英Independent紙のコラム2
前回の質問はまだ締め切っていませんが、質問事項がたまりつつあるので並行して質問させていただきます。 前々回の質問で、out there の意味を聞きました。今回もこれです。だいぶこの言葉のイメージ、ニュアンスはつかめたように感じますが、復習をかねて再度質問させて下さい。 コラムの筆者はハイテク機器オタクで、会社からハイテク機器なしで1週間生活し、その体験を書くという企画をもちかけられます。 自分は子供の頃からハイテク機器オタクだったと述べた段落の後に下記の文章が続きます。 Fast-forward to the present and my life, like most of our lives, is positively overflowing with gadgets - laptops, mobile phones, sat-navs, digital TV. I've just gone on to Facebook (or Crackbook as it should be called, it's so addictive) and my wife is complaining that I spend all day hunched over the laptop. I pretend that I'm working but I'm not really, I'm sort of cyber-grazing while my dogs go unwalked and my kids go unfed. This, therefore, is my life. So when I get a call from the people at the magazine you are holding asking me whether I'd be interested in writing an article about living for seven days without any gadgets invented in the past 25 years, I go all cold down the back of my spine (a bit like someone suddenly mentioning that you seem to drink an awful lot: it's suddenly out there and, although it's your worst nightmare, it also feels like a weird lifeline has been thrown to you). 上記文章中の it's suddenly out there and, although it's your worst nightmare, it also feels like a weird lifeline has been thrown to you の訳をお願い致します。 なお、基本的に質問箇所以外の部分の訳や背景事情の説明はご無用です。答えを説明するのに必要な範囲で結構です。

今回は英国 Independent紙のユーモアコラムからです。筆者は Dom Joly氏。 最初から2番目の段落までを引用します。 Dom Joly: I'm crazy about Palin, and she's everything I hate Sunday, 21 September 2008 It's getting quite embarrassing. I'll be flicking through the "dirty" channels, hoping for a glimpse of what I desire when... Stacey bursts in and I have to fast-flick back to 'Takeshi's Castle' on Challenge. It's too late though ? she knows what I'm up to. "Have you been watching Fox News?" she'll scream accusingly. I pretend to not know what she's talking about, but this lady is not for turning. "I don't know what you find so interesting about Sarah Palin but it's got to stop ? she's a monster." I try to bury myself deep into the comforting folds of my leather sofa. I know she's right but I am in the grip of a terrible obsession with the US VPILF. I can remember when I first saw her ? all white teeth and sexy glasses and hair scrunched up in a bun like some cliched teenager's mom fantasy. She was so... in charge... and so... sure of herself... she's not a blinker. She's everything I hate ? a right-wing born-again who feels that she might be "good" with foreign policy because she can "see Russia from my house". McCain is about as healthy as Jimmy Savile and, should he win, she'll probably be President by Valentine's Day and at war with Belgium by the spring. I know all of this and yet, I think I love her... there, I've said it, it's out there. 2番目の段落の最後の文章 I know all of this and yet, I think I love her... there, I've said it, it's out there. の意味を教えて下さい。 なお、全文はこちらで読めます。 http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/dom-joly/dom-joly-im-crazy-about-palin-and-shes-everything-i-hate-936861.html * なお、良回答の20ポイントはなんとか1人に絞りますが、10ポイントの候補は1人に絞るのが難しいのが常です。その場合、回答時間の早い方に決めさせていただきます。ご了承下さい。 （shiremonoさん、前回のIHTの質問の際、ポイントがつかなかったのはそういう理由です。すみません）

- location independent
（度に出ながら仕事をすることについて）“One thing I learned pretty early on is that it’s really hard to travel and be productive,” notes Erica Blair, a 30-year-old marketing consultant who currently calls Chiang Mai, Thailand, home and has been location independent for the last eight years. “I need to stay somewhere at least three months and set up a routine. Otherwise, with traveling, it’s just too hard to both enjoy a trip and grow my business.” I became location independent last year, when I traveled through Europe for seven months. I brought my laptop, and I was constantly on calls or doing work. location independent とは簡単に言うとどういう意味でしょうか？調べてもよくわかりませんでした。よろしくお願いします

- 英Independent紙のコラムの一節・I'm on the plane～
経済関連の記事の質問が連続したので、気分転換に普通の英文からの質問です。 英Independent紙のユーモアコラムで、筆者は Dom Joly氏。 タイトルは「The kindness of a stranger shows all's not lost in LA」。10月12日のコラムです。 第一段落と第二段落の一部を引用します。 I landed in Los Angeles very unrested. The whole point of business/upper class is that you can be comfortable, pampered and arrive at your destination fresh and ready for action. Not for me - the whole cabin had been taken over by a lairy group of "guys" on their way to Las Vegas for some stag-type celebration. There was no sign of the credit crunch here. Maybe this lot didn't dabble in stocks and shares? Maybe they were strictly cash only? Whatever, they spent the whole flight getting more and more pissed and shouting, "I'm on the plane, I'm on the plane, no it's rubbish...." I was like a zombie when I got to my friend's house in Santa Monica. I'm out here to start the long but exciting process of trying to get my movie made. （以下略） 上記文中の "I'm on the plane, I'm on the plane, no it's rubbish...." の訳をお願い致します。ややニュアンスの取り方に自信がないので。 なお、それ以外の箇所の大体の訳を掲げておきます。 私はロサンゼルスに到着したが、疲れきっていた。一体ビジネスクラスを選ぶ理由というのは、快適で、サービスが手厚く、目的地に新鮮で前向きな気持ちで降りることができるという点だ。今回、自分はそうではなかった。ビジネスクラスの客室全体は、男だけの祝いごとかなにかでラスベガスに向かう途中の気障な連中で占められていた。こいつらには目下の「信用収縮」の気配は一向に感じられない。この連中は株に手を染めていなかったということだろうか。キャッシュだけを頼りにしていたということか。いずれにせよ、彼らは空を飛ぶ間、いよいよへべれけになってわめいていた。「I'm on the plane, I'm on the plane, no it's rubbish....」 サンタモニカの友人の家に着いた時には自分はほとんどゾンビの状態だった。ロサンゼルス訪問の理由は、自分の映画製作という長期間にわたるがワクワクするプロセスの第一歩を踏み出すためだった。～

Make us see and hear and smell and touch the place you are in ,or the place you imagine. Write in English on your answer sheet. I like living where I live now. I live in Gifu.there are two good reason why I like living in Gifu. First of all, there is good environment for living. Urban like Tokyo ,it is convenient for us to live in. However, there are some environmental problems such as air pollution and water pollution and etc. In contrast, Gihu is clean air and water. Moreover, there is few environmental problems. It is confortable for us to live there. Second, Gihu is a easygoing place. Urban are busy place. I like easygoing place better than busy place because I would like to act my own pace. I feel that people who live in urban are always busy and hurry. I do not want to disturb my own pace. That is all reason I want to live in Gifu

レスありがとうございます。 ただ、確認したいことが・・・ 原文の構造は [it's suddenly out there] and, （although it's your worst nightmare, → ） [it also feels like a weird lifeline has been thrown to you] ですから、お示しの訳文を借りて文構造に忠実に訳し直すと 「それは突然そこに現れた。そして、それは最悪の悪夢なんだけど、目の前に投げられた運命の命綱みたいだ」 ですよね。 意訳した結果がお示しの訳文になったという理解でよろしいでしょうか。 すみません。お手数をおかけして。
