こんにちは。ヒントを出しますので、自分で考えてみてね。 １：Two dogs enter a room ＜in a senior citizens` home＞. おそらく、＜＞内が訳せないんだと思います。単語の意味を取ってみましょう。 「senior」っていうのは「高齢の」とか「年配の」っていう意味。「ctizen」というのは「市民」という意味です。じゃあ、これをあわせてみると「高齢の（年配の）市民」。でもこれじゃ、訳として不自然だから・・・「高齢者の」でいいでしょう。ただし注意！「ctizens`」となっています。これは複数形に「アポストロフィーS」がついて所有の意味が加えられています。 ということは「高齢者たちのいる家」・・・それって何のことだか、想像できませんか？ ２：Then everyone begins to smile and laugh. 「smile」と「laugh」の意味の違いを説明します。「smile」の方は「声を立てずに笑う。」つまり「微笑む」ということです。「laugh」はその逆で「声を立てて笑う。」ということは・・・ ３、４："I think it`s great. It`s lovely to see them and they`re so frindly,"says a lady who is 97 years old. 文脈の判断です。「they」が何を指しているのかをチェックしましょう。ずばりそれは、先ほど出てきた「Two dogs」です！そして、そのあとに「says a lady who is 97 years old.」となっています。これは雰囲気的に判断できると思います。「""」の中の台詞を、この９７歳のおばあちゃんが言っているのでは？ ５：She looks forward to the days when the dogs come. ずばりポイントは一つ！「look forward to ～」で「～を楽しみに待つ」です。 ６：Friendly dogs can often help older people and sick children. ７：The dogs help them by giving love. これはがんばって考えましょう。ポイントは一つもない単調な文。 ８：In homes where older people live, some of them are lonely. ９：They don`t have much to enjoy. ９の部分がややこしく見えますが、「much」というのを「much things」と考えてみればできるはず。 １０：They often just sit or sleep in their chairs. １１：They talk to no one. １２：They do nothing. １３：When the dogs visit the home, the older people become friendlier to other people. この四つの文もがんばって！大して難しい英文ではありません！ １４：They become more active and feel happier. １５：The dogs are chosen carefully. １６：They must be quiet when they visit the older people and not jump on them. １７：The dogs` visits are short. １８：But those visits change the lives of many older people. １８の文だけ、ヒント！１４～１７にかけて、彼らの場所を訪れるワンちゃんはとってもお利口さんである。ワンちゃんが来ると老人たちは幸せな気分になるんだけど、その滞在時間は短い。 そこで１８の文でBut！ときて逆接！ワンちゃんの滞在は短いけど、多くの老人たちの生活を変えてくれているのです。

訳し方が解答を見ても分からないので、教えてください。 Older people are old when society consider them to be old. 人が老人になるのは社会が彼らを老人とみなしたときである。 この文ですが、when以下はまあいいと思いますが、 Old people are older when society consider them to be old{older} ではないのでしょうか。「人」と「老人では」この場合明らかに老人の方が年上ですから、老人にOlderをつけるべきではないのでしょうか。 また、最後はold{older}としましたが、どちらがいいのでしょうか。

訳をお願いします。 Wolves are famous and wild, dangerous and dark. They are found everywhere in folk tales. In children's stories the wolf blew down the little pigs'houses and swallowed Red Riding Hood's grandmother whole. There is legend that the wolf is the devil in disguise and ( ア ）some men become murderous werewolves when the moon is full. Poor wolves. They have done little to deserve their reputation. In biological terms, they are little more than large dogs, such close relations that they can easily breed together. All our domestic dogs are descened from wolves. Sometime, more than 15,000 years ago, wolves were domesticated and, over centuries of breeding, turned into Man's Best Friends. If there were no wolves, we would have no guide dogs or sheepdogs or retrievers, and no pet dogs. Our own distant ancestors were hunters, and competed with wolves, which were much more numerous than today. But people then probably felt they had little to fear. Wolves are shy and unlikely to attack something as dangerous as a person. Like many predators, they choose the easiest target ― old, sick or wounded animals. The native peoples of North America called them brother and sister hunters, and respected them. The change in human attitudes came when people became farmers, keeping animals in fields. Wolves soon learned to make use of this. They attacked farm animals, and gained a reputation as fearsome thieves, who must be hunted to death. Wolves,(over /to /used /wander /which) most of Europe, have disappeared completely from much of the continent. They are more numerous in North America, and believed to be around 8,000 in Alaska alone. There, these fine animals can be seen in the wild, living as they should under the open sky, and in the vast northern forests. (ア)に適当な１語と 上の(over /to /used /wander /which)の並び替えもよろしくお願いします！

