ロンドン中心部のベーカーストリート駅は、ロンドンの地下鉄の忙しい乗り換え駅です。 当然、そこは常に近くのオフィスからの勤労者で混雑しています。 そこは、また、タッソー夫人の、ロンドンの世界的に有名な蝋人形館に最も近い駅なので、多くの観光客を引きつけます。 人形館の中では、俳優、歌手、政治家、歴史上の人物、多くの他の有名な人々の蝋人形を見つけることができます。 しかし、多くの人々にとって、ベーカーストリートは、たった1つの事を意味します：ベーカーストリート 221bは、世界で最も有名な架空の探偵シャーロックホームズの自宅でした。 シャーロックホームズと彼の誠実な友人ワトソン博士は、作家アーサー・コナン・ドイルによってつくられた人物でした。 ホームズとワトソンが主人公の最初の物語は、1890年代にストランド誌に発表されました。 シャーロックホームズは、詳細な観察と論理的思考のために彼の才能を用いて、犯罪とミステリーを解決しました。 ただ単に詳細に指の爪、コートの袖、シャツの袖口、靴と手の硬さを見ることによって、どんな人の職業でも言うことができると、彼は主張しました。 シャーロックホームズの物語は、非常に人気がありました。 合計で、ホームズとワトソンは、およそ60の小説と物語に登場しました。 結局、コナン・ドイルはホームズについて書くのが飽きてしまって、ホームズが事故で死ぬ物語を書きました。そして、これが最終回になることを望みました。 しかし、シャーロックホームズのファンは激怒しました。 コナン・ドイルは、とても多くの激しい苦情を受けたので、彼は、ホームズが事故では、奇跡的に死なないで、世界で最も熟練した私立探偵としての経歴を続ける、もう一つの物語を書かなければならなくなりました。 テレビや映画向けに脚色された作品ばかりでなくその本の新版が出版されて、シャーロックホームズの物語は、今日、まだ非常に人気があります。 国際シャーロックホームズ協会さえ、あります。 それは、偉大な探偵のファンのために、例えばホームズがもう少しで死にそうになったスイスの場所への訪問を含む、本に記述のある場所への旅行の様な多くの特別企画を主催します。 ベーカーストリート221b番地は、実際に存在して、今はシャーロックホームズ博物館に変えられました。 それは物語で記述される家の完全な再現です。そして、ホームズの肘掛け椅子、彼の有名な帽子、パイプと拡大鏡があります。 ホームズの家政婦のハドソン夫人の役をしている女優さえいて、訪問客を歓迎します。 たとえあなたがシャーロックホームズの物語をこれまで読んだことがないとしても、博物館への訪問はあなたにビクトリア朝のイングランドの家屋の申し分のない実例を見る機会を与えてくれます。 あなたがシャーロックホームズや博物館についてもっと知りたいと思うならば、以下のシャーロックホームズ協会のウェブサイトを訪ねる事ができます。 www.sherlock-holmes.co.uk/home.htm

cantaerbury lies about 100km southeast of london in the county of kent,and is one of england's major tourist sites. the main reason so many people gp there is too see canterbury cathedral,one of england's most famous churches and the headquarters of the anglican church. the city of canterbury played a crucial role in the history of christianity in england. the anglo-saxons,who settled in britain from the 6th century,were not originally christian. around that time,the catholic church sent many missionaries to convert these people. one of these missionaries,st.augustine,arrived near canterbury in the 6th century,and was welcomed by the local saxon king. st.augustine set up a church there that eventually became the cathedral. in the 12th century,an event occurred that changed the history of canterbury. king henry II of england became involved in a dispute with thomas a becket,the archbishop of canterbury. some knights overheard the king complaining about the archbishop. in order to win the king's favour,they murdered the archbishop in the cathedral. the archbishop's shrine at canterbury subsequently became a popular destination for pilgrims. this development gave rise to the first major work of english literature,the canterbury tales by geoffrey chaucer,who lived in the 14th century. by this time,the canterbury pilgrimages had become a popular feature of english life. some people went for religious reasons,but others went because the journer provided a welcome break from life's routines as well as a chance to meet new people. the pilgrims wouldusually gather in london before setting off on foot or on horseback on their journey,which naturally took several days. chaucer used this journey as a framework for his stories. he took a group of typical characters,and had each of them tell a story to help entertain their travelling companions as they made their journey to canterbury. through these stories,chaucer shows us that he was humourist,a philosopher and an accurate observer of human psychology. even today,we can read these stories of love,deceit,pride and ambition from the 14th century,and find the characters familiar. chaucer's genius was to create real-life characters,giving a vivid portrayal of their strengths and weaknesses. chaucer gives us a virtual snapshot of life in mediaeval england that is invaluable to our understanding of the period.

