A year ago we discussed getting engaged. Spencer said he'd propose sometime within the next year and last spring it seemed like he was working up the courage to do it. (He was talking about how happy he was and what he was seeing for our future). Then his best friend got his girlfriend pregnant and told Spencer he was thinking about proposing to her. After that, the idea of us getting married went on the back burner. Spencer stopped talking about us, and I think the reason was he didn't want to step on anyone's toes. (It's why he said he didn't want to get engaged when his sister was getting married.) It's whyとThat'w whyになるときの違いは何でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

it's whyとThat'w whyになるときの違いは何でしょうか？ 下記では、意味はあまり変わらないが that の方が強調を示していると言うことです。 https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/211445/what-is-difference-between-it-and-that

＞It's whyとThat'w whyになるときの違いは何でしょうか？ ⇒どちらも「それ」と訳されることになるでしょうけれども、何を指すか（何を受けるか）が違ってくると思います。 It's whyの場合：この場合のItは、先行文全体を受ける。「それは～ゆえである、だから～したのである」。 「スペンサーは私たちの話をやめてしまったが、その理由は、彼が誰かの感情を損ねたくなかった（と私が思った）ことです」という節全体を受けて、「それがゆえに～」とか、「だから～」と続くことになります。 ということで、この場合のItが指すのは、「スペンサーは私たちの話をやめてしまったが、その理由は、彼が誰かの感情を損ねたくなかった（と私が思った）こと」です。関係部分の全訳はこうなります。 「スペンサーは私たちの話をやめてしまったが、その理由は、彼が誰かの感情を損ねたくなかったからだと私は思います。（だから、彼は姉〈または妹〉が結婚しようちしているときに自分が婚約したくない／婚約を発表したくない、と言ったのです）」。 ＊スペンサーとしては、姉（妹）の「出鼻をくじく」ようなことをしたくない、という気持ちなんでしょうね。 That's whyの場合：この場合、Thatは（もし使うとすればそれは）、具体的な語句（名詞）を受けることになります。この文では該当する語句がありませんが、もしあるとすれば、his thought「彼の考え」とか、his real intention「彼の真意」のような語句になる（可能性がある）、と思います。

- lost his way
I thought my husband and I had a great marriage -- until I looked on his phone and found text messages to another woman. I was crushed. I asked him about it, and he said that it was nothing and that there were only a few messages. When I checked our cellphone details, I was completely devastated to find that it had been going on for almost a year and there were almost 2,000 text messages during the past six months. When I talked to him about this and all the lies he had told me, he said he had lost his way and he was sorry and didn't want to lose me. lost his wayはここではどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

- want to have toの日本語訳について
こんにちは。 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire [UK,adult版] p.751真ん中あたりの文についてです。 Harry nodded. A kind of numbness and a sense of complete unreality were upon him, but he did not care; he was even glad of it. He didn't want to have to think about anything that had happened since he had first touched the Triwizard Cup. ここで "He didn't want to have to think about anything that had happened since he had first touched the Triwizard Cup." の日本語訳は "優勝杯に触れてから起こったことについて何も考えたくなかった。" となっているのですが、なぜ「didn't want to have to think about 」が「について何も考えたくなかった」となるのでしょうか？ 「didn't want to think about 」との違いを教えていただけないでしょうか？ よろしくお願いします。

Masako saw it and became very sad. ここはsaw itな理由はわかります。they didn't clean the place and went homeを当てはめることができますから。同じように上の文もitだと思いました。

和訳お願いします I flew downstairs and turned around as if on a stage,posing and smiling,modeling my new coat for my father who was paying attention to me and telling me how pretty I looked. then he said he wanted me to model the hat,too. “No,Daddy,I just want to show you the coat. Just look at the coat on me!” I said,still swimming around the hallway and trying to avoid the subject of the missing hat. I knew the hat was history. He was giggling,and I thought I was cute and loved because he was laughing and playing with me. We went around a couple times about the hat,and in the middle of his laugh,he slapped me. He slapped me hard on the face, and I didn't understand why. At the sharp sound of his hand on my face,my mother shouted,“Mike! What are you doing! What are you doing ! ”She was breathless and surprised. His anger pierced both my mother and me. I just stood there holding my hand to my burning cheek,crying. And then he took my new hat out of his coat pocket.

He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up.' He looked around and couldn't see anyone. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again,'Pick me up.' He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog. The man said, 'Are you talking to me?' The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up, then kiss me; and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous, because I will be your bride!' The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully and placed it in his shirt pocket. The frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said, "Kiss me, and I will be your beautiful bride."' He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, 'Nah. At my age, I'd rather have a talking frog.' With age comes wisdom.

- どのような意味でしょうか
I am engaged to be married to a wonderful man. We had a bit of a rocky start with his lying to me about a past escapade he had before we met. He was embarrassed about it and lied, but I found out anyway. Since then, he’s been wonderfully open and honest and we even exchanged email and Facebook passwords as a way to set a general policy of openness in our relationship. Well, curiosity was killing this cat and, though nothing particular prompted it, I looked at his emails and saw some old ones from before we met between him and his ex-girlfriend. curiosity was killing this catはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします
