(186)Another poem……この英文はどう訳せばよいでしょうか
QA186 Another poem, of which we know even less, is the "Cercopes". 試し訳 もう一つの詩に『ケルコペス』というのがあるが、これについては何も知らない。 質問 (1)of which we know even lessについて “Even less”としては辞書にない。 ofがあるから、「“Cercopes"について何も知らない”」と読めるが、 著者は、「調べたが分からない」と云いたいように思える。 「解明されていない」という意味かも知れない。 読んで字のごとく、「何も知らない」でよいでしょうか。 QA187 These Cercopes ('Monkey-Men') were a pair of malignant dwarfs who went about the world mischief-making. 試し訳 このケルコペスたち（二人のいたずら小僧）はそこら中で間違いを引き起こしながら動き回る二人のいたずら小僧である。 質問 (1)were a pairについて wereは「である」としました。 古事であるので、過去形だが、意味は 「である」でよいでしょうか。 (2)the world mischief-makingについて worldは形容詞である。 「世界的、世の中の」とも読めますが、風刺詩ですから、副詞として 「そこら中で」としました。正しいでしょうか。 ＊Cercopes；monkey-menについて 下記＊Cercopesを参照 ＊malignant dwarfs;a pair of monkey-like dwarfs ＊monkey-men 辞書/Monkey:いたずらっ子 ＊Cereopes Cercōpes, in Greek myth, a pair of monkey-like dwarfs小人 whose mother Theia told them to beware of a certain Melampyges (‘black-buttocks’尻). Heracles caught them trying to steal his armour and slung them upside down from a pole borne across his shoulders. They found themselves staring straight at his buttocks, covered with black hair, and thus understood the warning. Their jokes at his hairiness so amused Heracles that he let them go.

(1)of which we know even lessについて lessは比較級ですから、そのように訳すべきだと思います。 前後の文章を見れば、「（○○についてはあまりよくわかっていないが）ケルコペスについて知られていることは更に少ない」という文脈になっているはずだと思います。 (1)were a pairについて おっしゃるとおり、こういうとき日本語では現在形で言いますよね。 「である」でＯＫだと思います。 (2)the world mischief-makingについて “about the world”（世界中を回って）でワンセットでしょう。 “mischief-making”（いたずらをしながら）とは分けて考えた方が、わかりやすいと思います。

In August 1916, an Entente-supported popular revolt broke out in Thessaloniki. There, Venizelos established a provisional revolutionary government, which declared war on the Central Powers. With Allied support, the revolutionary government of Venizelos gained control of half the country – significantly, most of the "New Lands" won during the Balkan Wars. This cemented the "National Schism", a division of Greek society between Venizelists and anti-Venizelist monarchists, which was to have repercussions in Greek politics until past World War II. Early in 1917, the Venizelist Government of National Defence (based in Thessaloniki) took control of Thessaly. In the face of Venizelist and Anglo-French pressure, King Constantine left the country for Switzerland on 11 June 1917; his second-born son Alexander became king in his place. The Allied Powers were opposed to Constantine's first born son George becoming king, as he had served in the German army before the war and like his father was thought to be a Germanophile. King Alexander died on 25 October 1920, after a freak accident: he was strolling with his dogs in the royal menagerie, when they attacked a monkey. Rushing to save the poor animal, the king was bitten by the monkey and what seemed like a minor injury turned to septicemia. He died a few days later. The following month Venizelos suffered a surprising defeat in a general election. Greece had at this point been at war for eight continuous years: World War I had come and gone, yet no sign of an enduring peace was near. Young men had been fighting and dying for years, lands lay fallow for lack of hands to cultivate them, and the country, morally exhausted, was at the brink of economic and political unravelling. The pro-royalist parties promised peace and prosperity under the victorious Field Marshal of the Balkan Wars, he who knew of the soldier's plight because he had fought next to him and shared his ration.

It is often said that there is no love like a mother’s love. Once in a while, however, there are cases in which a man comes to love his mother a little too much. They can become fixated on them, or too attached to them. They have difficulty separating themselves from the woman who brought them into the world and raised them. You might be surprised to find that history has no shortage of famous men who had a mother complex. The effect of this complex differs from person to person as well. J .M. Barrie wrote the wonderful story Peter Pan, which has become one of the best-loved children’s books of all time. In the book, there is a place called Never-Never Land, a place where children never grow up. Tn real life “Jamie” would dress in his dead brother’s clothes and spend long hours in the dark with his mother, consoling her over the death of his brother and her son. Some say this is the reason he did not grow much from his teenage years on. In other words, he stopped growing. Later, in adulthood, this short man wrote memoirs about his mother that shocked people all over England. He was clearly a man who adored his mother. Houdini was one of the greatest magicians ever. His specialty was breaking out of dark places from which there was no escape. Some psychologists think that Houdini was really trying to experience childbirth over and over again. This is the reason that he put himself into dark, dangerous places from which he had to break out into the world of light. It was similar to a baby’s body coming out into the world. After his mother passed away, Houdini went from psychic to psychic because he hoped to find someone who could put him in touch with her. Some saw him spend hours lying on his mother’s grave, talking toward the ground. Apparently, he was unsuccessful at communicating with his mother, though he did succeed in creating a greater distance between his wife and himself. Yukio Mishima, the renowned Japanese writer, spent his childhood as the object of a tug-of-war. His grandmother, a tough woman who emphasized discipline and manners, and his mother, an emotional and outgoing woman, battled to influence young Yukio. His grandmother passed away while he was a teenager, but taught him to function smoothly in the world. Consequently, he spent most of his time with his mother, whom he adored. After his death, his mother supposedly said, “At last, my lover has returned to me.” Mishima presented himself as a tough, disciplined, “manly” man, while in private, he kept male lovers in a passionate, emotional world. He was clearly a man of two worlds. Did this have something to do with his complex over his mother? The effect of a mother complex on an individual can differ from person to person. Though the cause was the same for all of these three men, the results were very different. Too much of a good thing can be bad for us. Eating too many sweets, for example, leads to decayed teeth, weight problems, and more. By the same token, a mother’s love is special, but too much of it can be unhealthy. 訳せずに困っています。 大至急お願いします。 質問の内容を書いてください

In addition to questions of institutional authority and historical precedent, the personal qualities of the first three Tokugawa shoguns did much to confirm their family’s power. All of them were cautious and hard-working men who, although they surrounded themselves with capable advisers, nevertheless reserved the right to make final decisions. Hidetada appears somewhat prim and colorless in comparison with the other two, but there two, but there is no doubt of his administrative ability. Iemitsu is alleged to have been imperious and capricious. He certainly behaved like a strong ruler and it was in his time that the bakufu's control system was ‘perfected’; but whether he was really moody or not – or whether even if he were, this in any way affected the issues at stake – is hard to say.
