１．"my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character." 私の4人の小さい子供たちは、いつか彼らが皮膜の色ではなく、人格で判断される国に、（ある日）住んでみたいとおもって(希望して）います。 they will not be judged（判断されない） by the color of their skin（皮膚の色で） but (しかし） the content of their character.（彼らのキャラクターで） not be judged by A but (by) B と言う形で、否定の否定→ B が選ばれ、判断されると言う意味です。 2.の英文 45年後の2008年11月に、バラク・オバマ（アフリカ系アメリカ人）はアメリカ合衆国大統領に選出されました。 （その出来事は） まるで Dr. Kingの夢が正に実現したように、思われました。 記事は I have a dream....... のキング牧師に関する事でしょうね。

- not A but Bの構文
中3の英語の教科書からキング牧師のスピーチでの1節です。 I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. ・・・・彼らの肌の色ではなく, 彼らの性格の中身で判断される・・・・のところですが、 not A but Bだとする解説書がありました。 一方、持ってる文法の参考書では、Ａ，Ｂは語なら語、句なら句とありました。 有名なスピーチの一節だということを考えなければ、受験英文法的には【not】 の位置は下記でしょうか？ they will be judged 【not】 by the color of their skin 【but】 by the content of their character.

(1) Do you often talk on the phone for a long time？ I have a sister．Her name is Sachiko．She likes talking on the phone．She sometimes enjoys it for a long time．When my sister talks on the phone，my mother often says to her，so long．When someone needs to call us，he can't.” The telephone is very important in our life today． There are many useful things about it．For example，We can send messages very fast．We can talk easily with people all over the world． But we should remember some things when we use telephones．One night last month there was a phone call while I was sleeping．My family didn't answer it． So I got up and answered it．I said，“Hello．”A man said，“Hi，Takashi．Did you see the soccer game？ Who won？”“Takashi？ I think you have the wrong number，”I said．Then he hung up the phone．He didn't even say，“I'm sorry.”I got angry．My brother，Hideo，often calls late at night，but we should not do so if it is not urgent．Also，if we call the wrong number，We should say，“I'm sorry．” The telephone is very useful，but we should always remember some important things when we use it．Thank you for listening． (2) In 1963, Dr, Martin Luther King, Fr. stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., and gave his famous speech, "I Have a Dream." Dr. King spoke at a time when black Americans faced many difficulties. In some southern states, they could not vote. They could not use the same restaurants, hotels, theaters, or even restroom as whites. Black children had to go to separate schools. Dr.King dreamed of a country where "For Whites Only" signs world would come down everywhere, and people of all races could sit down together at the same table. He dreamed that "my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character."He dreamed of a day when America would truly be a land of freedom and justice for all. He dreamed of a day when "all of God's children-black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics-will be able to join hands and to sing the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last, Free at last; thank God Almighty, we are free at last." Forty-five years later, in November 2008, Barack Obama, an African-American, was elected President of the United States.

こんにちは。 お世話になります。 英語初学者です。 下記に挙げます英文が理解できず、困り果てております。 Emma was happy to entertain their friends, although many of them were closer in age to her father than to her. But on one of these evenings Emma was luckier because one of their neighbours brought a young friend with her. 教えていただきたいのですが、この場合の「with her」のherとは、Emmaを指しているのでしょうか？ それとも、「one of their neighbours」を指しているのでしょうか？ また、もしEmmaを指していた場合、ニュアンスとしては「彼女に合わせるために連れてきた」となるのでしょうか？ どなたか、教えてはいただけないでしょうか？ よろしくお願いいたします。

If I don't like living here,I will soon leave andeither go back to my own country of find another country where I can be more comfortable. It is true that some foreigners come to Japan to live but find that,after a short while, they don't like it and so decide to leave. But it seems to me that these people are few and the causes for their unhappiness in Japan are usually to be found in their own characters and not Japan itself. 和訳をお願いします＞＜ この英文の前にも文章がありますが、hereは「ここ」などと訳してもらって構いませんので。

“No. I go to school in Boston.” I disliked her for the answer. Whenever anyone has asked me where I went to school I come right out with it: Newark Colleges of Rutgers University. I may say it a bit too ringingly, too fast, too up-in-the-air, but I say it. For an instant Brenda reminded me of the pug-nosed little bastards from Montclair who come down to the library during vacations. While I stamp out their books, they stand around tugging their elephantine scarves until they hang to their ankles, hinting all the while at “Boston” and “New Haven.” 上記のWhile I stamp out their books, they stand around tugging their elephantine scarves until they hang to their anklesの意味する所が分かりません。 分かる方宜しくお願いします。

79% of Americans read no books, 83% not only read magazines but read them so faithfully that they pay in advance for them in order to receive them regularly. The total possible book-reading public was 30,000,000. The prepaid magazine-reading public was 125,000,000. It is very clear not only where most Americans get their ideas about politics, public events, geography, current history and current opinion, but also where they read whatever "literature" they read. 原文はもっと長いのですが、抜粋した上記の英文で、後段のIt is 以下の意味と文法的構成がよく分かりません。 Itはwhere 以下の先行形式主語なんでしょうか？ whatever "literature"に関し、解説では「いわゆる"文学作品"で(彼らの読むだけのもの)」literatureとは雑誌にのった文学作品を指す。とあります。 whatever "literature"が何故そのような意味になるのかが分かりません。 宜しくお願い致します。
