Why is the number 13 considered unlucky in the United States?
- The number 13 is considered unlucky in the United States, which is surprising considering the country's historical association with the number. Many cities do not have a 13th street, and buildings often skip the 13th floor.
- The United States originally had 13 states, which is represented on the dollar bill by an incomplete pyramid with 13 steps. The bald eagle, a symbol of the country, carries an Olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 berries, as well as 13 arrows in its claws. Above its head, there are 13 stars.
- Despite these associations, the number 13 is still seen as unlucky in American culture. It is often avoided in buildings, and many people have superstitions about the number. This belief may have originated from various historical, cultural, and religious influences.

・The reason why a language becomes internationally successful has much to do with how powerful those speakers are. ・It is clear that a nation`s military power makes its language dominant; however, there is another factor in explaining why a language becomes a global language. ・Any nation with an explosion of international marketing and advertising would have found itself leading the world`s economy and its language expanding globally.

どなたか以下の英文を翻訳できる方が居ましたらぜひお願いいたします。 As this book seeks to demonstrate, the visual world and its producers, its users and its designers, are engaged in a heated debate over the status of design - who has ownership of it, who is qualified to do it, and how we receive and interpret it, It is in a period of evolution, and requires more developed and rigorous understanding. It may seem odd to say this , but whatever your view of the discussion in this chapter, it should ve clear that design is not simp;y a visual medium; it is a social and, as we have identified, a political one. It just happens to be most apparent visually in the messages sent to us by commerce, media and government, and the subtler but equally important messages we send each other in our everyday practices. Like an iceberg, 90 per cent of visual communication is hidden beneath the surface. And, just like an iceberg, it is the invisible 90 per cent that provides the raw power of visual communication. So, there we end this overview of some of the key ideas that are involved in the study and under standing of visual communication and its relationship with design. Undoubtedly, like some of the practitioners interviewed for the book, you will disagree with some of it. Hopefully some of it will have challenged your own positon on this subject.

英文の訳をお願いします。 Terni is a large modern city and Saint Valentine's church is on the edge of town. So it is not so easy to find the church. “If Saint Valentine had been born in a city in America, they would have built a theme park there. But as he was born in Italy, you could enter Terni without knowing it was Saint Valentine's hometown," an American friend said to me. In the square in front of the church, Saint Valentine's Festival is held on February 14. Many couples, young and old, attend the festival. Inside, the church looks like any other Italian church, but two baskets overflowing with letters would catch your eye. The priest has to deal with 50,000 a year. Of these, 10,000 come from Japan. Saint Valentine is well known in this country, too. In spite of its connection to Saint Valentine,Terni has few advantages. “We wish more tourists would visit Saint Valentine's hometown," a city official says. The local government hopes to make Terni into a modern city. They built a new footbridge to link the church with a parking lot for cars and buses. The Saint Valentine Foundation is working hard to make Terni into more than a city which comes to life only one day a year. For example, it has helped to organize a concert dinner with TV personalities. But one of its concerns is not to let the religious meaning of Saint Valentine be lost among the commercial activities. However, some local people argue that, since the chocolate, cards, and candlelight dinners of Saint Valentine's Day are a huge business the world over, they wourld over, they would be foolish if they did not take their share of it.
