False Alarm　という文章からなんですが、訳してみたものの全然意味が分かりません。。どのように訳したらよいですか？ The most spectacular case of this sort in the last few years was the sudden excitement over the possibility of cold fusion -the prospect of unlimited energy from very simple equipment after physicists had spent uncounted millions of dollars on huge machines for the purpose without, so far, succeeding. ２，３年前でのこの種のたいていの目を見張らせるケースは常温核融合の可能性より多くの突然の興奮だった。それは、物理学者が今までのところは成功なしの目的のために、大きな機械に何百万ドルも使い果たした後の、とてもシンプルな装備からの無数のエネルギーへの期待だ。 よろしくお願いします。

The most spectacular case of this sort in the last few years was the sudden excitement over the possibility of cold fusion -the prospect of unlimited energy from very simple equipment after physicists had spent uncounted millions of dollars on huge machines for the purpose without, so far, succeeding. The most spectacular case of this sort in the last few yearsまでが主語で、それはthe sudden excitement over the possibility of cold fusionであると言っています。 cold fusionは常温核融合という事でいいかと思います。 ＞２，３年前でのこの種のたいていの目を見張らせるケースは常温核融合の可能性より多くの突然の興奮だった。 overを「より多くの」と訳されているのでこの様になったのかと思いますが overは～の上にというより、～に関して、という意味です。 They quarreled over money[彼らは金の事で喧嘩した] と同じoverの使い方だと考えて次の様に訳しました。 この数年に起こった、この種の最も鮮烈なケースは、常温核融合の可能性に対する突然の興奮であろう。 その可能性とは、とてもシンプルな装置から限りないエネルギーを引き出す事が出来たという事だ。物理学者たちが莫大な金を、その目的のために巨大な機械に費やしてきたのに、成功を成し得なかったというのに。 前から順に訳してみました。

「ここ数年間、このようなめざましいケースといったら常温核融合の可能性が取り沙汰されにわかな熱狂を覚えたときであろう。その可能性とは物理学者たちがこれまで成功を見ることもないままに巨大な装置のために巨額の金を投じてきた後で、とてもシンプルな装置で無限のエネルギーを作り出すことができたというものだ。」

    Vending Machines Japan is well known for its vending machines. In fact, it could be called the vending machine capital of the world. No matter where you are in japan, you're only a step or two away from a vending machine. Streets and buildings are overflowing with them. Thirsty? Oh, there's a hot and cold drinks machine right there. This is definitely not the case in most other countries, though. You seldom see a vending machine in public places. Japanese, when they travel abroad, often find this lack of vending machines very inconvenient. Why have vending machines become so popular in Japan? Limited space, the dense population, and low crime rate have all been pointed out as reasons. Behind the convenience of Japan's vending machines lie some serious problems. Some sell cigarettes and beer, so even teenagers can readily buy them. Vending machines also raise concerns about the environment. Critics say they consume too much energy and waste resources. And, if you ask me, they're ugly, too.

    Millions of Americans visit an emergency room each year. Millions more have seen the hit TV show "ER." This has sparked an almost insatiable interest in the fascinating, 24-hour-a-day, non-stop world of emergency medicine.A visit to the emergency room can be a stressful, scary event. Why is it so scary? First of all, there is the fear of not knowing what is wrong with you. There is the fear of having to visit an unfamiliar place filled with people you have never met. Also, you may have to undergo tests that you do not understand at a pace that discourages questions and comprehension. In this article, Dr. Carl Bianco leads you through a complete behind-the-scenes tour of a typical emergency room. You will learn about the normal flow of traffic in an emergency room, the people involved and the special techniques used to respond to life-or-death situations. If you yourself find the need to visit an emergency room, this article will make it less stressful by revealing what will happen and why things happen the way they do in an emergency. One of the most amazing aspects of emergency medicine is the huge range of conditions that arrive on a daily basis. No other speciality in medicine sees the variety of conditions that an emergency room physician sees in a typical week. Some of the conditions that bring people to the emergency room include: •Car accidents •Sports injuries •Broken bones and cuts from accidents and falls •Burns •Uncontrolled bleeding •Heart attacks, chest pain •Difficulty breathing, asthma attacks, pneumonia •Strokes, loss of function and/or numbness in arms or legs •Loss of vision, hearing •Unconsciousness •Confusion, altered level of consciousness, fainting •Suicidal or homicidal thoughts •Overdoses •Severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting •Food poisoning •Blood when vomiting, coughing, urinating, or in bowel movements •Severe allergic reactions from insect bites, foods or medications •Complications from diseases, high fevers The classic emergency room scene involves an ambulance screeching to a halt, a gurney hurtling through the hallway and five people frantically working to save a person's life with only seconds to spare. This does happen and is not uncommon, but the majority of cases seen in a typical emergency department aren't quite this dramatic. Let's look at a typical case to see how the normal flow of an emergency room works. Imagine that it's 2 a.m., and you're dreaming about whatever it is that you dream about. Suddenly you wake up because your abdomen hurts -- a lot. This seems like something out of the ordinary, so you call your regular doctor. He tells you to go to your local hospital's emergency department: He is concerned about appendicitis because your pain is located in the right, lower abdomen. When you arrive at the Emergency Department, your first stop is triage. This is the place where each patient's condition is prioritized, typically by a nurse, into three general categories. The categories are: •Immediately life threatening •Urgent, but not immediately life threatening •Less urgent This categorization is necessary so that someone with a life-threatening condition is not kept waiting because they arrive a few minutes later than someone with a more routine problem. The triage nurse records your vital signs (temperature, pulse, respiratory rate and blood pressure). She also gets a brief history of your current medical complaints, past medical problems, medications and allergies so that she can determine the appropriate triage category. Here you find out that your temperature is 101 degrees F.

