日本の領土保護のための尖閣諸島購入に関する疑問
- 質問者は、「protecting Japanese territory」と「an apparent reference to China's claim to the islands」の関係がわからないと述べています。また、文中に「and」がないため、並列関係ではないと推測しています。形容詞句や副詞句の可能性も考えられますが、文法的な解釈が難しいです。
- 質問者は、考えられる解釈として、「protecting～が分詞構文で挿入されているのかもしれないが、それなら前にコンマがあるはずだし」と述べています。
- 上記の文章は、石原都知事が尖閣諸島を購入することで日本の領土保護を目指していることを示しています。また、この表現は、中国の尖閣諸島への主張に対する明確な言及と解釈されています。

Ishimara said Monday local time that the purchase is aimed at protecting Japanese territory,an apparent reference to China's claim to the islands. この文章のprotecting Japanese territoryとan apparentreference～の関係が分かりません。 andがないから並列ではないですよね。protecting～が分詞構文で挿入されているのかなとも考えましたがそれなら前にコンマがつきそうだし。 いろいろ考えたのですがわかりませんでした。ちなみに出典はJapan timesです。 内容は石原都知事の尖閣諸島購入についてです。 よろしくお願いします。

石原都知事はこの前の月曜日，現地（日本）時間で，言った。 この（尖閣諸島の）購入は日本の領土を保護することを目的としている。 protecting は aimed at ～の at という前置詞とつながります。 「～を目指している」 そして，コンマの後は名詞のかたまり。 こういうコンマ，名詞は前の言い換えということが多いです。 もちろん，前に名詞があって，その言い換えということもありますが， 文的な内容についての言い換え（#2 の方が「要約」と言っているのも同じことです） ということもあります。 こういう彼の領土保護という表現を出すのは， 明らかに，中国の尖閣諸島への領有主張について言及しているのだ。 領土保護という，保護という以上，何か日本の領有を脅かすものがある， と言っているのと同じ，すなわち，「中国が主張している」 このことの言及・指摘に他ならない。 この（尖閣諸島の）購入は日本の領土を保護することを目的としている。 保護ということで，中国が領有権を主張していることを暗に言いたいのは明らかだ。

What would you do if you had two hours to invest five dollars? In an experiment, teams received an envelope with five dollars and were told they could spend as much time as they wanted planning. However, once they opened the envelope,the y had two hours to generate as much money as possible. She gave them from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday evening to complete the assignment. Then, on Monday afternoon each team had three minutes to present their plans to the class. They were encouraged to be entrepreneurial by identifying opportunities, challenging assumptions, leaveraging the limited resources they had, and by being creative. What would do if you were faced with this challenge? Would you go to Las Vegas or would you buy a lottery ticket? There may be significant risk with a small chance of winning. Another idea is to set up a car wash or lemonade stand, using the five dollars to purchase the start-up materials. But most of her students eventually found a way to go far beyond the standard responses. They seriously challenged traditional assumptions–exposing a wealth of possibilities–in order to create as much value as possible.

Territorial claims The Japanese claim to Shantung was disputed by the Chinese. In 1914 at the outset of World War I Japan had seized the territory granted to Germany in 1897. They also seized the German islands in the Pacific north of the equator. In 1917, Japan had made secret agreements with Britain, France, and Italy that guaranteed their annexation of these territories. With Britain, there was a mutual agreement, Japan also agreeing to support British annexation of the Pacific islands south of the equator. Despite a generally pro-Chinese view on behalf of the American delegation, Article 156 of the Treaty of Versailles transferred German concessions in Jiaozhou Bay, China to Japan rather than returning sovereign authority to China. The leader of the Chinese delegation, Lou Tseng-Tsiang, demanded that a reservation be inserted before he would sign the treaty. The reservation was denied, and the treaty was signed by all the delegations except that of China. Chinese outrage over this provision led to demonstrations known as the May Fourth Movement. The Pacific islands north of the equator became a class C mandate administered by Japan.Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos took part in the Paris Peace Conference as Greece's chief representative. President Woodrow Wilson was said to have placed Venizelos first in point of personal ability among all delegates gathered in Paris to settle the terms of Peace. Venizelos proposed the Greek expansion on Thrace and Asia Minor (lands of the defeated Kingdom of Bulgaria and Ottoman Empire), Northern Epirus, Imvros and Tenedos, aiming to the realization of the Megali Idea. He also reached an agreement with the Italians on the cession of the Dodecanese (Venizelos–Tittoni agreement). For the Greeks of Pontus he proposed a common Pontic-Armenian State. As a liberal politician, Venizelos was a strong supporter of the Fourteen Points and of the League of Nations. Chinese approach The Chinese delegation was led by Lou Tseng-Tsiang, accompanied by Wellington Koo and Cao Rulin. Before the Western powers, Koo demanded that Germany's concessions on Shandong be returned to China. He further called for an end to imperialist institutions such as extraterritoriality, legation guards, and foreign leaseholds. Despite American support and the ostensible spirit of self-determination, the Western powers refused his claims, transferring the German concessions to Japan instead. This sparked widespread student protests in China on 4 May, later known as the May Fourth Movement, eventually pressuring the government into refusing to sign the Treaty of Versailles. Thus the Chinese delegation at the Paris Peace Conference was the only one not to sign the treaty at the signing ceremony.

