>と解釈してはいけませんか? いい方法ではないと思います。be of は be の持つ~=~のニュアンスに consists of や can be や could be のニュアンスを足した感じ。 http://www2.alc.co.jp/ejr/index.php?word_in=be+of&word_in2=%82%A0%82%A2%82%A4%82%A6%82%A8&word_in3=PVawEWi72JXCKoa0Je

お礼

ご回答有難うございます。be of(am of/is of/are of)の形は、ネイティブの人々は、日常何気なく使っている単純なものではないかと、私は感じるのです。[of]の後の名詞は、主語についてのことを述べている印に思えるのです。英辞郎には沢山の事例がありますが、確証が取れません。再度挑戦しようと思います。その節はよろしくお願いいたします。まずは御礼まで。

  • 『The sound of summer ~』

    Ray Bradburyの『The sound of summer running』という短編からの質問です。 Well, he felt sorry for boys who lived in California where they wore tennis shoes all year and never knew what it was to get winter off your feet, peel off the iron leather shoes all full of snow and rain and run barefoot for a day and then lace on the first new tennis shoes of the season, which was better than barefoot. The magic was always in the new pair of shoes. The magic might die by the first of September, but now in late June there was still plenty of magic, and shoes like these could jump you over trees and rivers and houses. And if you wanted, they could jump you over fences and sidewalks and dogs. “Don’t you see?” said Douglas. “I just can’t use last year’s pair.” For last year’s pair were dead inside. They had been fine when he started them out, last year. But by the end of summer, every year, you always found out, you always knew, you couldn’t really jump over rivers and trees and houses in them, and they were dead. But this was a new year, and he felt that this time, with this new pair of shoes, he could do anything, anything at all. They walked up on the steps to their house. “Save your money,” said Dad. “In five or six weeks—” “Summer’ll be over!” ************************* they wore tennis shoes all year and never knew what it was to get winter off your feet, peel off the iron leather shoes all full of snow and rainについてですが it was to get winter off your feet~は、be動詞+to不定詞で、「あなたの足から冬を取り去ることになる」という予定の意味ですか? all full of snow and rainが、文にどのようにつながるのかわかりません。前置詞がないような?それとも the iron leather shoesと all full of snow and rainの間で切れているのか・・? ************************* last year’s pair were dead inside.の個所について deadは「すたれた」の意味ですか? ************************** 教えていただけるとありがたいです。 よろしくお願いいたします。

  • 『The sound of summer ~』

    Ray Bradburyの『The sound of summer running』という短編からの質問です。 Late that night, going home from the show with his mother and father and his brother Tom, Douglas saw the tennis shoes in the bright store window. He glanced quickly away, but his ankles were seized, his feet suspended, then rushed. The earth spun; the shop awnings slammed their canvas wings overhead with the thrust of his body running. His mother and father and brother walked quietly on both sides of him. Douglas walked backward, watching the tennis shoes in the midnight window left behind. “It was a nice movie,” said Mother. Douglas murmured, “It was. . . .” ~but his ankles were seized, his feet suspended, then rushed. The earth spun;のところなのですが、 The earth spun(地球、地上?は回った?)とはどういうことなのでしょうか? the shop awnings slammed their canvas wings overhead with the thrust of his body running.についてですが、 うまく状況が頭に思い浮かべられません。 お店の日よけが閉められた(閉った)、という感じはなんとなくわかるのですが overhead with the thrust of his body runningのところがわかりません。 駆けてきた少年の体の突き(前進)で?頭上で? 教えてください。よろしくお願いいたします。

  • 次の文について

    90% of recent car buyers say safety was an important factor in their purchase. Yet of these car buyers, only half consulted objective sources of vehicle safety information before making their purchase; the others relied on advertisements and promotional materials. Thus, these other buyers were mistaken in saying that sagety was important to them. という文において、前提としていえるのは、Advertisements and promotional materials sometimes provide incomplete vehicle safety information.と言えないのはなぜでしょうか。 もし安全に注意しているなら不完全な情報のあるものに頼らないと思うのですが。(なのでこれが前提にあるのではと)

  • この英文の意味を教えてはいただけないでしょうか?

    こんにちは。 お世話になります。 英語初学者です。 下記に挙げます英文が理解できず、困り果てております。 Emma was happy to entertain their friends, although many of them were closer in age to her father than to her. But on one of these evenings Emma was luckier because one of their neighbours brought a young friend with her. 教えていただきたいのですが、この場合の「with her」のherとは、Emmaを指しているのでしょうか? それとも、「one of their neighbours」を指しているのでしょうか? また、もしEmmaを指していた場合、ニュアンスとしては「彼女に合わせるために連れてきた」となるのでしょうか? どなたか、教えてはいただけないでしょうか? よろしくお願いいたします。
