We Thoughtlessly Regard Dogs and Dolphins as Clever Animals

このQ&Aのポイント
  • We tend to think that dogs and dolphins are clever animals, but this belief is not based on scientific criteria. It is likely that we perceive them as clever because they obey our commands.
  • In contrast, our human intelligence is evaluated scientifically through various exams. However, to achieve good scores, it is also important to understand the intention behind the questions.
  • The term 'objective' in English, which corresponds to '客観的' in Japanese, can be understood as 'scientific'. It is noteworthy that 'objective' is the opposite of 'subjective', which means '主観的'.

'10年京大前期の英作文の問題の添削をお願いします。 問題は画像で添付いたしましたので、そちらを参照ください。 We thoughtlessly regard dogs and dolphins as clever animals. However, this estimation is not based on the scientific criteria. Probably, we just think such animals cleaver because they follow our orders. On the other hand, our human ability is scientifically judged by the several exams; but in order to get good points, it is also essential to follow the question’s intentions in earnest. 「客観的」に該当する英語が分からなかったので「科学的」と読み変えました。 objectiveとか簡単にcoldと言うようですね。 主観的⇔客観的:subjective⇔objectiveで覚えておきます。

日本語の画像はありませんでしたが、一読して英文のスタイルを判断しましょう。 We thoughtlessly regard dogs and dolphins as clever animals. ** clever→intelligentかなと想像します。 However, this estimation is not based on the scientific criteria. ** estimaation が浮かべばたいしたもの Probably, we just think such animals cleaver because they follow our orders. ** 言うことなし On the other hand, our human ability is scientifically judged by the several exams; ** the several exams→the不要(theをつけたらこの文章を読んでいる人間みなどのテストか分かるということになります。) ** abilityの類語"competence"も覚えるべきでしょう。 ** 日本文がないから推測します。scientificallyは「数字で」の方が意味的には正確かも? but in order to get good points, it is also essential to follow the question's intentions in earnest. ** いい点数=good test scores; good marks; good grades(pointは単位を無視して使う場合が多い) follow the question's intentions in earnest ** 日本文がないから推測します。「質問の意図を読み取る」ですかね。もしそうなら、 ** in earnest 真剣に←→真剣でない の対立語;この語は必要なのかどうか分かりません。 ** read the intent(ion[s]) of the question[s] すらすらこの程度の英文を常時作ることができれば、いいと思いますよ。細部は色々ありますが、非常にいいできだと思います。 ●日本語なしは問題外ですが、画像の日本文はコピペができませんので、タイプしてもらった方が回答者としては助かります。Good luck! Good night!

補足

添削ありがとうございます。 画像添付したつもりが、出来ていませんでした(~_~;)すみません。 問題は以下の通りです。 私たちは漠然と犬やイルカを賢いと思っている、動物の賢さを図る客観的な基準に基づいてそう判断しているわけではない。そういった動物の場合、人間の命令によく従うほど、頭が良いように見えるだけではないだろうか。人間の場合には種々のいわゆる客観テストなるものがあるが、それも結局、出題者の指示によく従うことが高得点に結びついているのかもしれない。 また、ご参照ください。

    H19年前期の英作文の問題の添削をお願いします。 問題  教育とは何かと考えるときに、私が決まって思い出すのが小学校の恩師の顔である。先生は、私たち生徒に、物事に真剣に取り組むことを教えてくださった。その教えは、これまでの私の人生の指針となっている。今から考えると、先生の教えが私の心に響いたのは、先生の尊敬できる誠実な人柄によるところが大きかったように思う。教育において考慮すべきことは、教える内容だけではなく、教える側の人間性でもあるのだ。 [辞書不使用] When I think about what education is, I always think of my primary school teacher. She taught us the importance of doing a thing seriously. Her lesson has been a basic concept in my life. Now I think that it is probably because of her honest personality to respect that I still remember it. As to education, we should take into consideration the teachers' personalities as well as the taught contents. [辞書使用] *[ ]で括った表現が辞書を使った箇所です。 *括っていないところで表現が上と異なる場合は、辞書は使っていません。 Every time I think about what education is, I remember my teacher at primary school.

[Looking back], his lesson has got my heart mainly because he was so as [sincere] to respect.

