the noisy wheel gets the oil.は 目立ちたがり屋が成功すると言う意味のことわざですね。 the nail that sticks up gets beaten down. これは日本のことわざ「出るくいは打たれる」の意味です。直訳すると「突き出たくぎは打ち倒される」となりますね。 日本では出るくいは打たれると教えられるが一方アメリカの子供たちは目立ちたがり屋が成功すると教えられる と言う意味になります。 教育方針の違いをこの文章で言いたいわけです。

自己主張の考え方の違いと教育というテーマだと思います。 自己を主張しすぎると痛い目に遭うという日本式 自己を主張しなければ何も得られないというアメリカ式 のそれぞれのスタンスの違いかな。 でも、これは子供だけに限らないと思うけど。
お礼
確かに、子供だけに限らないですよね。 ありがとうございました。

日本語では、目立ったことをすると妨害される、というのを「出る杭は打たれる」というが、英語では、the noisy wheel gets the oil という、ということです。

There is another difference that visitors often notice in American schools. There is less importance given to the learning of facts than is usual in the school systems of many other countries. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves,to ask questions, to explore, and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time learning how to use resource materials, libraries, statistics, and computers. Computers are used in many classrooms, frequently stating in kindergarten. The American system of education is based on the idea that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. This is America's answer to the question that thoughtful parents around the world are asking the world are asking themselves in this fast-paced time: "How can one prepare today's child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?"

下記はエッセイの１部なんですが意味がほとんどとれなくて困っています。どなたかわかるかた教えてください。お願いします。 Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adults, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are an alphabet or an understanding of the working of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school student know that there not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problem in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

和訳お願いします!! Modern life is convenient,but it has also created problems in many ways．One ploblem we often hear about is that children are becoming less healthy because they watch too much television． It is common sense that children who are watching television are not doing other activities such as playing outside．This means that children may get to fat or not have much strength or energy．However,there are other serious effects on children besides physical effects． Children who watch a lot of television can usually understand the same number of words as other children．However, when they speak, they often cannot explain themselves very fluently．Some scientists think that this is because babies need to get information by listening, using their left brain．But television is mainly visual and makes us use the right brain．this is perhaps the reason for poor language skills later．

次の４コマの内容を英語にしました。文法や英語の表現、文の流れなどおかしな点がありましたらご指摘よろしくお願いします。最初の１文は提示されたものです。 「(1)２人の子どもが走りながら電車に乗ってくる。母親は気にしていない様子。(2)電車の中でも座らずに騒いでいる。乗客は嫌な顔をしている。母親は話に夢中。(3)おじいさんがQuiet!と言う。(4)子どもは静かになり、母親は恐縮している。」 One day, the children got on a train with their mothers. The children ran into the train, however their mothers didn't care about the children's behavior. The children were so cheerful that they couldn't be seating on the train. The passengers felt they were noisy. On the other hand their mothers were occupied in talking each other. Suddenly, an old man next to their mothers said to the children, "Quiet!" They got very surprised. They at last stopped making a noise and their mothers stopped talking. There was peace returning on the train. よろしくお願いします。

訳がどうしても知りたいです！！ 単語の意味は辞書を引けば分かりますが、言っていることがよくわかりません。 どなたか分かりやすく説明していただけないでしょうか。 お願いいたします.... American mothers, warning their children to eat what they were supposed to eat, would order the children to do so or tell them that they ought to eat it because it was good for them. Japanese mothers would ask their children a question,such as "How do you think it makes the man who grew these vegetables for you to eat feel when you reject them?"Thus very early age American children are told what to do. while Japanese chiledren are encouraged not only to consider other persons'feelings but also to control themselves as a result of their own considerations.

こんばんは！ 今週大学院試験を受けるもので 英語の勉強をしているのですが 和訳できなくて困っています。 直訳でかまいませんので どなたか協力していただけたら幸いです。 本文 When children are taught from an early age,implicitly as well as overtly,that individuality and freedom are absolute ``goods,`` a ``me`` attitude often develops which is likely to result in a need for instant gradification. よろしくお願いいたします！m(__)m

Like most Japanese junior high school students,you come to school every day and go home after school. These are activities that are natural for you. But many children in other countries cannot go to school. They cannot spend time at their homes. These children may live in countries at war,and they suffer. They are treated unfairly,and they suffer. Because and homes behind. These children are refugees.
