英語の文法について教えてください。

英語の文法について教えてください。 今読んでいる英文に以下のようなものがあります。 "Nor will fiscal stimulus of the sort Congress is talking about." (前文は"The policy cannot reverse the credit cycle.") (訳は「連邦議会が話し合っているような、財政出動でも同じことだろう。」) とされています。 理解できない点が2つあります。 (1)「Nor」を使用しない純粋な否定分は、 "The fiscal stimulus of the sort Congress is talking about cannot reverse neither." でよろしいでしょうか。 (2)文中の"sort"はどの単語にかかっていて、どのような意味を持っているのでしょうか。 わかりにくい質問となってしまい恐縮ですが、ご回答よろしくお願いします。

1) Fiscal stimulus of the sort Congress is talking about cannot reverse it either. ここではcannotがすでに否定の形なっているのでneitherではなく、eitherが正しいです。そして、reverseという単語は目的語が必要なので、itをいれなければなりません。 2)sort は「のような」(または種類)という意味でkindとほぼ同じです。The sort of fiscal stimulus と書き直しても良いです。

お礼

大変分かりやすい説明、ありがとうございます。 eitherとneitherについては勉強不足でした。 また、sortは、"~ of the sort"と対象の後につけることもできるのですね。勉強になりました。ありがとうございました。

    The second story “Girl” was more interesting to me. The story is like family motto from her mother to girl. This story imply that girl’s mother really love her children with extravagance. I can find her mother’s love, worry and many more feeling to her daughter. I like this story because this story has more adorable feelings. I believe that “white elephant” is more difficult than “Girl”, because that story is mostly consisted of conversation between them, however, that conversation makes me confused. It is not clear for me. The girl was mad first time, but she easily come back to good mood the end of the story. I wanted to see the process how she came back to good mood. I believe that “Girl” is not a real story. I guess that this story is talking about future’s children. In my opinion, the girls’ mother wants to have a girl baby in her future, so she is talking about how her children want to grow up when she have a girl baby,

    ↓文章が2つあるのですが、両方確認して頂きたいです。 <The consumption tax>  Japanese consumption tax is 5%. Sweden is a country where a consumption tax is the 2nd highest country in the world, and 5 times of Japan. Iceland is a country where a consumption tax is the highest. It is 25.5%. There are three kinds of consumption taxes of Sweden. The highest tax rates of them are 25%. A publication and public traffic are 6% and food is the tax rates of 12%. But, Japan has not divided the consumption tax like Sweden.  The tax rates of Sweden are higher than Japan, so social welfare is substantial than Japan. <History of the tax>  Third, I’m going to talk about history of the tax. Japan was started the consumption tax in 1989. At first, it was 3%. Later, it changed 5% in 1997. Then, it is still 5%. But, it will go up in the future. Sweden was started the consumption tax in 1960. The consumption tax of Sweden changed 10 times in 30 years, and became 25% from 4.2%. Therefore, the consumption tax of Japan did not large change. But, the consumption tax of Sweden changed a lot.

    Compared with other my friends, my life is very unusual. I had been to Australian for four months after graduation from high school. It was my best experience I have ever had. The smell of air was cool and freshness when I arrived in Cairns airport, which smell cannot get out of my mind. Of course, there were many culture differences between Japan and Australia such as food, thinking and language. なんでもいいので文法ミス教えてください泣き

    Especially, Australian people are more individualism than Japanese. We tend to care about what people think about. On the other hand, Australian is more likely to do whatever they want. Also, they value their own individuality. I do not know that was good for us, but I just changed my mind after knowing their thinking, and now I always do whatever I want to try as much as possible because my life can not repeat. Anyway, all of my experiences in Australia were amazing for me. The most unforgettable experience over there was learning to appreciate my parents because they always cared about me, and support me all the time. Now, my family is the most precious treasure to me. なにか文法のミスを指摘してもらえるとうれしいです
