Why Chapter 10 is Absolutely Mind-Blowing: You’re Seriously Missing Out if You Don’t Know This
ぶっちゃけ言いますと、第10章は別格です。
ここでイシグロが見せる「記憶の操作技術」は、TOEIC Reading Part 7の推論問題、大学院入試の英語長文、そして国際会議でのプレゼンで、圧倒的な差を生む技術の宝庫。
記憶と現実を巧妙に混在させる表現は、聞く人を「この人、英語のセンス半端ないかも」と思わせる最強の武器になります。
Let me be brutally honest. Chapter 10 is on another level entirely.

Expressions that skillfully blend memory and reality become the ultimate weapon that makes listeners think “This person’s English sense is absolutely incredible.”

第10章の神技：現実と記憶を混ぜる技術
Chapter 10’s Divine Skill: The Art of Blending Reality and Memory
記憶操作の核心【TOEIC Part 7攻略の秘密兵器】
The Core of Memory Manipulation: Secret Weapon for TOEIC Part 7 Strategy
第10章で最もヤバいのは、悦子の記憶が現実と混同し始める描写。
これ、実はTOEICの推論問題で最頻出のパターンなんです。
記憶操作のコア（これ覚えとこ）:
- Recollection (記憶・回想) – “My recollection of that day remains vivid”
- Perception (認識) – “My perception of events may have been colored”
- Hindsight (後知恵) – “In hindsight, the signs were obvious”
- Reconstruction (再構築) – “Mental reconstruction of past events”
What’s most insane about Chapter 10 is the depiction of Etsuko’s memories beginning to blend with reality. This is actually the most frequent pattern in TOEIC inference questions.
Core memory manipulation vocabulary (memorize this):
- Recollection (記憶・回想) – “My recollection of that day remains vivid”
- Perception (認識) – “My perception of events may have been colored”
- Hindsight (後知恵) – “In hindsight, the signs were obvious”
- Reconstruction (再構築) – “Mental reconstruction of past events”
第10章の記憶技術分解
Deconstructing Chapter 10’s Memory Techniques
1. 時制ブレンド（これが最強）
Tense Blending Technique: This is the Ultimate
イシグロが第10章で見せるチート級テクニック：
実例分析：
“I remember thinking—or perhaps I think now that I was thinking then—that she seemed unusually quiet” 「私は考えていたことを覚えている—あるいは今、当時そう考えていたと思っているのかもしれないが—彼女は異常に静かに見えた」
この文のヤバさ：
- 現在の記憶 vs 過去の実際 の区別を曖昧にする
- “or perhaps I think now” で記憶の不確実性を表現
- 二重の時制構造で読者を混乱させる（良い意味で）
The cheat-level technique Ishiguro displays in Chapter 10:
Example Analysis:
“I remember thinking—or perhaps I think now that I was thinking then—that she seemed unusually quiet”
The insanity of this sentence:
- Blurs distinction between current memory vs past reality
- “or perhaps I think now” expresses uncertainty of memory
- Double tense structure confuses readers (in a good way)
2. 記憶の信頼性クエスチョン
Questioning Memory Reliability
記憶の曖昧さを英語で表現する神技：
- 確実: “I remember clearly that…”
- 曖昧: “I have a vague recollection that…”
- 超曖昧: “Something tells me that… though I cannot say with certainty…”
- イシグロ級: “What I took to be memory might well have been imagination dressed in memory’s clothes”
Divine technique for expressing memory ambiguity in English:
- Certain: “I remember clearly that…”
- Vague: “I have a vague recollection that…”
- Super vague: “Something tells me that… though I cannot say with certainty…”
- Ishiguro level: “What I took to be memory might well have been imagination dressed in memory’s clothes”

推論問題の新次元攻略法
Next-Dimension Strategy for Inference Questions
第10章の技術を使えば、TOEIC Part 7の推論問題が余裕になります。
従来の解き方: 文章を読む → 直接的な手がかりを探す → 答える
第10章式解き方: 文章を読む → 書かれていないことを推測 → 記憶と現実の混同パターンを識別 → 確信を持って答える
実例（よくあるTOEIC問題）: “The speaker mentions feeling ‘somewhat uncertain’ about the decision.”
従来の理解: 話し手は決定について少し不安だった 第10章式理解: 話し手は現在その決定を振り返って不安を感じており、当時も不安だったと記憶を再構築している可能性がある
Using Chapter 10 techniques makes TOEIC Part 7 inference questions easy.
Conventional approach: Read passage → Look for direct clues → Answer
Chapter 10 approach: Read passage → Infer what’s not written → Identify memory-reality confusion patterns → Answer with confidence
Example (common TOEIC question): “The speaker mentions feeling ‘somewhat uncertain’ about the decision.”
Conventional understanding: The speaker was a bit anxious about the decision Chapter 10 understanding: The speaker currently feels anxious looking back at the decision and may be reconstructing memory to believe they were anxious then too

Future A: Continue ordinary English learning as is → Result: Ordinary English ability, ordinary life
Future B: Master Chapter 10’s memory manipulation techniques
→ Result: Acquire linguistic superpowers that freely control your life
Which choice will you be proud of in 10 years?
If you’re going to act, it’s right now.
サマリー
Summary
Bloody hell, Chapter 10’s where Ishiguro really shows his cards, innit?
This Chapter 10 is completely in the realm of psychology. The technique of intentionally blurring the boundary between memory and reality—this is the culmination of Ishiguro’s true genius. Watching Etsuko’s narration transform from mere reminiscence to psychological reconstruction is truly the pinnacle of literary synthesis.
What’s particularly striking is how to express doubts about memory reliability in English. This is a conclusively important skill that teaches “reality perception techniques” beyond mere language learning. Learning critical thinking skills necessary for modern society through literature in English—there’s no more practical learning than this.
For English learners, this chapter provides the resolution of memory expression—that is, confidence that any complex psychological state can be expressed in English. A truly valuable learning experience.
