やたらと一文が長いので、訳せません。お願いします。 Eight percent of centenarians said they had sent text or instant messages, compared to one percent last year. And 12 percent are using iPods, four percent more than three years ago, the GfK Roper survey for Evercare showed. Nearly 100,000 centenarians are living in the United States, and the number is expected to climb to more than 601,000 by 2050, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. "I think everybody should have something to say in what's going on in their life and not just take everything for granted," said Marie Keeler, 101, from Minnesota. White, the octogenarian star of a popular Super Bowl commercial, was the top choice of a dinner date for most of the centenarians. She usurped actor Bill Cosby, who was the winner for the past two years. Tiger Woods, who was the second most popular pick a year ago, did not make the list this year following revelations about his marital infidelities. More than half of respondents said they would not invite Woods. Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin were also favorites of the centenarians to invite for dinner.

☆アメリカの百歳以上の元気なお年寄りのお話です。 昨年の1パーセントと比較して、百歳以上の人の8パーセントが、テキストまたはインスタントメッセージを送ったと言いました。 そして、12パーセントはiPodを使っています、これは、3年前より4パーセント多くなっていますと、エバーケアのためのGfKローパー調査は示しました。 <注>＊text message http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=text+message&ref=sa ＊instant message http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=instant+message ほぼ100,000人の百歳以上の人が、アメリカ合衆国に住んでいます、そして、米国国勢調査局によると、その数は2050年までに601,000人以上まで増加すると予想されています。 「誰もが自分の人生で起きていることについて話したいことがあるはずですし、あらゆることを当たり前のことだとは思っていないはずだと私は思います」と、ミネソタ出身の101歳のマリー・キーラーは言いました。 <注>百歳を過ぎても、日常自分の周辺で起こることについて、感想を持つので、それをメールしたいと思うと言うことでしょう。 人気のあるスーパーボウルのコマーシャルの80歳のスターのホワイトは、ほとんどの百歳以上の人のディナーデートのトップの相手に選ばれました。 彼女は、過去2年間の優勝者の俳優ビル・コズビーの王座を奪いました。 <注>＊dinner date http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=dinner+date ＊お年寄りの「理想のデート相手人気番付」のお話です。 タイガー・ウッズは、1年前に2番目に人気のデートの対象者でしたが、彼の不倫問題に関する意外な事実を受けて、今年は、人気リスト入りを果たせませんでした。 回答者の半数以上が、自分ならウッズを招待しないと言いました。 ＊お年を召されても不倫問題には厳しい。すると次の「ビル・クリントン元大統領」はどう解釈すべきでしょう？ ビル・クリントン、ミシェル・オバマ、サラ・ペイリンもまた、夕食に招待したいと思う百歳以上の人のお気に入りでした。 <注>＊ビル・クリントン：元大統領。現国務長官（アメリカの外務大臣）のヒラリー・クリントンの夫。 ＊ミシェル・オバマ：現アメリカ大統領バラク・オバマ氏の妻。 ＊サラ・ペイリン：共和党所属。アラスカ州知事（第11代）、2008年アメリカ合衆国大統領選挙における共和党の副大統領候補。（ウィキペディアより抜粋）

far more than for... But it takes time to erase the golfer’s identity completely. Accenture spent $50 million on advertising in the United States last year, and Mr. Woods appeared in 83 percent of the company’s ads ? far more than for any of his other major sponsors ? according to TNS Media Intelligence. （試訳） しかし、タイガーのイメージを消し去るには時間を要する。TNSメディアインテリジェンスによると、アセンチュアは、昨年、合衆国だけで5000万ドルの広告費を費やし、広告の83%でタイガー・ウッズが使われているという。これは彼の他のスポンサーと比べてもずば抜けている。 訳は合ってますでしょうか？

