ケプラー22bと名付けられた、新しく見つかった惑星は、親となる恒星に近すぎることも遠すぎることもなく軌道を描いており、生命を維持する環境が存在するかもしれない、ほぼ50個の新たに発見された非常に地球とよく似た衛星群の増加してゆく目録の中の一つである。 The newly found planet, named Kepler-22b - is one of a growing inventory of nearly 50 newly discovered super-Earth planets orbiting neither too close nor too far from their parent stars and where conditions might exist that could support life. ... and where conditions might exist that could support life. = ... and conditions that could support life might exist there. ... and conditions---S that---関係代名詞（主格）---s （→condition） could support life---v+o might exist---V there.---M（= on the super-Earth planets） 関係代名詞の節を修飾する名詞（先行詞＝conditions）の直後において見ました。 「・・・そして、それらの地球に非常に似た惑星には、生命を維持する環境が存在するかもしれないのです。」 のように、一度切って訳してもよいと思います。 「英文解釈（interpretation）」さえ出来ていれば「英文翻訳（translation）」する必要は必ずしもないと思います。

The newly found planet, (named Kepler-22b) is one of (a growing inventory of) nearly 50 newly discovered super-Earth planets (orbiting [neither too close nor too far from their parent stars] and [where conditions might exist that could support life]). (S)＝The newly found planet, (named Kepler-22b) (V)＝is (C)＝one of (a growing inventory of) nearly 50 newly discovered super-Earth planets (形容詞句)＝＜super-Earth planets を修飾＞(orbiting [neither too close nor too far from their parent stars] and [where conditions might exist that could support life]) どこを回っている(orbiting)かという場所が2つ書かれてあります。 [neither too close nor too far from their parent stars] and [where conditions might exist that could support life] ** "at the place"が"where"の前に省略されています。結構使われる用法です。 ** 両者とも場所を表す副詞句ですが、「～のところで」と訳すより「～の距離に（で）」と訳したほうがいいでしょう。 全訳「ケプラー２２bと名付けられた新しく発見された惑星は、増加の一途をたどる５０近くもの新しく発見された巨大地球型惑星のひとつで、親星に近すぎず遠すぎない距離のところ、かつ、生命存在の可能性のある条件がひょっとすると存在するかもしれない距離で親星の周りを回っている。」

Adult diapers are set to outsell baby diapers in Japan by 2020 in just the latest example of the challenges facing a nation where more than 20 percent of the population are 65 and older. The Nikkei newspaper reports that paper companiesーDaio and Nippon paperー are expanding their "incontinence products" manufacturing facilities in preparation for an expected surge in demand. Quartz.com says the adult diaper market is growing by up to 10 percent year-on -year and rakes in $1.4 billion per year.Adult diapers can go for as much as two and half times the price of baby diapers. Japan has one of the fastest-aging populations in the industrialized world,and there are concerns about how elderly citizens reling on care will be cared for in the years ahead. In a startling reported by the Telegraph newspaper,nearly a quarter of all shoplifting arrests in Tokyo last year involved pensioners over the age of 65. More than 3320 pensioners were detained by police,eclipsing for the first time the number of teenagers detained in the same year (3195). About 70 percent of the thefts involved food,signaling the growing poverty amongst pensioners living alone in Tokyo.

Barely a month goes by without some new energy or mineral deal being struck between China and an African nation. 中国とアフリカを結び付けている新資源とミネラルの契約無しで、わずかひと月過ぎる。 （どうも全体の大意を掴めない・・・。Barely a month と a barely monthは違いますよね。） Communist China's friendly relations with Africa go back decades, to when Beijing backed newly independent states as well as liberation moements. The continent's backing was vital in getting mainland China into the United Nations in 1971. 中国とアフリカの緊密な関係は何十年にも渡る。（go back decadesがちょっと・・・） この後が訳せません。to whenというとwhen自体の品詞は何になるのでしょうか。 似たような文章で、 A lot of it comes down to where Chinese firms have their comparative advantage and these are fast-growing markets. 上記の文がありますが、この場合のwhereの働きと品詞などもちょっと訳しきれないというか・・・。 よろしくお願いいたします。

