文法が理解できない英文に出会いました。
細かいところはうろ覚えですが、
Training in dmestic affairs can develop your skill,
as can cooking, cleaning, and washing.
こんな内容だったと思います。
2行目のcanのあとに動名詞が来ていますが、
これは文法的にどう解釈したらよいでしょうか。
もしわかる方がいらっしゃいましたら、教えていただければ幸いです。
ちなみに，細部はうろ覚えで文法の間違いがある可能性が大なうえ，
前後の文は記憶から消えさっています。
helpの使い方
彼は今日、私の仕事を手伝ってくれた。
He helped me to do my job today.
He helped me do my job today.
この二つの文章の意味は全く同じと考えて良いのでしょうか？
～ingを使いたい場合には、
He helped me doing my job today.
というのは語法で、
He helped doing my job for me today.
にしなければならない、というのは合っていますか？
説明不足だったので投稿し直しました。
()の４つの選択肢の中で、私が考えた答えの語句の前に○をしました。
また、考えた答えに基づいて[]の和訳を考えました。
考えた答えと和訳の訂正とアドバイスをお願いしますm(__)m

こんにちは。英語の時制の問題で、ほぼ確定した未来についての文では通常時を表わす副詞と一緒に"will"もしくは"be going to"を使わずに現在形と現在進行形を使って表わせると説明してあったのですが、この場合現在形と現在進行形、違いは何でしょうか。出来るだけ分かりやすく教えてください。（Ex. He leaves here tomorrow. と He is leaving here tomorrow. の違い)
以下の英文は、２０１１年度に京都大学で出題された英文です。
The documentary raw material of history has the immediacy of presence,the directness that characterises communication from someone who was there and felt and saw the things reported.
主部は、〔The documentary raw material of history〕＝〔事実に 基づいた歴史の、(生の資料・情報源)は〕で、述部はhas。
hasの目的格として、下記の英文が存在する訳で、
the immediacy of presence,the directness
that characterises communication from
someone who was there and felt and saw the things reported.
〔the immediacy of presence,the directness 〕＝〔that characterises communication from
someone who was there and felt and saw the things reported.〕は同格ですよね。
ここまでは、理解できました。
しかしながら、
『the immediacy of presence,the directness 〕＝〔that characterises communication from someone who was there and felt and saw the things reported.』
の部分の英文和訳が上手く表現できません。
特に、characterises communication の部分が、僕の中でネックになっています。
英和辞書で、characteriseを引くと、他動詞で、特徴付けるとあるのですが・・・。
上手く、英文和訳して頂きたいのです。
何卒、宜しくお願いします。

When he was sentenced to 15 yaers in jail for robbery Joe MacDonald knew prison life would be tough.
After about a yaer he had started to get used to the borebom,plain meals,and limited access to the outside world and to his family.
But there was one thing he could't get accustomed to:smoking.
Most of the other prisoners smoked,even though it was difficult to get cigarettes,and nowhere was somking banned.
The worst thing was that he shared a cell with a man who smoked five packs a day.
When Joe asked him at least to cut dwon,he just laughed:Smoking is the only pleasure I have here."
Furthermore,when Joe asked prison guards to move him to a call on his own or one with only non-smokers they didn`t take him seriously either.
After all,Joe was a criminal and this was a jail,not a holiday resort.
They didn`t have enough room to let prisoners choose their own cells.
But Joe felt quite serious about the mater,especially when he atarted to get coughs.
When the prison doctor visited him he said it was just a cold.
But Joe knew that doctors had recognised the dangers of passive smoking,and courts were beginning to support them.
It was not only smokers,but non-amokers near them who risked getting lung cancer and heart disease.
At least people on the 'outside'had some chance of avoiding smokers.
What could he do locked in the same small cell with a smoker up to 23hours a day?
Well,he decided,the,8th Amendment of the US Constitution banned "cruel and unusual punishments."
Surely being forced to face a serious health risk was just such a punishment?
He decided to file a suit against the prison authorities.

こんにちは。
今回はレストランでの会話の質問です。
英語で、ウエイトレスに
"取り皿(小皿)いただけますか？"
というのは、英語で何と言うのが普通でしょうか？
私の考えた英文は
"Can I get a plate?"
です。添削をお願いいたします。
ここで、私は"取り皿(小皿)"を"plate"と書いたのですが"dish"を使ってもよいのでしょうか？
"plate"と"dish"の違いについても教えていただけないでしょうか？
よろしくお願いいたします。

学校へ行ったら仲の良いRyu君がいません。彼は風邪でもひいたのか、周りの人に聞いてみたいという状況では、以下のように周囲に問いかけることが出来ると思います：
Why isn't Ryu at school today? Is he ill?
この場合、 Is he ill? と問うことが文法的または文脈的に正しいようです。 しかしながら依然として、Is he being ill? と問うことのどこが誤りなのか、よくわかりません。
私は、病気というものは一時的な状態にすぎないから、現在形よりも現在進行形にしたほうが適切なのではないか、と考えています。
Why isn't Ryu at school today? Is he being ill?
と問うことのどこが誤りなのか、文法的または文脈的なアドバイスをいただけないでしょうか。宜しくお願い致します。
