James Hilton・著、And Now Good-byeの中の文
James Hilton・著、And Now Good-byeの中の文章です。Howat Freemantle Browdleyという牧師が一人で旅行していた際に電車事故に遭遇しますが、自ら人命救助などを行い、それが報じられて有名になります。 次の英文を日本語に訳していただけないでしょうか。特に最後のほうのin Reverend Howat Freemantle Browdley had possessed no ordinary minister.がどういう意味かわかりません。教えてください。 The massed limelights of the Press then focused themselves upon that middle-sized manufacturing town, of which few persons in other parts of the country had ever even heard; and it was soon discovered that in Reverend Howat Freemantle Browdley had possessed no ordinary minister.

NO2さんの考えで正しいと思います。 in Reverend Howat Freemantle Browdley had possessed no ordinary minister the Reverend Taro Urashima Reverend Taro Urashima のReverendはDoctorのDr.と同じでRev. Taro Urashima と称し聖職者であることを意味します。 Browdleyは添付の前文にあるように聖職者Howat Freemantle氏が住んでいる町。 and papers in his possession revealed him to be the Reverend Howat Freemantle, a dissenting minister in Browdley, Lancashire. in Reverend Howat Freemantle, Browdley had possessed no ordinary minister たぶん、 聖職者Howat Freemantle氏の(頭の）中では、Browdelyの町は一般的な牧師を持っていなかった。 とは、 【彼は、Browdelyには他の町で見かけるような一般的な専任の牧師がいる町とは考えていなかった。】 と言うのも後に続く文章で （He had not confined himself to strictly professional work）彼はprofessional work聖職者の仕事に自分自身を閉じ込めてはいなかったと話が続いています。 Nor in Browdley had he confined himself to strictly professional work; his sermons had been eloquent, but he had also identified himself with local literary and artistic societies, the League of Nations Union, and other movements.
お礼
ありがとうございます。続きの文章もご存知であることに驚きました＾＾原作をお持ちなのでしょうか？ 引用してくださった続きの部分は、Nor in Browdley had he confinedと「had he」となっているのは、norが文頭に出てきたから倒置が起こってhad heとなっているということですよね？ つまり、「ブラウドリーでは、彼は聖職者の仕事に自分自身を閉じ込めていなかった。彼の説教は雄弁であったが、彼は地元の文芸関係者や国際連盟協会、その他の活動と関わりを持っていたのでした」ということでしょうか？ みなさんのようにきれいに和訳することができずお恥ずかしい限りです。
補足
その後に、彼のお給料は低かった（his stipend was a very poor one)とあり、he had for some time been hard put to it to make ends meet.とありますが、この文も「？」って感じです。make ends meetは「収支を合わせる、収入内でやっていく」ということですが、he had (for some time) been hard put to itという部分はぜんぜん意味が取れません…

＞特に最後のほうのin Reverend Howat Freemantle Browdley had possessed no ordinary minister.がどういう意味かわかりません。 「Reverend Howat Freematle」は人の名前、「Browdley」は町の名前だと考えられます。 全体の意味は「新聞社の大きな注目が他の地域の人がほとんど聞いたこともない中規模の工業の町に注がれた結果、ほどなくして判明したことはブラウドリという町にはハワット・フリーマントル師というすばらしい牧師がいたということでした。」 「no ordinary minister」の「no」は形容詞のみを否定して「普通ではない／非凡な／すばらしい」という訳になります。 お尋ねの「in Reverend Howat Freemantle Browdley had possessed no ordinary minister」の部分は倒置だと考えられます。普通に言えば「Browdley had possessed no ordinary minister in Reverend Howat Freemantle.」です。 ここで用いられている「in」には「同格」で「～という・・・」と意味があります。ときどき文頭にでることもあります。 (1) You've got a friend in me. 「君には私という友人ができた。」 (2) In him we have a fine leader. 「我々には彼という素晴らしい指導者がいる。」 ご参考になれば・・・。

「マスコミの集中取材で、他の地方ではその名を聞いたことも無い無名の中都市に向けられて、スポットライトが当てられた。やがてH・F・ブロードレー牧師は、並みたいていの牧師ではないことに、この町の人々は気づいた。」 Xは、Yに、Zを所有する、という構文で X ＝ その町 Y ＝ ブロードレー Z ＝ 通常でない牧師 ですから直訳すれば「その町は、ブロードレーの中に、なみなみならぬ牧師を所有していることを、間もなく発見した」になります。
お礼
ありがとうございます。すごくわかりやすい解説で、和訳も綺麗ですね。

