今日学校で英文を日本語に訳す宿題がでました。 ですが自分は英語が全くできずわかりません＞＜ 誰か英訳が得意な方宜しくお願いします！ 以下が本文です。↓ The children at the Freedom School in Rooseveltown, NewYork, learn their ancestors’ language, Mohawk. The school is on the St.Regis Mohawk Reservation. A reservation is land on which Native Americans live. There are about 300 reservations in the United States now. Until the 1960s, Native American children were punished if they spoke their native tongue at school. In the 1970s, people on the St.Regis Mohawk Reservation began to worry that their children were not learning their native tongue and culture. Like many other Native American languages, Mohawk was in danger of extinction. Only one out of five Mohawks could speak it. Mohawk leaders started the Freedom School in 1979. In this school the students learn about Mhawk history and tradition as well as the language. "What they’re learning here, they would never be taught anywhere else,” says one of their teachers.

ニューヨーク州ローザベルタウンのフリーダム・スクールの子供たちは、彼らの祖先の言葉であるモホーク語を学びます。 その学校は、セント・レジス・モホーク特別保留地にあります。 特別保留地は、アメリカインディアンが住む土地です。 およそ300の特別保留地が、現在アメリカ合衆国にあります。 1960年代まで、彼らが学校で部族の言葉を話すと、アメリカインディアンの子供たちは罰を受けました。 1970年代には、セント・レジス・モホーク特別保留地の人々は、彼らの子供たちが彼らの部族の言葉や文化を学んでいないことを心配し始めました。 多くの他のアメリカインディアンの言葉と同様、モホーク語は絶滅の危険にさらされていました。 5人のモホーク・インディアンの内わずか1人しかそれ（モホーク語）を話すことができませんでした。 モホーク族の指導者たちは、1979年にフリーダム・スクールを始めました。 この学校で、生徒はモホーク語ばかりでなくモホーク族の歴史や伝統について学びます。 「彼らがここで学んでいる事は、他の所では決して教えられることはないでしょう」と、彼らの先生の1人は言います。

文章にできなくてもいいから辞書で調べて知らない単語をなくしてください。 文の構造を理解しないと意味がわからないと思いますが、単語からある程度類推できると思います。

英文の訳をお願いします! A similar movement can be seen in other countries,too.In Australia, the native Aborigines are trying to preserve their languages and cultures. They have been discriminated against in society for a long time and the speakers of their native tongues are rapidly decreasing in numaer. A group of Aborigines have established a small publishing company. The reason is that they want to maintain their native tongue. This is also the case with the Ainu in Japan. Once the Ainu were not allowed to speak their native tongue or live in their traditional way. As a result, their language and culture were dying out. In order to preserve them, the Ainu have begun to teach their native tongue to their children and have built some museums of Ainu folk art. They have also started an Ainu speech contest and a conversation program in the Ainu language on the radio. よろしくお願いします!

文法ミスや、その他改良すべき点ががありましたら指摘していただけるとありがたいです。 テーマ：小学校における外国語教育の是非 In my opinion, children should not study a foreign language in an elementary school. It is true that learning another language enables us to communicate with people who speak the language, and to see the world in a new way. However, I believe that people in their early days ought to learn their own language deeply. It is because mother tongue has a very important role in their lives, and peole could establish their identity by studying it enough. Furthermore, children in an elementary school already have many subjects to study, so it is not able to be thought of as a wise selection to made children have more burden. For these reasons, I emphasize that children should study their own language deeply insted of learnig foreign languages.

和訳をお願いします 長くなってすみません(>_<) The elders of the Native American Cherokee tribe in Lost City, Oklahoma are worried about their native language. They are afraid that the Cherokee language will be gone unless they do something soon. So,at the request of the tribe leaders, Lost City School decided to start a trial program to teach Cherokee. They started with a single class in its kndergarten. In the class, the children are called by their Cherokee names and they only in Cherokee. Once, the U.S. Government tired to assimilate Native Americans into American society. The policy made it difficult for the Cherokees to speak their language. They were laughed at for speaking it. They could even be punished when they spoke Cherokee. “When you spoke Cherokee, your mouth was washed out with soap,”says a Cherokee old-timer, remembering his younger days. If they wanted to live in peace, they needed to hide their language. Now, the children in the newly started class are encouraged to speak Cherokee not only in school, but also at home. One day, a boy in the class came home and said to his mother in Cherokee that he was going out to play. His mother didn't really understand what he said. But she is now starting to re-learn the language she once knew when she was a child. It is hard to bring Native American languages back to life, especially in places like Oklahoma. This is because Native Americans generally attended public schools and do not live on reservations. But the tribe leaders know that if no efforts were made to preserve their language,they would lose not only their language and culture, but also their identities.

英文和訳お願い致します！長文ですが分かる方いましたらよろしくお願い致します＞＜； Thus far, we have argued that the language faculty incorporates , a set of universal principles which guide the child in acquiring a grammar. However, it clearly cannot be the case that all aspects of the grammar of language are universal; if this were so, all natural language grammars would be the same and there would be no grammatical learning involved in language acquisition (i.e. no need for children to learn anything about the grammar of sentences in the language they are acquiring ), only lexical learning(viz. learning the lexical items/words in the language and their idiosyncratic linguistic properties, e.g. whether a given item has an irregular plural or past-tense form). But although there are universal principles which determine the broad outlines of the grammar of natural languages, there also seem to be language-particular aspects of grammar which children have to learn as part of the task of acquiring their native language. Thus, language acquisition involves not only lexical learning but also some grammatical learning. Lets take a closer look at the grammatical learning involved, and what it tells us about the language acquisition process. Clearly, grammatical is not going to involve learning those aspects of grammar which are determined by universal (hence innate) grammatical operations and principles. Rather , grammatical learning will be limited to those parameters ( i.e. dimensions or aspects ) of grammar which are subject to language particular variation (and hence vary from one language to another). In other words, grammatical learning will be limited to parametrised aspects of grammar (i.e. those aspects of grammar which are subject to parametric variation from one language to another).

In the third period, the child makes rapid progress in increasing his or her vocabulary and learning new skills in discovering the meaning of unfamiliar words by the way the words are used in the reading material. In addition, children during this period of reading development learn to read for different purposes and in different subjects, such as science and history. They learn that reading, besides being something that one dose at school, is also something that one can do alone,for fun, for factual information, or to learn more about the world in general. Finally, in the fourth period, the student improves the skills that have been leaned. He or she develops the ability to connect ideas from one piece of writing to another, and learns to compare the opinions of different writers on the same subject. Young persons should reach the fourth period of reading by the time they are 13 or 14 years old, and, if they try, they can continue to increase their reading ability for the rest of their lives. They can read by themselves and are prepared to learn more about reading.

Education Techniques for Lifelong Learning という英文資料を読んでいるのですが、その中で理解できない文がありました。少し長いのですが以下の文です。 In two different studies, researchers found that teachers believed adults to be significantly more intellectually curious, motivated to learn, willing to take responsibility for their learning, willing to work hard at learning, clear about what they want to learn, and concerned with the practical applications and implications of learning than were children and adolescents. 最後の ～ than were children and adolescents. という文の構造は馴染みがなく、どのように解釈したらよいのかわかりません。than の後に be 動詞というのが何かおかしな感じがしています。 比較級 more ～ than の～の部分が非常に長い文だとは思うのですが、訳を含めて解説いただければ幸いです。
