＞What is the best way to deal with an older sister (56) who treats me, her little brother (46), like a 3-year-old? She has never stopped talking about me in the third person when I’m standing next to her. When I’m working with subtitles for my job on my laptop, I’m playing a game. ⇒（全訳）姉（56歳）が、弟（46歳）の私を3歳児のように扱うのですが、それに対処するための最良の方法は何でしょうか？ 彼女は、私が彼女の隣に立っているときなどに、私を第三人称扱いで話すのをやめたことはありません。ラップトップで字幕を使って仕事をしていると、私はゲームをしていることになってしまいます。 ＞talking about me in the third person ⇒「私のことを第三人称扱いで話すこと（をやめたためしがない）」 ＞working with subtitles for my jobはどのような意味でしょうか？ ⇒「仕事のために字幕を使っているときに（ゲームをしていることになってしまう）」。 ☆「この子ったら、パソコンでゲームをしているわ！」などと言われるんでしょう。 ＞third personはothersとどう違うのでしょうか？ ⇒third personは、「三人称」（例えば、「この子」とか「坊や」など）の意味で、othersは、ただの「他人」という意味ですから、全然違いますね。 ＞なぜtheが付いているのでしょうか？ ⇒「第三人称」という、文法上の決まった用語だからです。

The problem comes when dealing with the other grandmother, especially when others are in the vicinity. I don't know whether it's because I am older than she is or what, but she always addresses me as "Gramma Mary," as in, "Gramma Mary, what would you like to do today?" I find this condescending, disrespectful and rude. First of all, I am not her grandmother. Second, I am a person in my own right, with a job and hobbies. a person in my own rightはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

Fifteen years ago my sister-in-law and I had a mutual friend, Barbie, who told me something unflattering about my sister-in-law. My relationship with my sister-in-law has been fractured ever since. I have since severed my relations with this friend for numerous other reasons, but Barbie is still good friends with my sister-in-law. Recently, I have felt that I should let my sister-in-law know how this woman betrayed her friendship by telling me her secret. Should I tell my sister-in-law or leave it alone and let her find out for herself? Seeing her buddy up to this person makes me crazy. Seeing her buddy up to this personはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

I have a neighbor who frequently joins me in my morning walk. She or I will initiate a conversation. There are times when she is quite insightful and even delightful. Usually however, when I start talking, she either pulls out her phone and starts talking about something else, or yells to someone across the street, or is so distracted by whatever is going on in her head she completely misses whatever I'm saying. I'll say something like, "Apparently I've lost my audience." Or, "I'm sorry. Am I keeping you from something?" Am I keeping you from something?はどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

In conversation, I ask people open-ended questions, and I really listen to what they say. I try not to interrupt or shift the focus onto myself. I also try to remember what I learn about people. My problem is that I don’t know how to inspire others to reciprocate. I want people to know me, but instead I go through life feeling painfully lonely. I’ve recently made a new friend, and we spend most of our time together discussing her past, her family, and her emotional and professional challenges. Now and then I toss in some information about myself, hoping it will establish common ground and encourage her to ask me questions. Recently, we were talking about her experiences growing up gay in a fundamentalist Christian family, I said, “I was raised by my wonderful gay dad, who also grew up in a Christian environment.” She rarely responds to these offerings, so I just let them go, and we continue talking about her. As usual, I’ve ended up knowing her way better than she knows me, and I feel lonely. I know I could call her on it in the spirit of clarifying my needs. But when I do that, people usually say, “Oh, sorry! OK—what were you saying?” After which it feels like they’re just giving me air time out of politeness rather than because they’re actually interested in what I have to say. If this pattern were confined to my interactions with this woman, I might blame it on her for being self-involved. But it happens all the time. I’m the common element, so I know the problem has to be with me. 1 I know I could call her on it in the spirit of clarifying my needs. の和訳を教えてください。 2 air timeの意味を教えてください。 3 common element「共通要素」？とは簡単に言うとここではどういうことでしょうか？ 以上、よろしくお願いします

I overheard my older daughter telling her sister about her experience during her semester abroad—her sexual experience. She slept with nine different men, one in each country she visited. I left before I could hear more. I never thought that I was a prude, but it was unsettling to hear my baby girl has had more sex partners in a year than I’ve had in my life. I am worried about her behavior and why she would be telling this to her 16-year-old sister. My daughter has a 4.0 GPA, volunteers, and is usually a good person.

For years I’ve been butting heads with my mother, even now that I’ve moved out. If it isn’t her degrading my clothes or talking poorly about my dates, she’s calling me dramatic, telling me I’ll “grow up” on politics, or disputing everything I say. If以下の和訳をよろしくお願いします
