弱い人間に特有の無節操な行動について
- もし彼らが、公共の利益のために、ある明確なやり方で努めよと求められると、弱い人間に特有の無節操でもって、このようないかなる提案をも、さらに彼らを汚そうとする悪意の試みとみなし、要求を無視するか、やる気なく行うのである。
- 彼らの毎日の仕事は、大小の出来事一つひとつを批判し、嘲笑し、嘆息すること、彼らに染みついた怠惰と絶望感で大衆のやる気を奪い、邪魔をすること、これらで成り立っているのである。

古いせいもあって読みくい翻訳英文です
練られてないうえに読点の多い和訳なんですが、こりゃまずいだろというところがあったら手直しお願いします。 ※文脈が必要なときは英文を検索にかけていただければ前後は出てくるはずです。 １のinconsistency, 「矛盾」もどうかとおもったので「無節操」と辞書の言葉を使いましたが、よくはないです。代案はないでしょうか。 １ If they were asked to exert themselves in some definite way for the common good, with the inconsistency characteristic of weak people they regarded any such suggestion as a malicious attempt to compromise them still further, and either did not do what they were ordered at all or did it with half heart. もし彼らが、公共の利益のために、ある明確なやり方で努めよと求められると、弱い人間に特有の無節操でもって、このようないかなる提案をも、さらに彼らを汚そうとする悪意の試みとみなし、要求を無視するか、やる気なく行うのである。 ２ their daily work consisted in criticizing, ridiculing, and bemoaning every occurrence great and small, and in unnerving and discouraging the multitude by their own sluggishness and hopelessness. 彼らの毎日の仕事は、大小の出来事一つひとつを批判し、嘲笑し、嘆息すること、彼らに染みついた怠惰と絶望感で大衆のやる気を奪い、邪魔をすること、これらで成り立っているのである。

some ＋可算名詞の単数は「ある～」とよくやるのですが， ここでは definite という形容詞があるため，ちょっと不自然かもしれません。 inconsistency は「無定見」くらいでしょうか。 compromise は他動詞としては「～を傷つける，汚す」でいいです。 A, and either B or C というくだりは理解できているようですので， もっと大胆に訳した方がいいでしょうね。 あと，もちろん，過去のことで過去形で訳してください。 日本語は現在ですむこともありますが。

代訳を提示します １．彼らは、しかるべき決定的な形で共通の利益のために奮起せよと号令をかけられ ると、柔弱な人民には特有ではあるが、その手の号令の一切は、自分たちをさらなる 危険にさらす悪しき試みであると断じて、号令にまったくしたがわないか、形だけしたが うのである。 ｉｎｃｏｎｓｉｓｔｅｎｃｙ は、「とばして訳す」という判断をここではくだしています。 ２．彼らの日頃の仕事といったら、大きなできごとからささいなことまで、日々のできご とを、逐一批判し、揶揄し、嘆き、さらに、自分自身の問題である出口のない失意によっ て、大衆のやる気をうばい、意気消沈させることなのである。 過去形の部分は、現在形に一貫して訳したほうが、文体がヴィヴィッドになるというメリ ットはあるかと思い、ここではあえて、現在形のままにしてあります。 そもそも翻訳というのは、意味をとるためにおこなうもので話者のいわんとするところを くまねばならず、一方で、解釈をともなうものという立場から一言。 しかるべき決定的な形で共通の利益のために奮起せよと・・・と私が訳している部分 ですが、さいしょに読んだときの、印象では、戦地におもむいて戦え、というような命令 を婉曲にいったものかと思われましたので、暗にそのことが読者につたわるように全体 における訳語を選定しています。直観的に、ｄｅｆｉｎｉｔｅ という単語にそういうものをかん じとりました。ｐｅｏｐｌｅ のまえに ｗｅａｋ がついていることからもそのことはかんじとれ ます。 発言者は、政治家か、政治学者のような人物でしょう。 １．で批判されているのは、戦闘力・納税者としての国民 ２．で批判されているのは、メディアでしょうか ｃｏｍｐｒｏｍｉｓｅ については、危険にさらす、利益をそこなう、などの意味があります。 ｓｌａｇｇｉｓｈｎｅｓｓ ａｎｄ ｈｏｐｅｌｅｓｓｎｅｓｓ については、成果もあがらず、希望がもてな い心情を意味しているのであって、これを「怠惰」は、ないかな、と思います。出口の ない失意は、むろん意訳です。 自分の人生ぱっとせず希望ももてないものだから、日々・・・というような目で、話者 は、だれかをみていることになります。 ｓｌａｇｇｉｓｈ はもともとの意味は、不振という意味でのふるわない、かと。 ｓｌａｇｇｉｓｈ ｅｃｏｎｏｍｙ などと用いられるときのように。 自分が出版する本でしたら、もうすこし、徹底的に辞書をひく、疑問点については、 いったんねかせて考える、全体のなかで、訳語の意味を確定していくという作業 をおこないます。うえは、あくまで試訳レベルのものです。 訳文には、自分の感情をこめるのではなく、筆者の感情をこめるものとの立場から 訳させていただきました。あいてによりそってよむということです。 以上参考になれば幸いです。 なお、わたしは、昨夜の投稿者と同一人物です。

