この英文を翻訳してください！お願いします！ Giving time or talking time to help others is a common way that people give to others. In a survey, Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) asked thousands of people in over 150 countries about way they gave to others in the month before the survey . The results showed that 45% of people worldwide took time to help a stranger in some way. By contrast, about 20% of people who took the survey said they helped others by giving some of their time volunteering with groups. The CAF survey did not ask about how people gave things to others, but it is clear giving things is quite common. People may buy extra food or other items in order to give these things to charities or to those in need. People may also give things they do not need or use any longer, such as clothes, phones, or even an old car. These kinds of donations of new of or used items actually add up to a lot of help for those who need it. When it came to giving money, the CAF survey found that over the past month, 33% of people had donated money. Over the years, the United States has been one of the most generous countries worldwide. Each year, people, companies, and organizations in the United States donate over $300 billion. Actually, 75% of this amount, or over $225 billion, comes from people. Half of that is donated each year by average people and families and half is donated by richer people. Recently, the very rich have been challenged to give even more by the Giving Pledge A group of very wealthy people like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates started this idea. They want others to promise to donate most of their wealth now or at some point in the future. So far, over fifty billionaires around the world have joined Buffet and Gates in the Giving Pledge.

他人を助けるために時間をあげたり、話す時間を作ったりすることは、人々が他の人にしてあげる普通のやり方である。調査の中でチャリティーズ・エイド財団（CAF※1）は150カ国を超える国の何千人もの人々に、その調査前1ヶ月の間に彼らが他人に施した方法について尋ねている。その結果によると世界中の45％の人々がなんらかの方法で他人を助けるために時間を費やしていた。対照的に調査を受けた約20％の人々が、グループと一緒にボランティア活動する時間のいくらかを与えることにより他人を助けたと答えた。 CAFの調査は人々が他人に物を与えたかどうかは聞いていない。が、物を与えることがまったくもって普通のことだという事はあきらかだ。人々は、余分な食べ物や他の品を、慈善団体もしくはそれらを必要としている人々に与えるために購入するのであろう。人々はまた、彼らがもはや必要としない、もしくは使わない、洋服や電話、中古車でさえ与えるのであろう。こうした新品もしくは中古品の寄付は、実際にそれを必要としている人々への多大な助けに加えられる。 お金をあたえる項目になった時、CAFの調査で過去1ヶ月にわたり、33％の人々がお金を寄付したことがわかった。長年にわたり、アメリカは世界中でもっとも寛大な国（※2）のひとつとなっている。毎年、アメリカの人々、会社、団体は3000億ドルを超える寄付をしている。実は、この金額の75％、2250億ドル以上は一般の人々からである。その半分は、平均的人々やその家族によって毎年寄付され、残り半分がより金持ちの人々から寄付されている。 最近では、このアイデアを出したウォーレン・バフェットやビル・ゲイツといったとてつもないお金持ちの人々のグループGiving Pledge（※3）により、大金持ちがより多く与えることに挑戦している。彼らは現在もしくは将来のどこかの時点で富の大半を他人に寄付することを約束したがっている。これまでのところ、世界中の50を越える億万長者達がGiving Pledgeにおいて、バフェットやゲイツと結集している。 ※1：イギリスのボランティア団体 ※2：募金などお金の寄付を沢山する国という意味です。 ※：ビル・ゲイツとウォーレン・バフェットが立ち上げた寄付キャンペーンの名称なのであえて訳しません。詳細については下記をご参照ください。 http://greenz.jp/2010/08/17/giving_pledge/

下記の文章を長文ですが翻訳を宜しくお願いします！ He is honest and tries to keeps promises but he also evades a lot of issues in life. He has a solid sterling good character. He is imaginative and gentle, idealistic and wishes no one any harm or ill. He is creative impressionable, there is refinement that likes poetry and good art and music a cultured person whatever his social class, he will reach beyond the confines of the material, and the mentality of the people around him, into the creative and into the spiritual. He cares deeply about things and he is in tune with the modern day and the problems of the world society and people around him. The trends of life, he is forwards looking, an advanced soul really. He is difficult to know, and to understand. But he is good at understanding others, can seem to sense what your thinking and feeling. Underneath he may lack confidence in himself. Or may have suffered a lot in the past and it has left its mark. He is never fully appreciated, as he keeps his talents and good points in the background, modest, often taken for granted or disregarded by others, one on the sidelines of life, uninvited into the popular mainstream. Unassuming, but inclined to worry too much over trifles. Over anxious likes to get things right, or avoid peoples fault finding and disparagements. He is easily ruled or influenced by those he cares about they seem to have an inordinate power to restrict him without trying. A person who will make self unasked for sacrifices for those he loves, often unappreciated; or will at least feel that he has done so He may also feel tied to them or by circumstance, duty or guilt, a person who has difficulty in feeling free in life.. He is tied by so many things.

