ヨークシャー湿原は、イギリスの小説で最も神秘的で精力的な一冊とされるエミリー・ブロンテ（１８１８－１８４８）の『嵐が丘』の背景をなす。『嵐が丘』は、もともと家族の居ない少年でキャシーの家に引き取られていたヒースクリフと、キャシー・アーンショーとの間の熱烈な恋の物語である。 キャシーが地元の地主と結婚するとヒースクリフは去る。しかし何年も経ったあと、彼は復讐のため帰って来る。キャシーの死後もヒースクリフは彼女を脳裏に追い続け、彼女の幽霊にさえ話しかける。 彼は一晩中湿地を歩き続けた後死ぬ。 エミリー、シャーロット、アンの三人とも小説家（シャーロットは有名な『ジェイン・えあ』を書いた）になるというブロンテ一家は変わった一家だった。この三姉妹はヨークシャーのホーワース村に居を構えた牧師の六人の子どものうちの三人だった。ホーワースはヨークシャー湿原の人里離れた小さな村で、子ども達に出来ることはあまり無かった。 上２人の姉の死後、エミリー、シャーロット、アンの三人は、物語を作ってはお互いや兄弟を楽しませた。しかしブロンテ一家は悲劇の一家でもあった。六人の子どもはいずれも比較的若くて死んだ。『嵐が丘』はエミリーの書いたただ一つの小説である。今日、ホーワースのブロンテ家は毎年何千人という人が訪れる。これより多数の人が訪れるのはウィリアム・シェイクスピアの生まれたストラットフォード・アポン・エイボンだけである。

Thiepval Ridge was well fortified and the German defenders fought with great determination, while the British co-ordination of infantry and artillery declined after the first day, due to the confused nature of the fighting in the mazes of trenches, dug-outs and shell-craters. The final British objectives were not reached until a reorganisation of the Reserve Army and the Battle of the Ancre Heights (1 October – 11 November). Organisational difficulties and deteriorating weather frustrated General Joseph Joffre's intention to proceed with vigorous co-ordinated attacks by the Anglo-French armies, which became disjointed and declined in effectiveness during late September, at the same time as a revival occurred in the German defence.

家族についての話だと思うのですが、上手く英訳することができず、困っています。 長文ですが翻訳お願いします。 You will hear a lot about the American family in the election campaign. For most of us, that calls up an image of a man and wife and two or three children. Forget it. Predominant as the social pattern for several hundred years, that American family has lost its place. Households of unmarried couples and households without children outnumber "American family" households. And only about 20 percent of families fit into the traditional structure with father as the only breadwinner. Here is what has been happening: In the 1950s, 80 percent of adults were married; today, roughly 50 percent are. Why? Partly because people are delaying marriage, with the median age for a first marriage rising by four years for men and about five years for women. Second, divorce rates have more than doubled since the 1960s as marriage evolved from a sacrament to a contract. Third, millions more cohabit before marriage. Fourth, births to unmarried mothers, white and black, have risen from 5 percent in 1960 to about 35 percent today. So the new American family is a household with fewer children, with both parents working, and with mothers giving birth to their children at an ever older age, having fewer children, and spacing them further apart. This is not good news. Twice as many married people indicate they are very happy as compared with those who aren't married. But it is the children who are most affected. The stable family of two biological parents—surprise, surprise!—turns out to be the ideal vessel for molding character, for nurturing, for inculcating values, and for planning for a child's future. By comparison, the children of single parents or broken families do worse at school and in their career. Marriage, or the lack of it, is the best single predictor of poverty, greater even than race or unemployment. The result is a serious new divide in our society between the children of poorer, less educated, single parents and those of richer, better educated, and married parents. The married parents typically earn more than $75,000; in only 20 percent of cases do married parents with children earn less than $15,000. The startling increase of those who grow up with only one parent has markedly added to poverty among children, shifting poverty from the old to the young. Children in mother-only families are more likely than those with two parents to be suspended from school, to have emotional problems, to become delinquent, to suffer from abuse, to take drugs, and to perform poorly on virtually every measure.

和訳をお願いします Emily,a gray and white cat,became famous for a 4,000-mile trip that she made recently. Emily lives with the McElhiney family in Wisconsin,a state in the United States. One day in September,Emily didn't come back after she went out for a walk. The McElhineys looked for Emily around the neighborhood for three weeks but couldn't find her. The family almost gave up hope of seeing her again. A month later,however,the family got a call from France. Emily was there,thin but healthy. How did this happen? Emily probably walked into the warehouse of a paper company near her house and got into a big box full of paper. The box traveled by truck to the port and then it went by ship across the Atlantic Ocean! The ship reached a port in Belgium,and Emily ended up at another company in Nancy,France. One of the workers at the company found the thirsty cat hiding in their box. The worker looked at the tag around Emily's neck.The tag had the phone number of the cat's doctor in Wisconsin.