申し訳ありません。 実は誤解していました。 提示された翻訳の日本語が、あなたが訳されたものとはつゆしらず、どこかの何十年か前 にすでに出版されている悪訳だと思い込んでました。 ご本人だとわかっていれば、けっしてけっして、あのような口のききかたはしていなかったは ずなのですが（汗） ほんとに努力家でいらして・・・ っていまからごますってもおそいか・・・ 古い訳（ドイツ語かなにかからの英語訳）という風におもわず、古い日本語訳とはやとちり してしまったのです。 いいわけになりますが、あなたの日本文には、よくいえば、大学教員の風格がかんじられ ます。 以前には、まったくあなたの訳には、コメントしていないと思います。 ここは最近はじめたばかりです。今後ともよろしくおねがいします。

まず、わたしはあなたが、大学教員でないことをのぞみます。 また、あなたが、授業の予習をらくにするためにこのサイトを利用していないことをのぞみます。 みたいな日本語がよんだあとに思わず口をついてでるような、生硬な訳ですね。 それはさておき、訳文ですが ２．は「彼らにしみついた怠惰と絶望感で」の部分 ｏｗｎ が訳されていないのでこれを 「自分自身に・・・」とかえるくらいでいいかと （すごくよくはありませんが） １．はなおすとこいっぱい・・・ のっけから ｓｏｍｅ は、「ある」でなく「なんらかの」 ｅｘｅｒｔ ｔｈｅｍｓｅｌｖｅｓ は「奮起する」くらいでは 「このようないかなる提案」→「こういった類のいかなる提案」 そのあとはもうめちゃめちゃですので、こちらで訳をだします ・・・「さらなる妥協をもとめるよこしまな試みとうけとめ、命じられたことをまったく おこなわないか、いい加減におこなうのである」 でした。あとは、おこのみで適宜やくしなおしてください。 ついでながら、旧約の日本語の問題点ですが、わかりやすい日本語の原則を おそろしくやぶっています。 修飾する語句とされる語句をちかづけるだとか、高校生レベルで習得してほし いことができていません。

※タイトルですが「に」がぬけてしまってますね。訂正します。

The 42nd Division was ordered to advance to Hod el Enna; their 127th (Manchester) Brigade marched out at 07:30 and reached Hod el Enna between 09:30 and 10:00, while their 125th (Lancashire Fusiliers) Brigade arrived at 11:15. They were supported by the Egyptian Camel Transport Corps, which worked with the Army Service Corps to supply them with drinking water. In much distress in the scorching midsummer sands, infantry in the 42nd Division marched very slowly and far in the rear. The 52nd (Lowland) Division also experienced difficulties; although Lawrence ordered the division to move at 06:37, the men did not leave their trenches until nearly midday, reaching their objective of Abu Hamra late in the evening.

During the night, the German and Ottoman forces retreated back to Bir el Abd, where they had been three weeks before, on 20 July, when they established a base with a depot for supplies and stores.On 7 August the Greater Bairam (a feast day celebrating the end of the Islamic year) coincided with the Egyptian Camel Transport Corps at Romani being ordered to move out with supplies for the advancing troops, but 150 men, most of whom were past the end of their contracts and entitled to be discharged, refused orders to fill their water bottles, draw their rations and saddle up. One man was hit about the head with the butt of a pistol and the dissenters were dispersed into small groups and reassigned to various units in the infantry division; the 52nd (Lowland) Division.

In addition to questions of institutional authority and historical precedent, the personal qualities of the first three Tokugawa shoguns did much to confirm their family’s power. All of them were cautious and hard-working men who, although they surrounded themselves with capable advisers, nevertheless reserved the right to make final decisions. Hidetada appears somewhat prim and colorless in comparison with the other two, but there two, but there is no doubt of his administrative ability. Iemitsu is alleged to have been imperious and capricious. He certainly behaved like a strong ruler and it was in his time that the bakufu's control system was ‘perfected’; but whether he was really moody or not – or whether even if he were, this in any way affected the issues at stake – is hard to say.

