魅力的なカナダの都市、バンクーバーの夜と朝
ydnaの回答
前回の同じご質問に、締め切り後に回答させて頂きました。 回答するのに、空き時間を見つけながらなので、ご質問自体を見つけるのも遅く、結果、回答が遅れてしまいます。ごめんなさい。 まだ、ご確認されてないかもしれませんので、ここに再録させて頂きます。一カ所、変更した部分があります。また、-- keys -- も増やしました。 ーーー拙訳ーーー ロッキー山脈の西側に、カナダの最も刺激的な都市の１つ、バンクーバーが広がっています。一般大衆は夜間に外出し、街の夜の活気から楽しみや誘惑を拾い集めています。しかし、朝のぬくもりが街を取り巻く山々を包んでいくと、夜の灯りは朝日に、その役目を譲ります。バンクーバーは、日本海流の影響、すぐ沖合で循環する温かい水の底流のおかげで、おそらくカナダ全土の中で最も温暖な気候です。それは、バンクーバーが、ブリティッシュ•コロンビアの最大都市で、カナダで３番目に大きいという理由の一因かもしれません。視点を変えて、皆さんがご存知の環境が一因かもしれません。太平洋の片隅ながら、背景に森が茂る山々というバランスの良さで、この街は、有する可能性全てをフルに活かしています。「私は、ここに２年半暮らしているけど、この街の気に入っている部分は、気候、人々、ここで続いている営みだね。気候はすばらしく、朝のひとときにはセーリング、その後、午後にはスキー、それから、ほら、夜にはパーティーに出かけ、すてきな時間を過ごすことができる。だから、楽しさいっぱいだよ。」そしてもちろん、グラウス山とそのスキー場は、中心部からわずか15分です。陽光が降り注ぐ庭園と涼しくて暗い森林で1,000エーカーの面積を有し、スタンレー•パークはバンクーバー最大の公園です。誰にとっても身近なことが、快適な日をますます格別な日にしてくれます。堤防をぶらつくことさえ、カモメ、渡り鳥のカモやオオアオサギに出会うという素敵な偶然を与えてくれる可能性があります。スタンレー•パークの奥まった一角に、バンクーバー水族館があります。白イルカ、シャチを含め、9,000以上の水生動物がこの水族館に生息しています。グランビル橋のたもとにはグランビルマーケットという巨大な公立市場があり、豊かな土壌と恩恵多き気候の連携から産まれる豊富な恵みであふれています。西海岸で最高の産物全てが旬の時期に販売されています。迷ってしまいますよ！ ２カ所、タイプミスと判断しました。 West of the Rockies line ー＞ West of the Rockies lies thanks tn the influence ー＞ thanks to the influence --- keys --- West of the Rockies…. = 主語は、one of 以下で、West of the Rockies は副詞句。MVS の形で倒置文。one と Vancouver が同格主語。 to sample… = to不定詞副詞的用法（目的／結果）。sample は、他動詞で、「サンプル採集する」が元で「（色々と）経験する」。 give way to … = 「……に道を与える」が元で、「……に屈する／に譲歩する／に取って代わられる／変化する」 as = [接続詞]。「……つれて」 blankets = [他動詞]。３単現。「……を覆う」 surrounding = [前置詞]。元は、分詞構文。 thanks to … = thanks は、名詞だが、thanks to … 全体で、副詞句。 That may help explain why Vancouver is …. = 直訳「それは、バンクーバーが……である理由を説明する助けをしているかもしれない。」 On the other hand, it may be the setting. = 直訳「一方では、それは、その環境かもしれません。」なのですが、この文以前も、「気候」（環境の１つと考えます）を理由説明の助けとしているので、the setting を「環境」と訳すのに抵抗がありました。the が問題で、この場合、「みんなが知っていて、おそらくあなたもご存知の」という意味だと考えます。つまり、直訳すると「みなさんがご存知の環境」と訳せます。が、その内容を後ろで紹介しているので、「次に挙げる環境」の感覚で、前回は「こちらが基本かもしれません。」と訳しました。setting は、この場合、日本語の「ロケーション」（地理的環境）の意味に近いと思っています。 Poised = 分詞構文。 the parts l like about it = the parts (that/which) I like about it = 直訳「それ（バンクーバー）について私が好きな部分」 With one … dark forests, = 副詞句。付帯状況。 Accessibility for everyone = 直訳「誰にも近づきやすいということ」／「誰にも簡単にできるということ」／「誰にも身近にできるということ」。直訳「誰にも近づきやすいこと」／「誰にも簡単にできること」／「誰にも身近にできること」 all the more =『ますます』 a good chance of …ing = 「……する見込み／公算」 migratory = 直訳「移動性の」 duck = 「カモ」。ちなみにアヒルは「家鴨」と書くことからも分かるように、家畜です。 http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/カモ beluga = Vancouver Aquarium のホームページでは、「白イルカ」の意味で使われています。写真付き。 http://www.vanaqua.org/learn/aquafacts/cetaceans/belugas Under the Granville Bridge is …. = 最初の文と同じで、MVS。SVMの倒置文。主語は、the Granville Market,a huge public market（同格）。 overflowing with the bounty that comes = a huge public market を修飾する現在分詞句（形容詞句）と考えられる。 that = [関係代名詞主格] All the best (products) of the West Coast = All the best products を集合的に単数扱いをしているので、動詞は、is で、所有格は its。 in its season = 「その旬の時期に」 The challenge is choosing! = 直訳「難題は選ぶことです。」ー＞「（何を買って味わうか）選ぶのが難しいです。」 以上、少しでもお役に立てたでしょうか？ ★ydna★

