Voteの意味が分かりません
ちょっと長いですが、最後の一文の意味が分からず、難渋しています。 US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was asked how long the war would last. He said that he didn't know, because the enemy got to vote. これは単に投票すると訳すとおかしくなるように思います。教えてください。

こんばんは。以下の英文について質問です。 He didn't know how he'd have got through all the homework without her, 彼女の助けなしにどうやって宿題を片付ければいいか、さっぱりわからなかったし、 「didn't know」と「he'd have got」が、なぜこういう時制になるのかよくわかりません。 1) 「彼女がいなければ、わからなかっただろう。」これは事実と反していることを言っているのに「didn't know」と仮定法にしないのはなぜなのでしょうか？ 2) 「宿題を片付ける方法」これは事実と反していることをいっていないので、仮定法にしなくてもいいように思えるのですがなぜなのでしょうか？ よろしくおねがいします！

１誤りを正しての書き直し When he said to me what is the matter with me,I said him that I have not slept well. →When he asked me what was the matter with me ,I （ ） that I had not slept. 2文意が同じになるように He said to her , "Why didn't you attend the party?" = He asked（ ）. 3話法を変えて 3-1Ken said ," What's wrong with you, Jon ?"・・・・"I have a headance," said Jon. →Ken asked Jon what was wrong wtih ( ）. Jon ( ） ( ）had a headance. 3-2He said to me ,"Let me do it ." →He asked me to let （ ） do it. 4直接・間接話法に 彼は私に「明日は忙しいから行けないよ」と昨夜言っていた 直接→Last night , he said to me ,"I won't go （ ）because I will be busy ." 間接→Last night , he told me he wouldn't go （ ）because I would be busy . よろしくお願いします

I’m a female truck driver who has one pickup and one delivery customer, so I see the same people multiple times a day. I apparently read one fella’s signals wrong and asked him to accompany me to a concert. Before I even got the whole question out he looked panicky, was shaking his head, and said, “No, thank you.” got the whole question outはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

Ｗhen I identified myself ,he said he didn't expect me to be blond , since he was looking for a fellow Jewish and then he laughed , because of all times he himself had been told he didn't look like what people expected , because he too is a blond Jewish. 文章の途中なのでわかりにくいかもしれません。 疑問に思ったのは、what people expected のところで、ここは時制を後ろにずらす必要があるのではないかなと思いました。 この部分について教えていただけると助かります。

My son, who I've always felt very close to, has started to call me by my first name. I'm 67 and he's 40. I've always tried to be there for him. I have loved being his mom. He loves to tease me, so I didn't say anything about it for a while, because I knew he would run with it, but I figured he wasn't going to stop so I asked him to please stop calling me by my first name. he would run with itはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

Several months ago my family and I pulled into our driveway in my vehicle. We noticed that there were wires pulled down underneath my husband’s vehicle. It turns out that someone cut his brake lines! I was totally freaked out and wanted to call the authorities to make a report. He vehemently refused and said it wouldn’t do any good. He was able to repair the brakes himself and didn’t want to talk about it. I wanted to talk about it but didn’t want our kids to hear for fear they may get scared. I asked him repeatedly who could have done this. He said, “Probably neighborhood kids.” I said that neighborhood kids don’t usually try to kill people! He purchased outside motion detector cameras immediately after this incident, and nothing has happened since. My husband is a quiet, mild-mannered guy (who has absolutely NO GAME—I made the first, second, and third moves!). has absolutely NO GAMEはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

My best childhood friend married a boy she met through me in high school. I am closer to her but friends with both. He smokes pot. I knew he was hiding it and told him if she asked me outright I wouldn’t lie, but I didn’t see it as my place to “tattle” on him, and I don’t personally think it’s a big deal. I still don’t, except she got busted spending a lot more on a craft hobby than they agreed upon. she got busted spending a lot more on a craft hobby than they agreed uponの意味を教えてください。よろしくお願いします

- 旅行に出かける＝begin his journey
英作文の問題集に「『仕事に疲れてしまって、翌日、彼は旅行に出かけなかった』を英作文にしなさい」という問題がありました。 正解は、As the work had tired him,he didn't begin his journey the next day. とありました。begin his journey という言い方を初めて知りました。アンカー、フェバリットの辞書で確認したのですが、載っていませんでした。begin his journey でも良いのでしょうか？ また、自分の解答は次のようにしたのですが、間違いがないでしょうか？ Because He got tired with work, he didn't go out to travel the next day.

- この英文の意味するところを教えていただけませんか．
少し長くなりますが，前文がないと意味の取りようがないと思いますので，タイプします．次に挙げる文の前に，主人公は図書館に入って，余り興味を感じないギリシャ史の本を読もうとしていたが，そのうちうとうととしだしたと言う意味合いの記述が数行に渡ってあります． When I opened my eyes there was an old man sitting there opposite me. I hadn't heard him come in and I must have looked surprised at seeing him there, because he smiled and asked if it was all right for him to sit there. He was silent for a few minutes and then he began to talk. His long thin finger pointed to the book in front of me and he said that it was interesting. Of course I didn't argue with him, even though, I didn't really agree. But it soon became clear to me that he knew a lot about Greek history, for he started to tell me things that were in that book as if he'd written it himself. [ He made it sound as if those long-dead Greeks were part of today's world.] [ ] の前までの内容は分かるのですが，[ ]の部分がどういう状況を言っているのかよく分かりません．まったく自信はないのですが，礼儀として，私のあてすっぽの解釈を申し上げます． 「彼はそれら死んで久しくなるあのギリシャ人たちが，まるでこの世の一部分であるかのように…？」 it の内容とsound の訳し方が分かりません．辞書では一応当たってみましたが．また，long-dead Greeks の意味も自身はありません．全体的にはどういう状況を表現しているのでしょう．宜しくお願いします．

ありがとうございます。前後の文脈を質問文に入れるべきでした。ここで言うenemyとは、あるかいだとイラクのゲリラ勢力のことなのです。だから、「投票」という訳がしっくり来ないんです。
