help +Oの次の形について

次の文を下のように言い換えられるのでしょうか？ Parents should help their children become independent. 1) Parents should help their children in order to become independent. 2)Parents should help their children so that they can become independent. いずれの場合も子供たちが「何をする」のを手助けすのかが言ってないのでおかしいような気がするのですが、いかがでしょうか？

＞次の文を下のように言い換えられるのでしょうか？ Parents should help their children become independent. この文では原形不定詞の意味上の主語はtheir children だと用意に分かりますね。「子供達が自立する」の関係です。 (1) Parents should help their children in order to become independent. 最初の文に比べるとこの文では不定詞部、つまり、to become independentの意味上の主語が誰なのかが少し曖昧 になりそうです。自立するのは子供？(親離れ)、それとも親の方？(子離れ)　常識的な線は前者でしょうが・・。 Parents should help their children in order to for them to become independent. とすると代名詞のthemは近い方のtheir children だと分かりますが不必要に難化するのはあまり好ましくは思いません。 (2)Parents should help their children so that they can become independent. この文は「目的構文」(so that S+can/may：ーできるように、するために)のそのままの文で正しいです。 ＞いずれの場合も子供たちが「何をする」のを手助けすのかが言ってないのでおかしいような気がするのですが？ ＞＞僕は読解力がないのかもしれませんが、すべての文で「子供が自立するのを助ける」と言う意味で作ろうとして いる思います。勘違いだったらごめんなさいね。

ohboy729です。 ＞ありがとうございます。ちなみに、help+O+to不定詞の　to不定詞は何用法になるのですか？目的ですか？ ＞＞The children helped their mother (to) cook dinner. のような文は文法ではS+V+O+Cの第５文型に分類され、 (to) cook dinnerのような不定詞部は目的格補語の不定詞と呼ばれます。 同様な目的格補語の不定詞を持つ第五文型表現にはお馴染みのものも多いと思いますが以下のようなものがあります。 tell/expect/want/wish/get/+O+to不定詞 seem/appear/think/find/consider+O+to be 補語というとＳ＝ＣやＯ＝Ｃの形容詞や名詞というイメージがありますが、Ｓ＝Ｖ(不定詞、分詞などの準動詞で本当の動詞 はこれには入れない)の関係でも同一関係であれば補語です。

0) Parents should help their children become independent. 1) Parents should help their children in order to become independent. 2)Parents should help their children so that they (can) become independent. この中で 1) はおかしいですね。0) をわざわざ複雑化している（のと、in order to という目的を示す言葉は become independent と合わない(?)かも知れません）。2) は OK ですが、can はなくても通じます。

なんか違う感じがしますね。 普通このような言い換えはしないんじゃないですか。 本来の文の意図から離れているように感じます。

    テーマはここ数年のニュースで話題になったものというものです。 I was interested in the news which the age of adult should be lowered to eighteen years old. I agree with this idea. Young people these days are overprotected. They can't know anything about the world. It is true that people in their teens still aren't mentally and physically mature. Manｙ teenageｒ don't have a full time job, live with their parents and depend on their parents, However, this is the reason why the age of adult should be lowered. Someday, they will have to live by their own. If they have to be responsible to everything they do, they will become aware that they should be independent. They would also appreciate their parents. よろしくおねがいします。

    学問は、親の期待にこたえるためよりも、自分自身のために励むべきだ。 A person should concentrate on their studies for themselves, not in order to live up to their parents' expectations. 問題と解答例は上記で、幾つか疑問などがありました。 (1)　なぜ　not　の位置がここなのか。　in order not to　ではないのかと思いました。 (2)　主語が　A person　で始まっているのに、なぜ　their　や　themselves　で受けているのか。 (3)　(1)の　not　の位置とも関係してくるのですが、もし、この英文を二文に分けたらどうなるのか。 A person should not concentrate on their studies in order to live up to their parents' expectations. They should do for themselves.　こうなるとすれば、　in order not to　では意味合いがおかしくなるの は分かります。 分かる方がいらっしゃいましたらよろしくお願いいたします。

    文法など至らない点が多く申し訳ありませんが、よろしくお願いします。 問：What do you think is the best parents? 解答： Children can’t choose their parents. In my case, I’m proud of my parents and I think I’m happy to be their child. What makes parents the best one depends on some reasons. I’ll explain them one by one. First, the best parents must have the ability to wait and see. To think of myself, it is natural that children can’t deal with the problem well at first. And in many cases, if they have enough time to try it again and again, they will surely make it. However, if their parents make them stop tackling the problem and help them, children will fail to accomplish their goals and lose their confidence. For example, when I was in my elementary school, my teacher gave me a lot of homework. I tried so hard to do it, but sometimes it was too difficult for me. I begged my mother for some help, but she refused it and said that she believed me that I could do it by myself. I didn’t understand what she said, and I felt she was not the best mother. Anyway, finally I did it and I was so proud of myself and felt I could do everything from now on. However, if my mother helped me at that time, I just finished my homework without getting confidence. Second, the best parents will give many experience to their children, for example, sports, traveling, and working. This is because what children have learned in their childhood will give them many choices of the future plans. If a father plays baseball with his boy, it can happen that the boy wishes he will be a baseball player. For example, my parents gave me the great experience with dogs and now I became a veterinary student. So, it is very important that the parents make their children experience many things to make their future shine. To sum up, the best parents should know children don’t belong to them. By thinking this way, they can wait and see how their children are doing, and do the best things in order to make their future soundful.

    月末に大学入試を控えている高校３年生です。 文法ミスやもっと適切な表現がありましたら、ご指導いただけるとありがたいです。 テーマ：小中学生に携帯を持たせることの是非 In my opinion, children in elementary school or secondary school should not have a cell phone. It is true that a cell phone is very useful, and it enables them to communicate with their friends or parents easliy at any time. However, a careless use of a cell phone often brings about serious problems. Recently, many children have been involved in crimes by use of a cell phone. They are sometimes killed by people with whome they became acquainted in an Internet community site. Children have a poor knowledge to protect themselves. When we think about whether children can use communication tools appropriately or not, we will believe that they cannot do. So I want to emphasize that parents should not have their children carry a cell phone.

  • “無生物主語 + can help + O + [to] +原型”　の“can”は何故あるの？

    次々と質問しちゃってすみません。 Book can become our best friends. They can help you to know interesting people whom you may never meet personally. They can help you to travel to distant places and to understand distant times. (書物は我々の最良の友になりうる。書物のおかげで、個人的におそらく会うこともない興味深い人々を知ることができるのだ。書物のおかげで遠いところまで旅行したり、昔のことを理解することができるのだ） この文に２カ所ある “They can help you to know”の“can”の用法がわかりません。 というのは、主語が無生物主語のときは、 “S + help + O + [to] + 原型”「SのおかげでOは～できる」 と訳すから、あえて“can”は要らないと思うんです。 canの存在意味を教えてください。