britain is an old country with a large store of myths and legends. many of these stories cluster around Glastonbury,a small town in the southwestern county of somerset. one such story even states that jesus visited glastonbury when he was a young boy. perhaps the most famous character associated with glastonbury is king arthur. most of the stories associated with arthur are legends,but it is likely that they were based on a real person. arthur was probably a 6th-century british military leader who fought against the anglo-saxon invaders. in the stories,however,arthur became a larger-than-life hero. according to one legend,the british people were desperately looking for a leader to protect them against the anglo-saxon invaders. merlin,a great magician,showed the people a sword buried up to its hilt in a rock. he said that the person who could pull the sword out would be king. the strongest men in the country all tried in vain. but arthur,who was just a boy,was able to pull the sword out easily,and so became king. arthur had a courageous band of followers called the knights of the round table. they were constantly going off in search of adventure. often,the aim of their quests was to find the holy grail,which,according to some interpretations,was the cup from which jesus and his disciples had drunk on the evening before jesus was killed. the legends were sometimes romantic:one tells of one of arthur'sknights,sir lencelot,having a love affair with arthur's beautiful wife,guinevere. eventually,arthur was fatally wounded in a battle. he ordered one of his knights to take his magic sword,excalibur,and throw it into the lake. as he did,an arm reached out from the middle of the lake,caught the sword and slowly pulled it under the surface. the legend says that before arthur died,three mysterious women carried him away in a boat and took him to glastonbury,where he was buried. glastonbury today attracts thousands of people who are fascinated by these ancient legends. it also attracts thousands of music lovers,who go there every june for the glastonbury festival,which began in the 1970s. it is one of the biggest and most poplar music festivals in britain,and attracts some of the world's most famous and interesting bands. music fans who go there have to be tough and dedicated,as it almost always rains heavily during the festival period.

On the street outside the UK's most northerly cathedral, islanders young and old crowded the pavements as the Royal Marines band led a naval contingent, bayonets gleaming to the morning commemoration. It was a powerful reminder of Orkney's naval history; Britain's Grand Fleet sailed to Jutland from the deep anchorage at Scapa Flow. Nearly 6,000 men never returned. The services at Kirkwall and Lyness mark the loss of 25 ships, British and German, in a clash which resulted in no clear victory. A century ago an islander called Margaret Tait captured the mood after the battle. "What a gloom was cast over the town, and how depressed we were to think of our noble ships, brave sailors and officers." Later, family members and representatives of today's navies will re-tell the stories of Jutland, and remember those who still lie beneath the dark waters of the North Sea. Representatives of all the other nations connected to the battle - Australia, Canada, Ireland, Japan, Malta, New Zealand and South Africa - were at the cathedral. The commemoration was led by the minister of the cathedral, Fraser MacNaughton. He was joined by the Royal Navy's chaplain of the fleet, the Venerable Ian Wheatley, and a German naval chaplain. In the North Sea, The German ship FGS Schleswig-Holstein will join HMS Duncan at Jutland Bank.

Three factors guided the French strategy and necessitated a Mediterranean focus: the French navy needed to carry a great many goods, the Mediterranean was the axis of chief interest, and a supply of oil was essential. The primary goal was to defend French North Africa, and Briand made practical choices, for naval policy was a reflection of overall foreign policy. The Conference agreed on the American proposal that capital ships be limited to a ratio of 5 to 5 to 3 for the United States, Britain, and Japan, with Italy and France allocated 1.7 each. France's participation reflected its need to deal with its diminishing power and reduced human, material, and financial resources. Briand's efforts to come to an agreement over reparations with the Germans failed in the wake of German intransigence, and he was succeeded by the more bellicose Raymond Poincaré. In the wake of the Ruhr Crisis, however, Briand's more conciliatory style became more acceptable, and he returned to the Quai d'Orsay in 1925. He would remain foreign minister until his death in 1932.

On 21 July, Franz Joseph was reportedly surprised by the severity of the ultimatum that was to be sent to the Serbs, and expressed his concerns that Russia would be unwilling to stand idly by; yet he nevertheless chose to not question Berchtold's judgement. A week after the ultimatum, on 28 July, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and two days later the Austro-Hungarians and the Russians went to war. Within weeks, the Germans, French and British entered the fray. Because of his age, Franz Joseph was unable to take an active part in the war in comparison to past conflicts. Franz Joseph died in the Schönbrunn Palace on the evening of 21 November 1916, at the age of eighty-six. His death was a result of developing pneumonia of the right lung several days after catching a cold while walking in Schönbrunn Park with the King of Bavaria. He was succeeded by his grandnephew Charles I, who reigned until the collapse of the Empire following its defeat in 1918. He is buried in the Kaisergruft in Vienna, where flowers are still left by monarchists.
