Then there is the sixth period, which Duvall refers to as the launching period, as the young adults emerge to
become independent in society . Typically, this period involves some degree of support from home-perhaps providing
a home for a child who is away at college during term-time, or providing help with furnishings or a regular
Sunday lunch for a young adult who is independent and working. This period lasts from the time when the first
child leaves , to when the last child leaves home.
The seventh of Duvall's stages is the empty-nest period, when all the children have left and the parents are together
at home . This can be quite a difficult adjustment for some couples , particularly if the children have been the
exclusive focus of attention for most of their time together. Some couples , though ,find it a pleasant relief ,
because it means they can simply enjoy one another's company again. They often begin a number of co-operative
activities that they weren't doing before , such as redecorating, or travelling.
The final period in the family life cycle , described by Duvall, is the retirement period , in which the members
of the partnership who were working are now retired . This , too , can be aperiod of re-adjustment , particularly
if one of the couple has been accustomed to having the house to themselves for most of the day.
最近WHOの発表で話題の、「携帯電話電磁波問題(Cellphone Radiation)」について、ネイテブと話していました。 そこで、ネイテブが「電磁波（electromagnetic radiation)」と「放射線（ionising radiation)」の違いを知らない無い事が発覚しました。
そこで、「いいか、電磁波は、原子や分子を分離させられないけど、放射線にはそれができるんだ。 つまり、、、。」とここまで言って相手が感心している中、、やっぱり、実は自分も「電磁波＝なんか知らんがちょっとしか怖くない。」「放射能＝なんか知らんが、メチャ怖い。」くらいしか詰まるところ知らない事に気が付き、タイトルのセリフを言わざる得ない、「痛い状況」になりました。
After all, I have to admit that I don't really know the difference between them.
だと、妙に堅苦しいですよね？ そして、気のせいか妙に威張り気味の雰囲気も感じるような、、「・・・と認めねばなるまい。」みたいな、、。
カジュアルな言い方を教えてください。

イギリス旅行中に風邪で咳き込んでいるときに、アジア好きのヒッピーネイテブに色々と民間療法の治療法で、ああしろこうしろと言われたので、タイトルのセリフを言って驚かしてみようと思います。 実際に医者ではないので、ジョークだと分かるように言いたいです。
Um... I am a Doctor in Japan. （相手の反応を待って） It's a joke.
気のせいか、、このままいうと白けそうな予感が、、、。 怪しげな民間療法の話題から何となくすり抜けつつ笑いを取りたいのです。 助けてください、、。
言いたいことを英語に出来ません。
なるべく努力しましたが、間違っていたりもっといい表現があれば教えてください。

こんにちは、いつもお世話になります。
By the film’s end many are not who they have seemed to be and the central causes of the initial tragedy are seen as a complex knot of broken people fighting against hopelessness to rediscover the essential things they have lost.
出典：http://www.bloodygoodhorror.com/bgh/reviews/05/06/2011/confessions-kokuhaku
ネタバレアリですが、背景は、以下のURLを見ていただければ分かると思いますが、それぞれの登場人物の生い立ちや、悩みが複雑に結びついて先生の子供の殺害と言う事件に発展した事への解説文です。
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%91%8A%E7%99%BD_(%E6%B9%8A%E3%81%8B%E3%81%AA%E3%81%88)
なので、僕は、このcomplex knotを「複雑な結びつき」と思うのですが、某氏が、「混沌」だと言っています。僕は、日本語として「混沌」は、おかしいと思います。
皆様のご意見をいただけたら幸いです。
自分で考えた英文ですが、合ってますでしょうか？
おかしければ、直していただけますか？
日本語で、
「あなたは試合に勝った後、どんなポーズをとるのが好きですか？」
です。
What is your favorite pose when after you win a match?
この英文を聞いた(読んだ)人は、客席に向かってガッツポーズするとか、
うれしさのあまりダンスをするとか答えると思います。
よろしくお願いします。