以下の文を至急翻訳お願いします！ 今週中にどうしても知りたいです。よろしくお願いします！ Ireland is a rather small country with a population of just under four million people. But in the United States, there are around 40 million people that claim to have Irish blood. There are also many people of Irish ancestry in Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. How did the Irish come to be so spread out around the world? Since joining the European Union in 1973, Ireland has become a very prosperous country. Before that, however, Ireland was always one of Europe's poorest countries. The Irish were often forced to leave their country to look for work. Many left in the middle of 19th century,when disease hit the Irish potato crop. Potatoes were the staple food of the Irish. Many were faced with the choice of either leaving their homeland or starving to death. Among those that left Ireland at this time was a man called Kennedy. He settled in Boston, the city with the largest Irish population in the U.S., where he become a saloonkeeper. His son ,Joseph,grew up to be a millionaire and U.S. ambassador to Britain. His son,John F. Kennedy, became President of the United States. Today about 40 million U.S. citizens claim Irish ancestry. Irish-Americans can boast at least three U.S Presidents: John F. Kennedy,Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Irish-Americans are very proud of their roots. Many become interested in tracing their family history,and even travel to Ireland to visit the place where their ancestors lived. Ronald Reagan,who was Irish on his father's side, made an official visit to Ireland in 1984. While he was there, he took the opportunity to visit the home of his ancestors in Country Tipperary, in central Ireland. Irish-Americans like to keep the traditions of Ireland alive. The cities with the largest Irish-American populations―Boston, New York, and Chicago―have many Irish pubs, where you can drink Guinness, Ireland's famous dark beer, and listen to live bands playing traditional music on instruments such as violins, whistles and bagpipes. The best-known day in the Irish calender is March 17th. This is St. Patrick's Day, the day that commemorates the saint who brought the Christian religion to Ireland. In these and many other cities, this day is marked by large parades, music, dancing and street parties. The national colour of Ireland is green, and so on St. Patrick's Day celebrations are bigger and noisier in North America than in Ireland itself. The Irish community in Tokyo also organizes a St. Patrick's Day parade, which goes along Omote Sando.

britain is an old country with a large store of myths and legends. many of these stories cluster around Glastonbury,a small town in the southwestern county of somerset. one such story even states that jesus visited glastonbury when he was a young boy. perhaps the most famous character associated with glastonbury is king arthur. most of the stories associated with arthur are legends,but it is likely that they were based on a real person. arthur was probably a 6th-century british military leader who fought against the anglo-saxon invaders. in the stories,however,arthur became a larger-than-life hero. according to one legend,the british people were desperately looking for a leader to protect them against the anglo-saxon invaders. merlin,a great magician,showed the people a sword buried up to its hilt in a rock. he said that the person who could pull the sword out would be king. the strongest men in the country all tried in vain. but arthur,who was just a boy,was able to pull the sword out easily,and so became king. arthur had a courageous band of followers called the knights of the round table. they were constantly going off in search of adventure. often,the aim of their quests was to find the holy grail,which,according to some interpretations,was the cup from which jesus and his disciples had drunk on the evening before jesus was killed. the legends were sometimes romantic:one tells of one of arthur'sknights,sir lencelot,having a love affair with arthur's beautiful wife,guinevere. eventually,arthur was fatally wounded in a battle. he ordered one of his knights to take his magic sword,excalibur,and throw it into the lake. as he did,an arm reached out from the middle of the lake,caught the sword and slowly pulled it under the surface. the legend says that before arthur died,three mysterious women carried him away in a boat and took him to glastonbury,where he was buried. glastonbury today attracts thousands of people who are fascinated by these ancient legends. it also attracts thousands of music lovers,who go there every june for the glastonbury festival,which began in the 1970s. it is one of the biggest and most poplar music festivals in britain,and attracts some of the world's most famous and interesting bands. music fans who go there have to be tough and dedicated,as it almost always rains heavily during the festival period.

The word “Oxbridge” may be confusing to people from outside the UK. If you look at a map of the UK, you will not find any place with this name. This is because the word is combination of Oxford and Cambridge and refers to the two ancient universities. These two universities share so many similarities that it is possible to refer to them using only one word. Both universities are made up of separate colleges: Oxford has 39 and Cambridge has31. Each student belongs to one particular college. This is where the student lives, usually for the first two years of a standard three-year university course. Most of the student’s classes also take place in the college, through large scale lectures are usually held in the large faculty buildings. Each college is independent and controls its own finances and property. The teaching system is also very similar in both universities. The basis of it is the tutorial system. Each student has his or her own personal tutor. This tutor supervises the student’s work throughout his or her time at university. Students normally see their tutor once a week in groups of two or three. During this meeting, they read out their assignments, receive criticism and guidance, and have the opportunity to discuss their work and their progress. Thames and Cambridge are built beside rivers. Oxford is on the River Thames and Cambridge on the River Cam. Neither are very large rivers, and so they carry very little commercial traffic. In the summer months, one of the student’s favourite leisure activities is to rent a punt ------a kind of small, flat-bottomed boat that is moved and steered by means of a long pole------ and spend an afternoon gliding slowly down the river. Punting usually involves stopping to visit a riverside pub or to have a picnic under the trees. There are some differences between the two universities, however. Oxford situated in the middle of four large and important cities -----London, Birmingham, Southampton and Bristol------- and so became an important commercial center. It was also the site of Britain’s first car factory: the Morris works at Cowley. Cambridge is located in the east of England in a quiet, mainly agricultural region, and is much smaller and less busy than Oxford. Because Oxford University established itself in a busy commercial center, the colleges are spread all over the city. In Cambridge, however, almost all of the colleges are built in a line with their backs to the river. Both Universities have an excellent reputation in many fields, and so it is impossible to say which is better. Cambridge has a reputation for producing gifted scientists and mathematicians. Oxford, on the other hand, seems to produce politicians. Of the last eight British prime ministers, six, including Tony Blair, were Oxford graduates.

