米国脳外傷協会からリンクと一部の翻訳許可降りる
Wed. July 26, 2000

　脳外傷協会の議長ジェームズ・ブレイディー氏は、何処かで見たことのある顔だなあ、と思ったらやはり大統領報道官としてしょっちゅうテレビに出ていた人でした。１９８１年、レーガン大統領暗殺未遂事件の際銃撃を受け重症を負い車椅子の生活を余儀なくされました。報道官を引退後は米国で多発する銃撃事件を無くすため銃規制問題にも取り組んでおられます。

　とりあえずブレイディー議長の挨拶を翻訳する許可は頂きました。以下にもあるとおり、翻訳したいものがあったらその都度連絡をください、ということです。このサイトの読者の皆さんも翻訳のリクエストがありましたらメールを下さい。担当の方に頼んでみます。

　それにしても、米国脳外傷協会の規模はデカいです。

米国脳外傷協会議長、ジェームズ・ブレイディー氏

親愛なる皆様 　米国脳外傷協会ホームページへようこそ！脳外傷を負った人達とその家族のための最も内容の充実したこのウェブサイトを訪問してくださり大変嬉しく思います。あなたが探している情報がここで見つかると良いですね！ 　皆様方の多くがご存じのように、１０月は世間の脳外傷問題に関する意識を高める特別月間となっています。１０月中は脳外傷協会と協会が公認する全米４５の関連団体ができ得る限り多くの地域社会にくり出して、何が必要かを訴え人々の喚起を促します。「今一体何が起こっているのか、受傷後の人生はどうなるのか、そして脳外傷を無くすにはどうすれば良いのか」を語りあうため、全米のあらゆる組織、学校、図書館を訪ねたりグループや場所を探したりします。さらにこの運動を押し進めるため、記事を印刷して配布したり、番組を放送したり、公共の機関から声明を出してもらったりします。 　現在全米に５３０万人の脳外傷が原因の障害者がいます。アメリカだけで１５秒に１回脳外傷事故が起きています。世間に脳外傷問題について教えるため、皆さんの助けを必要としています。協会では脳外傷についての理解を助けるパンフレットやポスターを作りました。またさらに次のサイトで詳細を知ることができます。 http://www.biausa.org/awareness/awareness.htm 　協会ではまた脳外傷に関する新聞記事、公共機関の声明、メディア情報、その他今まで公開されたものをセットにしたものを無償でお分けしています。これは１０月だけでなく、１年を通じて役に立つものです。 　今一度、ようこそ米国脳外傷協会ホームページへ！皆様の又のお越しをお待ちしています。 ジェームズ・Ｓ・ブレイディー −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− Dear Friends, Welcome to www.biausa.org! We are glad you have come to the most comprehensive web site for persons with brain injury and their families. We hope this site provides you with the information you are seeking � and then some! As many of you know, October has been designated national Brain Injury Awareness Month. During the month of October, the Brain Injury Association (BIA) and its chartered state affiliates � 45 across the country -- reach out to the community as much as possible, generating public awareness about what brain injury entails. Organizations around the country visit schools, libraries, scouting groups and other public places to discuss brain injury � what happens, what life is like post-injury and what can be done to prevent it. In addition, media outlets print articles, broadcast stories and run public service announcements to help in furthering the cause. There are currently 5.3 million Americans living with disability caused by brain injury. A brain injury occurs every 15 seconds in the United States alone. We need your help in teaching the public about brain injury. BIA has developed a series of brochures and posters to help describe the scope of brain injury, and you can learn more about them by going to: http://www.biausa.org/awareness/awareness.htm BIA also has a Brain Injury Awareness Kit � full of sample press releases, public service announcements, media tips and other presentation helps � available free of charge. These materials are useful year-round, not just in October. Once again, welcome to the Brain Injury Association! We hope you will visit our web site again soon. James S. Brady

My mother was hit by a car 5 years ago and she has been suffering from the brain injury. I'm always taking care of her. Recently, I opened a private website on brain injury to raise people's awareness. Welfare services for those patiants in Japan is still not enough. So I would like to learn and introduce some articles of your website. First, I would like to translate Mr. James Brady's greeting. Was he the person who got severely injured by a gun shot when he was a presidential secretary? If I could receive your permission for link and translation, I will be very happy. If you are interested in my family's story, I will try to translate it. Hopefully, no accident will happen in this world. Best regards, Miss Misako Ikeda http://www.e-net.or.jp/user/mblu/misa/bi.htm
