英語訳がとれません(drive)

この文の訳と構文がとれません。助けて下さい。 "Historians see history as being driven by a combination of cumulative longーterm trends and short to mid-term cycles, each of which cotains the seeds of a subsequeut but familiar situation." 自分なりに訳してみると、 歴史家は歴史を、このように見る。→長い期間累積的に見た傾向や、短期間、中期間のサイクル、それぞれが持つ将来起こりうることの芽によって(drive) よくわからない日本語になってしまいました。 But familiar situation のbutって何て訳しますか? このeach of whichのeachはshort-term と mid-termを指すのでしょうか?

, each of which ... はちょうど少し前に質問されている of which と同じパターンです。 前に出てくる複数のものを them と受けたとして,その them の代わりに which にしています。 ここでは (a combination of) cumulative long-term trends and short to mid-term cycles に対して,each of which「それらのそれぞれは」    歴史家は,歴史を,累積的な長期の傾向と短から中期の循環の組み合わせによって動かされる とみなしている。 そして,それぞれは後に起こることだがなじみのある場面のたねを含んでいる。 コンマつきの関係代名詞はコンマでいったん切るというのが常套ですが, 実はそうすると,本来の英語の関係が切れてしまう恐れはあります。 コンマがあるとはいえ,each of which ... 以下はあくまでも先行詞についての説明です。 a (subsequent) but (familiar) situation 形容詞同志を but でつなぎ,ともに名詞にかかっています。 時間の流れ上,後にくることだが,循環しているのでなじみがある。

    But it is also possible( and useful) to think of this process in terms of a structure produced and sustained through the articulation of linked but distinctive moments - production, circulation, distribution/consumption, reproduction. This would be to think of the process as a 'complex structure in dominance', sustained through the articulation of connected practices, each of which, however, retains its distinctiveness and has its own specific modaliry, its own forms and conditions of existence. This second approach, homologous to that which forms the skeleton of commodity production offered in Marx's Grundrisse and in Capital, has the added advantage of bringing out more sharply how a continuous circuit-production-distribution-production - can be sustained through a 'passage of forms'. 和訳をお願いします。

    The view of the world below from the top of a mountain on a sunny day is very clear. We can easily identify the surrounding mountains, the valleys and rivers,the towns, farms and forests. The historian who writes of the distant past can view that world from which historians of the modern era can look over the recent past. Indeed, they often feel like a man lost in the forest: he can see the trees, but not the forest as a whole. すみません><おねがいしますm(__)m

    Research projicts follow the trends of their times, and life span psychology has developed as the post-war baby boom generation has matured. The current wave of research into ageing and care of the elderlu, for example, can be seen as directly resulting from that generation reaching retirement age. LIFE-TRANSITIONS Gould(1978) developed the idea that adult life consists of a series of transitions, or life changes, which occur ar different times in our lives. The first of these is that of adjusting to the responsibilities of being independent and living away from parental care. Looking after ourselves without someone in the background is quite different from the kinf of independence which occurs when living as part of family group, where there is always someone to fall back on, or to look after you if you become ill. This transition, Gould argued takes place usually between the ages of 16 and 22. Then there is another transition, which takes place during our twenties, in which we develop our own competences and autonomy, and choose our rulus to live by, rather than simply conforming to our parents' rules and principles. A third transition, according to Gould, happens between 28 and 34, as we come to know ourselves better, and learn to come to terms with aspects of our nature which we weren't really aware of before. And the final transition involves accepting that life isn't going to last for ever━that is, developing a sence of our own mortality. This final transition, Gould argued, happens between the ages of 35 and 45.

    Firepower could conserve infantry but a battle of material prolonged the war and consumed the troops which were preserved in each battle. In 1915 and early 1916, German industry quintupled the output of heavy artillery and doubled the production of super-heavy artillery. French production had also recovered since 1914 and by February 1916, the army had 3,500 heavy guns. In May 1916, Joffre implemented a plan to issue each division with two groups of 155  mm guns and each corps with four groups of long-range guns. Both sides at Verdun had the means to fire huge numbers of heavy shells to suppress defences, before risking infantry movements. At the end of May, the Germans had 1,730 heavy guns at Verdun against 548 French, which were sufficient to contain the Germans but not enough for a counter-offensive.

    Americans were formerly often ridiculed by Europeans for tasking perfectly grand names and using them for ridiculously insignificant places. A settlement with only two or three log cabins and perhaps a tavern might be called London;two houses in sight of each other and wit a swamp between them might be Rome This tendency on the part of frontiersmen to help themselves to the best names possible accounts for our use of Capitol for the building at Washington, D.C., in which Congress meets, and for the house in which the legislature of a state holds its sessions. In October, 1698, the building in which the governmental affairs of the Virginia colony were carried on burned. The governor and his council decides to transfer the seat of government to a little village known then as Middle Plantation, the present Williamsburg, not far from Jamestown. They specified that a square of land, 475 feet on a side, should be set aside for the building they planned to erect. And they enacted that "the said building shall forever be called and known by the name of the Capitol." Up to this time Capitol had never been used in English except as the name of the great national temple at Rome, dedicated to Jupiter Optimus Maximus(that is, the "Best and Greatest"), the mighty national god of the Romans A critic took the governor severely to task for having "graced" this brick house in the wilderness "with the magnificent name of the Capitol," but the "magnificent name" has done well in this new use. It has spread over the entire country. It has only one competitor. Statehouse,another American coinage, sometimes tasks its place when a state Capitol is meant.

    Have you ever seen the fossils of dinosaurs in a museum?Some are gigantic and horrible and some are small and pretty.If dinosaurs ( (1)) today, the world would get into a total panic.Of course we know that they disappeard from the Earth about 65 million years ago.But wouldn`t you be surprised to hear that their descendants still exist today?Dinosaurs are reptiles that existed in ancient times.Today,reptiles can be found all over the world.For example,lizards,snakes,alligators and turtles are all reptiles.So, are these animals the direct descendants of dinosaurs?Some scientists say it`s actually birds that are the descendants of dinosaurs.This may seem unbelievable, because birds have feathers,wings and most of them can fly.These characteristics seem completely different from those of dinosaurs. But if you have seen the fossil of an ancient bird called the archaeopteryx , you may have noticed some similarities in form between the archaeopteryx and some dinosaurs.Recently,dinosaur fossils which share many properties with birds have been found(another/after/one). Some of them are said to have had feathers on thier body, In view of this evidence, more and more scientists have come to think that birds have evolved from dinosaurs of some kind. If dinosaurs hadn`t existed, there wouldn`t be any birds today. It`s a real surprise that two animals that look so different are so closely related to each other.