Waiting The first and most important point in infant observation is the non-interference of the parent, usually the mother. She must refrain from initiating play or selecting which toys the child will play with. At the same time she is told to remain connected to the child and to immerse herself in his activity. As the parent empties herself of expectations, knowledge and desires in order to participate in an empathic way with her child's play, she starts feeling what he feels and merges with his emotional field. Watching In the presence of an observer, the parent watches her infant play and connects with him. When a mother speaks, what is important is not so much the content of what she says, but the subtle musical attunement to the moods and moves of the baby. The infant communicates his experience through his body, his face, his gestures, his screamings. The slightest moves on the baby's face are meaningful. The presence of the observer may allow the parent to develop awareness of her own simultaneous emotional reactions to the child's expressions and to understand her baby not through analysis, but through presence and awareness of what he does communicate of who he is and what he wants.

And from the sound of an engine on a wiretap, he can discern whether a suspect is driving a Peugeot, a Honda or a Mercedes. Van Loo is one of Europe's newest weapons in the global fight against terrorism, drug trafficking and organized crime: a blind Sherlock Holmes, whose disability allows him to spot clues sighted detectives don't see. "Being blind has forced me to develop my other senses, and my power as a detective rests in my ears," he said from his office at the Belgian Federal Police. Van Loo, who has been blind since birth, is one of six blind police officers in a pioneering unit that specializes in transcribing and analyzing wiretap recordings in criminal investigations So acute is his sense of hearing that Paul van Thielen, a director at the Belgia Federal Police, compares his powers of observation to those of a "superhero." When police eavesdrop on a terrorist suspect making a phone call, van Loo can listen to the tones dialed and immediately identify the number. From the sound of a voice echoing off of a wall, he can deduce whether a suspect is speaking from an airport lounge or a crowded restaurant. After the Belgian police recently spent hours struggling to identify a drug smuggler on a faint wiretap recording, they concluded he was Moroccan. Van Loo, who has a "library of accents" in his head, listened and deduced he was Albanian, a fact confirmed after his arrest. "I have had to train my ear to know where I am. It is a matter of survival to cross the street or get on a train," he said. Besides his keenly developed ears, van Loo is also a trained translator who speaks seven languages, including Russian and Arabic a skill that makes him indispensable, since his knowledge of accents can help him differentiate between, say, an Egyptian and a Moroccan suspect. “At first when members of the police heard that blind people were coming to work here, they laughed and told me they were a police force and not a charity," said van Thielen. "But attitudes changed when the blind officers arrived and showed their determination to work hard and be useful." A father of two, van Loo attributes his success to having parents who taught him at an early age to be independent. He recalls that as a young child, his father, a big movie fan, took him to watch movies. His father also taught him to drive a car by putting him on his lap and guiding his hands on the steering wheel. My parents accepted my blindness, which also helped me to accept it," he said. "That they did not avoid risks also helped

In writing this song, singer Scott Weiland listened to and studied poetical lyricists to learn how to free his writing from his autobiographical and "self-obsessed" nature.

Very excellent in his work and ways, and will gain renown in his own field of life Likes to feel he has a purpose He has strong forebodings which do not materialize. However he does seem ambitious to advance himself, to get a better life, or to become free of difficulties. He is interested in the attaining of intellectual knowledge and while he uses it to help others he is idle or impractical or unassertive in using it to help himself, and advances very little in life, He could be parasitic, wasteful or carried by others. For he doesn’t seem to get personal power or position despite his high intelligence. Ends up doing what others want him to, or else evading and shipping out. He has a sense of duty but doesn't like responsibility. A passive dreamy nature. He is a clever and spiritual man. He is sympathetic and imaginative. Kind and generous. But escapist, never satisfied with life and prefers to retreat or escape from the realities of it in one way or another. Thus he has a weak side to his character that may need strengthening if he is to make the most of his opportunities in life. He is mildly mediumistic and may be interested in psychic and occult subjects. An uncommon person, spiritually inclined, mystical and yet well accepted.