Consider establishing SDF garrison on Senkaku isles: LDP's Ishihara Washington AFP-JIJI Japan should consider deploying Self-Defense Forces units to islands it controls but claimed by China to counter Beijing's growing assertiveness, a liberal Democratic Party leader said while on a visit to the United States. Nobuteru Ishihara, sometimes seen as a future prime minister if the LDP returns to power, said Monday that Tokyo should also look more broadly at stepping up defense spending in the face of a rising China. Japan officially regards the Senkaku Islands as under the jurisdiction of Okinawa. Beijing claims the islets, which are known in China as Diaoyu. Last year a run-in involving a Chinese trawler and Japan Coast Guard boats trying to shoo the vessel away from the area led to a further souring of relations. Ishihara, secretary general of the conservative party, said Japan should move "quickly" to put the islands under public Ishihara, of the conservative party, said Japan should move "quickly" to put the islands under public control. Tokyo considers most of the area to be privately owned by Japanese citizens. "Following this change, a port should be developed where fishing boats may take refuge," Ishihara said at the Hudson Institute, a Washington think tank. "I further believe that we must seriously begin contemplating the establishment of a permanent post for the Self-Defense Forces in this area" he said. Japan said in 2008 that it had reached kn agreement with China for joint drilling of potentially lucrative gas fields near the disputed islands. But the deal has gone nowhere, with China saying its stance has not changed. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's Democratic Party of Japan has mostly sought smooth ties with China, which says its growing military spending is for peaceful purposes. Noda asked Chinese President HC Jintao for progress on the 2008 deal during talks last month on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific summit in Hawaii, although Japanese officials said Hu was noncommittal. But Ishihara said China has become "assertive, one may even say aggressive" in recent years and pointed to its actions in separate maritime disputes with the Philippines, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian nations, "Emboldened by its new economic weight and growing military might, China's proclamations of its 'peaceful rise' appear more and more at odds with the emerging reality," he said. Ishiara, leading a delegation from his party, was in Washing- ton partly to ease concerns over the opposition's stance on the Trans-Pacific Partnership free- trade pact championed by President Barack Obama. Noda announced last month that Japan will enter the TPP talks but has faced strong opposition from farmers worried about foreign competition and threats of strong resistance by LDP lawmakers who consider the farm industry as a key political base. Ishihara said discussions on the TPP are "at the starting line" and the government must do all it can to address public concerns and ensure food security. "We would like to understand what the US. wants to get out of the TPP. If it's an effective tool to establish a free-trade zone for the Pacific that benefits both the US. and Japan, that would be reason to pursue it," he said. "But if we can't identify enough merit for Japan and the US., then maybe we should pursue another way to establish a free-trade zone."

和訳の訂正など宜しくお願いします。 I would memorize passages I particularly liked and recite them to friends, even those who knew not a word of Japanese, being convinces that the beauty would be apparent from the sounds alone. ・私は特に好きな通説を暗唱して、そして日本語を一語も知らない友達に対してさえも、誇らしく物語りたい、その美は音からだけでも明らかになろうと確信しておったからなのです。(もはやぐちゃぐちゃ…) I learned at this time that the Chinese Government(the present government of Taiwan) was offering fellowships to Americans who had served in China during the war and who intended to pursue a career related in some way to China. ・私はこの頃、中国政府(現在の台湾政府)が戦争中に中国で軍部について、中国に何らかの関係を持つ仕事を追求する意図があるアメリカ人に、奨学金を提供していることを知った。 This too stemmed from the traditions of studying Latin and Greek in England, but surely it was expecting too much of students who had received so little exposure to any from of the Japanese language. ・これはまた、イングランドにおけるラテン語やギリシャ語を勉強する伝統から生じたものであったのですが、日本語のいかなる形態にもほとんど接触することがなかった学生たちに、それはあまりにも多くのことを求めていたのであります。 以上、宜しくお願いします<m(__)m>

