（１）アメリカの様に見えるファーストファミリー ー オバマ・ロビンソン一族は人種、文化、言語、の境界を越えた。 火曜日に就任したバラク・オバマ大統領は、今までの代々のアメリカ人を驚かすような大家族に囲まれ、未来の代々のアメリカ人のためにファースト・ファミリーの肖像を描き変えた。 （２）奴隷制度から、奴隷が建てたホワイトハウスに入るまで、いわばアフリカからの旅の最後の一歩をおえるべく集まった人々は、オバマの回顧録からそっくりそのまま抜け出て来たかのように見えた、 ーー もはや回りに溶け込めるかどうか案じている若者の、浮立った親戚ではなく、新しい大統領の、変化への約束、そのものであった。 （３）先週のインタビューで「我々はホワイトハウスの新住民だ、しかしこの国の新住民ではない。今までのホワイトハウスは、この国の多様性を反映したものとは言えない」と大統領の半妹、マヤ・ソエトロは言った。 （４）（これはもう訳したので省略） A. もう黒人がホワイトハウスに入ってもいい頃だ。 B. 驚いたのは relatives です。驚いた原因は、オバマが彼らを導いた道のり（where he has brought them）です。

ワシントンポストの記事なんですが But Japan's upheaval also presents Obama with a significant new challenge in Asia. The president will have to walk a fine line in correctly identifying and strengthening the moderates in the new government while containing the coalition's left- and right-wing extremists. And the president has done himself no favor at this moment by choosing John Roos, a California lawyer and in 2008 a mega-fundraiser for Obama, as his ambassador to Tokyo. Over time, Obama's complicity with chief of staff Rahm Emanuel in stuffing the most important U.S. embassies with campaign bagmen instead of experienced foreign policy professionals will come back to haunt this White House — nowhere more so than in Japan. 和訳していただけますか？ よろしくお願いします。

以下の翻訳でかなりこまっています！ 少し前のオバマ大統領についての文献の内容なんですが... 途中までは翻訳できたのですが、メディア英語なるもになれてなくて意訳なども苦手なのでお力借りたく投稿いたしました。 As they convened to take their family's final step in its joueney from africa;through slavery to the slave-built White house ,the group seemed as though they had stepped right out ofthe pages of Obama's memoir -----no longer the disparate kin of a young man wondering how fe fit in,but the embodiment of a new president's promise of change. For well ober two centuries,the united states has ben vastly more diverce than its governing families. Now the obama family has flipped that around,with a cast that looks almost nothing like thier overwhelmingly white,Protestant predecessors in the role. ここから段落が飛びます。 Obama follows former president george w.bush,who had a presidential son's self-assured grip on power.Aside from a top-quality education,the new president came to politics with none of his predecessor's advantage:no famous last name,no deep-pocketed parents to finance early forays into politics and,in fact,not muc of of a father at all.So obama built his political career from scratch,with best-selling books and long-shot runs for office,leaving his relatives astonished at where he was brought them. いそいでいるので評価はあとでゆっくりコメントさせていただきますので、お手数ですが回答のほうよろしくお願いいたします。 身勝手な質問をお許しください！ わかるとこだけでもいいので！

- In Mr. Obama, の意味
NEWYORKTIMESのオンライン記事です。 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/09/us/politics/09assess.html?_r=1&hp=&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1199855744-cjp94KCs/LOv0ZC6O2kOyg For all the glee in her camp, she still faces big challenges. In Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton is facing an opponent who has been lifted on the wind of nationwide anti-Washington climate change. She has often appeared to be exasperated in seeking to challenge his level of experience, his consistency, his positions or his electability against a Republican party certain to fight hard to hold the White House. 上の文章の In Mr.Obama, Mrs.Clinton is facing...の部分で、In Mr.Obama の意味は、何なんでしょうか。単に、「オバマ氏に関して」のような意味でいいのでしょうか。それとも、「オバマ氏との戦いにおいて」のような意味にするべきなのでしょうか。

