This illustrates the difference between American and Japanese attitudes towards verbal communication . In the United States, and in most Western countries in fact, it is important to say something, and say it as soon as possible. Silence is considered emptiness, a loss for wards, or worse, a loss of intellect. In most cases silence would not be interpreted as a time for reflection, agreement, understading or consent-or at times refusal-as is the case in Japan. 和訳 これは言葉による伝達に対するアメリカ人と日本人の違いを表しています。アメリカとほとんどの西洋諸国では実際のところ、何か言うこと、加えて、できるだけ早く言うことが大事なのです。沈黙は無意味、言葉がでないこと、もっと悪ければ知性の欠如とみなされます。ほとんどの場合、日本ではよくあることですが考察や同意、理解、承認（時には拒否）とは解釈されないでしょう。

A child is expected to respond, and to do it right away. Looking down and saying nothing at all is o ften interpreted as refusal to answer or even outright dediance. If the teacher interprets the silence as rejection or rebellion, she may snap back, "Well, say something! Don't just sit there!" 和訳 子どもは返事をそれも直ちにすることを期待される。うつむいて無言でいることは、しばしば回答の拒絶かあからさまな反抗と解釈される。もし先生がその沈黙を拒絶や反抗と解釈したら、彼女は次のようにピシッと対応するだろう。「そら、何かを言いなさい。ただそこに座っているんじゃなくて！」

次の文を読み、【 】内を和訳せよ。 I want to talk about memory ― memory and the loss of memory ― about remembering and forgetting. My own memory was never a good one, but such as it is, or was, I am beginning to lose it, and I find this both a worrying and an interesting process. What do I forget? 【I won't say everything.】 普通に考えれば「私は何も言いたくない」ですが違うらしいのです どういう意味なのでしょうか？

和訳お願いします。 We only see it when we look at a star or when it is reflected from some objects. When no light reaches our eyes, we say that we "see"blackness, or darkness. Blackness is not a color. It has no light. In space, objects are very far away. The stars the astronauts see are many trillions of miles from them and from each other. They also see a few things, such as the moon, that reflect light. But there`s nothing in most of the space around them.So, space looks black to them.

以下の英文を和訳していただける方のみで。 お願いできますでしょうか？ 多分難解ではなさそうです。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 When will you meet?; Your own spirit always knows the answer, it knows what’s ahead, like a memory but in reverse. So much of one’s spirit is below the surface, like a lake, where you cannot see the depth and all is smooth an unchanged like a mirror as though ages slip by and nothing alters, all is still. The world of love un-flickering and remote from your every day life, but underneath everything is felt, echoed magnified, the waiting heart yearns and cries in silence, the soul reaches out in advance of time to clasp the moment of being together. The boundaries of time are like ice on water or like the skin on a jug of hot milk, dividing the two worlds, spirit and material, dream and reality, emptiness and love, liquid and solid.

以下の英文を和訳していただける方に。 お願いできますか？ ミスなどありましたら、ご指摘いただけるとありがたいです。 どうぞよろしくお願いします。 At some stage there will be the disappearance of a legacy, a lost or missing will, that he should benefit from but is embezzled by others.. He likes mystery stories and occult, or curious beliefs and even if he doesn’t admit to it, he is superstitious at root. He will think certain things bring him luck, or certain places bode him no good. In his wardrobe. He has an old long grey coloured rain coat that flops around his legs. He may only wear it in wet or dull dank dark weather. It is not as good as it looks, there is something ghostly and mournful about it, reminiscent of an old film, or dream, misty past life memory. He wears it in a lazy lingering way, unfastened. It makes him look thinner and as if from another time, and somehow haunting.

Anxiety is a normal emotion that all people experience to some extent. Indeed, anxiety is generally seen as an essential part of the adaptive response to stressful or threatening stimuli. An appropriate amount of anxiety heightens caution and awareness in potentially dangerous or stressful situations, and so constitutes part of the "fight or flight" response. The feeling manifested in this anxious state is somewhat difficult to define, but may be described as a sense of unpleasant anticipation and excessive mental tension. Most people accept occasional anxiety as an integral part of normal life, but a significant number of individuals experience anxiety that is chronic, uncontrollable, and comletely out of proportion to the generating stimulus. In such individuals, anxiety has ceased to serve an adaptive purpose; it has become pathological, or, in other words, an anxiety disorder.

Senescence, according to the dictionary, simply means the process or condition of "growing old". However, to biologists and psychologists it connotes "those manifestations in structure and function of a declining or deteriorating nature which take place during the period of life when the mortality rate of a population is accelerated". It also implies progressive and irreversible deterioration. Thus, the connotations are entirely negative. It ignores all the recovery, restoration, growth, development, and improvement of abilities that are possible as humans age. The assumption that senescence or deterioration is all there is to human aging is a negative from of ageism. On the other hand, to deny the senescence or declines in function that usually accompany aging is a positive from of ageism. Senility is defined as "the physical and mental infirmity of old age. It is not actually a medical or scientific term, but it is often used by doctors and laypeople alike to "explain" the behavior and condition of older people. Many of the reactive emotional responses of older people, such as depression, grief, and anxiety, are labeled senility and mistakenly considered to be irreversible and untreatable. This is another form of ageism. Actual brain damage from cerebral arteriosclerosis or Alzheimer's disease probably accounts for only about half of the mental disorders in old age. Only 5 to 10 percent of those over 65 have mental disorders severe enough to interfere with normal function.

One of real-world smart houses’ key selling points is their ability to meet, and even anticipate, their occupants’ needs. Fictional smart houses, on the other hand, often seem as indifferent to their occupants as an industrial assembly line is to the “product” that rolls along it. The twenty-first-century apartment depicted in the animated TV series The Jetsons(1962) neatly illustrates this point. George Jetson, every morning of his working life, is ejected from his bed and propelled into the bathroom, where the robotic arms of the Dress-O-Matic comb, brush, shave, and dress him. He emerges perfectly groomed for the office, but the process is so automated―and George so overpowered by it―that he is not so much awakened as remanufactured. A mannequin or orangutan would, if placed in the bed a moment before the alarm went off, emerge from the bathroom looking as much like George Jetson as biology allowed. George’s disastrous encounter with the apartment’s dog-walking treadmill shown behind the closing credits of each episode makes the same point: the machine, not the man, is in charge. よろしくお願いします＾＾；