When the war in Europe began in August 1914, Britain promptly requested Japanese assistance. On 15 August, Japan issued an ultimatum, stating that Germany must withdraw her warships from Chinese and Japanese waters and transfer control of its port of Tsingtao to Japan. The next day, Major-General Mitsuomi Kamio, General Officer Commanding (GOC), 18th Infantry Division, was ordered to prepare to take Tsingtao by force. The ultimatum expired on 23 August, and Japan declared war on Germany. At the beginning of hostilities, the ships of the East Asia Squadron under Vice Admiral Maximilian von Spee were dispersed at various Pacific colonies on routine missions. Spee's ships rendezvoused in the Northern Mariana Islands for coaling. SMS Emden then headed for the Indian Ocean, while the rest of the squadron made their way to the west coast of South America. The squadron engaged and destroyed a Royal Navy squadron at the Battle of Coronel, before being destroyed at the Battle of the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic. The Boxer Rebellion at the beginning of the century had led Germany to consider the defense of Tsingtao. The port and town were divided from the rest of the peninsula by steep hills. The natural line of defense lay along the hills, from the Kaiserstuhl to Litsuner Heights. A second 17 km (11 mi) line of defense was set up along a closer line of steep hills. The final line of defense was along hills 200 m (660 ft) above the town. A network of trenches, batteries and other fortifications had been built in preparation for the coming siege. Germany had strengthened the defenses from the sea, laying mines in the approaches to the harbour and building four batteries and five redoubts. The fortifications were well equipped (though some with obsolete Chinese artillery) and were well manned. On 27 August, the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) sent ships under Vice-Admiral Sadakichi Kato, flying his flag in the pre-dreadnought Suwo, to blockade the coast of Kiaochow. The British Royal Navy (RN) strengthened the Japanese fleet by sending the China Station's pre-dreadnought HMS Triumph and the destroyer HMS Usk. According to a German press report after the siege, the Triumph was damaged by the German shore batteries. The blockading fleet consisted mainly of nearly obsolete warships, though it did at times include a few modern vessels. These included the dreadnoughts Kawachi, Settsu, the battlecruiser Kongō, her sister Hiei, and the seaplane carrier Wakamiya, whose aircraft became the first of its kind in the world to attack land and sea targets. These Japanese aircraft would also take part in another military first, a night-time bombing raid. Japanese troops coming ashore near Tsingtao The 18th Infantry Division was the primary Japanese Army formation that took part in the initial landings, numbering some 23,000 soldiers with support from 142 artillery pieces.

Between 1803 and 1854, the United States achieved a vast expansion of territory through purchase, negotiation, and conquest. At first, the new states carved out of these territories entering the union were apportioned equally between slave and free states. It was over territories west of the Mississippi that the proslavery and antislavery forces collided. With the conquest of northern Mexico west to California in 1848, slaveholding interests looked forward to expanding into these lands and perhaps Cuba and Central America as well.[45][46] Northern "free soil" interests vigorously sought to curtail any further expansion of slave territory. The Compromise of 1850 over California balanced a free soil state with stronger fugitive slave laws for a political settlement after four years of strife in the 1840s. But the states admitted following California were all free: Minnesota (1858), Oregon (1859) and Kansas (1861). In the southern states the question of the territorial expansion of slavery westward again became explosive. Both the South and the North drew the same conclusion: "The power to decide the question of slavery for the territories was the power to determine the future of slavery itself." Sen. Stephen Douglas, author of the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854. Sen. John J. Crittenden, of the 1860 Crittenden Compromise. By 1860, four doctrines had emerged to answer the question of federal control in the territories, and they all claimed they were sanctioned by the Constitution, implicitly or explicitly. The first of these "conservative" theories, represented by the Constitutional Union Party, argued that the Missouri Compromise apportionment of territory north for free soil and south for slavery should become a Constitutional mandate. The Crittenden Compromise of 1860 was an expression of this view.
