the third time being the lawyer.

NHKラジオ英会話講座より・・・2回に分けて質問いたします!! Dennis:What does your cousin, Bert the lawyer, know about the third time being the charm,John? Sue:To be a Lawyer, you have to pass the bar exam, right? John:Year, and it was a real struggle for him. Bert is very cleaver in his way, but he was never big on what hecalls "book learning." デニス:弁護士をしている君の従兄弟のバートがいう3度目の正直ってどういうことなんだい。 スー:弁護士になるには、司法試験に合格しなくてはいけないんでしょう? ジョン:ああ、そして、彼にとってそれは本当に大変だった。バートは彼なりにとても頭がいいんだけど、彼はいわゆる「机上の学問」が大好きなわけではなかったからね。 (質問)To be a Lawyer, you have to pass the bar exam, right?について教えて下さい。 (1)To be a lawyerの[To be]は不定詞の副詞的用法ですね? (2)You have to pass the bar exam to be a lawyer.と書き換えできますね? (3)どうして[to be a lawyer]を前面に出したのでしょうか? He was never big on what he calls "book learning."について教えて下さい。 (4)直訳すると「彼は机上の学問と呼ぶことが決して大好きではなかった」と訳してみました。テキストとは、訳の違いを感じます。callの訳し方にヒントがあるように感じます。アドバイスをお願いいたします。以上

(1)はい (2)はい (3)会話ですから、この部分がまず口をついて出たのでは。普通の文なら強調ということにもなるかもしれませんが。回答になってないですね・・・ (4)これは自信を持って書きますが、what he calls の部分は挿入されていると考えて括弧でくくってください。 He was never big on (what he calls) "book learning." 「彼が言うところの『机上の学問』」です。
