長文英語和訳の他人の例を見たいです。 内容は多いですが、高校生レベルぐらいです。 What makes it rain? Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to Earth. The Earth's gravity pulls it. But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals. Why doesn't rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small. The effect of gravity on them is minute. Air currents move and lift droplets,so that the net downward displacement is zero,even though the droplets are in constant motion. Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft of sunlight. To the casual observer,dust seems to act in a totally random fashion,moving about chaotically without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles are much larger than water droplets and they finally fall. The cloud droplet of average size is only 1/2500 inch in diameter. It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air,and it dose not fall out of moving air at all. Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 1/125 inch or larger can it fall from the cloud. The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet to a size large enough to fall out is the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation. This important growth process is called ‘‘coalescence.’’

雨はどうして降るのだろう？雨は、地球に落下してくる他の全てのものと同じ理由で雲から落下してくる。地球の重力がそれを引きつけるのだ。しかし、それぞれの雲は水滴か氷の結晶からできている。雨や雪は、なぜ全ての雲から常時落下してこないのだろうか？雲の中にある水滴や氷の結晶は、非常に小さいものである。それらに対する重力の影響は、わずかなものである。気流が水滴を動かし上昇させるため、水滴は常に動き続けるものの、下方向への正味の移動はゼロである。 水滴や氷の結晶は、太陽光線で見えるようになる空中のゴミにどこか似たふるまいをする。何気なく見ている人には、ゴミは完全にランダムに、一定の方向性を持つことなく動くように見える。しかし実際は、ゴミの粒子は水滴よりはるかに大きく、いずれ落下する。平均的な大きさの雲粒は、直径1/2500インチしかない。とても小さいため、完全に動きのない空気のなかであっても、半マイル落下するのに16時間かかるだろうし、動いている空気中では落下することはない。雲粒が1/125インチよりも大きくなったときにだけ、それは雲から落下することができる。平均的な大きさの雨粒は、小さな雲粒の100万倍もの水を含んでいる。雲粒が落下するのに十分な大きさにまで成長することが、雨や他の降水の原因なのだ。この重要な成長過程は、「併合」と呼ばれている。

    Think of it this way. Each of us is, more or less, an egg. Each of us is a unique, irreplaceable soul enclosed in a fragile shell. This is true of me, and it is true of each of you. And each of us, to a greater or lesser degree, is "The System". The System is supposed to protect us, but sometimes it take on a life of its own, and then it begins to kill us and cause us to kill others-coldly, efficiently, systematically.

    There is more to the lesson of the geese. The next thing my dad told me was that when a goose becomes too tired to continue the journey, at least one other goose stays with it―to watch over it until it is strong enough to fly on. My dad also told me the geese take turns in the lead position, the most demanding position in the "V" formation. When the lead goose begins to tire, another quickly takes its place, enabling the lead goose to fall back into line to rest and regain energy. Lastly, my dad said the noisy honking that draws your attention to a flight of geese also has its purpose. He told me the noise came from the geese at the back of the "V" honking encouragement to the geese in the more difficult roles at the front of the "V". The migrating geese flew on to their destination in Canada. The memory of that warm spring day on the Prairie River in northern Minnesota is melted into the memory of many similar days of my youth. But the lesson I learned from my dad that day will never be forgotten.

It isn't very heavy, but there is so much of it above the earth that it does weigh a great deal. Some people who have studied the air say that it goes 200 miles above the earth. The air does weigh about 15 pounds on every square inch of house and of every person's body. It( 1 ) many tons on even a small house. The reason this great weight doesn't crush a house is that there is air inside the house. The air inside pushes out with just the same force that the air outside pushes down. There is a weight of 150 pounds under it ( 2 ) , so that the person does not feel any weight at all. It is this great weight of the air up above( 3 ) makes the air on the earth move about in winds. Land gets cold and hot so easily that the winds on land change often. The mountains and rivers and lakes on the land change the direction of the winds. On the ocean the wind does not get hot or cold very fast.

