パリのホテルでフランスの役人との会食に出かける準備を済ませた将軍が、「どうしてもこのディナーに出席しなきゃあならんのかなぁ」という。 「地位のある者にディナーは避けて通れないですよ」チャーリー・フリン大佐がいう。 「おい、チャーリー」とマッククリスタル将軍がいう、「これもそうなのか？」 マッククリスタル将軍は中指を立ててみせる。 * 中指を立てるのは、人を馬鹿にしているという意思表示だと思われます。

以下の英文を和訳していただける方に。 ご回答をお願いできますでしょうか。 ミスなどがありましたら、ご指摘いただけると嬉しいです。 よろしくお願いします。 Mars is in Scorpio, the sign which he co rules, this gives you the secret power to attract. To him, you will have great charisma, a brooding irresistible sex appeal which exudes from nowhere like an undercurrent, but if you know how to use it will gives you power over him and power over men generally. But mars doesn’t bring instant success in love in this sign. There will be struggle and unhappiness in the relationship before there is gain. He may drink or have destructive habits, that slowly undermine your happiness. He will have a faint red mark, scar or cut on the hand near the thumb or index finger. Possibly a mark or scar in the region of the groin or upper leg from a childhood cut.

和訳をお願いします 長くなってすみません(>_<) A situation comedy,or sitcom, is a type of comedy program that is popular in the U.S. The stories are often about everyday events in daily life and take place in a common setting such as a home or office. In many sitcoms, we hear people not on the screen laughing at the funny parts of the show. This is called a laugh track. It is a separate sound track added to the program. This gives viewers the feeling that they are in atheater with a lot of other people. Sitcoms are popular not only in America but also in many English-speaking countries around the world.

和訳お願いします！！ Good manners and etiquette are important in our lives. Without them, our world becomes an uncomfortable place to live in. However, many people have little idea of what is the right thing to do or to say in some situations. After all, we get no formal education or training in manners or etiquette. Most of us learn our manners from family and friends while we are still children. Very often, the manners we learn when we are children become habits for the rest of our lives. I have a friend whose name is Bill. He is an executive at an American company and recently came to Japan on business. While having dinner together, he told me about how his company had tried to find a top-level manager. After much searching and interviews by experts, the list of applicants for the job was narrowed to three persons. As the final test, they were invited to dinner in a famous restaurant. Judging from the ability and experience, the last person,Tom, seemed to be the best. However, he was not employed. During dinner, he made noise while having his soup. He kept talking when eating. And he used his finger to push the last small vegetable on his fork. Bill said, "Oh, poor Tom. What a pity!" I told Bill that his company should have employed Tom and then trained him like in Japan and that many people in the world eat with their fingers. "Oh, really?" he answered. I was also thinking of telling Bill about a famous incident that took place about ten years ago. The U.S.President got sick at a formal dinner in Tokyo and dirtied the clothes of the person sitting beside him. I would have liked to ask Bill: if people with such bad manners can become President of America, then what is wrong when someone uses his finger to push the last green pea on his fork? However, I decided to keep my mouth shut. The reason? This would be a bad topic to talk about, especially when having dinner with a friend. よろしくお願いします 人´Д｀*） * 和訳＋αで、段落ごとに約５０文字ぐらいで、要約してもらえると助かります (´∀｀*)

After 20 weeks, the monkeys' colour skills improved dramatically, indicating that Dalton and Sam had acquired the ability to see in three shades. Both monkeys have retained this skill for more than two years with no apparent side effects, the researchers report in Nature. Adding the missing gene was sufficient to restore full colour vision without further rewiring of the brain even though the monkeys had been colour blind since birth. "There is this plasticity still in the brain and it is possible to treat cone defects with gene therapy," says Alexander Smith, a molecular biologist and vision researcher at University College London, who did not contribute to the study. "It doesn't seem like new neural connections have to be formed," says Komáromy. "You can add an additional cone opsin pigment and the neural circuitry and visual pathways can deal with it." Three human gene therapy trials are currently under way for loss of sight due to serious degeneration of the retina. These phase I safety studies injected a similar type of virus vector (but carrying a different gene) behind the retina as in the monkeys, and people treated have shown no serious adverse effects more than a year after, with some participants reporting marked improvements in vision. These first human trials — which repair rods, a different type of photoreceptor cell — can be seen as a safety benchmark for any future treatment of cone diseases and colour blindness in humans, says Neitz. "The biggest issue is that people who are colour blind have very good vision," Neitz says. "So before people are going to want to treat colour blindness you're going to want to ensure that this is completely safe, and that's going to take some work." よろしくお願いします＾＾；

I'm not happy with the "rebuild". Rather than rebuilding the top portion of the it, as promised, it was simply re-cleared and the previous defect shows right through. There is an additional scratch that is easily felt with a finger nail on the bottom left, although on the right on the picture since it is from the back, which was previously not there. This defect does not photograph well, but is visible in the picture if you know where to look." です。よろしくお願いいたします。

和訳お願いします Brain imaging has allowed a man who was previously considered unconscious to answer a series of yes-or-no question. The study, published this week in New England Journal of Medicine, challenges clinicians' definition of consciousness and provides an unprecedented opportunity to communicate with those who show no outward signs of awareness. Patients are classified as unconscious, or being in a vegetative state, if they are unable to respond in any fashion to an extensive series of questions and requests. But if the patient is completely unable to move, an aware or communicative mind could go unrecognized by this method of assessment. The conundrum with the vegetative state is that it's a diagnosis made on lack of evidence, says neuroscientist Adrian Owen of the Medical Research Council's Cognition and Brian Sciences Unit in Cambridge, UK. Owen and his colleagues made headlines three years ago when they used a brain-scanning technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to demonstrate that a woman in a vegetative state could respond to verbal commands. When researchers directed her to imagine playing a game of tennis or walking through her house, the fMRI scan revealed that she activated the same areas of her brain as healthy subjects who were asked to do the same. The findings sparked a debate over whether or not the woman was actually conscious(see Thoughts of woman in waking coma revealed).Some argued that Owen and his collaborators saw was nothing more than an automatic activation of those brain regions on hearing certain words. One such critic was Lionel Naccache, a neuroscientist at the Pitie-Salpetriere hospital in Paris, who urged caution before concluding that the woman was indeed conscious. This latest evidence of communication with a vegetative patients, however, has Naccache convinced. This is clear-cut evidence of consciousness he says.

スプレー式の食用オイルに関する記事なのですが、 She says the FDA determines serving sizes, in this case, a third of a second of spray time. And companies are legally bound to state that a serving with less than 5 calories and half a gram of fat is calorie- and fat-free. このin this case, a third of a second of spray time.という部分がよく分かりません。どういう意味でしょうか？ I don’t think most people have a stopwatch sitting there where they could even time that third or fourth of a second, but that is the law. こちらのthird or fourth of a second,の部分もよく分かりません。 どなたか、和訳を教えて頂けませんか？
