オバマは説明しなかったが、リーラ・マクドウェルはこう考えた。「彼にフード付きの上着を着せて路地を歩かせてごらん。彼が如何にバイレイシアル（二人種的）だか分かる」と、NAACPの広報副会長のマクドウェルは言った。 「アメリカで黒人だということは政治的に作ったものよ」と彼女は言った。「わたしの父は白人で、わたしは半分彼の遺伝子を受け継いでいるんだが、金を借りようと申込んだり、車売り場に足を入れたり、就職活動をしたりする時は、私を半分白人とは見ない、私を（全部）黒人と見るのよ。それと分かる特徴があれば、黒人なの。」

オバマは説明をしませんでした、しかし、レリア・マクドゥエルには考えがあります。 「彼にフード付きセーターを着せ顔を隠させなさい、そして、彼に路地を歩いて来させなさい、それから、彼がどれくらい2つの人種か見てください」と全米黒人地位向上委員会、コミュニケーション副委員長のマクドゥエルは言いました。 「この国で黒人であると言うことは政治的な構成概念です」と彼女は言いました。 「私の父が白人で、私が彼の遺伝子の半分を持っていても、私がローンの申し込みをする時、私が車売り場に入ってゆく時、私が仕事に応募する時、彼らは私を半分白人とは見ません、彼らは、私を黒人だと見るのです。あなたがそれとわかる特徴を持っていれば、あなたは黒人なのです」 ☆ <注>がありましたが、construct は「構成概念」と訳してみました。 http://eow.alc.co.jp/construct/UTF-8/

はっきりと意味がわからないので… 英語が得意な方がいましたら、この文章の訳を教えて欲しいです。 回答を頂けるととても助かります。 どうぞよろしくお願いします。 There is one positive in my life, and that is this wonderful woman I have met. She must be sent from a higher power because I don't see any reason why anyone would even be interested in me. Unbelievably, she likes me for the good I do and loves me for the rest. She doesn't judge, she always looks at the positive and for whatever reasons that I hope to understand one day, she chose me. We've been seeing each other for about 3 years now but her home is half way around the world and she just left today. I feel so alone right now.

But with this increased awareness of the Muslim , there is a lack of appreciation of the nuances within our group. The reality is that the vast majority of Muslims are secular and, like me, quite godless. We do not pray five times a day , do not read the Koran and have not spent much time inside a mosque. We only turn to Islam when a child is born , someone gets married or someone dies.

次の英文の和訳をお願いします。 I've worked with hundreds of people with troubled relationships, and practically every one of them has made the same mistake of arguing a the "truth.” This strategy never helped anyone resolve a problem. When you feel upset, you will have a tremendous urge to explain why your ideas and feelings are valid. Don't do it! You will have a tremendous urge to defend yourself and argue. Don't do it! What usually happens when you try to point out the truth to someone? When you argued and got defensive, did your spouse ever stop arguing and say, "Thank you, thank you for opening my eyes. I see now where I was so wrong?" The key to resolving an argument is often to back off and try a different approach.The bottom line is that you must never defend the "truth!" Your "truth is your enemy! When you give up the idea that you have a monopoly on the truth and you try to understand the other person's point of view, you will find that people will be much more willing to listen to you and to understand your own point of view. 長くなってしまいましたが、よろしくお願いします m(__)m