    今、アカデミックライティングというものを学んでいる大学生です。以下の和文を英訳してみたので、よかったら、添削と講評をしていただけないでしょうか。具体的な講評をお願いします。 心理カウンセラーを40年やってきて、「人間の心ほど移ろいやすいものはない」との思いと、「人間ほど一度思い込むとこれほど頑固なものはない」との想いの両方がある。心を柔らかく持ち、いい加減な自分を肯定したいものである。 In my experience of being a psychotherapist for 40 years, I have held opposite feelings: Nothing is more inconstant than the mind of men, and more persistent in what one once believes than the nature of them. Then, condition of our flexible mind and recognition of our susceptible one, we really need. My forty year career of a psychotherapist have given me the realization that our mind is the most influenced by the inner or the outer, whereas our spirit is the most likely to assume one thing endlessly. Therefore it is really necessary for us to smelt our iron mind, which sometimes is like clay, and to accept it.

    英語でスピーチをする予定があり、原稿を作ったのですが、文法や自然な表現に自信がないので、長文ですが添削をお願いします!^^ Are you happy? Of course there are many happy, enjoyable things. Sports, movies, shopping, and so forth. However, there are also many unhappy, depressive things. Do you surely think you are really happy? Today, the world is facing many serious problems. Discrimination, poverty, war, and so forth. However, we Japanese don’t have such serious problems. We were born in blessed, rich land, Japan. We can eat, buy what we want, and …..live. Then, what are the problems? Big one of the problems Japan facing is a problem of stress. I also suffer from the stress. “One pair of half pants is called pajamas”. “I’m called a Yankee because my hair is gold.” I’ll move on my topic. There are many stress. Human relationships, anxiety, a sense of inferiority, the number of stress is limitless. Because of these stress, many people cannot imagine bright future, only suffer from stress. If we suffer from stress, we cannot concentrate enjoyable things, and enjoy our lives. Stress has influence on not only our mind, but also our body. You can imagine depression as mental disease, difficult breathing, circulatory system and digestive system. To know these effects, perhaps you know how serious stress is. By the way, have you think of any solutions for stress? As I said before, there are many kind of stress, and those causes are also different. But I declare one cause of stress is broadcasting. This linkage is seemed unrealistic. However, media make us imagine there are full of sad accidents, crimes, disease and so on. We live in dark world. Why do we believe that? This is because we watch a number of news, broadcasting sad and dark things. Our brains believe the world we live is dark, not bright unconsciously. Of course there are not only dark ones, but also bright ones, but media focus on dark ones more easily, than bright ones. As I take one example, news about bullying. This news is broadcasted many times, and gathers much attention. That’s why our brains believe the world is full of sadness, hopeless. And we easily feel depression and suffer from stress. Then, how can we save ourselves? How can we release stress? Which way is the best way to solve the problem? Excluding the cause of stress? Or Changing society itself creating stress? Banning broadcasting dark news? All of them are not seemed effective way to solve it. Do we have to endure stress or deceive ourselves? We don’t suffer from stress. I’m OK. I’m OK. I’m happy No way. I refuse to do that. All we have to do is to deceive our brains. We have two simple choices to do. 1st is to look into just bright future. If we do that, our brains recognize only bright future without thinking and we think in a positive way. However, this way is not a perfect way. Some really suffer from stress and cannot look into bright future. Then, I will introduce 2nd way. 2nd is to appreciate 3 things every day and write down them. For example, I live with my aunt and she takes care of me. Now, I write down three things. 1st, “my aunt cooks a meal for me.” Thank to that, I keep my health and eat delicious food. 2nd, “every morning, my aunt sends me to the station.” That’s why I can save my time in the morning and sleep more. 3rd, “on my birthday, my aunt give me 1000 yen.” 1000 yen is not a little money!! To continue this, your brains will believe there are full of many happy, bright, fine things. We live in a happy world. Some of you think why this is beneficial for you? Yes. I’ll explain it. By getting this thought, positive way to look into your future, you suffer from less and less stress, and are released from stress. This is totally enough. And, the effect is not only reducing stress. Please don’t be surprised. By released from stress, your brains work well as 30%. You will not have trouble to studying. You will be able to get degree more easily. Good! If you got this thought, your future would be bright. I hope you will get bright future.
