so intimate is the relation between a language and the people who speak it that the two can scarcely be thought of apart. A language lives only so long as there are people who speak it and use it as native tongue, and its greatness is only that given to it by these people. 質問部分 最後の部分greatness is only that given to it by these people.のitがなにを示しているのかがわかりません。 ちなみに参考書の和訳にはこういった人々によって与えられる偉大さにほかならない。と書かれています。 よろしくお願いします

最初は倒置で so intimate that ~ speak it, use it と同じで、its greatness も、it もともに it は a language です。 ある言語は以下である限りにおいてのみ、生き長らえる。 それ(その言語)を母語として話し使う人がいる限りにおいて。 ここで切れて、and 以下は so long as 節に含まれません。 そして、その(言語の)偉大さは~と主語になって、 is that、この that は that of ~などでおなじみ。 the greatness のことです。 その偉大さは、given 以下のそれ(偉大さ)である。 このような話し使う人々によってその言語に与えられる、 (そういう)偉大さである。

    So intimate is the relation between a language and the people who speak it that the two can scarcely be thought of apart. A language lives only so long as there are peo- ple who speak it and use it as their native tongue, and its greatness is only that given to it by these people. A language is important because the people who speak it are important-politically, economically, commercialally, social-ly, culturally. English, French, and German are great and important languages ​​because they are the languages ​​of great and important peoples; for this reason they are widely studied outside the country of their use. -A.

  • 以下の英文の和訳をお願いします。

    長いので部分的にでも一向に構いませんのでお願いします。 Late in the last century these epthes focused on the Irish , and often , it must be said, they were as witty as they were wounding. 注 epthes=descriptive phrases of praise or blame used of a person. この後アイルランドでは昔~と言う単語は・・・を意味したといった文がいくつか並び。 Now almost the only slur against these fine people is to get one's Irish up , and that isn't really taken as an insult. So objective evidence , even among the authorities is, not always easy to come by. not always easy to come by.は「いつも見つけるのは簡単ということはない」見たいな意味だと思うのですがSo objective evidence以下は良くわかりません。

    構文が読み取れないので文法的に教えてください。 Speech is so familiar a feature od daliy life that we rarely pause to difine it. It seems as natural to man as walking, and only less so than breathing. 和訳はあるのでなんとなく分かります。しかし、倒置などいろいろと文法的要素が詰まっているので出来る限り解説してください。 as natural to man as というのはas asの間にこのような感じにto~がが入ることがあると理解しておけばよいでしょうか。 and only less so than breathing.これ「呼吸するに比べてわずかに自然でないとはいえ」と訳出していますが、よくわかりません。 御願いします。

    Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it.Our civilization is decadent and our language ーso the argument runs ー must inevitably share in the general collapse. 最後の一文だけで結構です。 特にダッシュで挟まれているところの訳がうまくできません。 それと、ダッシュ二つで挟まれている時と一つしかついていない時とでは用法がちがうのでしょうか? これも、教えてくださると助かります。

    There is some evidence that these improvements in the characteristics of elders have resulted in more positive views of aging. Tibbitts claimed that during the past 30 to 40 years, U.S. society has moved from holding negative stereotypes of old people to holding positive views in which elders are seen as being able to contribute to the quality of life for themselves, their communities, and society as a whole. Schonfield even argued that the assumption of negative attitudes toward old people is a "social myth" perpetuated by the gerontological literature. We will be examining these attitudes in derail in Chapter 2, but there does appear to be a substantial shift from negative to positive attitudes. The improvements in the physical, mental,social, and economic characteristics of elders have been so marked, and there have been so many programs and services developed for elders only, that many have begun to criticize these programs as discrimination in favor of the aged, or positive ageism. We will be discussing examples of positive ageism throughout this book; but the ones that have drawn most criticism so far are the Medicare program and some features of the Social Security System, such as the automatic cost of living increases in benefits and the tax-exemption of Social Security benefits for most elders. Perhaps these programs have been criticized the most because they involve the most money. Critics are beginning to argue that since elders are no longer deprived economically and since they are now much better off mentally, physically, and socially than they were in the past, it is no longer necessary or fair to continue the enormous expense of these special supports and programs available only to elders. Some argue that the way to reduce positive ageism is to make these supports and programs available to all ages on the basis of need. For example, they recommend that the national health insurance, which only elders now enjoy, be extended to all ages. It is clear that positive ageism is becoming an important issue and promises to become even more important as we are faced with more older people and more expensive programs for "seniors only."

    Individuals differ greatly in the degree to which culture shock affects them. Although not common, there are individuals who cannot live in foreign countries. However, those who have seen people go through culture shock and on to a satisfactory adjustment usually agree that the process develops in stages. During the first few weeks most individuals are fascinated by the new. They stay in hotels and associate with local people who speak their language and are polite and considerate to foreigners. This honeymoon stage may last from a few days or weeks to six months, depending on circumstances. If one is important, he or she will be treated as an honored guest, will be escorted, entertained and given every comfort, and in a press interview will speak warmly about goodwill and international friendship.

    英文の和訳をお願いします。 A useful tool at this point would be an account of bulimia that is both plausible and parsimonious. It should be plausible in that it fits the known facts about bulimia, and it should be parsimonious in that the phenomenon is not overexplained by many concomitant, nonindependent forces. An appropriate theory should define the people at risk for the disorder as well as those not at risk. A good theory should also describe the process of acquiring the symptoms themselves. None of the existing theories can do all of these things. Although the sociocultural approach can define who is at risk, it neither effectively defines who is not at risk nor how bulimics acquire the binge-eating behavior. The clinical perspective is well suited to defining who is at risk and who is not at risk but has not carefully spelled out how it is that the symptoms are acquired. The epidemiological approach, like the clinical approach, is better suited to defining risk factors than to describing processes of symptom acquisition. I wish to propose a model that is well suited to describing the symptom acquisition process, based on social psychological processes.

    The study suggests people who speak two languages may find it easier to pay attention than those who can speak only one language. It found differences in the way bilingual brains and the brains of people who speak one language process speech sounds. Bilingual people are better at picking out a syllable such as “da” or “ta”, even when other people are talking at the same time. That difference in hearing also seems to improve the attention and memory of those who speak more than one language, they say. “Because you have two languages in your head, you become very good at choosing what is relevant and what is not. You are a mental juggler,” says Nina Kraus, a professor of neurobiology at Northwestern, who was part of the study team. 1.4~5行目のBilingual people are better at picking out a syllable such as “da” or “ta”の意味はわかるのですが、いまいちピンときません。da, taの音節を識別するというのは具体的にどういうことですか? 2.第二段落3~4行目のyou become very good at choosing what is relevant and what is not.の意味がよくわかりません。relevantはここではどういう意味で、what is relevant and what is notを選ぶのがうまくなるというのはどういう意味ですか? わかる方解説のほどよろしくお願いします。

    Nearly 500 languages vantshed in the 20th century in Africa and South America, and it is not only languages in developing nations that are at risk. Languages like Danish,Welsh, and Dutch are undoubtedly under threat, and the cultures of these countries and their unique world views may be lost. If all Danish people switch to English, then they will increasingly become unable to read and understand the books that have contributed to their culture and identity. This trend has been called cultural imperialism by those who view this development negatively. There have been other dominant languages in the past: Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Latin, and others. What the have in common is that today no one speaks them as a living language. However their influene on our modern cultures is indisputable. Although Latin "died, " it evolved into Spanish,French,ltalian, Portuguese,and heavily influenced English. よろしくお願いしますm(_ _)m