West of the Rockies line one of the most exiting cities in Canada,Vancouver.Crowds come out at night to sample the fun and temptation of its night life.But the lights of the night give way to sunrise,as the morning warmth blankets the mountains surrounding the city.Vancouver probably has the mildest climate in all of Canada thanks tn the influence of the Japanese Current,a submarine river of warm water that flows just offshore.That may help explain why Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia,and the third largest in Canada.On the other hand,it may be the setting.Poised at the edge of the Pacific with forested mountains in the background,the city takes full advantage of all its possibilities.“l’ve been living here for two and a half years and the parts l like about it are the weather,the people,the business that is going on here.The climate is fantastic,you can sail one part of the morning and then ski for the afternoon and then,you know,be out partying and having a good time in the night.So it’s a lot of fun.”And of course Grous Mountain and its skiing are only fifteen minutes from downtown.With one thousand acres of sun-filled gardens and cool,dark forests,Stanley Park is the largest Park in Vancouver.Accessibility for everyone makes a beautiful day all the more special. Even a stroll along the seawall can provide a good chance of seeing seagulls migratory ducks,or a great blue heron.Tucked into a corner of Stanley Park is the Vancouver Aquarium.More than 9,000 aquatic animals call the Aquarium home, including beluga and killer whales. Under the Granville Bridge is the Granville Market,a huge public market overflowing with the bounty that comes from the combination of rich soil and a beneficent climate. All the best of the West Coast is sold in its season.The challenge is choosing!

Among the many findings of a city traffic study released on Monday was that 80 percent of all crashes in a five-year period in which pedestrians were seriously injured or killed involved men who were driving. The imbalance is far too great to be explained away by the predominance of men among bus, livery, taxi and delivery drivers, said Seth Solomonow, a spokesman for the city’s Transportation Department. The statistic would seem to put to rest, for good, the Mars versus Venus question of who is better behind the wheel, and to confirm what auto insurance companies — and at least half the city (women, that is) — knew all along.

The Canadian Corps participated in several of these actions including the Battle of Arleux and the Third Battle of the Scarpe in late April and early May 1917. After the end of World War I, Byng was raised to the peerage as Baron Byng of Vimy, of Thorpe-le-Soken in the County of Essex, on 7 October 1919. The next month, he retired from the military and moved to Thorpe Hall. The Battle of Vimy Ridge has considerable significance for Canada. Although the battle is not generally considered the greatest achievement of the Canadian Corps in strategic importance or results obtained, it was the first instance in which all four Canadian divisions, made up of troops drawn from all parts of the country, fought as a cohesive formation. The image of national unity and achievement is what, according to one of many recent patriotic narratives, initially gave the battle importance for Canada, According to Pierce, "The historical reality of the battle has been reworked and reinterpreted in a conscious attempt to give purpose and meaning to an event that came to symbolize Canada's coming of age as a nation." The idea that Canada's national identity and nationhood were born out of the battle is an opinion that in the late twentieth century became widely held in military and general histories of Canada.

Haisla artist,Lyle Wilson:“This process of doing sculpture today is quite different from the past in the sense that today the buildings are so finely designed that the people who carve are actually requested to do a scale model that is exact.Whereas in the old days when they do a house post or a totem pole they do it entirely from memory or their experience,so there are no scale models there are no drawings as opposed to today where every thing is really finely tuned.”“This piece has been commissioned by the First Nations House of Learning,which is a center for aboriginal people at the University of British Colombia and it’s made out of red cedar.And it will be two figures that are half-human and half animal.And one side will represent the Eagle and the other side will represent the Beaver Clan,which is on this side.And the reason why I picked them was because the Beaver is my Mother's crest and Eagle is my Father's crest.So I wanted to present both of those on this post because it dose represent myself and my family from Kidamount.”Thatcertain pride in its ethnicity has given Vancouver a multicultural atmosphere.The Chinese arrived in this area in 1858.The attraction was the Fraiser River gold rush and all who came hoped to strike it ribh.Today Vancouver is enriched and enlivened by its substantial Chinese population. Early in the morning,people gather to practice Tai Chi.The teachings and techniques have been handed down from generation to generation.

