The Doggone Girl? Understanding the Meaning of 'Doggone'
- In the song 'The Girl Is Mine' by Michel Jackson & Paul McCartney, the phrase 'The doggone girl' is frequently used. But what does 'doggone' mean?
- When looking it up in the dictionary, 'doggone' is defined as cursed, unpleasant, or wretched. However, it seems odd that it is used to criticize the girl in the lyrics.
- The lyrics suggest that the singer considers the girl to be special and that he is proud to be the only one in her heart.

The doggone girl?
Michel Jackson & Paul マッカートニーの曲で The Girl Is Mine というのが あるのですが、この曲で、The doggone girl というのが頻繁に出てきます。 doggone の意味が知りたいのですが。。。 辞書を引くと、doggone = 呪うべき, いまいましい, みじめな. と出て くるのですが、下記の歌詞を見る限り、”girl”をけなしている というのは何か変です。 [1st Verse (Michael)] Every Night She Walks Right In My Dreams Since I Met Her From The Start I'm So Proud I Am The Only One Who Is Special In Her Heart [Chorus] The Girl Is Mine The Doggone Girl Is Mine I Know She's Mine Because The Doggone Girl Is Mine [2nd Verse (Paul)] I Don't Understand The Way You Think Saying That She's Yours Not Mine Sending Roses And Your Silly Dreams Really Just A Waste Of Time

newtonZさん、これは逆の事を言っているのだと思います。 私の電子辞書には米・俗語で喜びを表してちくしょう！やった！と書いてあります。 だから、やった！僕の彼女だ！って言ってるんでしょう。多分。

The second story “Girl” was more interesting to me. The story is like family motto from her mother to girl. This story imply that girl’s mother really love her children with extravagance. I can find her mother’s love, worry and many more feeling to her daughter. I like this story because this story has more adorable feelings. I believe that “white elephant” is more difficult than “Girl”, because that story is mostly consisted of conversation between them, however, that conversation makes me confused. It is not clear for me. The girl was mad first time, but she easily come back to good mood the end of the story. I wanted to see the process how she came back to good mood. I believe that “Girl” is not a real story. I guess that this story is talking about future’s children. In my opinion, the girls’ mother wants to have a girl baby in her future, so she is talking about how her children want to grow up when she have a girl baby,

- The authorities
I’m really worried about my friend “Laura.” Laura grew up in a conservative community and married at 18. Her husband was a family friend, and she didn’t date anybody but him. After their marriage, she went to college, had two kids, and has now divorced her husband. She has broken away from her family because she says they judge her and she is intent on living her own life. I’d be good with that if it weren’t for the fact that she thinks living her own life is doing whatever she wants regardless of the consequences. Laura goes out to bars three to four nights a week. She would leave her kids (both under age 10) home alone. The authorities were called numerous times, and now her ex-husband has custody. The authoritiesとは具体的には何のことでしょうか？よろしくお願いします

この長文を翻訳してください。お願いします。 長いので、2パートほどに分割します。 (１) Once upon a time, there was a poor girl alone in a village. Her dad and mom died, her relatives weren't there, and at the age of 12, she finally lost her house. Only the poor clothes she wore and a piece of bread were the girl's belongings. However, even in such a situation, the pure and gentle girl believed in God. She believed that even in such a situation, God is sure to protect me.. The girl was walking alone on the road where the cold wind blows. Then a traveler talked to her girl. 「Young lady, give me food . I'm about to die.」 The girl saw the traveler's Skinny face and pitifully gave her a piece of bread, 「May you have God's blessing.」 she saw the traveler happily chewing on the bread, and the girl started walking again. This time, a little boy, a little younger than the girl, was crying. 「I am very cold. my hat was blown by the wind.」 The girl stroked the boy's head, then took off her hood and put it on the boy. The boy stopped crying and thanked her girl and went somewhere.
