英語の和訳なのですが、、、

学生なんですけど英語が苦手で なかなか和訳できません だから教えてください 題名:Written Language 内容: Children between the ages of two and five are able to acquire a spoken language without much help. Parents may help by correcting mistakes, but children learn to speak mostly by listening to the people around them. They imitate the sounds that they have heard. On the other hand, writing systems must be taught. In Japan for example, children learn how to read and write kanji, hiragana, and katakana for a number of years. They have teachers and textbooks to help them. Speech is a very efficient method of communication. No tools are needed. The sounds that are used are made with the lungs, throat, tongue and mouth. Speech is also very quick. Speaking a sentence is much faster than writing it down. Needless to say, speech also has limitations. To begin with, once a sound is made, it disappers forever, so communication is limited to that particular time and place. Ideas that are passed on from person to person must be remembered and repeated precisely. Also, since spoken words are stored only in the minds of the listener, what is spoken can be forgotten or remembered incorrectly. With written language, however, a writer can carefully create sentences that communicate his or her ideas precisely. Once the words are written down, they can be read by anyone who can read that language. 結構長いですがよろしくお願いします

2歳から5歳の子供たちは、あまり助けがなくても口語を習得することができる。両親が誤りを正すことが助けになるかもしれないが、子供たちはもっぱら周りの人の話を聞いて話すことを覚える。彼らは耳にする音をまねるのである。 他方、書き方は教わらなければならない。例えば、日本では、子供たちは漢字、ひらがな、カタカナの読み書きを何年も習う。彼らには、助けとなってくれる教師と教科書がある。 話すことはとても効率的なコミュニケーション方法である。道具は一切必要ない。用いられる音は、肺、のど、舌、口で作られる。話すことはまたとても素早い。文を話すことは、それを書きとることよりもはるかに速い。 言うまでもなく、話すことにも限界がある。まず初めに、一たび音が作られたら、それは永久に消えてしまうので、コミュニケーションはその特定の時と場所に限られる。人から人へ伝えられる考えは、覚えておいて、正確に繰り返されなければならない。また、話された言葉は聞き手の頭の中にしかとどめ置かれないので、話されたことは、忘れられたり、誤って覚えられたりする場合がある。しかしながら、書き言葉に関しては、書き手は自分の考えを正確に伝える文章を注意深く作ることができる。ひとたび言葉が書きとめられたら、その言語を読める誰もがそれを読めるのである。

    There is another difference that visitors often notice in American schools. There is less importance given to the learning of facts than is usual in the school systems of many other countries. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves,to ask questions, to explore, and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time learning how to use resource materials, libraries, statistics, and computers. Computers are used in many classrooms, frequently stating in kindergarten. The American system of education is based on the idea that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. This is America's answer to the question that thoughtful parents around the world are asking the world are asking themselves in this fast-paced time: "How can one prepare today's child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?"

One such tongue is Tofa, spoken by only about 60 people who keep reindeer on the empty land in Siberia. One of the researchers speaks the language, and says that he can speak fluently enough to be able to express anything he wants to say. The researchers have been trying to keep records of endangered languages or videos. They have done fieldwork across the globe to investigate languages ranging from Faroese (50,000 speakers) to Banawa, one of 300 languages spoken in the Amazon basin. At a recent meeting, Yaron Matras, who speaks 13 languages, played a recording of a British Romani speaker made in the 1950s. He said that British Romani is now ((2)) at the level of extinction, and he is ((3)) looking for the alleged four or five families in Wales who still speak it. There is no shortage of languages. At the last count there were about 6,000 , but only 4% of them are spoken by 96% of the people in the world. About 10 languages, including English, Arabic, and Hindi, are spoken by more than 100 million people each. No one needs to worry about them. But the little languages with little chance of survival need help. According to a professor at the University of Manchester, people are aware of threats to ecology and of species dying out, but they don't realize that we are leaving languages to die out. It is true that every languages is the repository of the culture of the people who speak it. When we lose the last speaker, we lose the people's cultural memory.

    If the speaker is urging war and part of his audience understand him to be pleading for peace, we say quite simply that they are mistaken,that they have misunderstood the speaker.

    It is easy to say that English will be the dominant language of the 21st century. After all, it is the main language of the world's biggest economy, the United States, and the common language of business. A large percent of the information on the Internet is in English, and worldwide, many countries are rushing to learn English, since they regard it as vital for economic success.For example, English is the working language of the Asian trade group ASEAN. ln addition, in Malaysia English recently replaced Malay as the language used to teach mathematics and science in schools. The dream of many is that English will develop into a truly global language so that wherever we go, we can understand and be understood. This would ease cultural misunderstandings, encourage tourism, enable trade to work smoothly,reduce the conflict between nations, and lead to a more peaceful world. たくさん投稿しますが、よろしくお願いしますm(_ _)m

    Arabic is the language of lslam, which has about 1.5 billion fllowers worldwide, and dialects of this language are spoken from Turkey to Indonesia, from Pakistan to Sudan. Perhaps more surprisingly, Hindi and Urdu are the second most-spoken languages in the world after Chinese. The world may increasingly organize itself around a relatively small number of languages. But why? lt is no surprise that the strongest languages are those of cotintries and regions that are powerful,maybe not only in an economic or political sense, but perhaps more importantly,in a cultural sense. For example, since using a translated copy of the Koran is forbidden, Muslims worldwide must learn Arabic. What about weaker countries?Many cultures are fighting keep their languages alive, particularly in the face of increasing exposure to English. よろしくお願いしますm(_ _)m

    英語の和訳がどうしても苦手です… 中2なんですが上手に和訳できません よかったらこの和訳教えてください About six thousand languages are spoken in the world. These languages are different. However, they share a common characteristic. They are built from sounds. These sounds are combined to make syllables. These syllables can be combined make words. The words are then combined to form sentences. Writing systems are a little different. There are seven major writing systems in the world : Chinese (kanji), English (Latin), Russian (Cyrillic), Arabic, Indic (Devanagari), Korean (Hangul), and Japanese (katakana and hiragana). Some writing systems are read from left to right. Other are read from right to left, or up to down. These writing systems can be organized into three categories. (1)Logographic In a logographic writing system, each character has meaning. Often, the character contains a picture that represents its meaning. Chinese kanji and Egyptian hieroglyphs are both logographic systems. In this system, the sound of the word is not represented in the character. (2)Syllabic In the syllabic writing system, each character forms one syllable. Each written symbol represents a vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants. Most writing systems of East and South Asia are syllabic. Japanese hiragana and katakana are two examples of syllabic writing systems. (3)Alphabetic In an alphabetic writing system, each character represents a sound. In English, for example, each of the three letters in the word top represents a different sound. The three sounds combine to make one syllable. In the word thanks, the letters t and h are used together to represent the th sound. The Latin and Cyrillic systems, which are used in the major European languages, are in this category. なのですが、お願いします!!