英語の教科書の日本語訳はこれでよろしいですか。 Could Scotland be an independent country? One reason that it might be possible is that, off the coast of Scotland under the North Sea, there are the largest oil fields in Europe. The oil is piped ashore in Scotland, and Aberdeen, a city in the north of Scotland, is the centre of Britain’s oil industry. スコットランドは、独立した国になることが出来るのか。その理由は、スコットランドの沿岸は北海の下にあり、ヨーロッパで大きい油田があるので可能性はあるかもしれない。その油は、スコットランドの岸にぱいおぷがある、スコットランドの北にある都市アバディーンは、ブリテン島の石油産業の中心です。 これでよろしいでしょうか。

Toronto's architeclure is a melange of old and new,influenced by ethnic diversity,for Toronto is a city of neighborhoods.Chinatown as well as the Greek,ltalian,and Polish district each maintains its own culture.Yorkvile is a neighborhood of Victorian houses converted to art galleries,designer boutiques,and fashionable restaurants.Here Toronto's new money and old money meet in cafer to linger over cappucino and conversation,playing at high society's favorite pastime of seeihg and being seen. Everyone comes together at the Nathan Philips Square ice skating rink.Whether skating hand-in-hand,or dancing on ice,it's Toronto's most popular winter meeting place.The many people who have made their home here all contribute to the rich multicultural communities that take Toronto beyond the merely metropolitan and make it truly cosmopolitan.

Animals in the wild lead lives of compulsion and necessity within an unforgiving social hierarchy in an environment where the supply of fear is high and the supply of food low and where territory must constantly be defended and parasites forever endured. Animals in the wild are, in practice, free neither in spase nor in time, nor in their personal relations. In theory an animal could pick up and go, defying all the social conventions and boundaries proper to its species. But such an event is less likely to happen than for a member of our own species, say a shopkeeper with all the usual ties ― to family, to friends, to society ― to drop everything and walk away from his life with only the spare change in his pockets and the clothes on his frame. If human beings, boldest and most intelligent of creatures, won't wander from place to place, why would an animal, which is by temperament far more conservative? For that is what animals are, conservative, one might even say reactionary. The smallest changes can upset them. They want things to be just so, day after day, month after month. Surprises are highly disagreeable to them. You see this in their spatial relations? An animal inhabits its space, whether in a zoo or in the wild, 'in the same way chess pieces move about a chessboard. There is no more happenstance, no more "freedom," involved in the whereabouts of a lizard or a bear or a deer than in the location of a knight on a chessboard. Both speak of pattern and purpose.In the wild, animals stick to the same paths for the same pressing reasons, season after season. In a zoo, if an animal is not in its normal place in its regular posture at the usual hour, it means something. Animals are territorial. That is the key to their minds. Only a familiar territory will allow them to fulfill the two relentless imperatives of the wild:the avoidance of enemies and the getting of food and water. A biologically sound zoo enclosure is just another territory, peculiar only in its size and in its proximity to human territory. Such an enclosure is subjectively neither better nor worse for an animal than its condition in the wild;so long as it fulfills the animal's needs, a territory, natural or constructed, simply is, without judgment, a given, like the spots on a leopard. One might even argue that if an animal could choose with intelligence, it would opt for living in a zoo, since the major difference between a zoo and the wild is the absence of parasites and enemies and the abundance of food in the first, and their respective abundance and scarcity in the second. Think about it yourself. Would you rather be put up at the Ritz Hotel with free room service and unlimited access to a doctor or be homeless without a soul to care for you? But animals are incapable of such discernment. Within the limits of their nature, they make do with what they have.

お願いします (17) Although myth and legend cloud the founding of Rome, archaeology shows that there is a trace of truth in these accounts. Latin-speaking herdsmen and small farmers did establish a settlement and build huts on the Palatine Hill in the 8th century BCE. These archaeological findings agree with the legendary foundation of Rome around 753. (18) As for the mingling of the Roman and Sabine peoples, cemeteries in Rome give evidence for that. Each early civilization followed a particular set of rules for burying its dead. But in Rome, archaeologists have found the remains of buried bodies and the ashes of cremated bodies―pronf that two different cultures existed side-by-side in early Rome. Thir is noe of many ways that archaeologists have found evidence of a real world that mirrors the ancient myths and legends of Rome.
