 ra0101190 全訳例
  言葉というものには日常生活の中で非常に慣れ親しんでいるので、それを定義
 しようなどと考えることはめったにない。それは人間にとって歩くことと同じよ
 うに自然なものであり、自然さということでは、呼吸に劣るだけであるかのよう
 に思える。しかし、ほんの少し考えるだけで、言葉のこのような自然さは錯覚に
 しか過ぎないことが納得できる。言葉を身につける過程は、実際には、歩くこと
 が出来るようになる過程とは、全く異なった種類のものなのである。後者の機能
 (つまり歩くということ)の場合、文化、言い換えれば昔からの社会的習慣は大
 した役割を果たしていない。子供は、生物学的遺伝と呼ばれる一連の複雑な要素
 をそれぞれが備え持っており、歩くのに必要な筋肉と神経の調整を全て行って歩
 けるようになる。まさに本当の意味で、普通の人間は歩くように運命付けられて
 いる。それは、年上の者達が子供が歩き方を学ぶのを手伝うからではなく、生ま
 れた時から、いや受胎の瞬間から、歩くことにつながる全ての神経エネルギーと
 筋肉の調整を行うように身体の組織が準備されているからなのだ。つまり、歩く
 というのは人間の持つ遺伝的な、生物学的機能なのである。
