日語教育之終極目標在於跨文化溝通能力之培育。村上春樹是一位在台灣極有人氣的作家，日語學習者應該有不少人閱讀其作品。從閱讀中，日語學習者可以得到怎樣的收穫？身為日語教師的一員，筆者覺得頗感興趣。究竟村上春樹的異文化觀是什麼呢？本論文擬以『雪梨!』為文本加以考察，並思考其對日語教育的啟示。村上春樹的『雪梨!』是一本寫實的作品。乃是整理村上春樹2000年雪梨奧運23天的採訪見聞所編輯而成的。奧運的見聞記為何卻命名為『雪梨!』？文章內容分為訪問、日誌、訪問三個部份，為何訪問對象僅限於馬拉松選手？為何有關雪梨的社會情況及澳洲的歷史、風土的相關內容比奧運的篇幅多？究竟村上春樹的奧運觀及異文化觀之內涵為何？本論文擬透過『雪梨』的考察加以探討，並思考其對日語教育的啟示

The final purpose of Japanese language education is to train cultural exchange capability of students. In Taiwan, Haruki Murakami is a very popular writer. And, his works should be read by the Japanese students. After students read Haruki Murakami's work, what kind of profit is obtained? I am interested in that as one of Japanese teachers. What is Haruki Murakami's cultural view? In this paper, Haruki Murakami's cultural view will be clarified by ＂Sydney!＂, and the suggestion to Japanese language education can be considered. Haruki Murakami covered 23 days of the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. And “Sydney!＂ is a summary of its contents. Why record of personal experiences of the Olympic Games were either in the name ＂Sydney!＂? ＂Sydney!＂ is divided into three parts: interview, diary, interview, but why Haruki Murakami only interviewed marathoner? In part of the diary, why the contents of the social circumstances of Sydney and the culture and history of Australia are more than sports? What is the cross-cultural view of Haruki Murakami? What is the Olympic view of Haruki Murakami? In this paper, I will clarify it in the text ＂Sydney!＂, and consider the implications for Japanese language education