Mahalia Jackson Mahalia Jackson was born into a preacher's family in 1911, and she grew up in a riverfront shanty in New Orleans. She was motherless at five, working as a maid and loudness in her mid-teens. As a little girl, she would whisper to herself before she went to sleep, "someday the sun is going to shine down on me in some faraway place." In pursuit of that dream, Mahalia migrated to Chicago when she was still a teenager. She never expected to support herself by singing, and by the time I joined her, the hands she used so expressively in her performances had scrubbed floors, laundered and helped her earn a living as a hotel maid, factory worker, beautician and florist. But her remarkable voice brought her more and more invitations to sing-at funerals, in churches, at concerts. And, through her warm friendly personality and a life based on sound spiritual values and hard work, she eventually found her place in the sun. 1. It is stated in the passage that Mahalia ----. A) had no mother during her whole life B) lived in a fashionable house in New Orleans C) was orphaned when she wasn't even a teenager D) become a servant at the age of five E) grew up in a religious family 上記の文に対し、問1の答えはC)です。この文のどこにorphenedだと書いてあるのか教えてください。motherless ではないし、preacher's familyに born in するということから判断するのでしょうか？ お願いします。

日本語訳を!! In 1819,a young man named James Prinsep boarded a ship near his home in Essex,England,and set sail for India,half a world away.His father,John,had made the family's fortune manufacturing indigo there 40 years earlier,and James had grown up listening to his father's romantic stories of the faraway kand.James had raced through his educatiom as quickly as he could,eager to get to India and see it for himself.Now 20 years old and fully qualified as an architect,he was at last on his way. John Prinsep,James's father,had brought the first Western-style coin-making machinery to India in 1780 and manufactured copper coins to make doing business easier.(Before this,each India state had made and used its own hand-stamped coins.)James got a job in Calcutta at the mint his father had estabtlished.He was good at his job.He reformed the system of weights and measures and introduced a style of coinage that came to be used by the entire country. In his spare ime,James became interested in archaeology.His love for old coins and enthusiasm for anything to do with ancient India was contagious.Many Englishmen living in India began to study Indian history more seriously(including a young man named Alexander Cunningham,the same Alexander Cunningham who would later discover the ruins at Harappa.)Soon James had friends,both English and Indian,sending him old coins and copies of inscriptions from all over India. James spent hours admiring the portraits of long-for-gotten kings that decorated his old coins.Some of his oldest coins dated from the time of Alexander the Great,when the Indo-Greeks ruled northern India and Pakistan.Those coins had inscriptions in ancient Greek on one side,which he could decipher.But the meaning of the inscriptions on the other side,which were written in a mysterious squiggly alphabet scholars called Brahmi,baffled him.He thought they probably repeated the Greek information,but until someome could read Brahmi,there was no way to be sure.

All of the units suffered from lack of equipment, including ammunition. There was a shortage of capable officers, and only 120 machine guns in the whole army. The army possessed no field howitzers or heavy artillery. In terms of appearance, the dark-blue uniforms and personal equipment issued to soldiers in 1914 had not changed visibly since 1853.[9] Standards of discipline were frequently lax and Belgian soldiers were often seen as "indisciplined and careless".[9] The army had no coherent doctrine and its had as many as five strategic plans, none of which commanded total support from the High Command. The Belgian army was divided into two, with the majority assigned to the Field Army and lower-quality troops to guard the country's three fortified zones.

Just as the war was in the balance on the Western Front, so the fate of Luxembourg was see-sawing back and forth. It was clear to all that the good conduct of the Luxembourgish government, if fully receptive to the needs of the German military administrators, could guarantee Luxembourg's continued self-government, at least in the short-term. Eyschen was a familiar and overwhelmingly popular leader, and all factions put their utmost faith in his ability to steer Luxembourg through the diplomatic minefield that was occupation. On 4 August 1914, he expelled the French minister in Luxembourg at the request of the German minister, followed by the Belgian minister four days later and the Italian minister when his country entered the war. To the same end, Eyschen refused to speak ill of the German Zollverein, even though he had talked openly of exiting the customs union before the war began.

Expanded to 144 members in 1894, operations against Kpandu and "a number of towns in central Togo which had resisted the government were attacked and razed to the ground, the property of the inhabitants confiscated and the people fined sums ranging from 200 marks to 1,110 marks." For the remainder of the decade, an additional 35 expeditions were authorised by the colonial government. In 1895 the capital Lomé had a population of 31 Germans and 2,084 natives. By 1913 the native population had swelled to 7,042 persons and 194 Germans, including 33 women, while the entire colony had a German population of 316, including 61 women and 14 children.

On April 24, Interior minister Mehmed Talat passed the order of April 24 (known by the Armenians as the Red Sunday), claimed that the Armenians in this region organized under the leadership of Russians and rebelled against his government, as they had shown in their securing of Van for Armenian nationalists.
