所有代名詞 http://www.eibunpou.net/03/chapter7/7_3.html This purse is mine, not yours. のmineやyoursと一緒です。(後ろに名詞は伴わないよね、「代名詞」なんだし) 一方で theirはmyやyourと一緒です This is your purse. (yourだけで止めたりしませんよね？) 言い文が思いつかなかったんでこの辺から借りるけど (It's )Our Media,not theirs. http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/1583225498

theirsは、 I（私は）―my（私の）―me（私を）―mine（私のもの）でいえば、mineにあたるところです。 すなわちtheirsは「彼らのもの」になり、theirsだけで名詞的な働きをするのです。 ex) That ball is theirs. (このボールは彼らのです。） 英文法の基礎中の基礎だと思います。 私もＴＯＥＩＣを時々受けますが、文法問題もいくつか出題されていますので、文法書で学ぶことをお薦めします。

theirsが名詞だと考えれば簡単に解決できますね まだまだ初心者ですので非常にありがたい回答でした ありがとうございました

大学の予習なんですが、和訳お願いします。 It comes as a shock to find that almost the only part of Zimbabwe's Government still functioning is the health system in the country's remote, deprived rural areas. It functions so well, syas Victor Nyamandi, a senior Health Ministry official for the Makoni district 170 kilometres (105 miles) east of the capital, Harare, that the monitoring system ensures that tuberculosis medication is taken by every patient to whom it is prescribed. Cholera has been kept away from the district's 300,000 people, who live in scattered villages connected by rutted tracks in the rolling landscape, for seven years. They have not seen a case of measles for more than three years. Measles immunisation days in any part of the district receive a 90 per cent attendance. Even the white-robed, crook-wielding Vapostori(Apostolic) sect, whose religion abhors, Western medicine, are having their children immunised. "It's undoubtedly the best health structure in Africa," said the paediatrician Greg Powell, chairman of the Zimbabwe Child Protection Society. It was functioning in the bush far better than in the urban areas, where hospitals have been overwhelmed by national infrastuctural failure, he added. The system could not work without a highly mobile corps of dedicated health workers who stay in constant contact with rural communities, using a fleet of tough, reliable motorbikrs. "Three quarters of the ministry's vehicles are managed by Riders for Health," Mr Nyamandi said. "They are the key to our success. We cannot do without them." Starting before independence in 1980, and accelerating dramatically afterwards, health autherities created a unique and almost self-contained system of primary preventive healthcare among the country's unsophisticated rural communities, which had been devastated regularly by disease. It comprises a constantly reinforced basic education programme that drives home to nearly every village a recognition of common diseases and their symptoms, the simple steps to prevent them (such as building safe wells and the remarkable Blair toilet, a simple brick structure, named after the state laboratory that designed it, with a deep pit and built-in fly trap, that has wiped out faeces-bearing flies all over the country), a limited range of treatments, and a nutritious diet to strengthen their immune systems. The education is so thorough and simple that it needs outside control only in serious cases and is run virtually by the villagers alone. "When we are not there, our backs are covered," Mr Nyamandi said. "They are quite conscious of their health." The bottom rung of the system's infrastructure comprises thousands of unpaid volunteers drilled in a limited range of specific, simple tasks---home-based care givers who wash Aids sufferers, "chloroquine holders" who hand out malarial prophylactics at the correct intervals, village health workers with basic treatment skills keeping records of illnesses and symptoms, village Aids action committees staging cautionary plays about husbands visiting prostitutes, and garden clubs that grow nutritious foods. The key to their success is their link with the outside world - the environmental health technician(EHT), who is responsible for bringing a steady supply of essential drugs, cement for building lavatories, and the constant surveillance of suspected disease outbreaks. The position also involves mobilising mothers for the immunisation of their children, raising awareness of HIV, and acting as the villagers'principal teacher. Motorbikes were introduced in the 1980s so that the EHTs could move between villages and to the nearest hospital. After 1998, when the country's economic crisis began. the repair and replacement of motorbikes by the Government evaporated, and the rural health system began to stumble.

On 11 January 1915, the commander of the British Mediterranean Squadron, Vice Admiral S. H. Carden proposed a plan for forcing the Dardanelles using battleships, submarines and minesweepers. On 13 February, the British War Council approved the plan and Carden was given more pre-dreadnought battleships, the modern battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth and the battlecruiser HMS Inflexible. France contributed a squadron including four pre-dreadnoughts and the Russian navy provided the light cruiser Askold. In early February 1915, the naval forces were supplemented by contingents of Royal Marines and the 29th Division, the last uncommitted regular division, which joined Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac) divisions training in Egypt. The infantry were intended for the occupation of Constantinople after the straits had been taken by the Entente navies. In August 1914, the Outer Defences were two fortresses at the end of the Gallipoli peninsula and two on the Asiatic shore. The forts had 19 guns, four with a range of 9 mi (14 km) and the remainder with ranges of 3.4–4.5 mi (5.5–7.2 km). Four field howitzers were dug in at Tekke Burnu (Cape Tekke) on the European side, then for the next 10 mi (16 km), there was a gap until the Intermediate Defences at Kephez Point, with four defensive works on the south shore and one on the north shore. The fortresses had been built to cover a minefield, which in August 1914 was a line of mines across the strait from Kephez Point to the European shore. Fort Dardanos was the main work which had two new 6-inch naval guns and the rest contained ten small Quick-firing guns with shields. At the Narrows, the Inner Defences had the heaviest guns and some mobile light howitzers and field guns. Five forts had been built on the European side and six on the Asian side with 72 heavy and medium guns. Most of the artillery was obsolescent but there were five long-range 14 in (360 mm) guns with a range of 9.7 mi (15.6 km) and three 9.4 in (240 mm) guns with a 8.5 mi (13.7 km) range. The remainder of the guns in the Inner Defences were mostly obsolete and unable to shoot beyond 5.7 mi (9.2 km). Of the 100 guns in the pre-war defences, only 14 were modern long-range pieces, the rest being old-fashioned breech loaders on fixed carriages. The gunners were poorly trained, there was little ammunition and scant prospect of replacement. Night illumination consisted of a searchlight at entrance to the Straits and one at the Narrows. The forts were easily visible, there were few gun shields and other protective features for the gun-crews and range-finding, artillery observation and fire-control depended on an telephones linked by wire on telephone poles, vulnerable to artillery-fire. The Ottoman official historian wrote, On mobilisation, the fortification and armament of the Dardanelles was very inadequate. Not only were the majority of the guns of old pattern, with a slow rate of fire and short range, but their ammunition supply was also limited. — Ottoman Official History
