I have always taken for granted that pockets are places to put things into, and have stuffed my pockets with anything that would go into them―books, newspapers, letters, pipes, pouches, cigarettes, match-boxes, and so forth. Yet even as a boy I was discouraged from making this, as it seems to me, natural use of my pockets. I was told that, if you put things into your pockets, you spoilt the shape of your suit. This seems to me as ridiculous as it would be to say that, if you put potatoes into a sack, you spoil the shape of the sack.

take for ~ granted で「~を当然のことと思う」。ここでは~がthat以下の構文になっているので、for の後ではなくgrantedの後についています。 「私はポケットと言うものはものを入れるものだといつも思っていたし、実際入るものはなんでもポケットに詰め込んできました。本、新聞、手紙、パイプ、小袋、たばこ、マッチ箱、など何でも。しかしまだ子供の頃、それが当たり前のポケットの使い方と思っていたのに、それを止められました。もしポケットにものを入れたら、スーツの形を台無しにしてしまうと言われたのです。これは私にとって、例えばジャガイモをずた袋に入れたらずた袋の形を台無しにしてしまうと言うのと同じくらい馬鹿げたことのように思えました。 全体的には特別に難しい文章ではないので、単語をつないでいけば意味はわかると思います。最後の"as ridiculous as it would be to say that, ~" が仮定法が入っていて少し長いので迷うかもしれませんが、"it would be" は仮定法で実際には起こっていないことに対して、”ばかげている”。sayの後はwould beを受けて、実際には言っていないけど、もし言ったら。 ここのところだけ注意です。

    どなたか英文を翻訳していただける方が居ましたらぜひお願いいたします。 I hinted at the end of chapter 1 that while some people consider theory to be a mystification of practice, rather than a tool for disseminating or supporting it, I believe that theories help us to appreciate our practice with more depth and resonance. Ultimately, your response to what we've outlined in this book might be to suggest a theory of your own, based on your own thinking and experience - as some of the practitioners we've interviewed do. But be careful in supported by empirical evidence. The next stage is to work out how you can put your own informed opinions to the test and turn them into a sound theory. Finally, remember that this book is by no means the last word on anything. We hope to have last word on anything. We hope to have whetted your appetite to look at visual communication in more detail, and pointed you in the direction of alternative sources that will extend your knowledge even further.

    ある人からメールが来ました。 ネットで翻訳してみたんですが、意味が全くわからずメールを返せません。 お願い致します。 I'm somewhat serious.   I think we would make a beautiful family.  But I also think that we should date a bit longer... and I think that I should move to Japan.  I want to leave Guam...I've been here as long as I've wanted to.  You don't have another boyfriend or anything do you? I'm not one to rush into things either, but I just thought that I'd tell you that I'm really attracted to you and that I wouldn't mind procreating with you. Make sense? Anyway,  I'm thinking of you now!! Miss you so much!!!

    How do you stand the hardest part of running marathon? Many say that life is like marathon. Do you think that you can deal with the crisis in your life thanks to marathon? By the way corresponding with penpals, the reason I feel like I have difficulty writing is not because of my English. It is because the moment I cannot come up with anything I have to reply. Honestly speaking I am not a talkative person, but I try to talk more when writing. Nice and slow conversations are hard to come by, and the form of letter writing does put in a lot into thinking about what the other person has to say and how to respond. この二つが何となくはわかるのですが、自信がありません。教えていただけると助かります。
