> 200 miles northwest of the modern city of Dwaraka, India, this ancient city was discovered underwater in the Gulf of Khambhat. この前に文があったものと思われます。そうでなければ、書き始め方が唐突過ぎます。この部分は 「中学レベル」 の方でも、単語の意味さえ調べれば分かるレベルの文だと思います。 ・ 200 miles northwest of the modern city of Dwaraka, India （その200マイル北西で / ドゥワラカというインドの近代都市の） ・ this ancient city was discovered underwater in the Gulf of Khambhat. （この古代都市は発見された / コンバット湾の水底で） → この古代都市は、ドゥワラカというインドの近代都市から北西200マイルの位置にある、コンバット湾の水底で発見された。 > It cannot be dated, but some have argued the city is the oldest on earth... built between 9 and 32,000 years ago. この部分も、まぁ単語の意味を調べれば分かる文ではないでしょうか。 ・ It cannot be dated （その年代ははっきりしない） * ここの date は動詞で 「・・・ （年） に遡る」 という意味。 ・ but some have argued （しかしある者たちは ・・・ と言う） ・ the city is the oldest on earth （その都市は地上で最古のものだ） ・ built between 9 and 32,000 years ago （9 と 32,000 年前の間に建てられた） * 9 の後ろにあった語が脱落しているのでは？ → いつ頃のものであるのか分からないが、人類最古の都市だという者もいる。現在を遡ること9万年から3万2千年前の間に建設された都市だというのである。 > Proof of the age is a major battleground as anything that old means advanced civilizations existed on lands that were flooded way before archeologists have said there were civilized builders. この部分は、読解するのが大変かも。というか、私にもよく分からない（涙）。 ・ Proof of the age is a major battleground （年代の証拠となるのは大きな戦場である） ・ as anything that old means advanced civilizations existed on lands （というのは、それほど古いものが意味するのは地上に存在した進んだ文明であるからだ） as は理由を表す。that old の that は 「それほどに」 くらいの意味。mean は動詞。civilizations existed は civilizations (which) existed という文の which が省略されていると見ていいでしょう。 ・ that were flooded way before archeologists have said there were civilized builders （それらは考古学者が文明を築いた者たちがいたと言う前に押し流されている） archeologists は綴りを間違えている。正しくは archaeologists です。それと、非常に癖のある英文の書き方に感じられます。 「考古学者が言う前に」 というのも妙な言い方ですが、要は 「だから今となっては考古学者も推定することがむずかしい」 という意味でしょう。 → 年代を調べるのに役に立つのは大きな戦場であるが、地上に先進文明が存在したということを証しする証拠物が、押し流されていて、（ここに） 文明を築いた人たちがいたのだとは考古学者も断定ができない。 > Yet, construction techniques were advanced and points to the intervention of interstellar helpers. ・ Yet, construction techniques were advanced （しかし建築技術は進んでいた） ・ and points to the intervention of interstellar helpers （そして星間の助け手の介入を指し示す） * interstellar helpers って、「宇宙人」 のことじゃあ ・・・ → だが、進んだ建築技術からすると、宇宙人が介在したのではないかとも思われる。 * とうとう宇宙人まで登場させてしまいましたが、この解釈でいいのかな？ 自信が無くなってきました （笑）。そういえば、昔、こういうことを主張して本を書いてた人がいました。何十年も前のことですけれども。

They served the northern and western quarters, leaving the Stabian baths to cater to dwellers in the centre and east. It is interesting that both sets of baths were fitted in irregular insulae, which straddled the transition between the old quarter of the city and the more regular developments to the north and east. If, as Eschebach argues, there was formerly some kind of physical boundary or pomerium round the old quarter, these blocks may have been relatively sparsely built up, thus providing the only feasibile sites which were both centrally positioned and large enough to accommodate the baths. The buildings of the colonists made an important mark on Pompeii’s public landscape; they set the stamp on its transformation from the Hellenized Samnite city of the second century BC to the Roman city of the early Imperial period.

