safeは形容詞ですよ。 safeを副詞の形にすると、safely。形容詞+ly=副詞となります。 これは並列、もしくは添加のandでしょう。 まず、知覚動詞は大丈夫ですか?この場合、see O ~の形をとっています。そこで見てみると…… see her son(O:目的語)back home and safe. の部分だけ取り外してみると、her sonが目的語だというのは分かります。そのあとの「~」に当てはまるのが、「back home」と「safe」です。ここはつまり、二つの形容詞を並列あるいは添加しているということになります。では分かりやすいように、ちょっと直訳っぽい形にしてみます。 she was relieved to see her son back home and safe. (彼女は息子が”帰ってきたこと”、そして”無事だったこと”を見て安心した。) という風に見てみればどうでしょう?「帰ってきたこと」と「無事だったこと」をお母さんは見て、ほっと安心したということです。 「帰ってくる」「無事である」という状態は一度見るだけで、どちらも確認することができます。そのためにここは形容詞をandでつなげて並列もしくは添加をしているというわけなのです。 ちょっとややこしい説明かもしれませんが、おそらくそういうことなんじゃないかと思います。

    I recently had my first baby. It is a magical time for me and my husband. My parents, who live relatively close by, were elated by my son’s arrival and are very doting grandparents. My mother and I have had a very rocky history, and I was hopeful that my son could have a relationship with his grandmother, separate from my own issues with her. As she is with everything in my life, my mother is extremely overbearing. She never gives me a compliment and constantly questions and criticizes every decision I make. She is very concerned about appearances, and tries to constantly push her wishes for how to dress and feed my child, etc., on me. I accept and welcome suggestions—but my mother will force her will. She nags, belittles, and insults my decisions until I replace them with her own. She constantly interferes in our decisions. Ignoring her is impossible, as she will nag until you agree to adopt her decision. My father tells me that she is my mother, and although she is very difficult, she will not change, so I must. This has been the song and dance of my whole life. I am tired of having to be the one to roll over just because she won’t change or accept my decisions. ここでのthe song and danceとroll overはどのような意味でしょうか?よろしくお願いします

  • molly and coke

    Q. Update—Cat at the rager: I wrote you about my acquaintance who would bring her cat to raves in a special cat backpack. She ended up breaking up with her EDM DJ boyfriend, so the raves stopped for a while. She wanted a healthier lifestyle, so she became a superintense vegan and doesn’t do molly and coke as much. She actually had two cats but ended up giving the older one away because it was too expensive to feed both of them the raw meat diet that she gives them. Then she got back together with her ex, and the last Facebook post of hers I saw was the boyfriend sitting naked on the toilet with the cat on his lap. Life is a rich tapestry. molly and cokeとは何でしょうか?あと、Life is a rich tapestry.の意味も教えてください。よろしくお願いします

  • 彼女は自分の息子に医者になって欲しいと・・・

    こんばんは。 いつも教えていただいてありがとうございます。 悩みが減ってとてもうれしいです。 彼女は自分の息子に医者になって欲しいと思っています。 という文を英語にしなさいという問題でした。 答えは She wants her son to be a doctor. でした。 私は、 She hopes her son will be a doctor.と書きました。 これだと間違いですか? またどんなところが間違っているかや、 もし間違っていなければ二つの文の違いが知りたいです。 よかったらおしえてください。。

  • 次の英文の解釈を教えてください

    I found her crying when I returned to the place where she was. という文章ですが、<>を副詞節のカッコ、[]を名詞節のカッコとすると、 I found her crying <when I returned to the place <where she was>>. と解釈するのが普通(?)ですが、僕はふと、the placeを省略できるのでは?と思いました。省略すると、 I found her crying <when I returned to [where she was]>. として、returned toのtoの前置詞の目的語として、名詞節として解釈すると、文法的に成り立つことはできるのではないのでしょうか?

  • 和訳お願いします

    少し長めですが、和訳をお願いいたします。 Now, at the end of this virtual visit, I ask the mother if there’s anything else I can do for her today. She says no, she’s set, she just wanted to know if she should bring her baby to the emergency room, and she’s relieved she doesn’t have to. I say great, that she should feel free to call us back if she has any other questions.
