ちょっと今時間が無いので、簡単に答えます。 質問者様の訳が不自然な日本語になっている原因の一つは、物が主語になっている事ですね。英語ではモノや事柄が主語になるのは極めて普通ですが、日本語は、殆どの場合主語は人です。(日本語の主語がよく省略されるのは、主語が人(大抵は話し手か聞き手)だから、省略しても通じるからです。) あなたは、"S will tell us・・・"の所を、「教えてくれる」と訳されていますが、これだとどうしても、事柄を主語にせざるをえなくなるので、tell usの所を意訳して、 「"The context in which the words are spoken, or the way in which they are said"によって、"which of the possible speaker-meaning is intended"がわかるのだ。」 という構造で訳してみてはいかがでしょう。これなら、「わかる」の主語は人なので、自然な日本語になります。

お礼

お返事が遅れてしまい、申し訳ありません。 S will tell usのところが、やはり分かりやすかったです。 日本語と英語はやはりそういう観点から見ても異なるものですね。 ありがとうございました。

  • 和訳をお願いしたいです!

    緊急で和訳お願いしたいです! (1)What do you words,little ones, urchins, or brats tell us? Language often allows us several ways of saying the same thing.but there are very slight differences between them.Here are Mary.Susan, and Joan talking about some children playing in the next room. Mary: Listen to those little ones! Susan: Listen to those urchins! Joan: Listen to those brats! The words tell us something about the feelings of the speakers.We can guess that Mary thinks the children are really cute and sweet.Susan thinks they're a bit mischievous, and maybe they're a little dirty and not so neat.Joan thinks they're bad and they're misbehaving.If they don't want to show their feelings.of course, t can just say: Listen to those children because children is a neutral word. When words cause us to have different feelings, then we can say those words have different connotations. Little ones, urchins, and brats have different connotations. Some connotations are positive-they give us pleasant or comfortable feelings. Some connotations are negative - they give us unpleasant or uncomfortable feelings. Every language has hundreds of words which make usort think of things in an emotional way. Here are some more word-pairs which mean almost the same thing. In each case, the 'good' meaning is first and the bad' meaning is second. Tom is thrifty. Tom is stingy. Our house is cozy. Our house is cramped. He was behaving in a childlike way. He was behaving in a childish way. できるだけ速い回答をお願いします!!!

  • 英語の和訳ですっ

    英語の和訳がどうしても苦手です… 中2なんですが上手に和訳できません よかったらこの和訳教えてください About six thousand languages are spoken in the world. These languages are different. However, they share a common characteristic. They are built from sounds. These sounds are combined to make syllables. These syllables can be combined make words. The words are then combined to form sentences. Writing systems are a little different. There are seven major writing systems in the world : Chinese (kanji), English (Latin), Russian (Cyrillic), Arabic, Indic (Devanagari), Korean (Hangul), and Japanese (katakana and hiragana). Some writing systems are read from left to right. Other are read from right to left, or up to down. These writing systems can be organized into three categories. (1)Logographic In a logographic writing system, each character has meaning. Often, the character contains a picture that represents its meaning. Chinese kanji and Egyptian hieroglyphs are both logographic systems. In this system, the sound of the word is not represented in the character. (2)Syllabic In the syllabic writing system, each character forms one syllable. Each written symbol represents a vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants. Most writing systems of East and South Asia are syllabic. Japanese hiragana and katakana are two examples of syllabic writing systems. (3)Alphabetic In an alphabetic writing system, each character represents a sound. In English, for example, each of the three letters in the word top represents a different sound. The three sounds combine to make one syllable. In the word thanks, the letters t and h are used together to represent the th sound. The Latin and Cyrillic systems, which are used in the major European languages, are in this category. なのですが、お願いします!!

    言葉を用いないコミュニケーションについての文章の一節です。 どなたか和訳をお願いしますm(_ _)m Clothes give us many interesting clues about a person. As Americans say, they “make a statement.” People “dress up” for an important occasion, and “dress down” when they do not want to attract attention. Designer clothes are a status symbol, because people can see that you are rich and up-to-date on the latest fashion. In colloquial usage, Americans often comment “I hear you” when they mean “I understand you.” But spoken words are not the only messages we hear. Sounds often tell a story.

They are almost childish in comparison with her sophistication.

She extracts the fullest value from a vocabulary which is in the nature of things restricted, and [the Chinese words that she uses are not pedantic intruders but seem to be at home in their surroundings.]