    （A）～（C） アall　イanother　ウnobody　エothers　オsome （D）,（E） アenough　イgood　ウtroubled　エwell が入ります。自分で訳した訳に自信がありませんでした。 設問もあわせて、極端な意訳をあまりしないでお願いします。 スペルには十分注意したつもりですが、もし間違っていたらすみません。 　 　Sleep　is　a　natural　process, and　although　a　lot　has　been　written　about　the　subject, it　is　still　surrounded　by　mystery. It　is　used　by（A）as　an　escape　from　the　world, and　regarded　by（B）as　a　irritating　waste　of　time; but（C）can　do　without　sleep　completely. 　Our　night´s　sleep　does　not　just　consist　of　a　steady　phase　of　gradually　deepening　sleep. It　alternates　between　two　stages: non-dreaming　or　ordinary　sleep, and　REM（rapid　eye　movement）or　dreaming　sleep. 　As　soon　as　we　fall　asleep　we　go　straight　into　non-dreaming　sleep　for　an　hour　or　so, then　into　REM　sleep　for　about　15　minutes, then　back　into　non　dreaming　sleep. It　alternates　in　this　way　for　the　rest　of　the　night, with　non-dreaming　sleep　tending　to　last　longer　at　the　beginning　of　the　night. On-dreaming　sleep　occupies　about　three-quarters　of　our　night´s　sleep, about　a　quarter　of　it　deep　and　the　rest　fairly　light. 　It　is　widely　believed　that　sleep　repairs　the　body　and　makes　good　the　damage　caused　by　being　awake. But　its　main　function　is　to　refresh　the　brain. Experts　believe　that　probably　only　about　two-thirds　of　our　sleep　is　necessary　for　repairing　and　refreshing　the　brain, with　the　most　valuable　sleep　coming　in　the　first　few　hours　of　the　non-　dreaming　period: the　last　few　hours　of　sleep　are　not　so　essential. The　brain　can　manage　quite　well　with　reduced　sleep　as　long　as　it　is　uninterrupted　sleep. 　The　quality　of　sleep　is　important. A　study　conducted　in　the　USA　looked　at　short　sleepers, who　slept　for　5.5　hours　on　average, and　long　sleepers, who　had　8.5　hours　or　more. It　was　discovered　after　a　variety　of　tests　that　the　long　sleepers　were　poor　sleepers, had　twice　as　much　REM　sleep　as　the　short　sleepers, appeared　to　sleep　longer　to　make　up　for　poor　sleep, and　did　not　wake　up　in　the　morning　refreshed.　Similarly,　people　who　sleep　deeply　are　not　necessarily　getting　a　better　quality　of　sleep　than　shallow　sleepers. Deep　sleepers　can　feel　tired　the　following　days, so　six　hours　of（D）sleep　is　worth　more　than　eight　hours　of（E）sleep. 以上です。

    Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for yeas. Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon in an attempt to better understand long-term loneliness. These researchers have already identified three different types of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation-for example, a divorce, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. Situational loneliness is easy to understand and to predict.

    A man must be a sportsman on and off the court to stay in the game. Tennis needs no paid umpires to keep order and conform the rules. The players are always willing to trust their opponents to give them fairest decision on all points. “The sportsmanship of tennis is so high that it carries with it a great value as a character builder. A man who is held up to the best and finest of his nature while on the court go off it and be a mucker. The game lifts the man to its level, or, if the man does not meet that level of sportsmanship, he drops out of the game. The keynote of tennis sportsmanship is generosity to your opponent.

    和訳よろしくお願いします。 　Practically, no pressure can be transmitted from one ring to the next through the water phase. noは、pressureにかかっているのかtransmittedにかかってるのかわかりませんでした。 　As the water saturation increases, a situation develops in which the air (= nonwetting phase) is no longer a continuous phase; it breaks into individual droplets lodged in the larger pores. A globule of air can move only if a pressure difference sufficient to squeeze it through a capillary size constriction is applied across it by the water. 専門的な文ですがよろしくお願い致します。