When not in use for drills and other displays, it would have been open to the general public as a pleasant intramural open space, analogous to the monumental porticus, such as the Porticus of Octavia and the Porticus of Livia, which the emperor created(in continuance of a Republican tradition) in the capital. It was provided with a central swimming pool and planted with plane trees whose estimated age at the time of the eruption is the chief argument for an Augustan date. The importance of the campus is attested by the fact that the space was obtained by suppressing six blocks of the pre-existing street-grid. Recent excavations have yielded traces of early properties which must have been bought or expropriated. One reason for placing the campus in the eastern part of the city may have been that this quarter was less densely populated than others, so that the cost of the development and the degree of disruption that it caused were less than they would have been elsewhere.

英文の和訳で困っています 和訳を教えていただきたいです よろしくお願いします！！ The detailed evolution of Pompeii’s public landscape in the Roman period is full of uncertainties. There are question-marks over the dates of several buildings; it is difficult to decide, indeed, whether some of them date to the period after the foundation of the colony or go back to Samnite times. Where the dates of buildings are known, it is often unclear what preceded them: the dearth of excavations beneath the levels of 79 prevents us, in most cases, from judging whether they were constructed on ‘’virgin’’ sites, whether they replaced domestic or commercial buildings, or whether they were substitutes for previous public edifices. The following account will, therefore, be hedged with many ‘’ifs’’, ’’buts’ ’and’ ’maybes’’. By the time of the Social War the development of the street-system was complete apart from minor adjustments, and most of the city-blocks were built up. The forum, towards the southwest corner of the city, was the hub of civic and commercial actively, and, though much of its east side seems still to have been occupied by shops and workshops rather than the public buildings which existed later, there were certainly public buildings to the south and west.

It is not certain whether, as often claimed, this was because the site in question was open land and thus available for development: recent excavations have indicated that the blocks in the eastern quarter were much more fully built up in their early stages than was later the case. Marginalizing the amphitheatre had the advantage of keeping potentially rowdy crowds away from the city-centre; at the same time, spectators from communities further up the Sarno valley, such as Nuceria, could be channeled in and out through the nearest city-gates. The oval auditorium, which was not supported on a network of concrete vaults like later amphitheatres, exploited the slope of the defensive ramparts on the south and east.

The emphasis on the approach from the sea was further reinforced by the rebuilding of the Porta marina. While the defensive walls, now redundant, were generally neglected or swallowed up by private development, the arched gateways seem to have been maintained as a means of monumentalizing access and asserting civic pride.

But the cult title Victrix –the Victorious–with which Sulla worshipped the goddess was not used at Pompeii, presumably because it evoked Sulla’s bloody victory over the Samnites in the wars of the late 80s. In the precinct of Apollo the gaps between the piers that connected the sanctuary with the forum were filled in and the area was reshaped as the colonnaded courtyard visible today. The three main temples–the Capitolium, the Temple of Apollo and the Temple of Venus, were all embellished in the Augustan period or shortly afterwards. The cult became very popular, to judge by the number of graffiti that allude to it, and Pompeii became well known as the city of Venus.

英文を和訳していただけるかたのみで お願いできますでしょうか？ １段落と２段落の前半部分となります。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 I cannot tell how many sibling there were. The family is a happy one. They have a strong love and regard for each other and no bad or bitter feelings from the past. His siblings and cousins were taller, well built had obesity at an early age. There were a family that contained more girls than boys in it, and were mostly older than your soul mate. One of them had a self portrait on the wall. Your soul mate was like the “ baby” of the family. They looked more prosperous and healthy, better than they were. They were a devoted happy family, who liked each other, and were patient and tolerant of each others shortcomings. Mainly a fat, big made, tall strapping family with big noses, strong features, and chestnut and darker brown hair. Faces a mix of pale and ruddy.

What do our customers pay us for? Why do they buy from us? In a competitive, non-monopolistic market, and that is what the world has become, there is absolutely no reason why a customer should buy from you rather than from your competitor. None. He pays you because you give him something that is of value to him. What is it that we get paid for? You may think this is a simple question. It is not. I have now been working with some of the world’s biggest manufacturers, producers, even in Slovenia. I have been asking that question now for a year. We have two kinds of customers: one, of course, is the retailer and, if that soap or that detergent or that mayonnaise is not on the retailer’s shelves, the housewife won’t buy it.
