以下の文章はどう訳せばいいでしょうか。特に「association of self-pity」のうまい訳が思いつかないのと、そのあとの「 with the gratification of being cared for」の扱いに困っています。 such～that の構文として訳そうとしているのですが・・・ But the way our brain-computer operates may result in such close association of self-pity with the gratification of being cared for, that we may actually enjoy indulging in self-pity.

associate A with B で、AとBを関連付ける、ですから association of self-pity with the gratification of being cared for は 「自分自身への哀れみ」を「愛されている満足感」と関連付けること、です。 しかし、我々の頭脳は「自分自身への哀れみ」を「愛されている満足感」と密接に関連付けてしまうので、実際われわれは自己憐憫に耽溺することに喜びを見出してしまうのだろう。

But the way our brain-computer operates may result in such close association of self-pity with the gratification of being cared for, that we may actually enjoy indulging in self-pity. 意訳です:(詳細な解説無しで済みません)(解説無しでもお分かりだと思いますので)(勝手に甘えます)(爆) (such - thatで間違い無いです) そんな風に脳を働かせると(考えることは)、「私は十分心配され見守られているのよと言う自己満足」と自己憐憫がきつく結びつき、実際には自己憐憫自体に甘んじる結果に陥ることになる。 being cared for → care for 大事にする、心配するの受身)受動態)

次の5文のSVやOC、関係詞の始まりや名詞節や副詞節などを教えてください！！ (1)You must keep the creativity flowing; time should be set aside for coming up with new ideas and approaches in an unstructured way, an activity known as brainstorming. (2)These factors illustrate the point that stars are not born as geniuses, but reach that level as a result of constant effort and common sense. (3)There is, however, one additional point that is essential for the creation of a star performer; that is, a company which encourages its workers to aspire to a higher level of performance. (4)If people are working independently there may be less pressure; but when it comes to working in a company, people may try to improve their own position by making things difficult for their co-workers, which often results in a lot of talent being wasted. (5)If all employees in companies could outgrow their desire to save face, move away from working in isolation and towards helping and simulating one another, and start making judgement from a broader perspective, the chance for stars to be born would expand.

Approximately 42000 new cases of tuberculosis were reported in Japan in 1997. That marked the first increase in 38 years. Tuberculosis cannot be called a disease of the past any longer. Tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial disease that usually affects the lungs. In many cases, the body's immune system destroys the bacteria before it does much damage: only a scar or spot is left on the lungs as evidence of the infection. Sometimes, however, the infection spreads and causes a variety of symptoms, including coughing, fatigue, fever, sweating at night, loss of appetite, and weight loss. The bacteria may also pass from the lungs through the lymphatic system to the bones and joints, kidneys, or brain and spinal cord. Occasionally, the bacteria remain dormant in the lungs for years, flaring up again to do further damage. Left untreated, tuberculosis may eventually cause death. A tuberculosis patient is usually treated with two to four antituberculous drugs. The reason multiple drugs are administered is that this helps overcome the danger that the bacteria may develop resistance to one of the drugs. The drugs act either by directly killing the bacteria or by preventing them from multiplying. Some antituberculous drugs may cause adverse side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Because of this, special care is needed when taking these drugs. Drug treatment normally continues until the symptoms have subsided and laboratory investigations such as sputum tests have shown the person to be clear of infection. The treatment usually takes a long time, sometimes more than a year. Conditions in Japan now suggest that the nation is at a critical point inits fight against tuberculosis. There has been a vast increase in the number of patients infected by multiple-drug-resistant strains. One reason for this is that many TB victims did not complete their treatment and, consequently, the bacteria that remained became resistant to current medications. Now, a great deal of research is under way to develop drugs effective against multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. It is hoped that the advent of such drugs will represent the final victory in the fight against this stubborn, troublesome disease.

In those days, Ruby had been an outrageous flirt, the first in their year to appear in eye-shadow and a smear of lipstick, and the leader in every other step towards maturity. The boys had fought battles in the playground over her and she had rewarded them with favours in the cycle shed that were whispered about with sly smiles and sniggers." この中の、最後の文章、 "she had rewarded them with favours in the cycle shed that were whispered about with sly smiles and sniggers." が、よく、分からないのです。 「ルビーは、勝者への褒美を、自転車小屋の中で、与えた。」 "in the cycle shed that were whispered about with sly smiles and sniggers" が、いまいち、分からないのです。 どなたか、ご解説をよろしくお願いいたします。

joshsan さん ありがとうございます。 ＞associate A with B で、AとBを関連付ける、ですから はい、ここまでは分かっていたのですが、それにself-pityがつくと、もうどうすればいいのか・・・って感じでした。 動詞associate→名詞associationになっているので、それにつづくものが単にＡでなく、of Ａ となったのでしょうか？ 全文の訳も、大変よく分かりました。
