Most workers explain their tardiness or absence with pro-saic tales of dead batteries, missed trains or common colds. ほとんどの労働者が、バッテリー切れとか列車の乗り遅れとか普通の風邪といった他愛のない作り話で自分の遅刻や欠勤を説明します。 But from a creative minority come explanations such as 'someone stole one of my shoes on the bus.' しかし創造的な少数派からは、「バスの中で誰かが私の片方の靴を盗みました」というような説明が飛び出します。 One hundred executives at the United States' 1000 largest companies were asked in a survey to describe some of the more unusual alibis they have heard. アメリカの1000大会社の100人の役員が、彼らの聞いた最も異常なアリバイのいくつかを記述するよう、ある調査で依頼されました。 'We're not talking about standard reasons,' said Robert Half, whose employment company commissioned the survey. ロバート・ハーフの雇用会社がその調査を委託したのですが、その彼が言うには、「我々は標準的理由などについて言っているのではありません」。 Some examples : ' Suddenly, the doors of the armored car in front of me opened up, and $10 bills started flying out,' causing a traffic jam. (彼があげた)若干の例。 「急に、私の前の装甲車のドアが開いて、10ドル紙幣が外に舞い始めたんです」、それが交通渋滞を引き起こしたんです。

In some cultures parents name their babies for qualities they want them to have;for example,some American girls have names like Joy and Grace,and some Mexican girls are named Esperanza,or "hope". In many cultures, babies are named after relatives,dead or alive,or famous people. In some cultures,who names the baby is a serious matter. That privilege is often reserved for the mother, father,or an uncle. In parts of Africa, the baby helps decide;someone reads a list of names,and when the baby sneezes, it gets the last name that was read. Some Malaysian parents follow the same practice but instead of waiting for the baby to sneeze,they wait for it to smile.

    Nowhere is the need to clause bills of lading greater than in the case of rust.Without exception, whenever a consighment of steel is rusty, this should be stated on the bills of lading. 「bill of lading」より船舶関係で「rust, steel」より鉄の貨物が錆びている時の話だと思うですが、最初の方の意味が取りにくいです。 よろしくお願いします。

    Some Europeans who ride rush-hour trains in Tokyo find the experience so unbearable that they get up more than an hour earlier to take a less crowded train that stops at every station rather than suffer the squeezing and pushing of an express train at rush hour. The crowded trains are also the most common complaint of many of my returnee students when they first come back from the United States or Europe. 日本語訳 東京でラッシュアワーの列車に乗ったヨーロッパ人は、その経験はとても耐えがたいとわかる、そこでなるべく混まない、ギュウギュウに押し込まれることに耐える快速便ではなく、各駅停車の列車に乗れるように1時間以上早く起きる。 混み合う列車は、アメリカやヨーロッパから最初に帰国した時の、多くの私の帰国生の最もよくある不満でもある。

But the main ideas have to do with possible shifts in winds and currents that are causing surface heat to be pulled down faster than before. The deep-ocean theory is one of a half-dozen explanations that have been proffered for the warming plateau. Perhaps the answer will turn out to be some mix of all of them. And in any event, computer forecasts of climate change suggest that pauses in warming lasting a couple of decades should not surprise us.

    Said one commentator about the Hangzhou rescue: “Yesterday [US President] Obama had a beer with out-of-work construction workers. Today, I see a story about an American tourist jumping into the water to save someone. I finally realized why America is such a strong country and will continue to be one.” By Tuesday afternoon, more than 9.3 million people had posted comments on the toddler’s accident on Sina’s Weibo, the leading microblog, or Tencent Holdings’ QQ service. Far fewer commented on the Hangzhou rescue — in the scores of thousands — but those who did raised the same ethical questions. In an unscientific online survey conducted by the Web site ifeng.com, the 170,000 respondents, who voted on their own initiative, judged by a wide margin that the toddler’s case was proof that the Chinese people’s morals and mutual trust were eroding under the pressures of modern society. Yet the question of compassion in Chinese society is not a new one. In 1894, an American missionary, Arthur H. Smith, wrote an influential book, Chinese Characteristics, in which an entire chapter, Absence of Sympathy, raised some of the same questions.

    This study was designed to discern whether reluctance to waste, perceived progress, or both explanations jointly are responsible for observed endowed progress effects. Method Subjects. Participants were 146 undergraduate business students at a major West Coast university who participated in this along with several other studies for course credit. Stimuli and Design. The design was a 2 (progress: onethird or one-sixth complete)#2 (endowment value: $12.50 or $30.00) between-subjects, full-factorial design with a separate control condition. To disentangle the competing explanations of wasted investment versus perceived progress, our design specifies a dollar value for the endowed progress. Participants in this study completed a scenario-based, paper-and-pencil study. The study explained that a popular restaurant on campus was considering instituting a frequent buyer program. This study captures the essential decision making that likely occurs when consumers are confronted with enrolling in a frequency program, whether it requires signing up or just keeping the loyalty card in one’s wallet. In the control surveys, customers had to purchases 10 lunches in order to earn a free lunch of identical value. Customers had not yet made any purchases, such that there was no progress toward their goal, real or perceived. There were four such scenarios that differed only in the required cost of each purchase ($2.50, $6.00, $6.25, or $15.00). These studies provided a baseline measure. In the four scenarios that comprised the test conditions or cells, the amount of purchases required, the size of the endowment, and the cost of each purchase were each varied in order to manipulate perceived progress and endowment value simultaneously. In two scenarios, participants were told that because they were first-time patrons they would receive two of 12 credits toward the reward (each credit worth the equivalent of one purchase in dollars), and, in the other two scenarios, they were told they would receive five of 15 credits, such that they were endowed with progress of one-sixth or one-third, respectively. These endowments manipulate the fraction of the task yet to complete; in the former, five-sixths must still be completed, and in the latter, only four-sixths remain. The dollar amount of a purchase varied and was crossed such that the total dollar value of the endowment was either $12.50 or $30.00 (5#$2.50 p 2#$6.25 p $12.50, 5#$6.00 p 2#$15.00 p $30.00). See table 1 for a detailed summary of the design. Respondents were then asked how likely they would be to register for the program, how attractive they thought the program would be to diners, and how likely they would be to earn the reward on a nine-point scale. These measures served as the dependent variable.