どなたか翻訳をしていただけないでしょうか？ 宜しくお願いします。 He is patient, dedicated, methodical in all he does. Very excellent in his work and ways, and will gain renown in his own field of life Likes to feel he has a purpose He has strong forebodings which do not materialize. However he does seem ambitious to advance himself, to get a better life, or to become free of difficulties. He is interested in the attaining of intellectual knowledge and while he uses it to help others he is idle or impractical or unassertive in using it to help himself, and advances very little in life, He could be parasitic, wasteful or carried by others. For he doesn’t seem to get personal power or position despite his high intelligence. Ends up doing what others want him to, or else evading and shipping out. He has a sense of duty but doesn't like responsibility. A passive dreamy nature. He is a clever and spiritual man. He is sympathetic and imaginative. Kind and generous. But escapist, never satisfied with life and prefers to retreat or escape from the realities of it in one way or another. Thus he has a weak side to his character that may need strengthening if he is to make the most of his opportunities in life. He is mildly mediumistic and may be interested in psychic and occult subjects. An uncommon person, spiritually inclined, mystical and yet well accepted.

People in other areas also wanted to find ways to do something. Some of them actually gave a helping hand to the victims by ciearing the streets and serving hot meals. Millions of people have donated money and goods. Aid came from not only within Japan but from many other countries. There are lots of students who want to help people in need. You may not be able to take action right away, but there are many things that young people can do. Doing volunteer work during long vacations is one of them. Studying is another . It will help you to learn things to make this nation a safer place. 長い文章ですが、よろしくお願いします。

If he is a stay at home character, contented to potter round the house in his free time, or if he is wild extravagant and always socializing and wants an independent life outside the relationship to do so. If he will shut you out of his leisure. Or if you’ll socialize and become in involved in thing together as a couple. These things can be important within the structure of a relationship and can help draw the bond closer, or change it. So this is what I will come to now.

Cultural Violence Cultural Violence legitimizes direct and structural violence by convincing people that, in the name of God or of histry, they are not only justified but also duty bound to harm or even kill others. Some relilgions, political ideologies and nationalisms are moderate and tolerant. Others however, place so high a premium on the self and so thoroughly dehumanize the other that, in the eyes of their adherents, massacre of the other seems an acceptable option. Passive Violence We must begin to understand the extent of violence that each of us practice ourselves consciously or unconsciously in our daily lives. Passive violence is indirect. It can be very subtle forms of pressure, discrimination, coercion or disrespect. Passive violence causes anger and anger causes physical violence. The relationship between passive violence and physical violence is the same as the relationship between gasoline and fire. Passive violence fuels the fire of physical violence, which means if we want to put out the fire of physical violence we have to cut off the fuel supply. The fuel supply is us. The very spaciousness of the American continent has given rise to what is called the frontier spirit, which was originally a challenge to the natural regors of an uncultivated terrain, seems to overlook the existence of other peoples. When the Americans are forced to deal with other nations and peoples, the frontier spirit asserts itself in the form of attempts to bring bear the immense power of the United States.

以下の文章を翻訳お願いします He has a negative side that is proud and sullen. Too proud to admit when his ambitions are falling or brining ruin on him. He struggles on, but not stupidly or blindly. He try’s to salvage himself, help himself. He admits to himself he is going down, but not to others. One who harbors jealousies and can be sometimes spiteful. Quick tempered, but not so much with people, it is more when everything goes badly or goes wrong, or when he makes mistakes. He gets angry at objects, situations, may slam the door, or slam things down. The incompetence of others also angers or irritates him. He can become unapproachable and lonely when angry. He brings many troubles on himself by this. One who has both good an evil fortunes. An interest in the history of times and places and the making of new chapters in the destiny of his life. His circumstance have made his life not a fixed one. and he will have encountered many interesting changes of friends partners, work and environments before he finally settles down. He is generous to those close or those he wants to impress. but sometimes wasteful, buys foolish possessions, that belong to some impractical ideal in his head. Or is impulsively foolish at a time when he has little to be impulsive with..
