Not all women experienced commodification as an external force, and without question they relied on their own potential for imagining and building new words. すべての女性が外部の力として商品化を経験するというわけではなかった、そして、疑い無く、彼らは自分自身の潜在能力に頼って新語を想像して造った。 Inasmuch as mass women's magazines exposed women to commodities for personal and household use, they incited some uneasiness in women. 大量の女性誌によって女性は個人でまた家庭で用いるための必需品を知ることになったので、内心の若干の不安を刺激された。 (注)この文は mass women's magazine が主語の無生物主語の文になっています。直訳すれば、 大量の女性誌が女性を個人でまた家庭で用いるための必需品にさらしたので、それらは女性の内心の若干の不安を刺激した。 となります。 But they very likely offered simultaneously the hope and opportunity for a satisfactory from of release from the desire for material goods, which had until then been largely repressed. しかし、女性誌は同時にたぶん有形財に対する欲求ーその時まで多いに抑制されてきたーからの満足できる形での解放のための望みと機会を提供した。 この文の satisfactory from は satisfactory form と原文ではなっているのではないでしょうか？ In Japan, and other parts of the world, cumulative social changes were disrupting in the city and country alike. 日本で、また世界の他の地域で、累積的な社会の変化は都市でも地方でも同様に混乱を引き起こすものであった。 The pull to maintain the ties of family existed, but signs of instability sent tremors through the domestic community and society as a whole. 家族の絆を維持する力は存在した、しかし、不安定性の徴候は震動を全体として国内の地域社会と社会に与えた。

女性の購買の話を中心にして、社会における女性の位置づけや方向性に言及した文のようです。以下かなり意訳ですのでご参考まで。 --- すべての女性が商品に翻弄されたわけではない。商品ではなくて新しい言葉を生み出したりして楽しむこともあった。女性誌は、女性にモノの購入を勧め不安をあたえるが、同時にモノから離れることの満足感を女性にあたえることもした。都市部でもそれ以外でも社会の変化は少なくなっている。家族の絆を保とうとする一方で不安感も広がっている。

    　「次の英語を要約せよ」とあったのですが、英文要約は初めてで、どこが重要なのか分からなく、要約できなくて困っています。 　次の文章の要約、もしくはそのヒントとなることを教えていただけると幸いです。 （次の文章は、過去のどこかの国公立大学の二次試験だったそうです。） 　次の英文の内容を130～150字程度の日本語に要約せよ。ただし、句読点文字数に含める。 Those who have studied the human brain have long known that it has two hemispheres, and that each performance specific functions. The right side of the brain is thought to govern the motor functions of the left side of the body. It is also the side that performance "nonrational" mental functions, such as intuition, pattern recognition, nonverbal communication, playfulness, abstraction, and the like. The left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body, and the "rational" functions of logic, calculation, verbal articulation, structured observation, analysis, and so forth. Recent evidence that expands our knowledge of these differences has become from work with brain-impaired patients. In sum, the evidence suggests that people who have had damage to the left side of the brain suffer losses of speech, writing ability, and the ability to performance logical calculation. They continue, however, to function normally in therms of "nonrational" activities. The opposite is also found to be true: damage to the right side of the brain results in loss of the spatial sense, of nonverbal skills, of such qualities as humor, color sensitivity, and intuition. This evidence has led to speculation that differences in hemisphere dominance produce differences in thinking and in the approach to problems. Although they are still highly speculative, these notions do provide support for the existence of preferences in styles of thinking. If it were found that the anatomy and physiology of the brain does indeed govern the styles of thinking that people have developed, would that mean that nothing could be done to alter them? It is of course a possibility, one that would explain the persistence of particular styles of thinking throughout life. But we doubt that the governance of the physical brain is at all absolute. There is entirely too much evidence in favor of the flexibility of the human mind. We suspect that the brain is capable of altering its own capabilities. There are too many people we have seen who have learned to think out of the "other side" of their brains. 　文字数の関係で、訳まで入れることができませんでした。 　どうか、英文要約の第一歩の手助けを宜しくお願いします

