深読みしすぎじゃないのかな。 Little Drummer Boy って歌ですよね。 王様が生まれたのでみんなでお祝いを贈ろう。僕は貧しいので贈る物がない。かわりに太鼓を敲きましょう。 the ox and lamb kept time 牡牛と羊が（僕の太鼓に合わせて）調子をとった。ランパンパンパン 太鼓に合わせて調子をとる、全然不自然じゃないと思うが。

- ,his job kept him too busy to...
ＮＨＫラジオ英会話講座より My dad loved model trains when he was a boy. But as an adult, his job kept him too busy to continue. ・・省略・・。・・仕事が忙しくて続けられなかったの。 (質問）[,his job kept him too busy to continue.]についてお尋ねします。 （1）[too..to]が入っているので今一つ、分り難いのですが、次のような[SVOO]の考えでよろしいですか？ a)his job(S) 彼の仕事が b)kept(V) その状態にした。 c)him(O-1) 彼に d)too busy to continue(O-2) 忙しすぎて続けられなかった。 直訳すると「彼の仕事が(a)彼に(c)忙しすぎて続けられない(d)その状態にした(b)。」と考えました。如何でしょうか? （2）[to continue]は不定詞の名詞的用法ですか？ （3）[to continue]をO-2と考えるのか、[too busy to continue]をO-2と考えるのか？分りません。 易しい説明をいただければと、希望します。よろしくお願いいたします。以上

- for the time ever
I am a 68-year-old widow with two grown children, both married, both living nearby. I dearly love babies and baby-sit as much as possible. My son and wife had my first grandson over the summer. My son called me the morning after to invite me to see him, so I did for a few minutes. Then, a few weeks later and a few weeks after that, my son invited me to their home to see the baby again. So I went. When I didn't see the baby for several weeks, I texted my daughter-in-law to ask whether I could see the baby but got no response. I knew she would be going back to work soon, so I asked again. No response. The next thing I knew, my son told me to leave them alone -- that they wanted their privacy. I cried and cried but don't know what happened. He told me to not text or call. This happened around Thanksgiving, when, for the time ever, we didn't spend the holiday together. for the time everとはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

For the rest of the holidays I thought of him as "Basil", and by asking questions and taking more interest than usual in the conversation around me I formed an idea of his private life. "Dorothy," I speculated, "and Basil." I let my mind dwell on them until I saw a picture of the rooms above the shop. I hung round at tea-time and, in order to bring the conversation round to Dorothy and Basil, told our visitors I had been to get my eyes tested. Muriel SparkのThe Dark Glassesからの英文です。 Basilは検眼士です。（DorothyはBasilの姉です） 主人公は15歳ぐらいの女の子です。 ----------------------------------- ●I let my mind dwell on them until I saw a picture of the rooms above the shop.のsaw（see)は「・・・を心に描く」「・・・を想像する」の意味だと思うのですが、imagineとはどのような違いがあるのでしょうか？ ●I hung round at tea-time and, in order to bring the conversation round to Dorothy and Basil, told our visitors I had been to get my eyes tested.の I had been to get my eyes testedは、「検眼をする予定だった」と読むのでしょうか？ be動詞+to不定詞は「予定」の意味ですか？ (なんとなく、すでに検眼を終えてきているので、I had got my eyes testedとしてもいいような気がするのですが。) 前文は She looked at me, then returned to attend to the person in the shop, leaving the intervening door wide open. She was back again almost immediately. My examination was soon over. Mr Simmonds saw me out at the front door and gave me pleading unhappy look. I felt like a traitor and I considered him horrible. となっています。 教えてください。宜しくお願いします。

- song and dance
I recently had my first baby. It is a magical time for me and my husband. My parents, who live relatively close by, were elated by my son’s arrival and are very doting grandparents. My mother and I have had a very rocky history, and I was hopeful that my son could have a relationship with his grandmother, separate from my own issues with her. As she is with everything in my life, my mother is extremely overbearing. She never gives me a compliment and constantly questions and criticizes every decision I make. She is very concerned about appearances, and tries to constantly push her wishes for how to dress and feed my child, etc., on me. I accept and welcome suggestions—but my mother will force her will. She nags, belittles, and insults my decisions until I replace them with her own. She constantly interferes in our decisions. Ignoring her is impossible, as she will nag until you agree to adopt her decision. My father tells me that she is my mother, and although she is very difficult, she will not change, so I must. This has been the song and dance of my whole life. I am tired of having to be the one to roll over just because she won’t change or accept my decisions. ここでのthe song and danceとroll overはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

I doubt if there is my life that I regret more bitterly than I do my frequent failure as aboy to bring delight to my parents by showing them how pleased I was. Time after time, I realize now, I must have brought them bewilderment, dismay, and aching disappointment, by failing to respond adequately to some treat they planned for me. できるだけ詳しく教えていただけると嬉しいです。 よろしくお願い致しますm(_ _)m

I am 32 and have been married to my husband, the love of my life and best friend, for the past five years. A little over a year ago I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and currently only have about six-to-eight months left. This has been very hard, but I am starting to come to terms with the reality of the situation. My husband has been amazingly supportive of me during this time. We have no kids, and as my health has declined, he has sat with me through endless doctor appointments, hospital stays, and sleepless nights. On bad days he even has to help me bathe, and I know this has taken a toll on him. A few weeks ago while using his iPad to watch a movie, an email came in and I discovered he has been having a affair (emotional and sexual) with a co-worker for a few months now. For several days I cried, heartbroken at the betrayal, but now I feel like my husband deserves to have someone help him and support HIM through this emotional time. I have not confronted him about the affair, and were it not for the email and my subsequent snooping, I never would have known as I have not felt him pulling away from me. Do I confront my husband and tell him I understand? That although I am hurt, I forgive him and I don’t want him to feel guilty? That although I am hurtのThatはどのような役割でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

早速のお返事をありがとうございます。 やはり深読みしたくなる歌詞なのです。 この歌詞に登場するKingはキリストのことですよね？ 従ってわざわざ彼が生まれた厩に行き、飼い葉桶の中の救世主に精一杯の贈り物として太鼓を叩くというのはわかるのです。 そのそばに聖母マリアがいるのは良いとして、なんで突然牛と羊が出てきて太鼓に合わせて調子を取ってるのか説明がつきませんよね？ キリストが生まれたのは厩と聞いていますので馬が出てくるならまだわかりますが、牛と羊というのは不自然な感じがします。 父ヨゼフは羊飼いですから、羊はつながりが無い事もないですが家畜を連れて旅もないだろうと思うのです。しかも牛は関係ありません。 確かに厩で馬を飼っていたという記録は無いと思いますが、牛と羊を飼っていたという記録もありません。このころのベツレヘムの民家では一般的に牛と羊を飼っていたということも考えられますが、そう考える根拠が無いのです。
