    この英文の和訳をお願いします(>_<) ↓ ↓ The Nobel Prizes are awarded by the Nobel Foundation for outstanding achievements or contributions in six areas. A prize is given in chemistry,physics,medicine,literature,peace and economics. Often a prize is awarded to just one person,but not always. It my be awarded to two or more people who have worked together to reach a goal. Since the Nobel Prizes are international prizes,scientists,inventors,writers,and politicians from any country may receive a prize. Sometimes,two people from countries with different political views may even share a prize. It is also sometimes the case that a prize is not given. If there is no outstanding achievement in any of the six areas,noprize is given in that area.

    この英文の和訳お願いします(>_<) ↓ ↓ Someone must decide whether or not to give an award. The process of nominating and choosing Nobel Prize winners has two parts. First,nominations of people who might deserve a Nobel Prize are made. The nominations in physics,chemistry and economics are made by the Royal Academy of Science in Stockholm. The nominations in medicine are made ay the Caroline Medical Institute,which is also in Stockholm. The Swedish Academy both makes nominations in literature and receives them from experts and other academies such as those of France and Spain. The Peace Prize nominations are made by a committee of the Norwegian government. Many nominations are made in each area. Nominations from these groups begin the process of choosing the Nobel Prize winners. The second part of the process of choosing Nobel Prize winners is to decide which of the nominated people deserves the award in each area. This decision is made by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. The winners of Nobel Prizes are honored for their great achievements and are rewarded both by fame and by money for their contribution to human life. A Nober Prize is one of the highest honors any scientist,politician,or writer can ever receive.

    Since Hideki Yukawa in 1949, a total of 16 Japanese nationals have been named recipients of Nobel Prizes. In 2010, when the most recent Japanese winners were announced to receive p rizes for chemistry, NHK interrupted its scheduled programming with a nyuusu sokuho (breaking news) announcement. On Sept. 29, Shiga University associate professor Makoto Imai and six colleagues marched onto the stage at Harvard’s Sanders Theater to receive a so-called Ig Nobel Prize for chemistry. The award was bestowed in recognition of “determining the ideal density of airborne wasabi (pungent horseradish) to awaken sleeping people in case of a fire or other emergency, and for applying this knowledge to invent the wasabi alarm.” The Ig Nobel Prizes date back to 1991, when Marc Abrahams, editor of a Harvard-based publication, The Annals of Improbable Research, organized an event to bestow recognition on scientists, inventors and others whose sometimes outrageously wacky research efforts “first make people laugh, and then make them think.”

    “Ignoble” — a word obviously chosen for its resemblance to Nobel — is defined in the dictionary as “1) completely lacking nobility in character or quality or purpose” and “2) of humble birth or origins.” With this year’s award, Japanese researchers have received “Igs” for five straight years. In the entire 21-year history of the Ig Nobel awards, Japanese have taken 15 prizes. One of Japan’s most famous winners was Daisuke Inoue, the man credited with inventing karaoke, who traveled to Harvard to receive an Ig Nobel Peace Prize. Instead of a rambling acceptance speech, Inoue belted out the New Seekers’ 1971 hit “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing” — earning him “the longest standing ovation the Ig Nobels had ever seen,” according to Abrahams.

  • 前置詞 of の以下の用法について教えてください

    次のpassageは高校英語検定教科書 Crown English Reading (New Edition)の第11課 ’Plenty of Room at the Bottom’ の本文冒頭の2つのparagraphです。 On December 29, 1959, Richard P. Feynman, a Nobel Prize winner in physics, made an epoch-making speech, the title of which was “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom.” In his speech, Feynman speculated on the possibility of exploring the world that exists “down at the bottom,” i.e., the world of atoms and molecules. He cautioned that he was not talking about miniaturization of, say, electric motors that are the size of the nail on your little finger, but rather a “staggeringly small world that is below.” He further predicted that in the future we would be able to make machines as small as molecules. Feynman’s ideas seemed strange at the time he made his speech in 1959, but today he is thought to be the father of nanotechnology, which is on the cutting edge of modern science. What is nanotechnology? What impact will it have on our lives? 私の疑問は第1段落の第3文: He cautioned that he was not talking about miniaturization of, say, electric motors that are the size of the nail on your little finger, but rather a “staggeringly small world that is below.” の…miniaturization of, say, electric motors…のofの用法についてです。 このofの用法は辞書に取り上げられるofの用法・分類ではどれにあたるのでしょうか? 《以下に補足します》 私は件の文全体の意味を 「彼は、(   )をしているのではない、と注意を促した。」 としたとき、( )内を以下のように考えました。 (1-a) 例えば、小指のつめの大きさの電気モーターのようなものの極小化の話 (1-b) 例えば、小指のつめの大きさの電気モーターのようなものを極小化する話 つまり、ofは目的格のofと考えたわけです。 ところが、このFeynmanの講演に関わると思われる文章を読んでみると、どうも上の私の最初の解釈は誤っているように思いました。該当箇所に近い部分を引用します。 What I want to talk about is the problem of manipulating and controlling things on a small scale. As soon as I mention this, people tell me about miniaturization, and how far it has progressed today. They tell me about electric motors that are the size of the nail on your small finger. And there is a device on the market, they tell me, by which you can write the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin. But that's nothing; that's the most primitive, halting step in the direction I intend to discuss. It is a staggeringly small world that is below. In the year 2000, when they look back at this age, they will wonder why it was not until the year 1960 that anybody began seriously to move in this direction. (http://www.thenanoage.com/plenty-of-room-at-the-bottom.htm の第3、第4段落です) この部分を読んで私は、件の箇所を次のように解釈をしました。 (2-a) 例えば、小指のつめの大きさの電気モーターのように物を極小化することの話 (2-b) 例えば、小指のつめの大きさの電気モーターといった物の極小化の話   ただ、仮にこの(2)の解釈が大方間違っていないにしても、私にはこのofの用法がよくわからないのです。 いわゆる同格のofなのでしょうか? いくつか英和辞書を引きましたが、同格ofの用例は以下のように全て前の名詞に定冠詞theが付いていました。 the town of Shibuya (渋谷の町) a man by the name of Bill (ビルという名の男) the problem of population [not getting enough sleep] (人口[十分睡眠が取れないという]問題) (以上用例は『ウィズダム英和辞典』から) 同格のofという解釈にも無理があるのでしょうか? 結局よくわかりません。 最初に引用した件のofの用法についてご教示ください。よろしくお願いいたします。
