英文で省略されているもの

“I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” この英文の最後にある“while trying to succeed”では主語とbe動詞が省略されていますが、あえて補うとすれば“he is”でしょうか、それとも“he was”でしょうか? よろしくお願いします。

良く見てなかった・・・・はは。 he was でも、どっちだっていいんですよ。そのような細かいことは。 問題は、この英文長すぎ。 生きた英語じゃない。 もっと、実用的な英語おぼえたほうがいい。 例 http://forum.wordreference.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6 どこでも、 あ、こんな日本語のサイトで質問してないで、英語で英語の省略箇所について質問してください。 力になります。 うそではないです。

  • 意味の分かりにくい英文です

    "The world knows nothing of its greatest men." That may be true, but how can we tell? If we know nothing about them, we cannot tell whether they were great. But there is a good chance that, by the time the world knows about them, they will have ceased to be great. A man usually does his best work just before he is found out. If he has done anything very well, there is a conspiracy to prevent him from doing it again. He becomes a celebrity, and the lion-hunters give him no peace. It must be owned that sometimes he likes it. 上記で、But there is a good chance that, by the time the world knows about them, they will have ceased to be great.

  • it is worth while to ~以下の英文に関し

    It is said sometimes that a man is lucky because he has many friends. I am not so sure. It would be truer to say that he is lucky if he possesses a few deep and sincere friendships. Since friendship is so invaluable, it is worth while to endeavour to understand its nature and to discover how it can be secured. it is worth while 以下の英文なんですが、英文を多く読んでおられる先生方なら、to discover以下がto understand its natureと並列されていると容易に理解されることと思います。私は多くの英文を読んでいないせいかto discover以下がto endeavour と並列されていると勘違いしました。この勘違いを英文の構造上から考えて避ける方法はありませんか? 又もし、it is worth while to endeavour to understand its nature and it is worth while to discover how it can be secured. というのが本意である場合、どのように言えばいいのでしょうか? it is worth while to endeavour to understand its nature and it is also worth while to discover how it can be secured. なんてalsoを入れたら英文としてスマートにはなりませんか?返って不自然になるでしょうか? 宜しくお願い致します。

  • 英文和訳演習(中級編)伊藤氏よりパート3

    It may be said that the Englishman never really makes a decision. He broods; and when he has been brooding for a certain time, he suddenly realizes, not that he has decided something, but that something has been decided. How does he realize this? It is when he discovers that he has begun to take action. It may be that an event has suddenly happened which has forced him to take action immediately. In any case, once he has made the discovery, he hesitates no longer. He has been committed by the action which he has taken rapidly and instinctively. He follows it out to the end, without asking where it is going to lead him, without a plan, but without turning to the right or the left and without letting go. Later on, he finds reasons to explain his action, but it is not as the result of reasoning that he takes action at the beginning. (質問1)It may be that an event has suddenly...とありますが、具体的にどんなeventだと思われますか。 (質問2)he finds reasons to explain his actionとはどういうことでしょうか?(文字通りには訳せます) (質問3)最終文のit is not as the result of reasoning that he takes action...は問題集によると強調構文だとのことですが、これを生徒にやらせたところ、(1)it=that以下、(2)that以下はreasonの目的語、(3)強調構文といろいろに別れ、説明に困りました。皆さんならどのように納得のいく説明をされるでしょうか? (質問4)reasoningとは何ですか?(単語の意味は分かります)これは最初の文のmakes a decisionと関係があるのでしょうか? (質問5)he takes action at the beginning(最初に行動に移る)何のことかよく分かりません。

    Retirement Early retirement is being encouraged through special-incentive programs in many businesses, universities and in the federal government, and many employees are choosing early retirement.
