こんにちは。10/28のご質問以来ですね。 ご質問: <andで困る> おっしゃる通り、andは意外と厄介な接続詞なのです。語、句、節、文、実に大小いろいろな接続をします。 1.andを使いこなすポイントは、andの「等位接続詞」という性質に注目することです。 2.andは、語と語、句と句、節と節など、同じ「位」の働きを「等位」に接続します。 3.従って、品詞でも、名詞と名詞、副詞と副詞、というように、同じ働きの品詞同士を接続します。 4.では、どの品詞同士を接続しているかを見分けるにはどうすればいいか。それはまず、andの後にある語を見ます。 5.ご質問文では、andの後にdeliverという動詞がきています。従って、このandはこの「動詞」と、その前にある「動詞」を等位接続していることがわかります。 6.andの前にある唯一の動詞、それはhearになります。hearはcasesという目的語を携えて「審理をする」という動詞+目的語の動詞句になっています。 7.すると、and以降の動詞+目的語という同じ働きをする動詞句、つまりdeliver sentences「判決を下す」という動詞句と等位接続になっていることがわかるのです。 8.つまり、A and BのA=deliver sentencesで、B=deliver sentencesとなり、solely for children「子供のためだけに」という前置詞句は、A、B両方の動詞句にかかるということになります。 9.では何故andの後にto不定詞がないのかというと、solely for children「子供のためだけに」という前置詞句がA、B両方の動詞句にかかっているためです。 つまり、この前置詞句solely for childrenがA、B2つの動詞句にかかることを示すために、to不定詞をひとつだけにして、2つの動詞句をまとめる働きをしているのです。 10.もしto不定詞が2つあると、同じ意味にするためには、前置詞句を重複しなくてはなりません。 例: to hear cases and deliver sentences solely for children =to hear cases solely for children and to deliver sentences solely for children これは、to不定詞はその修飾部を全てまとめて引き受ける役割があるからです。つまり、to hear cases andとしてしまうと、toの及ぶ範囲がcasesまでとなってしまい、solely for childrenとは無関係になってしまうのです。 11.ここでは、前置詞句solely for childrenの反復を避けるために、to不定詞を一つだけ置いて、A、Bの動詞+目的語だけをまとめているのです。 12.そしてA and B+前置詞句をまとめるto不定詞は、前の名詞The first court にかかる形容詞的用法の不定詞として働いているのです。 13.つまり、The first court~for childrenまでは、動詞句で形容修飾された名詞として、主文全体の主語になっているのです。 14.その動詞はwas established「設立された」という受け身の動詞になります。 15.ちなみに、howeverは「しかしながら」という文と文を等位接続する接続詞で、文頭、文中、文末にくることができ、同じ意味になります。 16.以上を踏まえて訳例は (直訳)「しかしながら、子供のためだけに、審理をしたり判決を下すための、最初の法廷は、1899年シカゴに設立された」 → (意訳)「しかしついに、児童に限定して審理や判決を行う最初の法廷が、1899年シカゴに設立された」 ぐらいになります。 以上ご参考までに。

The first court to hear cases and deliver sentences solely for children , however, was established in 1899 in Chicago. こうする(分解)と判り易くなります。 However,the first court 1) to hear cases 2) and 3) to deliver sentences solely for children, 4) was established in 1899 in Chicago. 3) の「to」は共通項として自動的に省略されています。

回答No.2

The first court to hear cases and deliver sentences solely for children のように,不定詞の原形 hear ~と deliver ~が and でつながれています。 といっても,to hear ~ and to deliver ということでなく, hear cases and deliver ~のように「審理をして判決を下す」で一連の動作となっています。 to (hear cases and deliver ~) この不定詞は court を修飾する形容詞用法です。 そして,the first court が主語となり,was established という述語につながっていきます。

The first court was established in 1899 in Chicago.が、文の骨格です。 to hear cases and deliver sentences solely for children は、The first court の形容詞節。 The first court to hear cases solely for childrenで、子供のためだけに事件を審理する最初の法廷が設立された。 The first court to deliver sentences solely for childrenで、子供のためだけに判決を下す最初の法廷が設立された。 二つに分けると The first court to hear cases solely for children was established in 1899 in Chicago.

    It is now generally accepted that the child's reading ability progresses through several periods of reading development. The first period, known as "reading readiness," begins at birth and continues normally until the age of about six or seven. Reading readiness includes the physical ability to see and hear, and the mental ability to remember words and their letters, and to use simple sentences. In the second period of reading development, children learn to read very simple materials. In the United States, children usually will be able to read perhaps 300 or 400 words by the end of the first year. By the end of this period., pupils are expected to be reading and enjoying simple books by themselves without help from teachers or parents.

First-born children receive all of their parents' attention until a new child is born. Only children receive this attention all through their lives. Both kinds of children have close relationships with their parents and try to make them happy. First-born children try hard to be successful,and they often get professional jobs. Only children also try to be perfect at everything. They are usually responsible and reliable. Sometimes,however,they become selfish. Twenty-one of the first twenty-threeU.S. astronauts were first-born or only children.

    One of the problems English-speaking children have to sort out when they're learning complex sentences is which way round things go. Take these four cases. 1. Mary laughed, as the clock struck three. 2. As the clock struck three, Mary laughed. 3. The clock struck three, as Mary laughed. 4. As Mary laughed,the clock struck three. Whatis the child to make of this? Do these sentences mean the same thing, or not? You and I know that, apartfrom slight differences in emphasis,there's no change in meaning. Children should be able to work this out for themselves in a fairly short time. In fact, sentences like these are all learned during the pre-school years, but not at the same time. Children seem to find 1 easier than 2, and 3 easier than 4, and thus say 1 and 3 earlier. Why is this ? Basically because children like to have the is main point in a sentence said first.In 1 and 2, "Mary laughing" is the main point (the "main clause" in the sentence, grammar books would say).In 3 and i, "the clock striking" is the main point. Putting first the less important point(the "subordinate clause," which always begins with the connecting word)is something they prefer to do later. These sentences don't present much of a problem because the meaning is the same each time. However, other connecting words which express time are much more difficult to sort out --- before and after,in particular. Let's begin with before, which is fairly straight forward. Mary laughed, before the clock struck three. Before the clock struck three, Mary laughed. So far, so good. You'd expect children to learn the first before the second, on the above principle. Now let's turn to after. Mary laughed, after the clock struck three. After the clock struck three, Mary laughed. Here a complication sets in. You'd expect children to have no trouble with the first of these, because "Mary laughing" comes first, and that's the main clause. But they do have trouble. You can try this experiment on pre-school children,to show thatthere's a problem. What they have to do is carry out your instructions in the order you say. Start with an easy sequence. "Touch your nose and then touch your tummy." Do a few of these, so that the child gets the idea. Then switch to after. "Touch your nose after you touch yourtummy." You'll find that the children will still touch their nose first, even though, your sentence asked them to touch their tummy first. That's the trouble with after, when it comes in the second part of the sentence It's the second thing that's said butthe first thing that happens.It's a back-to- front way of saying things. And, not surprisingly, children don't much like it They assume that the first thing that's said happens first;the second thing that's said happens second. They follow the order in which you mention things. Now look at this sentence the other way round: "After you touch your tummy,touch your nose." This is much easierfor children to cope with. The order ofthe clauses corre- spends to the order of events, so that's all right. However, you'll notice that the main clause doesn't come first, so some children will still find this slightly compli- cated.