    Spices have a long and surprising history. They ware first used in China about 5000 years ago, mostly for medical reasons. News of their medicinal properties and their flavors spread rapidly. Eventually, a huge spice market grew up around the Mediterranean coastal areas. In ancient Rome, spices were also used in place of money. For example, peppercorns were a preferred form of payment. They were convenient because they were small and they weren’t as heavy as metal coins. There was such a high demand for pepper that its trading value was high. A pound of pepper could buy several sheep. Only the richest Romans could afford to season their food with pepper, so it was a sort of status symbol. Most people couldn’t afford to use their pepper for cooking. Over the centuries, people mainly used spices to preserve foods and to cover up the taste of foods that were rotten or diseased. Spices were so important for those reasons that they indirectly led to the exploration of the world. In the 15th and 16th centuries, European explorers set out to find new ways to get them. Explorers like Columbus discovered new lands as a result of their search for new spice trade routes. In this way, the story of spices is quite fascinating. を80～90語で要約しないといけないのですが、どこをどう要約すればいいのか全然分かりません…。アドバイスをぜひお願いします。 自分なりにやってみたものです 　　　　　↓ The history of spices is long and full of surprising facts.

    この英文の要約を簡単にお願いします！ (1)At a recent town meeting, residents of a rural Australian town voted to ban the sale of bottled water. They are probably the first community in the world to do so. This decision, made by residents of Bundanoon, was the second blow in one day to Australia's bottled drinks industry. Hours earlier, the New South Wales state government had banned all state departments and agencies from buying bottled water, calling it a waste of money and natural resources. (2)First popular in the 1980s as a convenient, healthy alternative to sweet drinks, bottled water today is attracting criticism for being environmentally damaging. Not only are used plastic bottles filling up garbage disposal sites, their production and distribution also use up large amounts of energy. (3)Because of these reasons, over the past few years, at least 60 local governments in the US and a number of others in Canada and the UK have agreed to stop spending public public money on bottled water, which public officials used to consume during meetings. But this is the first time that a community has banned the sale of bottled water. (4)Bundanoon's battle against the bottle began some years ago, when a Sydney-based company announced plans to pump local water out of the ground. Residents were furious about the possibility of an outside company taking local water, trucking ip to Sydney for bottling, and then selling it back to them. The town is still fighting the company's proposal in court. (5)Then in March, Huw Kingston, who owns the town's cafe and bike shop, decided that if the town was so opposed to hosting a water bottling company , it should also ban the end product, or in other words, bottled water. To prevent damaging the town's businesses that sell bottled water, Kingston suggested they instead sell bottles that could be used again and again, for the same price. Residents would be able to fill the bottles for free at public water tank, or pay a small fee to fill them with local water in the town's shops. (6)Over 300 people voted on the ban. This was the biggest assembly ever for a town meeting. Only two people voted against the proposal. One of them said he was worried that banning bottled water would encourage people to consume more sweet drinks. The other was Geoff Parker, direct of the Australasian Bottled Water Institute, which represents the bottled water industry. Parker attacked the ban as unfair and ineffective. He said that the bottled water industry is a leader in finding ways to reduce human impact on the environment, and also that the ban reduces consumer choice. “To take away the consumer's right to choose the healthiest drink option goes against common sense,” he stated. (7)But tap water is just as good as the water you find bottled in plastic, said the campaign organiser Jon Dee, who serves as director of the Australian environment group “Do Something!”. "We're hoping this ban will make people remember the days when we did not have bottled water," he said

