean novel.〔Koh, Tai Ann. "Goh Poh Seng's ''If We Dream too Long'': An Appreciation", p. xii, ''If We Dream too Long'', NUS Press: Singapore, 2010.〕 ==Plot summary== The book follows the life of Kwang Meng, a young 18-year-old who has just graduated from junior college. He currently works as a clerk, a job which he hates and finds monotonous. Two of his junior college friends, Hock Lai and Nadarajah (the latter nicknamed Portia), follow different career paths in their diverging lives. Hock Lai becomes a white-collared worker, determined to climb the corporate ladder, while Portia intends to further his studies in the UK. Kwang Meng meets and strikes up a relationship with a local bar girl, Lucy, at Paradise Bar. Unfortunately, owing to their very different social backgrounds, the couple break up (initiated by Lucy). Hock Lai tries to matchmake Kwang Meng with one of his female acquaintances Anne. Kwang Meng meets Boon Teik and Mei-I, neighbours who are both teachers, and whom Kwang Meng finds an ideal couple. Hock Lai himself gets married with Cecilia, whose father is one of the richest tycoons of Singapore. Throughout all this, Kwang Meng comes across as a rather passive figure, preferring merely to observe and seek solace through activities like swimming in the sea, smoking and drinking in bars. At the novel's end, Kwang Meng's father suffers a stroke, which destined him to take up the burden of supporting his family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「If We Dream Too Long」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
