◆(1)の訳、No. 1さん、お上手ですね!  見事です。  make it of any consequence の部分も上手です。  of consequence 【of + 抽象名詞】ですから、 consequential と同じ意味になります。 ここは any があるから「いささかでも重要なものとして」と訳すとベターです。 ◆(2)は、質問者さんが文を途中から抜いているため、分かりにくいです。(面倒なので元のウェブサイトを見ていません…できれば必要最低限は引用してください)  この場合、she give となっているのが、質問者さんのタイプミスなのか、そうでなければ、この英文は that 節の一部か何かになりますね。  she give me the impression having ~  「彼女が【~以下】を持っているという印象を与え…」 となります(give の語形の説明がこの引用では分からない)  で、何を持っているか。 more teeth,white and large and even, than were necessary for any practical purpose. 「何にせよ実用的な目的にとって必要以上にたくさんの歯を、それも白くて大きくてきれいにそろった歯を」 となります。more teeth は many teeth の比較級で、その後に並んでいる形容詞は、あとから付け加えられたもの(挿入句)と考えるわけです。 ◆(3)の訳は No. 1 さんの訳だとちょっと惜しいです。こんな意味になります。 「たった一口、それ以上は欲しくない。だが、わたしは(その欲しくないという)一口以上を食べるのだ。会話のための口実に他ならぬその理由のためにね。」 という意味。that more 「その一口以上を」というように、more が名詞になっていて that がそれを修飾している点を見逃さないのがコツです。でも No. 1 のponta99さん、もっと自信をもっていいのでは…??? 質問者さん、ご不明な点があればまたコメント欄にでも補足して尋ねてください。

    That doesn't make any sense, though. You say you didn't send me any e-mails because you didn't want to bother me when Erika was over. But then I am suppose to e-mail you everyday even though I have a friend over and I'm super busy? Isn't that more bothersome for me than receiving your e-mails? And you're not the only one sending e-mails >_> I always respond to you when I can.

    People who take this view have been shown to be musch more likely to die in the first few years of retirement than those who take a more positive view. It seems that they find it much harder to find anything worth living for, because they feel so useless. This also helps to explain why women live loger than men (although there are other factors to be considered too). Women who are past retiring age now, grew up in a culture in which the home was considered to be a woman's primary responsibility. Even after they have retired, that responsibility still remains, so they still have something in their lives to be involved with. But men of the same age were usually brought up to believe that their primary responsibility was to work and be the breadwinner for the family. That responsibility vanishes with compulsory retirement and this can be emotionally devastating. Even people who have looked forward to retirement can find that, after the first few months, and they can become very depressed even, sometimes, to the point where they give up trying to live. This is why it is so important for retired people to make sure that they have some other interest in their life, and more than just one if at all possible. Many retired people take up another responsibility where they can still feel needed, such as voluntary work. Gardening is particularly popular, because a garden needs to be looked after-it can't be neglected or it will quickly turn wild. So gardeners know that their efforts are necessary and worthwhile. Some people develop hobbies such as travelling, or learn a new sport, such as golf or bowls. All these are ways for people to develop other sources of self-esteem, to compensant for being without paid employment.
