英語:修飾語の位置に関する質問
英文誤読の真相88についての質問です。 No.45 There are few things more distinctive about a person than their hair. Dark or blonde, wavy or straight, thick or balding: all these different possibilities add immediately to the pictures we build up in our minds of someone we have never met. of someoneはthe picturesを修飾していると説明されています。 なぜ、of someone はour mindsを修飾しないのでしょうか。 解説にはthe picturesに修飾していると考えないと意味・訳が変になると記載されております。 そのほかに文構造や文法上のルールで理由付けすることはできないでしょうか。 理由付けが出来る方がいらっしゃいましたら、ご回答して頂けたら幸いです。よろしくお願いいたします。

- 英語の文法的な構造が分かりません。
内容は理解できるのですが、文法的な構造が分かりません。 最初のThe categories and typesを受ける動詞がどれなのか教えていただけると助かります。 The categories and types that we isolate from the world of phenomena we do not find there because they stare every observer in the face; on the contrary, the world is presented in a kaleidoscopic flux of impressions which has to be organized by our mindsーand this means largely by the linguistic systems in our minds.

- ここでのcomplementingの意味
It's easy to assume that we live in a scary, hateful world. Everyday the news is filled with stories that show the worst in humanity. It doesn't help that we barely connect with one another, living our days consumed with our needs and responsibilities. This may be what we are led to believe, since our humanity is tested everyday of our lives. Whether it's the simple act of stopping your busy day to give someone directions, complementing someone out of the blue, or simply smiling to a complete stranger. この文のcomplementing someone out of the blueとはどういう意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

「注文が集中し遅延する場合や、出張などにより商品発送を行わない期間は、おしらせします。」を英語で言うと、 We inform you in case of shipping delay occuring by rush of orders,or in case we don't ship because of our going away on buisiness. 怪しいと思っているのは、 １．in case を２回使っているのは、ぎこちないのでしょうか？ ２．delay にたいする動詞がoccur でよいのか？ ３．ship は他動詞なのに、目的格がいらないのか？ ４．「出張」の表現 です。ほかにもおかしいのかもしれません。いい表現があればお教えいただけませんでしょうか？

To be able to cover ourselves from the possibilities of liability lawsuits,we have been advised by our legal department that warning signs should be placed，concerning the possibility of slipping on wet floors. (賠償責任で訴えられる可能性から我々自身の身を守るために、床が濡れているためすべる危険性があるという警告を表示しておくべきだと、我々はわが社の法務部から忠告を受けている。) 質問1：that warning signs should be placed，concerning the possibility of slipping on wet floors. の英文について、何故concerning～の英文の直前にカンマがあるのですか？これは一体どういう働きをしているのですか？ 質問２：concerning the possibility of slipping on wet floors.は、warning signsを説明していますが、何故warning signsの直後に置いて修飾しないんですか？ この理由は、「修飾語句や節が、大枠の文の終わりに比べて長い場合は、先にその大枠の文の終わりを書いてから、その後ろにその修飾語句や節を書く」と云う英文の原則があるからですか？ この英文では、大枠の文の終わりであるwarning signs should be placedよりconcerning the possibility of slipping on wet floors. の方が長いから、後ろに持ってかれているということですか？

Our next exploration will be into the sizes of things. We shall discover something of the network of interrelationships between living things and the necessary aspects of environments that are life-supporting. This path will take us back in time to the origins of humanity; but, at the end of this road, we shall find unexpected clues about the origins of aesthetics, the haunting appeal of pictures and landscapes, and the importance of symmetry for living things. These insights will shed new light on our responses to modern computer-generated art, and will help us to appreciate what we require of man-made landscapes if they are to soothe or stimulate us. (The artful universe by J.D.Barrow） 最後のand will help us to appreciate what we require of man-made landscapes if they are to soothe or stimulate us.のところがよくわかりません。 1）what we require of man-made landscapesのrequire of は、「～に要求する」という意味にとるのでしょうか？それとも「～を必要とする」ですか？ 2）if they are to soothe or stimulate usのtheyはman-made landscapesのことですか？ 3）ここのwill help us to appreciate～they are to soothe or stimulate us.の部分を訳してみたのですが、 もし、人工風景が私たちをやわらげ、刺激するようであるならば、これらの洞察（These insights）は私たちが人工風景に要求すること（人工風景を必要とすること？）を高く評価することを助けるでしょう。 （These insights＝we shall find unexpected clues about the origins of aesthetics, the haunting appeal of pictures and landscapes, and the importance of symmetry for living things.だと思いますが） どういうことを言っているのでしょうか？ いまひとつ内容が入ってきません。 よろしくお願いいたします。

As seen by members of other nations, this emphasis on questioning and searching is bad for young people's "manners." Foreigners often feel a great lack of respect in our youth. It is true that many do become rude. Foreign visitors are often startled and frequently annoyed to find junior staff members daring to challenge older executives or argue points with them; they do not always like it when these young men or women make detailed but often revolutionary suggestions. One's own blueprints, reports, or analyses may be scrutinized in detail perhaps even challenged by a young person. This is not to be considered an insult or loss of face; nor is it an indication of "no confidence." Our whole approach to research is different. We try not to emphasize the personal. Your ideas are being looked at, not you yourself. To us the two are quite separate. This is the way our minds work. We are seeking facts; we are not challenging you as a person.

Research projicts follow the trends of their times, and life span psychology has developed as the post-war baby boom generation has matured. The current wave of research into ageing and care of the elderlu, for example, can be seen as directly resulting from that generation reaching retirement age. LIFE-TRANSITIONS Gould(1978) developed the idea that adult life consists of a series of transitions, or life changes, which occur ar different times in our lives. The first of these is that of adjusting to the responsibilities of being independent and living away from parental care. Looking after ourselves without someone in the background is quite different from the kinf of independence which occurs when living as part of family group, where there is always someone to fall back on, or to look after you if you become ill. This transition, Gould argued takes place usually between the ages of 16 and 22. Then there is another transition, which takes place during our twenties, in which we develop our own competences and autonomy, and choose our rulus to live by, rather than simply conforming to our parents' rules and principles. A third transition, according to Gould, happens between 28 and 34, as we come to know ourselves better, and learn to come to terms with aspects of our nature which we weren't really aware of before. And the final transition involves accepting that life isn't going to last for ever━that is, developing a sence of our own mortality. This final transition, Gould argued, happens between the ages of 35 and 45.

Or, again adopting the convenient terminology of Clifford, we must always remember that we can never know the mental . states of any mental beings other than ourselves as objects ; we can only know them as ejects^ or as ideal projections of our own mental states. And it is from this broad fact of psycho logy that the difficulty arises in applying our criterion of mind to particular cases — especially among the lower animals. For if the evidence of mind, or of being capable of choice, must thus always be ejective as distinguished from objective, it is clear that the cogency of the evidence must diminish as we recede from minds inferred to be like our own, towards minds inferred to be not so like our own, passing in a gradual series into not-minds. Or, otherwise stated, although the evidence derived from ejects is practically regarded as good in the case of mental organizations inferred to be closely analogous to our own, this evidence clearly ceases to be trust worthy in the ratio in which the analogy fails ; so that when we come to the case of very low animals — where the analogy is least — we feel uncertain whether or not to ascribe to them any ejective existence. But I must again insist that this fact — which springs immediately but of the fundamental isolation of the individual mind — is no argument against my criterion of mind as the best criterion available; it [it=the fact] tends, indeed, to show that no better criterion can be found, for it shows the hopelessness of seeking such.
