この英文の訳を教えてください。
A growing number of experts argue that economic growth may be more dependent on a state of mind rather than on the traditional factors,such as welfare spending and labor market regulation.
While"state of mind"is an admittedly vague concept, it broadly includes attitudes of people towards business, work, and risk-taking.
In other words, people's mentality plays probably an even more important role than the government policy.
Edmund Phelps, a renowned American economist, discovered in 2006 that these attitude - as measured by international surveys - are much more powerful in explaining the differences in countries' actual economic performance than the date economists had looked at previously.
Ｔhe implications of these findings are significant. If the population attaches little importance to entrepreneurshipb , the majority will be reluctant to start their own companies or engage in the innovative, yet risky business activities.
So, the governments are taking notice and trying to implement a range of policy options to address this situation.
Mark Fuller, who advises governments on economic policy, claims that one of the most effective ways to boost innovation and encourage people to take risks is to use education to improve the cultural value of going into business.
The government of Denmark, for example, has ordered a revision of the curricula for primary and secondary school to focus more on creativity and entrepreneurship.
Denmark also took steps to reform its bankruptcy law to lessen the shame associated with business failure.
In France, critics have long complained that the current education system trains the young to be suspicious of business.
The French Education Ministry has requested areview of textbooks, seeking to improve economic knowledge and attitudes towards business.
It is too early to say whether this theory will affect the way we conduct business transactions in the future - published research on the subject is still quiete limited.
What is certain, though , is that a nation's economic performance cannot be considered in isolation from the attitudes and preferences common among its citizens.
Encouraging people to work hard is not simply a matter of dollars and cents- it is a much more complex process involving cultural norms, social rules, and educational values.

4,000 officers search for suspect who fled during questioning
About 4,000 police officers continued the hunt Wednesday for an alleged rapist who escaped from the prosecutor’s office in Kawasaki the previous day.
Yuta Sugimoto, 20 of Tama Ward in Kawasaki, has been placed on the national wanted list. He was arrested Monday on suspicion, along with another man, of violently robbing a woman in the city’s Asao Ward after having confined her for a couple of hours in a car on Jan.2. They allegedly took \150,000 in cash from the woman. Sugimoto was arrested on suspicion of robbery, confinement and sexual assault.
According to the Kanagawa Prefectural Police, Sugimoto bolted from an interrogation room on the sixth floor of the Kawasaki branch of the Yokohama District Prosecutor’s Office at around 2:15 p.m. Tuesday.
Police said a witness saw Sugimoto with his friend in Kawasaki on Wednesday. Other media reports said he is likely to be using a white motor scooter provided by his friend.
Police have tightened security at schools in Kawasaki, where pupils arrived Wednesday morning in groups. Police and teachers were alerting children at Miyamae Elementary School adjacent to the prosecutor’s office who arrived at school before 8 a.m.
Police found the sweatshirt Sugimoto was wearing during the interrogation Tuesday in garden of a house about 100 meters from the prosecutors’ office. They speculate that Sugimoto changed clothes while on the run.
“I’m really worried and I try to make sure all the doors and windows are locked more than usual,” said a man in his 40s, who took his two sons to school before heading to work. “I don’t want (the kids) to go outside in the evening.”
Meanwhile, a woman in her 20s who dropped her daughter off to a nearby kindergarten expressed anxiety, saying: ”How long is this uncertainty going to last?”
The police carried out the manhunt using about 900 patrol cars, helicopters and boats.
Police described Sugimoto as an unemployed man about 167 cm tall and weighing about 64 kg. During questioning, he was wearing a white sweatshirt and navy blue sweatpants. Sugimoto fled in his socks, leaving behind his sandals in the interrogation room, police said.
Sugimoto reportedly removed a rope tied around his waist, pushed aside a senior officer in his 50s attending the interrogation and fled in the direction of the Tama River. Police said the rope had been loosened by the officer for a toilet break and speculated it might have been retied too loosely.
According to the police, Sugimoto claimed the rope was too loose and made his move when the senior officer stood behind him to check. He was meeting a lawyer when he escaped.
liveなどの状態動詞ではなく動作動詞の場合は、現在完了形は動作がすでに終わっている場合に使い、完了進行形は動作が完了していない場合に使うものだと理解しております。
workの場合は文脈によりますが
通例ほぼ毎日働くものである場合は完了形で継続を表すことができますが、
宿題などの場合はやり終えた場合は完了形を使い、過去からやっていて今なお完了しておらず継続する予定であれば完了進行形を使います。
しかし、ビートルズのA hard days night.の歌詞にある
It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog.
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log.
と言う箇所が疑問です。
I've been working like a dog.
であれば「馬車馬のように働いたよ（まだ仕事が終わらないんだ）。」と言うふうに感じます。
次に続くフレーズを考えると、「馬車馬のように働いたよ。（仕事は終わったけど、ものすごい激務だったんでくたくたなんだ）」と言う意味になる、と思うのですが、その場合は完了進行形ではなく完了形を使うことによって動作が完了したことを表現する必要があるのではないでしょうか?
英文の和訳で困っています。 和訳を教えていただきたいです。 よろしくお願いします！！
The sanctuary was largely reconstructed after the earthquake of AD 62 and was fully functional at the time of the eruption :the excavators of 1764 recorded finding ashes and fragments of burned bones lying on the altar.
Sockets in the stylobate show that there were doors or screens between the columns by which the view from the portico to the central court could be controlled.
Nevertheless, the cult continued to benefit from the official statues it had been given before the foundation of the Sullan colony, and became even modish even under Vespasian.
Both the pronaos and the cella are unusually wide in proportion to their depth, and a staircase running up against the south wall gave direct access to the cella without being seen by the spectators in the eastern portico.