Its construction covered four centuries, approximately 1800-1400 B C, for it was constantly altered to, and nowhere else is there anything like it: an outer ciecle of stones nearly fourteen feet high, pillars that support a continuous lintel, and within it a horseshoes of ten even huger stones, set in pairs, each pair with its separate lintel. An inner circle and inner horseshoe of smaller free standing bluestones repeat the pattern of the major members. These great blocks of sand-stone, or sarsens, some of them weighing fifty tons, were dragged more than twenty miles from the chalk downs, and the bluestones were somehow transported from the mountains of West Wales. They are not merely nutural blocks of ap-proximately the right size and shape, but each was carefully dressed to fit it for its function, and the ripples of the tool-ing, where they remain, are the most delicate detail of the building.Then, the uprights taper and curve towards the top, where tenons fit into the mortices of the lintels, which are carved to form an arc of the great circle. Moreover, the sides of the lintels of the horseshoe trilithons slope slightly out-wards to correct the illution of recession, the kind of refine-ment that makes the perfection of the Parthenon. These subtleties, indeed, suggest the influence of Greece of Myceean times, as do the recently discovered carvings of bronze axeheads and a dagger on one of the stones.

They have also theorized about the causes and consequences of people's behaving in individualistic and collectivist ways and discovered that people are typically both individualists and collectivists. The best states of individual and societal health are linked to the balance between these tendencies. Many problems of modernity can be linked to too much individualism, whereas a lack of human rights can be attributed to too much collectivism. Collectivism may be initially defined as a social pattern consisting of (a ) linked individuals who see themselves as parts of one or more collectives (family, co-workers, tribe, nation); are primarily motivated by the standards of, and duties imposed by, those collectives; are willing to give priority to the goals of these collectives over their own personal goals; and emphasize their connectedness to members of these collectives. One definition (b ) linked individuals of individualism is a social pattern that consists of who view themselves as independent of collectives; are primarily motivated by their own preferences, needs, rights, and the contracts they have established with others; give priority to their personal goals over the goals of others; and emphasize rational analyses of the advantages and disadvantages of associating with others.

Something must have caused languages, even in the past and under traditional conditions, to diverge and to remain separate, in the face of all that contact. Here's how it happens. Any of us over the age of 40 has observed that languages change even over the course of just a few decades, with some words dropping out of use, new words being coined, and pronunciation shifting. For instance, whenever I revisit Germany , where I lived in 1961, young Germans notice that they have to explain to me some new German words (e.g, the new word Handi for cell phones, which didn't exist in 1961), and that I still use some old-fashioned German words that have been going out of use since 1961(e.g, jener/jene for "that/those"). But young Germans and I can still mostly understand each other well. Similarly, you American readers under the age of 40may not recognize some formerly popular English words like "ballyhoo," but incompensation you daily use the verb "to Google" and the participle "Googling" which didn't exist in my childhood.

Scientists are warning parents to avoid some infant formulas that may contain high levels of arsenic, an extremely poisonous metallic element that has been shown to cause cancer. The hazardous baby formulas are sweetened with arsenic-containing organic brown rice syrup, which some manufacturers are starting to use in place of high fructose corn syrup or other sweeteners. Many processed food products today are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. But concerns that corn syrup might be contributing to obesity has led many food manufacturers to turn to organic brown rice syrup, believing it to be a healthier alternative to the high fructose corn syrup. **Now, researchers say that brown rice syrup may be an unintended source of arsenic, a highly toxic metallic element that’s been shown to increase the risk of cancer when present in drinking water.** お世話になります。 教えて頂きたいのは**以下の日本語訳とその構造です。 よろしくお願いします。
