性別が判ればhe/sheなのでは
NHKからの抜粋です Experts say an elephant forced out of its herd can experience stress and loneliness that cause it to go on rampages. 日本語記事によると、意味は次のようです 専門家によりますと、群れから追い出された象が孤独とストレスを感じると今回のように暴れることもある 後で全文を追加しますが、追い出される象はオスです。それが判っているのに"it"なのは何故でしょうか。himが良いと思います。昔、習った英語では"it"と呼ぶのは性別が不明な場合の非常手段で、全く不適切だと先生から言われた記憶があります。 全文です Wild elephant attacks car in Thai national park A wild elephant has gone on a rampage in a national park in Thailand. Park officials are warning tourists of further possible attacks. A *male* elephant was caught on camera on Saturday as it climbed onto the hood of a car on a road in Khao Yai National Park, northeast of Bangkok. It later shattered windows of a nearby grocery store. Local media say a total of four cars have been damaged in the park this month by elephant attacks. It's not clear whether the same animal is to blame. Experts say an elephant forced out of its herd can experience stress and loneliness that cause it to go on rampages.

he／sheを使うのは「人間であること」を英語圏の文化では前提としていると思います。 ただ、その動物が筆者にとって身近なものである場合he／sheを使うことが多いです。これは親しみを込めた使い方であり、固い表現が必要とされる場合は相応しくないと思います。 「昔、習った英語では"it"と呼ぶのは性別が不明な場合の非常手段で、全く不適切だ」というのは筆者に対する配慮があるからだと思います。本来、動物は性別が分かっていても「it」であるべきだと思います。

ペットのような場合は家族みたいなもので雄雌に応じて he, she を使うこともありますが、 ペットの場合も含めて動物を it で表すのは至って普通です。 非常手段でも何でもありません。

普通は動物にはit使いますよ。 自分のペットなんかの場合はhe/she使ったりもしますが、動物を指す場合は普通はitです。
いい質問ですね。私も正直動物を sheで指すか、heで指すか、itで指すかの具体的かつ学術的判断基準はわかりませんので、本カテの他の優秀な回答者のお答えを楽しみしたいと思います。 個人的には 特に個人的に思い入れがなく、単なる動物の場合で性別がわかっていない場合＝it 親しみがあり、まま擬人化する事もある身近な存在である場合= he or she としている様な気がします。最終的にはhim でも it でも差し支えないと思いますが記事の場合では it と無機質な言い方でも構わないではないかと思います。

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for yeas. Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon in an attempt to better understand long-term loneliness. These researchers have already identified three different types of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation-for example, a divorce, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. Situational loneliness is easy to understand and to predict.

The Hindenburg Line (Siegfriedstellung or Siegfried Position) was a German defensive position of World War I, built during the winter of 1916–1917 on the Western Front, from Arras to Laffaux, near Soissons on the Aisne. In 1916, the German offensive at the Battle of Verdun had been a costly failure. The Anglo-French offensive at the Battle of the Somme had forced a defensive battle on the Germans, leaving the western armies (Westheer) exhausted. On the Eastern Front, the Brusilov Offensive had inflicted huge losses on the Austro-Hungarian armies in Russia and forced the Germans to take over more of the front. The declaration of war by Romania had placed additional strain on the German army and war economy. Construction of the Hindenburg Line in France was begun by the Germans in September 1916, to make a retirement from the Somme front possible, to counter an anticipated increase in the power of Anglo-French attacks in 1917.

On 25 May, three German columns attacked a salient north-west of Bray-en-Laonnois and gained a footing in the French first trench, before being forced out by a counter-attack. On 26 May German attacks on salients east and west of Cerny were repulsed and from 26–27 May, German attacks between Vauxaillon and Laffaux Mill broke down. Two attacks on 28 May at Hurtebise were defeated by French artillery-fire and on the night of 31 May – 1 June, attacks by the Germans west of Cerny also failed. On the morning of 1 June after a heavy bombardment, German troops took some trenches north of Laffaux Mill and were then pushed out in the afternoon. On 2 June a bigger German attack began, after an intensive bombardment of the French front, from the north of Laffaux to the east of Berry-au-Bac. On the night of 2/3 June, two German divisions made five attacks on the east, west and central parts of the Californie Plateau and the west end of the Vauclerc Plateau. The Germans attacked in waves, at certain points advancing shoulder-to-shoulder, supported by flame-thrower detachments and gained some ground on the Vauclerc Plateau, until French counter-attacks recovered the ground. Despite the French holding improvised defences and the huge volumes of German artillery-fire used to prepare attacks, the German organised counter-attacks (Gegenangriffe) met with little success and at Chevreux north-east of Craonne, the French had even pushed further into the Laon Plain.

確認をしたいのでよろしくお願いいたします！ In the middle of the war on terrorism, the federal government needs a more secure system to protect the hoeland , one that doesn't depend on the chance rate of 60%. Unfortunately, most of the devices now available, like the polygraph, detect not the lie but anxiety about the lie. The polygraph measures physiological responses to stress, like increases in blood pressure and rate of breathing , and so on. So it can miss the most dangerous liars: the ones who don't care that they're lying, or have been been trained to lie. It can also miss the true believers willing to die for the cause.

The bad weather conditions however soon forced him to change the starting date several times until it was determined that the British main attack should commence on 24 of April and the rest on 30 of April. In accordance the British began the 2nd Battle of Doiran according to schedule but were soon forced to call off their attacks as it became clear that the rest of the Allies were not able to deliver their attacks on time. The dates for the attacks were finally set for the 5 of May in the Crna Bend and 8 of May in the Serbian and British sectors. In the Crna Bend sector the planned attack was assigned to the left right of the French Army of the East - the so-called First Group of Divisions(under the command of General Georges Lebouc) and to the Italian Expeditionary Force. Its primary task was to penetrate all Bulgarian and German lines in the direction of the town of Prilep and thus threaten the rear of the Bulgarian forces around the Vardar and Monastir. General Sarrail had surveyed the area and determined that the Italians and French should deliver a frontal assault against almost the entire length of the defensive line which caused serious doubt about the final success of the operation among the Italian and French commanders. In order to strengthen the Allies Sarrail also attached a Russian infantry brigade to the Crna sector forces a few days before the attack. The Bulgarians and Germans were well aware of the impending Allied offensive and decided to rely on the strength of their well prepared fortifications, strong artillery and machine gun fire while also placing as many troops as possible in the first lines and preparing sufficient reserves in case the Allies achieved a breakthrough and the need for strong counter-attacks arose.

Loneliness The feeling of loneliness pervades old age, even for old persons still living with their spouses. It is especially prevalent among women and among women especially among widows (Lopata, 1975). In fact, loneliness is the major difficulty faced by widows (treas, 1975). Among the other consequences of loneliness is reduced appetite, which could result in malnutrition (Weg, 1975); but the one inevitable consequence of loneliness is reduced satisfaction with life. The quality of life cannot be satisfactory if one is ridden with loneliness, social isolation, and bitterness. お願いします。
