It is rare for a rich person who has amassed a fortune through speculative real-estate ⓐinvestments not to be detested. Mori was a different case. Many Japanese ⓑrecalled Mori as someone who valued his conscience above everything else. This reputation was cemented by his actions during Japan’s bubble ⓒeconomy period. He ⓓhas never conceded his opinion through the 1990s property bubble in Japan. He counseled: "Do not buy any land. Tokyo’s land prices should be reduced by half." He did not care about his shrinking wealth. He himself no longer bought land. A decade later his ⓔprediction was proved correct. Land prices in Tokyo fell dramatically from 10 million yen to 4.5 million yen (about $100,000) per square meter.
ⓐ investments investment ‘investment’가 투자의 의미로 사용될 때에는 셀 수 없는 명사이므로 s삭제
ⓑ recalled recall 과거의 한 시점에 회상한 것이 아니라, 대부분의 일본인들이 일반적으로 ‘~라고’ 회상한다는 의미이므로 현재시제로 수정
ⓒ economy period economy 앞에 이미 특정 기간을 나타내는 during이 사용되었으므로, 중복되는 의미인 period 삭제
ⓓ has never conceded never conceded 과거에 Mori가 소신을 굽히지 않았음을 말하고 있으므로 과거시제로 수정. 참고로 Mori는 이미 고인이 되었으므로 현재완료형이 적합하지 않음
ⓔ prescience prediction ‘예상’이라는 의미의 어휘는 prediction. 참고로 prescience는 ‘예지력, 선견지명’ 등 앞을 내다볼 수 있는 ‘능력’을 나타낼 때 사용됨

요즘 치솟는 환율에도 불구하고 사상 최대의 한국 관광객이 롯폰기 힐스를 찾는다는 소식이다. 휘황찬란한 외관에만 마음 뺏기지 말고 모리라는 인물도 한 번쯤 느껴보았으면 한다. 사실 부동산이라면 우리가 오히려 일본보다 한 수 위다. 뉴타운 공약에 총선 판도가 뒤집어지고, “땅을 사랑한다”는 고위 공직자도 나오는 나라다. ‘강부자(강남 땅부자) 정권’이란 말 한마디로 정부 지지율마저 맛이 갈 정도다. 이쯤 되면 한국만 한 부동산 공화국도 없다. 그런데도 왜 ‘한국판 모리’는 영 나올 기미가 없는 걸까.
내가 한 영작
Recently the number of Korean tourists visiting Roppongi Hills ⓐwas increased to unprecedented levels despite foreign exchange woes. I hope that Koreans will bring home new insights ⓑinto Mori, not just fascination ⓒby the bright lit streets. In fact, Korea is second to none in the field of real estate. I also hope that ⓓKorean Mori will be born in the near future.

Recently the number of Korean tourists visiting Roppongi Hills has increased to unprecedented levels despite foreign exchange woes. I hope that Koreans will bring home new insights from Mori, not just fascination from the brightly lit streets. In fact, Korea is second to none in the field of real estate. I also hope that a Korean Mori will be born in the near future.