    In their efforts to "buy green",customers tend to focus on packaging and chemicals, issues that do not factor in with clothing. Likewise, they purchase “natural” fibers like cotton, believing they are good for the environment. But that is not always the case: while " organic "cotton is exemplary in the way it avoids pesticides, cotton garments squander energy because they must be washed frequently at high temperatures, and generally require tumble-drying and ironing. Sixty percent of the carbon emissions generated by a simple cotton T-shirt comes from the 25 washes and machine dryings it will require, the Cambridge study found. A synthetic blouse, in contrast, takes more energy to make, since synthetic fabrics must be processed from materials like wood and oil. But upkeep is far more fuel-efficient, since synthetic fiber clean more easily and dry faster. Over a lifetime, a synthenic blouse uses less energy than a cotton T-shirt. One way to change the balance would be to develop technology to treat cotton so that it did not absorb odors so readily. "Reducing" washing temperature has a huge impact,” Allwood said.

    The United States Congress declared the 1990s the Decade ofthe Brain, but some suggest that the twenty-first century will be the century of the brain, when the last great frontierin biologｙ－an understanding of the most complex biological system,the human brain -will be conquered. Already the considerable advances made in brain science over the past 50-100 years are being called upon to explain many things about human behavior. Universities are asking what various disciplines and fields can learn from brain science and vice versa. Fields as diverse as philosophy, music, English, linguistics and anthropology are represented, as well as the expected fields of biology, psychology, and computer science. Many examples can be offered to illustrate the impact of brain science on other disciplines;I offer two here. First, studies of how we learn and remember things have demonstrated convincingly that memories are largely reconstructive and creative. False memories are not uncommon. These findings have fundamentally changed the way the law views eyewitness testimony. Contrary to the long-held belief that an eyewitness can faithfully record and remember an event, we now realize that what we remember of an event depends on many factors -previous experiences, biases, attention,imagination, and so forth. Different eyewitnesses can give very differentreports,though in each case describing what each observerfirmly believes he or she saw. A second example is the placebo effect -long thoughtto be without physiological basis.If a sugar pillis administered to someone experiencing pain,that person reports a lessening of the pain if told the placebo will help. We now know thatthe pain reduction is caused by the release of special chemicals in the brain. No drug trial today is carried out without a control group receiving a similar, but presumably inactive, agent. But placebo effects can greatly influence the outcome of such trials. How then do we decide what works and what doesn't? This question has enormous implications for medical therapies. How far does the influence of brain science extend ? Do studies on the developing brain,for example,tell us much about how we should raise or educate our children ? Some say yes, but others respond with a strong no. The stakes are high public programs costing millions,if not billions, of dollars, are linked to notions supposedly neurobiologically based, but often the neurobiological evidence cited in support of one position or another is weak, controversial, orinterpreted too strongly. The view that the young brain is more modifiable than the adult brain Which is certainly true -led to the notion thatthe firstthree years are the essential ones forraising a healthy, happy, and competent child. 7)This extreme view, and the evidence on which it is based, has recently been critically examined in John Bruer's book, The Myth of the First Three Years.As Bruer clearly documents, the first three years are important for brain development, but so are subsequent years. Nothing close down completely after just three years- indeed, the brain continues tomature until the age of 18-20.