The crisis appears at about the same time as the crisis of the empty nest- the departure of the last child from the home-which affects particularly the wife. She may be unable to turn to her husband for help in dealing with the empty-nest crisis, because he is preoccupied with his own crisis of adjusting to the limits on his career and the implied limits on his abilities. Especially if the wife has learned only the traditional view of woman’s role in society-wife and mother-the departure of the last child will be a crisis. For such a woman one of the main purposes in life has ended, bringing about a sudden “retirement” that was unwanted and largely unanticipated. お願いします。

At that age, he is likely to be employed, but if he loses his job new employment is harder to find than when he was younger. Furthermore, even if he stays employed, the extra financial burdens and high economic inflation may force a reduction in the standard of living. Recently the problem is being avoided by the wife’s reentering the labor force, but unless she has specialized training, a well-paying job will be hard to find. お願いします。

Among the men of science, he was undoubtedly sufficiently disturbed by Newton's patent lack of intellectual ancestry or descendants to add a lengthy and unconvincing note that attempted to find signs of eminence in Newton's family. Most surprisingly, Galton failed to mention in the book some highly reputed English scientists, including the mathematician George Boole, the chemist John Dalton, the physicist Michael Faraday, the astronomer Edmond Halley, the naturalist John Ray, and the architect Christopher Wren. Faraday, the most celebrated scientist of the Victorian era, was a particularly revealing omission, since, as the son of a humble blacksmith, Faraday and his family could lend no weight to the book's thesis.

以下の英文を和訳していただけるかたのみで。 お願いできますでしょうか？ 内容的にまだ続いてる感じだと思います。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 Yet he had a fairly happy family life and childhood. Background and family history are important to him. He may have had a strong attachment or respect for his father, who was affluent and a sense of family pride. He may have missed out on parental love in his childhood. He would have grown reserved and cautious. May have had some health weakness or weakens of constitution. His interest would have centered on the family. He wanted to shine out. Make his family proud of him, and he would have helped other family members out and taken an interest in their lives and affairs.

Moreover-taking the word "tragedy" in its most ordinary modern sense-it is Gretchen who suffers the tragedy, which Faust takes in his stride. We never see him hunted by the furies, like Orestes: no sooner has Part Two begun than spirits "remove the burning arrows of remorse, and cleanse his mind of memories." And though he dies blind like Oedipus, (1)【he does not blind himself with clasps plucked in a passion from the corpse of his beloved, resolved to live in infamy and night.】 Rather, he loses his sight when he is a hundred years old, just before he dies in a moment of elation. Faust's sufferings are incidental. He is not a tragic hero like Orestes, who is called upon to kill his mother, or like Oedipus, who owes it to his city to find out who killed his predecessor and who thus discovers that he killed his father and is wedded to his mother. In Faust, tragedy engulfs not the hero but representatives of unheroic, non-outstanding, suffering humanity: Gretchen, Philemon and Baucis, Gretchen's mother. The death of Philemon and Baucis in the fifth act of Part Two involves no tragic conflict in Faust's mind: he has given different instructions; their death is a hideous surprise to him; but again he takes it in his stride.(2)【 It is another episode, no more.】(3)【 In retrospect we realize, if it was not clear to us all along, that Gretchen's tragedy, too, was a mere episode.】 The drama is epic, the effect cumulative. 『Goethe's Faust by Walter Kaufmann』 上記の英文の(1)【】、(2)【】、(3)【】の部分について質問です。 (1)【he does not blind himself with clasps plucked in a passion from the corpse of his beloved, resolved to live in infamy and night.】 ＊clasps pluckedとはどういう意味にとればよいのでしょうか？ ＊全体はどういう訳になりますか？ (2)【 It is another episode, no more.】 ＊これはどういうことを言っているのでしょうか？ another episodeとは？ (3)【 In retrospect we realize, if it was not clear to us all along, that Gretchen's tragedy, too, was a mere episode.】 ＊文の構造がよくわかりません。 if節があって、帰結はGretchen's tragedy, too, was a mere episodeだと思うのですが、Gretchen's tragedyの前にthatがついているのがわかりません。 ＊また、it was not clear to us all alongのitは何をさしているのでしょうか？ よろしくお願いいたします。
