    文法が古いのか、文体が特殊なのか、省略が多く、句読点がおかしい英語のようにも思います。よく分からないのですが、強引に次のように考えることができます。     >1. Is not the sweet potato then a better symbol for literature than say the plum or the wisteria, which do not raise any very considerable or pause-giving problems?     これは、骨格は、「さつまいもではないとすれば、……ではないのですか?」という意味だと思います。あいだに色々入っているのだと思いますし、不自然に省略しているのだと思いますが、それで合っているかです。省略されていると思える語を補い、句読点を付け加えます。     >1. Is not the sweet potato [the symbol for literature], then a better symbol for literature than [sweet potato], say, the plum or the wisteria, which do not raise any very considerable or pause-giving problems?     訳すと:     >文学の象徴としてさつまいもがそうでないとすると、それより良い象徴とは、例えば、プラム(すもも)や藤(の花)だとして、それらは、何ら著しい、躊躇を与えるような問題を引き起こすことがない(……そうでしょう)?     さつまいまもが文学の象徴だというと、躊躇が起こるが、例えば、スモモや藤なら、躊躇は起こらず、問題ないのではないか?という文章だと思います。「say」は、「だとしてみると」というような、仮定というか、そうしてみる、という表現で、数学でよく出てきます。Say x=5,(X=5 として)……という風にです。     >2. As the aesthetic is a part of life in Japan, now as in ancient times form is life.      これは、主語と述部が、副詞の先行で転置している文章ではないかと考えます。文章を補って変形すると:     >2. As the aesthetic is a part of life in Japan, [life is] now as in ancient times form.     >美(学)は、日本の生活の一部であり、そのため、生活はいまも、古代の様式の通りである(そのままである)。     何か意味がよく分かりませんが、最初の「is」は、普遍事実の現在で、後の「is」は、歴史的現在でしょう。     >3.The cya-ya (teahouse) may be anything from a dealer in bulk tea to a roadside rest house to an establishment in the pleasure quarters of the past where geisya and ladies of related occupations plied their trades.     establishment は、確立・設立また建造物ではなく、商館・商店・店でしょう。     >茶屋(ティーハウス)は、大量の茶を、道ばたの休憩所[茶店]に供給していた商店[茶問屋]というより、芸者やそれに類した職業の女性達が商売に励む遊郭があった昔の商館にむしろ近いものだろう。     何か、日本の歴史や文化を紹介している英文で、紹介している人もよく分かっていないか、何故か、変な文章で、変な紹介をしている文章のように見えます。anything from で、from 以下でない、で anything で、to の後、something to となるのでしょう。こんな構文はないと思うのですが、変な構文と考えると意味が汲み取れます。無学でよく分からないのですが。

    A particular branch of knowledge is chosen, whether about the physical universe as in the sciences or about man himself as in the humanities. The aim of this study is not just to learn new facts, but to relate them to each other in an ordered whole. It is not enough to know things, like a walking encyclopedia. We have to aim at that understanding and wisdom which is the fine fruit of a university education. Thus in the sciences we learn how to draw general conclusions from various facts; and in the humanities we obtain a deeper understanding of human life from the reading of various authors. 長い英文ですがよろしくお願いします

  • 英語の和訳です。お願いします!!

     I doubt whether a doctor can answer the question of what the meaning of one's life is in general terms. For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment. To put the question in general terms would be comparable to the question posed to a chess champion: "Tell me, Master, what is the best move in the world?" There simply is no such thing as the best or even a good move apart from a particular situation in a game and the particular personality of one's opponent. The same holds for human existence. One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone's task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to fulfill it.  We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. When we are no longer able to change a situation--just think of an incurable disease such as inoperable cancer--we are challenged to change ourselves.

    大学入試の過去問を解いていて、分かりにくいところがありました。 下記の英文の和訳をお願いします。片方だけでも構いません。 (1) The fundamental nature and meaning of music lie not in objects, not in musical works at all, but in action, in what people do. It is only by understanding what people do as they take part in a musical act that we can hope to understand its nature and the function it fulfills in human life. Whatever that function may be, I am certain, first, that to take part in a music act is of central importance to our very humanness, as important as taking part in the act of speech, which it so resembles, and second, that everyone is born with the gift of music no less than with the gift of speech. (2) So far as I know the word “musicking” does not appear in any English dictionary, but it is too useful a conceptual tool to lie unused.

    Pericles' Funeral Oration 431 BC: "...In the fighting, they thought it more honourable to stand their ground and suffer death than to give in and save their lives. So they fled from the reproaches of men, abiding with life and limb the brunt of battle, and in a small moment of time, the climax of their lives, a culmination of glory, not of fear, were swept away from us." 後半が分かりません。 よろしくお願い致します。