Five o'clock in the evening means 5:00 p.m., not 5:20 or 4:45. On the other hand, in Latin American and Arab countries, no one is expected to arrive at a party until a few hours after the stated time. 日本語訳 しかしながら、聞くところによるとドイツでは、パーティーの客は 仕事上の約束と同様に、決められた時刻に正確にパーティに到着するべきだと 思われている（早くも遅くもなく）。 午後５時は 5:00 p.mのことで、5:20 や 4:45ではない。 一方、ラテンアメリカやアラブ諸国では、 予定より数時間後にならないと、 誰もパーティには到着しないのが普通だと思われている。

    (1)If climate change and population growth progress at their current pace, in roughly 50 years farming as we know it will no longer exist. This means that the majority of people could soon be without enough food or water. But there is a solution that is surprisingly within reach, and that is to move most farming into cities, and grow crops in tall, specially constructed buildings. It’s called vertical farming. (2)The floods and lack of rainfall that have come with climate change are destroying traditional farmland. Three recent floods, for example, have cost the US billions of dollars in lost crops, with even more serious losses in topsoil. In India changes in rain patterns and temperature could reduce India’s agricultural output by 30% or more by the end of the century. (3)What’s more, population increases will soon reduce the amount of land available to American farmers. The amount of land for farming per person has decreased from about an acre in 1970 to roughly half an acre in 2000, and it is expected to decline to about a third of an acre by 2050. With billions more people on the way, before we know it the traditional soil-based farming model developed over the last 12,000 years will no longer be possible anywhere. In short, it has become alarmingly clear that the world must find new methods of food production and distribution. (4)Now imagine a vertical farm built within the limits of a major city. Food production would take advantage of hydroponic methods that use far less water than conventional cultivation techniques, in some cases as much as 90 percent less. When we apply the vertical farm concept to countries that are water-challenged, such as those in the Middle East, the benefits of vertical farming look even more attractive. For this reason the world’s very first vertical farm may be established there, although the idea has now attracted considerable interest from architects, scientists and governments all over the world. (5)The list of benefits of the vertical farm is indeed long. To start with, crop production would no longer be limited by seasons or be impacted by poor whether. The farm itself would behave like a functional ecosystem in which waste is recycled to be used over and over again. By supplying a continuous quantity of fresh vegetables and fruits to city residents, such farms would help prevent health problems, some of which arise from the lack of quality food in our diet. They wouldn't only improve urban life, but also help to restore the land that was damaged by traditional farming. For every indoor acre farmed, some 10 to 20 outdoor acres of farmland could be allowed to return to their original state. The vertical farm would also create new employment opportunities for the expanding populations of urban centers, certain in which abandoned properties could become productive once again. (6)Moreover, vertical farms would produce crops that contain no added chemicals. The farms would greatly reduce air pollution, since they would eliminate the need for heavy farm machines and trucks that deliver food from farm to fork. Think how great it would be if everything on your plate came from around the corner, rather than from hundreds or thousands of miles away. The structures themselves would be things of beauty and grace. In order to allow plants to capture sunlight, walls and ceilings would be completely transparent. So from a distance, it would look as if there were gardens suspended in space. (7)While experimental vertical farming projects in the US and the UK have shown very positive results thus far, it is important to bear in mind that the science of vertical farming still has a long way to go. To be successful in the long term, vertical farming will still need to prove that it is economically efficient, especially with respect to energy and urban land costs. 本文の原文→http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/24/opinion/24Despommier.html?_r=1&

The actual losers were the weakest element in the game: the Germans behind the Iron Curtain and all those who had hoped for the restoration of Germans unity. The planned summit of the Big Three in 1953 was reduced to a conference of the three Western foreign ministers. He had been convinced that the West could negotiate with the Soviets based on a ‘position of strength’ in order to ward off the danger of an nuclear war.

    英文の和訳で困っています　和訳を教えていただきたいです よろしくお願いします！！ The second new building was the amphitheatre, financed by the same two colonists, Quinctius Valgus and Porcius, but at a slightly later date. The official title was actually not ampbitbeatron, a Greek term used of such buildings only at a later date, but the Latin SPECTACULA. This reflects the fact that the entertainments staged in the arena were of purely Roman type, the gladiatorial combats and wild-beast hunts which had evolved in central Italy, perhaps from games conducted at funeral, and whose brutality and bloodshed set them apart from the popular entertainments of the Greeks. As such, the amphitheatre may have been designed, initially at least, to respond more to the demands of the Roman colonists than to those of the indigenous Pompeians: it may be significant that the founders here felt it necessary to state that they were acting ‘’for the honour of the colony’’ and did so ‘’at their own expense’’.