A painting of the marriage of Hercules and Hebe found in the oecus of the House of the Wedding of Hercules gives a vivid impression of a festival at the Temple of Venus: the doors of the temple have been opened to reveal the cult statue standing inside, bedecked with jewellery, flanked by smaller statues of Priapus and Cupid.
It was destroyed together with the temple in the earthquake of AD 62, and rebuilding had not progressed far by the time of the eruption.
By contrast, the Temple of Isis had a much smaller precinct intended to serve a more intimate community of initiates, and it was hidden from public view by a high wall flanking the south side of the via del Tempio di Iside.
The porticoes surrounding these, temples were large enough to accommodate many participants in the cult festivals.
The aim of the physician in the treatment of insanity is to bring the means at his command to bears, directly or indirectly,on the disordered nerve element.But,in striving to do this,he soon learns with how many bodily organs and fuctions he has really to do. To call mind a function of the brain may lead to much misapprehention,if it be thereby supposed that the brain is the only organ which is concerned in the function of mind.There is not an organ in the body which is not in intimate relation with the brain by means of its paths of nervous communication,which has not ,so to speak,a special correspondence with it through internuncial fibres,and which does not,therefore affect more or less plainly and specially its[its=the brain's]function as an
organ of mind.It is not merely that apalpitating heart may cause anxiety and apprehension,or a disordered liver[may cause]gloomy feelings,but there are reasons to believe that each organ has its specific influence on the constitution and function of mind:an influence not yet to be set forth scientifically,because it is exerted on that unconscious mental life which is the basis of all that we consciously feel and think. Were the heart of one man to be placed in the body of another it would probably make no difference in the circulation of the blood,but it make a real difference in the temper of his mind.So close is the physiological sympathy of parts in the commonwealth of the body that it is necessary in the physiological study of mind to regard it as a function of the whole organism,as comprehending the whole bodily life.
仕事で見積もりをお願いしたいのですが、下記の英文で日本語通りの意味が表現されているか教えて頂きたいです。
日：「下記アイテムの見積もりをして頂きたいです。」
英：「We would like you to quote the following item.」
「quote」には「引用する」という意味もあるので、上の英文ですと「下記アイテムを引用して頂きたい」とも解釈出来、意味がよく分からなくなってしまいますでしょうか？
見積もり依頼の締めによく使う「We would like you to quote your best price.」のように、
「quote（見積もる）」は「price」など価格や金額を表す単語を動詞の目的語としなくてはなりませんか。

英語の達人の方に、overという前置詞について英語で質問です。
I found a sentence in an English workbook printed in Japan.
" A plane is flying over the sky."
How do you interpret this "over" in this sentence?
If this "over" means "above", the plane is in the space and then the plane can't fly unless it is an artificial satellite or an flying saucer.
If it means " across", you can very hardly see the plane because the plane is about to go to the opposiｔe side of the horizon.
Do you think the use of "over" in this sentence is appropriate?