    長文になりますがよろしくお願いします。 Female Power The economic empowerment of women across the rich world is one of the most remarkable revolutions of the past 50 years. It is remarkable because of the extent of the change: millions of people who were once dependent on men have taken control of their own economic fates. It is remarkable also because it has produced so little friction:a change that affects the most intimate aspects of people’s identities has been widely welcomed by men as well as women. Dramatic social change seldom takes such a benign form. Yet even benign change can come with a sting in its tail. Social arrangements have not caught up with economic changes. Many children have paid price for the rise of the two-income household. Many women-and indeed many men-feel that they are caught in an ever-tightening tangle of commitments. If the empowerment of women was one of the great changes of the great changes of the past 50 years, dealing with its social consequences will be one of the great challenges of the next 50. At the end of her campaign to become America’s first female president in 2008, Hillary Clinton remarked that her 18m votes in the Democratic Party’s primaries represented 18m cracks in the glass celling. In the market for jobs rather than votes the ceiling is being cracked every day. Women now make up almost half of American workers(49.9% in October.) They run some of the world’s best companies, such as PepsiCo, Archer Daniels Midland and W.L. Gore. The earn almost 60% of university degrees in America and Europe. Progress has not been uniform of course. In Italy and Japan employment rates for men are more than 20 percentage points higher for women. Although Italy’s female employment rate has risen markedly in the past decade, it is still below 50%, and more than 20 percentage points below those of Denmark and Sweden. Women earn substantially less than men on average and are severely under-represented at the top of organisations. The change is dramatic nevertheless. A generation ago working women performed menial jobs and were routinely subjected to casual sexism-as “Mad Men”, a television drama about advertising executives in the early 1960s, demonstrates brilliantly. Today women make up the majority of professional workers in many countries(51% in the United States, for example) and casual sexism is for losers. Even holdouts such as the Mediterranean countries are changing rapidly. In Spain the proportion of young women in the labour force has now reached American levels. The glass is much nearer to begin half full than half empty. What explains this revolution? Politics have clearly played a part. Feminists such as betty Friedan have demonised domestic slavery and lambasted discrimination. Governments have passed equal-rights acts. Female politicians such as Margaret Thatcher and Mrs. Clinton have taught younger women that anything is possible. But politics is only part of the answer: such discordant figures as Ms. Friedan and Lady Thatcher have been born aloft by subterranean economic and technological forces. The rich world has seen a growing demand for women’s labour. When brute strength mattered more than brains, men had an inherent advantage. Now that brainpower has triumphed the two sexes are more evenly matched. The feminisation of the workforce has been driven by the relentless rise of the service sector(where women can compete as well as men) and the equally relentless decline of manufacturing(where they could not). the landmark book in the rise of feminism was arguably not Ms. Friedan’s “The Feminine Mystique” but Daniel Bell’s “The Coming of Post-Industrial Society”. Demand has been matched by supply:women are increasingly willing and able to work outside the home. The vacuum cleaner has played its part. Improved technology reduced the amount of time needed for the traditional female work of cleaning and cooking. But the most important innovation has been the contraceptive pill.

    この英文の内容の和訳をお願いします。 Poll finds India worst for women. India scored poorly largely because of such practices as under-age marriage, dowry-abuse, domestic violence and female foeticide. The country's Domestic Violence Act, passed seven years ago, was described as progressive. But gender violence, fuelled by social prejudice against girls does persist, especially in low income families. In India, the status of women is closely linked to wealth and class. There are plenty of well-educated, professional women who enjoy personal freedoms and a Western lifestyle. India first had a female prime minister in the nineteen sixties and currently has its first female President. But their experience stands in marked contrast to the lives of rural women in the least developed states.

    Full well do I know that in order to attain any definite goal it is imperative that one person should do the thinking and commanding and carry most of the responsibility. But those who are led should not be driven, and they should be allowed to choose their leader. It seems to me that the distinctions separating the social classes are false; in the last analysis they rest on force. I am convinced that degeneracy follows every autocratic system of violence, for violence inevitably attracts moral inferiors. Time has proved that illustrious tyrants are succeeded by scoundrels. For this reason I have always been passionately opposed to such regimes as exist in Russia and Italy to-day. The thing which has discredited the European forms of democracy is not the basic theory of democracy itself, which some say is at fault, but the instability of our political leadership, as well as the impersonal character of party alignments.

    I have some questions. 1, Why they can’t make big boats to compete to others? They don’t have budget to do? Or they don’t have ports to moor such big boats? If only they have bigger boats the same as others or more, they can make a living by it? Which is their wish? To make a living by fishing or tourism? If possible do they want to live as fishermen in the city? If only they have big budget they can make gig boats and can compete from others? Or once they know the other way (tourism), they don’t want to come back to instability life anymore? 2, why could they make their city such a big place for tourism? Even if only the reason is beauty, historic and registered world heritage, I think there are many places such kind of cities, for example in Japan Kyoto ,Nara and so on. but they aren’t so increasing . Are there any other reason? Reply Commented on at 8:53 AM on May 25, 2011
