Joseph Frobisher - A Fur Trader and Political Figure in Lower Canada
- Joseph Frobisher was a fur trader and political figure in Lower Canada. Born in Halifax, England in 1740, he came to Quebec with his brothers Benjamin and Thomas. Together, they set up a fur trading company in Montreal that traded in the Northwest. After Benjamin's death, Frobisher partnered with Simon McTavish and both firms merged to form the North West Company.
- In 1779, Frobisher married Charlotte, the daughter of surgeon Jean-Baptiste Jobert. He was named a justice of the peace in 1788 and was elected to the 1st Parliament of Lower Canada in 1792. Frobisher retired from the company in 1798 and served as the secretary for the Beaver Club at Montreal.
- Frobisher was also involved in various business ventures, including part-ownership of the Batiscan Iron Works and the purchase of the seigneury of Champlain. He had extensive land holdings and built a large residence, Beaver Hall, outside Montreal. Frobisher served in the local militia and achieved the rank of major by 1806. He passed away in Montreal in 1810, leaving a legacy as a prominent fur trader and a respected political figure.

こんばんは。 No.１様の回答が素晴らしいですが、気になった点だけ挙げます。 ○「They set up a fur trading company based in Montreal that traded in the Northwest,」 ○以上の文の「that」は関係詞の「that」ではありませんか？ 「that」以下の文は「thading company」を詳しく説明していると考えられます。 すると、その一文は以下のようになると思います。 ○「彼らは毛皮商を設立した。そしてその会社はノースウェストで取引をした。」 つなげて、 ●「彼らはノースウェストで取引をする毛皮商を設立した。」となります。 ○「ノースウェストと」では「ノースウェストで一緒に」とも解釈できるので、 「ノースウェストで」の方が良いと思います。 ○「later partnering with Simon McTavish after Benjamin's death in 1787」 の「after」は、「……の後」という意味ではありませんか？ つまり「1787年のベンジャミンの死後、サイモンラビッシュと組んだ。」となるのではないでしょうか。 ちなみに私は学習用英英辞典を読む段階の英語力しか持っていませんので、「絶対に合っている」とは言えません。質問者様が私の回答を良い意味で「利用」して下さることを願っています。私も勉強になりました。ありがとうございました。

Joseph MaCarthyについてです。 Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He is known for alleging that numerous Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry, and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. ⇨Beginning in 1950, McCarthy, fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion in Cold War tensions.

For some, the measure of his success was the transformation of a ho-hum computer company into a $380 billion technology titan that became the world's most valuable company (in terms of market value) earlier this year. He was worth $8 billion when he died last week of pancreatic cancer. For many others — and Mr. Jobs himself, who claimed it was never about the money — his legacy will be the way he transformed the relationship between people and technology.

The Green Mile This movie was released in 1996, and it was nominated for four Academy Award. (Best Supporting Actor, Best Picture, Best Sound, and Best Adapted Screenplay ) The title means road to the electric chair. The scene of this story is on death row in the 1930. 1930 year was an age of serious great depression in the United States. One day, a new inmate arrives. His name is John Coffey who is 7-foot-tall , and black male. He convicted of raping and killing two young Girls. At first sight, John Coffey seems very ferocious, but actual John is gentle giant. Sometimes he cries, because he afraid of darkness. Surely most audience think he is not man who can murder young girls. However he was found by police holding corpse. In fact he has extraordinary healing powers, who reveals by healing warder’s urinary tract infection and resurrecting a mouse. When John is asked to explain his power, he merely says that he "took it back. On that day John defy to care girls. John is innocence. Regrettably, John was sentenced to death, so he can’t escape to death penalty. The director have much concern with John’s initial. John’s initial is the same Jesus Christ. John was modeled on god. He tried to save the human, but he was killed by human. His life resembles Jesus Christ. He had said I was tired before it died. Perhaps god thought so too. This film picks up the problem of race, and false accusation. John’s lawyer conceive a prejudice against black man. The lawyer thought Black man is the same as dog. He said even if it is usually obedient, that might bite us suddenly. This idea was general in 1930. It is not an exaggeration to say that discrimination to the black executed John. In the last scene, a hero says everyone walks in a green mile of the life. He was 108 years old now, but there is no person who lives a long life in this age. He was helped his sick by John, but he couldn’t save John from electric chair. He probably received John’s life when he was helped. But he thinks his long life is visitation. The prisoner wants to live more, but warder who enforces the death sentence hopes for the death. It is the sarcastic one. 映画「グリーンマイル」についての文です。 わからないところはエキサイト翻訳を使ったので、変なところがあると思います・・・。 でも自分ではそれが変なのかわからなくて困っています。 添削お願いします！

Enver Pasha worried about the possible fall of Baghdad. He realized the mistake of underestimating the importance of the Mesopotamian campaign. He ordered the 35th Division and Mehmet Fazıl Pasha to return to their old location, which was Mosul. The 38th Division was reconstituted. The Sixth Army was created on 5 October 1915, and its commander was a 72-year-old German General Colmar von der Goltz. Von der Goltz was a famous military historian who had written several classic books on military operations. He had also spent many years working as a military adviser in the Ottoman Empire. However, he was in Thrace commanding the Ottoman First Army and would not reach the theater for some time. Colonel Nureddin the former commander of the Iraq Area Command was still in charge on the ground. On 22 November, Townshend and Nureddin fought a battle at Ctesiphon, a town 25 miles south of Baghdad. The conflict lasted five days. The battle was a stalemate as both the Ottomans and the British ended up retreating from the battlefield. Townshend concluded that a full scale retreat was necessary. However, Nureddin realized the British were retreating and cancelled his retreat, then followed the British. Townshend withdrew his division in good order back to Kut-al-Amara. He halted and fortified the position. Nureddin pursued with his forces. He tried to encircle the British with his XVIII Corps composed of the 45th Division, 51st Division and 2nd Tribal Cavalry Brigade. The exhausted and depleted British force was urged back to the defenses of Kut-al-Amara. The retreat finalized on 3 December. Nureddin encircled the British at Kut-al-Amara, and sent other forces down river to prevent the British from marching to the relief of the garrison.