Fire from the 1st Light Horse Brigade's Hotchkiss and Vickers machine guns, with the support of the Leicester Battery, stopped the counterattack. Although the 2nd Light Horse Brigade was to be prepared for a mounted attack, the 5th and 7th Light Horse Regiments (2nd Light Horse Brigade) held a wide stretch of front line south of the Wadi Imleih. Here they were attacked by a squadron of Ottoman cavalry, supported by another cavalry regiment and a force of Bedouin. With their rifles on their backs the light horsemen were defenceless in mounted attack and they were forced back under cover of their machine gun detachments before eventually halting the Ottoman advance. Near dark, a threatened counterattack by infantry from Beersheba on the extreme right of the line failed to develop. The Anzac Mounted Division retired to water in the Wadi Ghuzzee at Heseia where they were shelled, causing some casualties. Darkness ended fighting with anticipation for a renewal of the battle the next day. Although the EEF infantry brigades had succeeded in entering the Ottoman trenches at several points, they were too weakened by the fierce defence to retain their gains during strong counterattacks. Towards the end of the afternoon, it had become apparent there was "no prospect of success on any portion of the front", and offensive operations ended after the Ottoman counterattack was forced back. Dobell received reports from his divisional commanders describing the state of the troops, the low supply of ammunition, and the estimated 6,000 casualties.

On the right the 158th (North Wales) Brigade's 1/5th Royal Welsh Fusiliers battalion reached the cactus hedges south of Ali Muntar, where they paused to wait for supporting battalions to come up on their right. Along with the 159th (Cheshire) Brigade, these two brigades slowly fought their way forward towards Clay Hill. Meanwhile, Dallas ordered the 161st (Essex) Brigade of the 54th (East Anglian) Division to capture Green Hill and fill the gap between the 158th (North Wales) and 160th (Welsh Border) Brigades (53rd Division). By 15:30 the 161st (Essex) Brigade had reached Mansura and they were in a position to launch their attack at 16:00 with the arrival of the 271st Brigade RFA. The fire from this artillery brigade dampened the hostile machine gun fire from Clay Hill, and at 15:50, 45 minutes after the 161st (Essex) Brigade joined the battle, the infantry succeeded in entering the defenders' trenches. They entered at two places to the east of the Ali Muntar mosque, capturing 20 German and Austrian soldiers and another 20 Ottoman soldiers.

The British conscripted 120,000 carriers to move Belgian supplies and equipment to Kivu from late 1915 to early 1916. The lines of communication in Belgian Congo required c. 260,000 carriers, which were barred by the Belgian government from crossing into German East Africa and Belgian troops were expected to live off the land. To avoid the plundering of civilians, loss of food stocks and risk of famine, with many farmers already conscripted and moved away from their land, the British set up the Congo Carrier Section of the East India Transport Corps (Carbel) with 7,238 carriers, conscripted from Ugandan civilians and assembled at Mbarara in April 1916. The Force Publique, started its campaign on 18 April 1916 under the command of General Charles Tombeur, Colonel Molitor and Colonel Olsen and captured Kigali on 6 May. The German Askari in Burundi were forced to retreat by the numerical superiority of Force Publique and by 17 June, Burundi and Rwanda were occupied. The Force Publique and the British Lake Force then started a thrust to capture Tabora, an administrative centre of central German East Africa. They marched into German territory in three columns and took Biharamuro, Mwanza, Karema, Kigoma and Ujiji. After several days of battle, they secured Tabora. During the march, Carbel lost 1,191 carriers died or missing presumed dead, a rate of 1:7, which occurred despite the presence of two doctors and adequate medical supplies. To forestall Belgian claims on the German colony, Smuts ordered their forces back to Congo, leaving them as occupiers only in Rwanda and Burundi. The British were obliged to recall Belgian troops in 1917 and the two allies coordinated campaign plans.

In Britain, an Offensive sub-committee of the Committee of Imperial Defence was appointed on 5 August and established a principle that command of the seas was to be ensured and that objectives were considered only if they could be attained with local forces and if the objective assisted the priority of maintaining British sea communications, as British army garrisons abroad were returned to Europe in an "Imperial Concentration". Attacks on German coaling stations and wireless stations were considered to be important to clear the seas of German commerce raiders. Objectives at Tsingtau in the Far East and Luderitz Bay, Windhoek, Duala and Dar-es-Salaam in Africa and a German wireless station in Togoland, next to the British colony of Gold Coast in the Gulf of Guinea, were considered vulnerable to attack by local or allied forces.

There is considerable disagreement about the actual conduct of the battle, but the Montenegrins did defeat a numerically superior foe. The battle was intended to give the Serbian Army enough time reach the Albanian mountains in their retreat to Corfu, but in fact most of the Serbian troops had already crossed the mountains and reached the coast and were battling their way south between Scutari (Shkodër) and Durazzo (Durrës). The Montenegrin army continued to hold the Berane-Andrijevica-Mojkovac-Tara River line until withdrawing on 18 January. The Austrians then continued pushing their offensive south.

The redoubts were arranged around the village, which protected the only available water supply in the area. During the day, pilots and their observers provided frequent reports; fourteen were received between 07:50 and 15:15, giving estimated positions, strength, and movements of the Ottoman garrison. These were most often given verbally by the observer, after the pilot landed near Chauvel's headquarters, as the aircraft did not at this time have wireless communication. The main attack, from the north and east, was to be made by the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade, commanded by Brigadier General Edward Chaytor, which moved in line of troop columns.
