価格、約3倍 　　Price, approximately 3 times

10年ほど前にギタークラブが購入した音楽の本（楽譜・CD付、\2,500）の価格が3倍弱（\7,536）になっており、驚きました。

最近の諸物価の上昇には慣れた？といっても3倍弱は大きいです。

防衛策は個人使用でのコピーしかありません。

ところで、

最近の物価上昇や日本人全体の賃金停滞などには関係がないかのように、10年ほど日銀総裁だった黒田氏は目標も達成できなかったにもかかわらず、彼の自分の金融政策は失敗ではない、と言い放ちました。しかし、成功ではないのも確実です。

彼は素晴らしくノー天気な人のようです。

I was surprised to see that the price of a music book (with sheets of music and CD, 2,750 yen) purchased by the guitar club about 10 years ago has now been a little less than tripled (7,536 yen).
We may have become accustomed to the recent increase (?) in various prices, but about three times is still too big.
The only of defense is to copy them for personal use.

By the way,
Mr. Kuroda, who has been the BOJ governor for about 10 years, could not even achieve his target, but went on to say that his monetary policy was not a failure, as if the recent rising prices and stagnant wages for the Japanese people as a whole had nothing to do with him. But it is also certain that it is not a success, either.

He looks to be a surprisingly happy-go-lucky person.