The stereotypes associated with old people are particularly unpleasant. They are often regarded as sick, stupid, or even dirty. Because a minority of old people become confused, or suffer from mental disorders such as Alzhimer's disease, it is assumed that any old person is likely to become mentally incapacitated -although, in fact, the evidence is very different. Because of this, the positive contributions which older people can make to social events and processes are often overlooked, or simply ignored. Recently, a number of organizations and individuals have begun to challenge these stereotypes about ageing, and there is some indication that attitudes are beginning to change. But there is still a long way to go. Insight The negative view that we have of old people is like other stereotypes, having a small grain of truth in some cases but a lot of exceptions. Interestingly , although old people also share this negative stereotype, they almost always see themselves as one of the exceptions. So who is left to fit the stereotype? RETIREMENT AND RESPONSIBILITY Some people who reach reach retiring age, though, still hold to the old negative ideas about retirement. Sometimes they feel that society has simply thrown them away, even though they are as fit as ever. But sometimes they interpret any aches and pains as being evidence that they are becoming old and useless, so they stop doing activities which would help them to keep fit. Anyone will grow infirm if they do nothing all day but sit in the house and watch TV- muscles need exercise to keep toned, and a healthy retirement means an active one. Also, feeling socially useless is a major source of stress and helplessness. Without another source of self-esteem, such as a hobby or voluntary work, people can become extremely depressed, and appear to give up on active living.

suggestible=被暗示性、という心理学用語ですm(_ _)m We are suggestible,ready to take ideas from others and make them our own. Suggestbility descnbes why people believe something that never happened. They become convinced because they are told about an event. They see it in movies,and they hear about it. So they combine theae thoughts into false memories―――but not real ones. Psychologists believe that many childｈｏｏｄ memories are created by parents for their children. They tell the child that something happened: "Remember when we went to the seaehore？' And the child collects beach and vacation ideas into a memory. Propaganda is delibetately telling people ideas that you went them to believe. Advertising is another form of suggesting to people,and people of all ages tend to believe advertising. All of us are suggestible; children are particularly so.

Americans worship youth. To look at any magazine or advertisement, you'd think that no one over 50 lived in America. Likewise, most of the popular literature, films and television shows have to do with the lives of young people. No one wants to see, hear, read or think about old age. As a result, older people are virtually ignored. Lack of interest in the elderly takes many forms. Social welfare programs and medical care for older people are woefully inadequate. The proof of this is that some of America's older population live below the poverty line, surviving on dog food and scraps from garbage cans. More and more of them can no longer afford housing and live on the street. Those who have enough money to be comfortable when they retire, often live lonely lives in retirement communities or nursing homes where they are forgotten by the younger members of their families. One reason Americans are so reluctant to have the elderly around is because they've been taught to see people in terms of productivity. An older person who can no longer go to work is seen as unproductive and therefore useless. Also, America has become a country of nuclear, rather than extended families. When both the husband and wife work, no one can afford to stay home and care for an elderly person. This issue that Americans are overlooking when they overlook the elderly is that everyone gets old. Old age is just another, equally important stage of life. By shutting the elderly out of our lives, we are refusing to learn from their experiences, refusing to learn about ourselves. ・1段落2文目、“To look at～”を節に←節にする、が良く分かりませんでした。 ・“Likewise”は何と「同様に」と述べている? →自分はany magazine or advertisementとしました。 ・2段落3文目“The proof of this～”のthisとは? →高齢者のための社会福祉政策や医療がひどく不十分であること、としました。 ・3段落半ばの“Also”は何について「2つめ」を述べているか? →アメリカ人が高齢者をあまり受け入れたがらない(?)理由(について)、としました。言いたいことは何となく分かるのですが… お願いします。

When I'm free, I usually read books or comics. It's because when I read them, I can feel as if I were in the world of them. For example, when characters fight against enemy in a story, I fight, too. When they feel sad, I feel so. Books and comics take me to various world and they are always exciting and surprising. Also, books and comics tell me many things.

The French are not the only people to eat snails. Italians and Spaniards also enjoy them. In fact, at one time the French considered snails to be a typically Italian dish. It is possible that the custom of eating snails entered France from Italy. Even so, France is now considered the home of snail cuisine. The large snails found in the vineyards of the Burgundy region are considered the tastiest. The snails are usually seasoned with garlic butter and parsley, and sold in their shells. You may purchase one or two dozen, take them home, pop them in the oven, and eat them when the butter melts. They are starters for an evening meal. The French do not eat snails all year round. They are eaten at home mainly at festive times such as Christmas, New Year's Eve, and other special occasions. They are also eaten with a sumptuous meal in a restaurant. Snails are, of course, available throughout the year. What is funny is that you have to buy them from fishmongers. Frogs' legs are also a favorite dish of the French. They say "eat frogs' legs", not "eat frogs". This is probably because they eat only the hind legs and the white flesh on the back. Just like snails, frogs are seasoned with garlic and parsley, and so they are easily cooked. However, you now have much less opportunity to eat frogs. The reason is clear: they have become very expensive. Oddly enough, frogs have also been sold at fish shops since long ago.

Close-up Life Expectancy: How Long Is Long? “There are groups of mountain people in the Soviet Union, India and Ecuador who claim to love very long lives. Some people say they’re 125 years old and going strong. “Robert R. Kohn, professor of pathology at Case Western University, says the claims aren’t true. “’They have every reason to claim old age-economic reasons, status reasons-and there are no records to back up the claims, ‘says Kohn. “While in the Soviet Union for a scientific meeting. Kohn found another reason: The old people in Georgia have become such a tourist attraction that he was offered the opportunity to see them for the sum of 50 American dollars. There’s no doubt these people are old and healthy and they would be worth studying, but when you read about Ivan who’s 146 tears old and his mother’s mad at him, don’t believe it. お願いします。
