Perhaps more importantly, the seeds of japanese culture were spread in the united states by the almost two million americans who came to japan during the occupation. While they represented only about one percent of the population, they had a tremendous influence on the american image of japan. As each of them returned to the U.S., they brought tales of life in this strange, exotic country which spread to their friends, relatives and neighbors.

恐らく、より重要なことには、日本の文化の起源は、占有の間に漆器に来たほとんど200万amアメリカ人によって結合した状態で広げられました。人口のわずか約1パーセントしか相当しなかった一方、それらは漆器のアメリカ人のイメージにすさまじい影響がありました。それらの各々が米国に返すように、それらは、友達、親類および隣人に広がる、この奇妙で新種の国の生活の物語をもたらしました。 あとはがんばれ\(*⌒0⌒)♪

おそらくより重要なことは、占領期間中、日本に来たほぼ200万人のアメリカ人によって、日本文化の種は、アメリカ合衆国に広げられたと言うことです。 彼らは、人口のわずか約1パーセントを代表するにすぎませんが、彼らはアメリカ人の日本のイメージに対する相当な影響がありました。 彼らの一人一人が米国に戻るにつれて、この見知らぬ、エキゾチックな国の物語をもたらしました、そして、その物語は、彼らの友人、親類、隣人へと広がていったのです。

    japan was no longer the quaint exotic country that the occupiers had seen, it was "japan, inc" as newspapers and weekly news magazines became flooded with information about the japanese economy and work habits, americans began to perceive the japanese as "economic animals" who cared for nothing but work, work, work. the image was that of a mass of workers, all alike, running from their rabbit hutches in the morning, stuffing them-selves into trains, disgorging into factories where they produced millions of stereos, cars and cameras, day after day, 24 hours a day. japan was seen as a floating factory in which government and bureaucratic leaders collaborated with the owners of private industry to attack and conquer american markets. the idea of collaboration between government and industry was particularly galling to the united states. the american economy had always been run with as much separation of government and private industry as possible, and anything else was seen as unfair competition. 長いですが、和訳をお願いします。

Millions of americans took up judo and karate as both art and exercise.

    the second shock was an economic shock and the direct result of a combination of american economic problem: a growing trade imbalance with japan and a dollar that had become too highly valued in the rest of the world. a package of economic policies was announced by president nixon in august that led to an immediate 10% reduction in the value of the dollar (which meant that japanese goods would be more expensive in the u.s) and a temporary 10% tax on imports. the shift in the japanese-american relationship was not only caused by the increased power of japan; america's dominant position in the world was also undergoing serious changes. the watergate scandals and the loss of the war in vietnam combined to cause the american people to lose faith in themselves and to question america's role as the leader of the western bloc. the oil crisis of 1973 added to this malaise by decreasing america's economic ability to support its overseas defense commitments. many congressmen questioned why the u.s was spending money to defend japan when it was increasingly obvious that increased japanese economic strength was one cause for the economic recession in the u.s. 長いですがよろしくお願いします!

    the nixon shocks the presidency of richard nixon can be used as a convenient starting point to mark a difficult period of adjustment to the increased power of japan. nixon's 1968 presidential election campaign had depended on strong support from the textile-producing southern states. in order to get those votes he promised to take a hard stand in favor of protectionist barriers against japanese textile imports--a promise carried out after his election. acrimonious negotiatiations between japan and the nixon administration continued for over two years and created negative feelings on both sides of the pacific. the nixon administration was also responsible for the return of okinawa and the nixon doctrine (which reduced the number of u.s. troops in asia). these two policies were in many ways beneficial to japanese,but together created doubt in the minds of many jpanese as to america's commitment to the security of japan. these doubts were increased in the summer of 1971 by the nixon shocks.

    At this time the united states was still the over-whelmingly dominant force in the relationship. japanese foreign policy was tired very closely to the Western bloc in the cold war. Not only was japanese security guaranteed by the american military, but the fledgling japanese economic miracle was dependent upon its ties to the american economy. The Amer-icanization of japan was becoming more evident every year. Major changes were bound to follow the steady increase in the strength of the japanese economy. the first japanese surplus in the balance of trade came in 1965. From that year until 1969 the U.S. and Japan maintained a relatively balanced trade. In 1969 Japan accumulated a surplus of almost one billion dollars and, with the exception of a few years in the middle of the 1970s, never looked back.The growing power of the japanese economy was forcing changes in the relationship.

    they believed that if they could teach the japanese to adopt the best of american culture and create an american democracy in asia, japan would become a better country and the world a safer place. japan was given a new constitution based, for the most part, on the american constitution which stressed local control over education and the police. Men were no longer allowed the legal right of control over their families and women were allowed to vote. the 6-3-3 educa-tion system was introduced and parents were given oversight through the PTA. Unions were formed.

    I remember a lesson I learned from my dad on a warm spring day many years ago in northern Minnesota. As we fished for tront on the Prairie River, my attention was drawn to a flight of geese heading north to their summer home in Canada. My youthful curiosity aroused, I asked my dad why the geese were flying in a "V" formation. He said geese fly in formation because they can travel up to 30 percent faster in formation than if they fly individually. Each goose was flying independently, and yet they were all flying together. The formation's structure gave them the extra speed. The formation also meant that there was always a goose that led the entire group. They also knew where they were going. They had a goalーtheir summer home in Canada. You have never heard of a flight of geese giving up and stopping in Kansas. They also reach their goal.

    できるだけ、そのままの意味でとっていただけたらと思います。 スペルミスには注意したつもりですが、それでもあったらすみません。 最初のあたりが、よく分かりませんでした。  One of the most basic needs is the need for affection. Without some contact with other human beings, we would not develop normally. The need for affection, however, does not seem to apply only to people. Studies has shown that animals, too, require love and affection. Beginning in the 1950s, psychologists Harry and Margaret Harlow carried out a series of important tests with monkeys, pointing out the   affectional needs of animals.  The Harlows stumbled on their first finding by accident. Trying to produce a group of young monkeys completely free from disease, they isolated each of 56 infants in a wire cage shortly after birth. The infant monkeys could see and hear the other monkeys, but they could not engage in any physical contact with one another. Now were the infants“mothered”, as monkeys usually are after they are born.  In a sense, the researchers achieved their goal. The animals were indeed physically healthy. However, they gradually showed sigh of severe emotional disturbance. They would sit in a corner for hours just staring into space. Some held their heads tightly in their hands and rocked back and forth. Others, when approached, would fly into attacks of rage, tearing at themselves with such force that they sometimes needed medical care.  When the female “motherless” monkeys themselves became mothers, they still displayed abnormal behavior. They ignored their offspring and sometimes even attacked them brutally. Some of the infants had to be removed  from the cages because of the mothers´ refusal to feed them. In fact, had these infants not been raised in a laboratory environment, they would probably not have survived. The role of contact with others cannot be stressed enough. It seems that from almost the moment of birth, we need contact with others to adjust properly. 以上になります。