長いので4つに分けました! The research suggests that consumers lose around ￡1.2 billion every year. On average victims have a higher chance than non-victims of falling for another scam within 12 months of first being caught out, because their personal details are added to so-called 'sucker list' of people who have been taken in; the list is then sold to other scammers. While the elderly were more likely to be targeted by a scam, the highest percentage of vibtims were, surprisingly, aged between 35 and 44. Of those who fell for the scams, 32 percent said it was because of the legitimate and professional style of the communication, 25 percent said they were caught off guard, and 18 percent because of excitement at the prospect of getting a good deal or winning a prize. The research also highlighted the fact that whilst men and women are equally likely to be victims of scams, women are more likely to fall victim to miracle health scams and career opportunity scams, while men are more likely to lose money to investment scams and lottery scams. Most strikingly, the study found that less than five percent of those scammed reported their experience to the authorities, so the scale of the problem is far greater than had hitherto been thought. すいませんが 英文訳をお願いします!!

Fresh meats and vegetables are not supposed to be carried across borders by ordinary passengers. In the case of Karen Turner, she almost entered the United States from Mexico carrying 60 kilograms of popular chorizo sausage. Alert officials noticed, however, that she had too many used baby diapers in her car. “My little boyhas diarrhea!” she explained to the officials. Inside of the many diapers, however, they discovered the sausages. Strangely, the meat did not look so different from what a person usually finds in a used diaper. Alert Al Wheeler noticed that a van was moving rather slowly in the line for inspection at the Mexican border. The border official asked the driver to step out, and then discovered the reason the car was so heavy: The driver was carrying nearly 1,600 kilograms of Mexican white cheese. The man confessed that he wanted to sell the cheese, which was valued at about ¥900,000. At an airport in Germany, an angry passenger refused to give up his liter bottle of pepper vodka. He insisted that he was bringing it home as a present for a friend; airport officials firmly explained to him that liquids could not be brought onto the airplane. Rather than give up his bottle, the 64-year-old man opened it and in just a couple of minutes, drank everything. Five minutes later, he returned from the plane and was rushed to a hospital for alcohol poisoning. All of us tend to over-pack for trips. Often we find attractive food items in other countries and want to bring them back. Finally, we see a nice bottle of liquor or wine, and want to give it to a friend. It is important to pack carefully when we go abroad. Officials are watching more closely than ever.

In 1991, the computer industry experienced its worst year in history. Average return on sales dropped to under 4 percent and the ROE (Return On Equity) was under 11 percent. Worldwide, PC revenues dropped for the first time by nearly 10 perœnt. Apple continued to perform better than its competitors in the industry, but the intensity of competition was putting pressure on Apple’s margins. “Our challenge,” said John Sculley, Apple Computer’s CEO, “is not only to stay ahead of our competition, but we have to ｆind some way to change the rules of the game. If computer manufacturers continue to make and sell commodities, everyone in onｒ' business will suffer.” The objective then was to change a $50 billion global industry. Sculley certainly knew that was not going to be an easy task, but he believed that Apple was one of the only companies that could do it, Therefore, for Apple‘s next strategy session, he asked his to address two key questions: (1) could Apple change the structure of the industry, and if so how? And (2) what other alternatives were available?

Adult diapers are set to outsell baby diapers in Japan by 2020 in just the latest example of the challenges facing a nation where more than 20 percent of the population are 65 and older. The Nikkei newspaper reports that paper companiesーDaio and Nippon paperー are expanding their "incontinence products" manufacturing facilities in preparation for an expected surge in demand. Quartz.com says the adult diaper market is growing by up to 10 percent year-on -year and rakes in $1.4 billion per year.Adult diapers can go for as much as two and half times the price of baby diapers. Japan has one of the fastest-aging populations in the industrialized world,and there are concerns about how elderly citizens reling on care will be cared for in the years ahead. In a startling reported by the Telegraph newspaper,nearly a quarter of all shoplifting arrests in Tokyo last year involved pensioners over the age of 65. More than 3320 pensioners were detained by police,eclipsing for the first time the number of teenagers detained in the same year (3195). About 70 percent of the thefts involved food,signaling the growing poverty amongst pensioners living alone in Tokyo.
