mostly girls : 殆どが(大部分が)女の子 most of girls : 殆どの女の子 例 : Most of the girls there are from Japan. 訳 : そこにいる殆どの女の子は日本出身です。 そこにいる女の子全体の8割9割がたは日本から来ているという意味。 つまり、中には、アメリカ出身の女の子も混じっている。 “most of”の後には、全体を表す言葉がきます。 There are over fifty students in the class, and most of them are girls. ...なら、ほぼ同意だと思います。 (“them”は、“fifty students”を指しています) almost girls : もう少しで女の子(女の子になりきれていない?) こんな言い方をすることはマズないと思います。 There are over fifty students in the class, and almost all the students are girls. ...なら、ほぼ同意だと思います。

  • 下の英文のおかしいところ、不自然なところがあればおしえてください。(改

    下の英文のおかしいところ、不自然なところがあればおしえてください。(改行がおおいですがわかりやすくしてあるだけなので、きにしないでください。) Some students are looking forward to a new school year because they can get a new boyfriend or girlfriend, and others are looking forward to it because it is the start of the football season. But there are some students who don't hope for school to start again. It's because they think of a boring class or a class with a lot of homework. How about you?Are you hoping for school to start again after summer is over? To my surprize and still now what I'm surprized at is that the atmosphere varies greatly from class to class in Japan. This doesn't mean there is no difference between classes in America. The only thing is, the difference is not so much. In Japan there are some classes where it's so quiet and nobody trys to express his opinion, and other classes where it's noisy and many students speak as they like. Of course most classes belong to the middle of these, that is, it consists of a few students who speak nothing and a few who always speak their minds and most other students who sometimes speak and sometimes keep silent.

    There is much the same range, from artless fantasy to so-phisiticated convention, in twelfth-century sculpture, still al-most entirely confined to relief. The most extreme example of stylization is the two panels in Chichester Cathedral, particu-larly that of the Raising of Lazarus. The figures have a Byz-antine formality, but the faces, with huge deeply cut eyes, resemble Greek tragic masks, and the pattern into which Christ’s hair is carved is reminniscent of early Celtic art. More characteristically Romanesque are the Twelve Apostles in the porch of Malmesbury Abbey, six on either side, much more natural in posture than the painted Apostles of Kempley, looking almost as though they were posing for a photograph, though subtly grouped in pairs and unified by the hovering angel above. There is also more variety in the draping of their robes, for though the conventional ovals, and even in-verted rainbow shapes, are there, they are only details in the overall rhythm of design.
