狐狩りの話しで使われるdrawの意味は？
- アイルランドの作家の文章で出てきた「draw」の意味がわからないとのことです。
- 「湿原近くにあるコリヤナギの林をan almost certain drawと言っているように思えます」という文脈です。

an almost certain draw
1900年頃のアイルランドの作家の文章です。狐狩りの話しですが湿原近くにあるコリヤナギの林をan almost certain drawと言っているように思えます。このdrawの意味が解りません。アドバイスよろしくお願いします。浅い乾いた谷のことでしょうか？ It was a long jog to Clonrue, over five miles:that is the beauty of Irish coverts, there are usually so few that when a fox leaves one he has a very long way to go to the next one; and there was a wood of wild osiers beyond Clonrue near the bog, an almost certain draw.

たしかに、drawは浅い渓谷等を表現することもありますが、 アイルランドでは使われないはずです。（アメリカ英語だと思います。） ここでは、 引き寄せるもの、魅了するもの、という使い方です。 「沼地の近くに柳林」を指していると思われます。

draw には draw = a shallow gully (gully = a small valley cut out by running water) という意味があります。日本語では小渓谷。bog (=swamp) と言うけれど殆ど draw のようなもの。

I was sent to have my eyes tested. He took me into the darkened interior and said, "Sit down, dear." He put his arm round my shoulder. His forefinger moved up and down on my neck. I was thirteen and didn't like to be rude to him. Dorothy Simmonds, his sister, came downstairs just then; she came upon us silently and dressed in a white overall. Before she had crossed the room to switch on a dim light Mr Simmonds removed his arm from my shoulder with such a jerk that I knew for certain he had not placed it there in innocence. Muriel SparkのThe Dark Glassesからの英文です。 Mr Simmonds removed his arm from my shoulder with such a jerk that I knew for certain he had not placed it there in innocence.のところはsuch~that構文だと思うのですが、 ●a jerkはどのように意味をとるとよいですか？ ●for certainとcertainlyは同じ意味ですか？ 使い方に何か違いはあるのでしょうか？ 前文は At the end of the thirties Leesden End was an L-shaped town.

There's been a lot of times though in the band situation where there's been some deep wounds. Like that press conference they put together in 1996, after canceling three shows. The same stuff was going on with certain members of the band, that I was doing at that time. That was that time, I'm not making an excuse for it, it was a horrible time in my life. As well there were a lot of great things going on in my life, but that part of it was miserable. But I don't think at all that there needed to be a press conference to out me publicly, that was my own business.

Perhaps she had an inkling that I saw the face behind the mask and because I alone held out was determined that sooner or later I too should take the mask for the face. I was never quite certain that she was a complete humbug. I wondered whether she fooled herself as thoroughly as she fooled the world or whether there was some spark of humour at the bottom of her heart. If there was it might be that she was attracted to me, as a pair of crooks might be attracted to one another, by the knowledge that we shared a secret that was hidden from everybody else. 上記の第１文でwas determinedの主語が分かりません。Maughamの短篇Louiseの第１パラグラフの文章です。

And there was the vast, unsuspected cataclysm of my parents’ divorce，that redrew so many boundaries，and created, with the proverbial stroke of the pen， vast new areas of confusion and dismay. And then one day I left Columbia, and discovered the bitter truth about race relations，and for a while I was inclined to view the lessons I had been taught with a certain amount of rueful anger. I felt that I had been lied to，that the map I had been handed was a forgery. And after a11，I would hear it said from time to time，Columbia had failed in its grand experiment. It had become a gardenvariety suburb in the Baltimore－Washington Corridor；there was crime there，and racial unrest.

Yes,there it was,all quivering in the warm sunshine, its blossom-laden branches almost touching the long grass. Was there ever anything so exquisitely beautiful in the world before! Its delicate blossoms shrank from the slightest earthly touch;it seemed as if a tree of paradise had been transplanted to earth. I made my way through a shower of petals to the great trunk and for one minute stood irresolute; then, putting my foot in the broad space between the forked branches,i pulled mysmyself up into the tree. 長文申し訳ないです。 よろしくおねがいします。

ゼミの資料の一部です。どうしても日本語訳がわかりません。教えてください。 these changes have been difficult to document because so far anarchist ideas have received almost no attention in the academy. There are still thousands of academic Marxists, but almost no academic anarchist. This lag is somewhat difficult to interpret. In part, no doubt, it’ because Marxism has always had a certain affinity with the academy which anarchism obviously lacked: Marxism was, after all, the only great social movement that was invented by Ph.D. Most accounts of the history of anarchism assume it was basically similar to century thinkers [Proudhon, Bakunin, Kroptkin…] that then went on to inspire working-class organizations, became enmeshed in political struggles, divided into sects…
