1946, 織田作之助, 大阪の憂鬱, 青空文庫:
- 最近大阪の闇市場では「警戒警報」「空襲警報」という言葉が囁かれている。しかし戦争中の話をしているのではない、警察の手入れのことを「警報」という隠語で伝達しているのである。どんなに極秘にされた抜打ちの手入れでも、事前に洩れる。
- Saikin Ōsaka no yamīchiba de wa “keikai keihō”“kūshū keihō” to iu kotoba ga sasayakarete iru. Shikashi sensōchū no hanashi o shite iru no de wa nai, keisatsu no teire no koto o “keihō” to iu ingo de dentatsu shite iru no de aru. Donna ni gokuhi ni sareta nukiuchi no teire de mo, jizen ni moreru.
- Recently, in Osaka's black market, people have been whispering the words “precautionary alert” and “air-raid alert”. But they are not talking about the war; they are informing each other of police raids using the code word “alert”. No matter how top secret a surprise raid is, information about it leaks beforehand.
