和訳をお願いします。 I found Shishmaref on a map, and decided to write to the head of the village. So, with my English dictionary by my side, I wrote my first English letter. " My name is Hoshino Michiko. I'm a Japanese student. After seeing a picture of Shishmaref, I became very interested in your villsge life. I would like to visit, but I do not know anyone. I'm willing to work. Con you introduce me to someone who will let me stay with them? I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon." I addressed it,"The Mayou, Shishmaref, Alaska." About six monter, I received reply from one of the villagers. "Sorry for the delay. June and July are the months when we go hunting, so you should some then・・・・  When you know the day, let us know. You can stay with my family. "Suddenly Alaska was in the palm of my hand.

地図上でシシュマレフを見つけたので、そこの村長に手紙を書くことにした。辞書を片手に、私は初めて英語の手紙を書いた。 「私は、ホシノ ミチコです。私は、日本の学生です。写真を見て村の生活に興味を持ちました。行ってみたいけど、誰も知り合いがいません。私は働きたいです。誰か泊まるところを提供してくれる人を紹介してくれませんか?お返事をお待ちしています。」 私は、その手紙を「アラスカ州シシュマレフの The Mayou」宛てに送った。 約6ヵ月後、村民の一人から返事ををもらった。 「返事が遅れてごめんなさい。6月と7月は狩りの季節なので、あなたは・・・(省略?) 来る日が決まったら教えてください。私のところに泊まれます。」 突然、アラスカ行きが現実味を帯びてきた。 ※誤字脱字と思われる箇所は適当に補完して訳しました。

    和訳をお願いします。 Shishmaref is located on a tiny island in the Bering sea. To the east you can see the mainland of Alaska. I arrived in season when there in on night - the time of the midnight sun. I often watched the sun start to set and then rise again. The village had only about two hundred people, and I probably met them all in my first two or three days. The young people spoke English, but the older people used Eskimo all the time. I tried to learn a little of the Eskimo language every day, dut it was very difficult. The first thing I learned to say was, " I'm hungry." Their life was very simple and natural. As you may know, Alaska has many wild animals which the Eskimos hunt. These provide them with meat, oil, and skins for clothing. One day when we went hunting, I saw my first grizzly bear. It was majestic. This was the most vivid experience of my first stay in Shishmaref.

    海外の友人が英語について教えてくれているのですが、何と書いてくれているのでしょう? **When you start a sentence with "so," it's like it connects it to the previous sentence. For example. The man was hungry. So, he decided to go buy a burrito. In this case it's like it's filling in for "because of this." "Let me see what I can do," and "I translated my message into Japanese" don't seem to connect in quite the same way. If you wanted to use "so", you could say- I'd like to help you as well. So, I'll translate my message into Japanese. Another way you could think of it is if the two sentences COULD connect naturally with only a comma you can use "so." You can write- I'd like to help you as well, so I will translate my message into Japanese. You can't write- Let me see what I can do, so I will translate my message into Japanese. Hope this helps, let me know if I'm writing too many notes here!

    They were very interested to know how your trip went? And my mother said that your are very "kawaii so" because it has not been so cold in more than 100 years. Come to think of it ... you're really not very fortunate. In summer you visited Osaka and it hasn't been so warm for 100+ years. And when you visit Belgium in winter ... it hasn't been so cold for more then 100 years. You really go through cold and heat to see me ... I'm so happy to know you ... Of course you can stay in "our" hotel room as much and as long you want. . I come to Tokyo for you. If you ask me about my top 5 things I want to do when I'm in Tokyo,

    Another incident of the kind happened somewhat later.On March 2,1881,accrding to my diary, at an hour when I happened to be alone in the laboratory,a young man entered.I asked him,'What's on your mind ?''Oh,don't ye know?I am Mr,Edison's new English secretary and my name is Mr.Samuel Insull,'which was said with a rich London East Lombard Street accent.Now we American boys at that time weren't so well-bred as our English cousins,and I,like others you may know, had hailed from the east side of New York City.However,I desired to be as polite as possible and answer in English too.'Pon my word,Mr,Samuel Instull, it's mighty to meet you and I shall be awfully glad to show you around in Mr.Thomas Alva Edison's laboratory,'I answered,drawling out some of the words in English fashion as we used to do sometimes during the frolics of our midnight lunch.

    たいへん個人的な質問で申し訳ありませんが、英語の歌詞の意味がどうしても気になるので、ご回答いただきたいです。 個人で楽しむだけなので多少意訳でも結構です。 I saw a sign,when you go I lose my mind. So I'm like a star tonight,when you stay it will be shining bright. I have a dream,when I close my eyes,I see. You are staying by my side,we have a party to the morning light. よろしくお願いいたします。
