應詔賦得除夜

應詔賦得除夜
  作者:(唐)史青 一作王諲詩

今歲今宵盡,明年明日催。
寒隨一夜去,春逐五更來。
氣色空中改,容顏暗裏回。
風光人不覺,已著後園梅。

今は今宵にて盡き 明年は明日より催す
寒は一夜に隨いて去り 春は五更に逐いて來る
氣色や空中は改まり 容顏は暗裏に回わる
風光、人覺えずも 已に後園の梅に著はる

22年前に買った上海古籍出版社発行『古诗台历(古詩台暦)』の大晦日のページに載ってた漢詩はがコレでした。
もちろん太陽暦ではないから、正確には今夜の情景ではないけれども、気分はまぁそういうことです。

Mireille Mathieu – La bonne année
from the movie “La bonne année”(1973)男と女の詩

南太平洋の島嶼国サモアは29日から31日にかけて、自国の標準時を日付変更線の東側から西側の時間帯へと移した。これに伴い、29日から日付が変わる時点(日本時間30日午後7時)で、30日を丸一日飛ばして、大みそか(31日)を迎えた。
 サモアは、世界で最も遅い時間帯から最も早い時間帯に移ったことになる。現在、サマータイムを採用しており、19時間遅れだった日本との時差は逆に、5時間早くなった。
 サモアは、米国が最大の貿易相手国だった1892年、米国との時差を考慮し、日付変更線の東側の時間帯を採用したが、近年はオーストラリアやニュージーランド、中国などアジア諸国との貿易量が拡大。これらとは20時間前後の時差があるため、商取引の可能日数が週4日と短いことが弊害になっていた。
 ニュージーランド領トケラウ諸島もサモアと一緒に、時間帯を移した。

面白いねぇ、こういう話。
どこを日付変更線にしてもいいようなもんだけど、一国内で昨日と今日、今日と明日が同居しちゃマズイってことなんでしょう。
日付変更線のあるあたりはポリネシア(Polynesia。ギリシャ語で「多くの島々」)といってとにかく島が多く、線も真っ直ぐではないので同じ経度でも日付が違ってたりする。つまり南北に移動して昨日と今日を行ったり来たりで来てしまうというおかしな話で。

The deep-voiced Hooper is well-remembered for his decades as performer with the Welk organization. Neither this cover version of the top-5 Don Howard hit nor the one by the Four Knights (also posted) quite managed to reach the Billboard top-10 sales charts (they both peaked at #11), but each of them scored higher on the radio airplay listings, providing relief to some DJ’s who were happy to have alternatives to Howard’s lugubrious original.

The Four Knights – Oh, Happy Day(1952/12)
vocal bass solo by Oscar Broadway

Neither this cover version of the top-5 Don Howard hit nor the one by Lawrence Welk & Larry Hooper (also posted) quite managed to reach the Billboard top-10 sales charts (they both peaked at #11), but each of them scored higher on the radio airplay listings, providing relief to some DJ’s who were happy to have alternatives to Howard’s lugubrious original.

Don Howard – Oh, Happy Day(Triple A:1952, Essex:1952/11)

One of the more talked-about records of 1952-53 was this primitive but strangely-appealing love ballad by Cleveland teen Don Howard Koplow. The mournfully-joyous performance reached a surprising #4 peak on the national record sales charts during January and spawned several slickly-produced cover versions (both the Four Knights and the Lawrence Welk-Larry Hooper releases are also included in this collection). Because Triple A, the small company that first issued the Howard single, was ill-equipped to deal with such large-scale national demand, they cut a deal with Essex Records, which then pressed copies on their own label for distribution outside the state of Ohio.

2 東京電力福島第一原発の事故当時、原発敷地内に駐車していて高濃度に汚染された東電社員らの車について、東電が適切な管理を怠っていた。なかには、中古車市場に流通したり、近隣住民との間でトラブルを起こしたりしている車も出ている。専門家は「放射線量の高い車は、敷地内で発生したがれきと同様に扱うべきだ」と指摘している。
 東電広報部によると、震災から12日後の3月23日からJヴィレッジ(福島県楢葉町、広野町)で放射線検査と除染を始め、一定レベル以上の放射線量の車は外部に出せなくしたが、それ以前は原発敷地内から検査なしで車を持ち出すことが可能だった。震災時、原発内には東電社員755人と協力企業の従業員5660人がいた。社員らが駐車していた車や事故後に持ち出した車の台数は「把握していない」という。
