for the booksの意味
Getting on one knee and popping the big question is not as easy as it may seem. Not only does it take a lot of effort to work up the nerve to propose, it takes a lot of planning! Of course, you always have the option to take the simple route: take her out to dinner, get on one knee, and ask, "Will you marry me?" Or you can be creative (which is what most girls prefer) and make the proposal a memory for the books. この文のfor the booksとは何のことでしょうか？よろしくお願いします

for the books は、下記のように「特筆すべき」で、元々は、「（毎日どこでもあるような日常茶飯事ではなく）本にして（歴史に）残すような」という意味です。 http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=for+the+books

全体的に「求婚するのは至難のわざだ」という文章ですよね。最後の１節の意味は，「求婚を彼女の脳裏に刻まれる名演技にする」くらいだろうと思います。for the books は熟語で「特筆すべき」。

以下の英文は、ある海外のリゾートに泊まった人がそのホテルについて感想を書いたものです。 Oakmont is not a fancy resort, the units are small, and the view from the resort is not that great. It is comfortable and it is convenient to get into and get out of as you travel to the area attractions. This is one of those resorts that you choose because of the location, not the resort amenities. 質問は it is convenient to get into and get out of as you travel to the area attractions. という文についてです。 最初のitは何を指しているのでしょうか？ 単純に形式主語としてto get into and get out of を指しているのでしょうか？ それともthe hotelのようなものを指しているのでしょうか？（This book is difficult to readのような構文みたいに）

ある長文の中である五つの例文を訳していただきたいです。 1.But one is the richer in true and useful wisdom, the more one reads. 2.There are so many good books in the world that it is foolish to waste time on one that does not give you pleasure and profit (unless reading it is a requirement to pass an examination, or something like that). 3.However, if you find yourself bored by a book that many well-informed people regard as important and readable, be fair with yourself and confess that perhaps the shortcoming is not in the book but in you. 4.A book which now seems dull or difficult will prove easy to grasp and fascinating to read when you are more mature intellectually. 5.They lack the background and the maturity of mind necessary to meet the author of the book on his own intellectual level. 長ったらしいですが、分かる方は教えていただきたいです。 よろしくお願いします。

Consider an example closer to hand. You are reading a book printed on paper, though the same book also exists as a file on the computer I used to write it. It is more efficient to electronically mail this digital version to you than to print the file on paper, truck it to a warehouse, store it on a bookshelf, and wait for you to go to a bookstore and buy the book. If you could access the information content of a book as bits over a computer network, not only would it be far cheaper: books printed on paper might even become obsolete. The same holds true for music information sold as cassettes or CDs, for scholarly information published journals, and so on. お願いいたします。

アメリカのネットショップで小物を購入しました。商品のインボイスの事でメールが来ました。すみませんが意味を教えてくれませんか？お願いします。 All invoices already have the discount included in them apart from one of them which has sales items on it and we do not do further discount on already discounted items. Please check attachment. As for the credit note for the missing styles last time, you need to pass to your accountant the credit note that I have emailed to you. This cannot be further deducted of the invoices on our system, and therefore it is on a separate sheet. I have put the information of the discount on the 2 invoices. Please check and let me know if that will suffice.
