すごいことになってますね。 Zz_zZさんの回答でほぼOKですが、私とは分詞構文の解釈が異なっています。 とは言え、Zz_zZさんの補足みたいなものです。 The charm of the scooter is ~ 「キックボードの魅力は~である。」 ~の中身は that aside from being fun, easy to use and trendy, it fold up and can be carried on crowded trains, making it attractive not only to teenagers but also to office workers in their 20s and 30s です。~部分の中核を成すのは、 it fold up and can be carried on crowded trains 「それは折りたたみ式で、混雑した電車に持ち込むことが可能である。」 です。it は the scooter です。 これにおまけとして付いているのが、 aside from being fun, easy to use and trendy 「楽しく、使いやすく、トレンディーであることとは別に」 です。aside from ~ の~の部分には being fun easy to use trendy の3つが並列できています。 というわけで、ここまでをまとめると、 The charm of the scooter is that aside from being fun, easy to use and trendy, it fold up and can be carried on crowded trains 「キックボードの魅力は、それが楽しく、使いやすく、トレンディーであることとは別に、 折りたたみ式になっていて、混雑した電車に持ち込むことだってできることです。」 残りの making it attractive not only to teenagers but also to office workers in their 20s and 30s ですが、 it fold up and can be carried on crowded trains を受けて making it attractive と続く分詞構文です。 (aside from being fun, easy to use and trendy, の部分は受けてないはずです。) it は the scooter です。 というわけで「そのことがキックボードを魅力的にしています。」となります。 「そのこと」とはもちろん it fold up and can be carried on crowded trains です。 最後に not only to teenagers but also to office workers in their 20s and 30s ですが、これは直前の attrative に続き、 attractive not only A but also B 「Aにとってのみならず、Bにとっても魅力的で」 となります。 ですから、making以下は、 「そのため、キックボードはティーンエイジャーにとってはもちろん、 二十代、三十代の会社員にとっても魅力があるのです。」 となります。 office workers は電車通勤者を意識しています。 全体をまとめて訳すのはやっかいなのですが、例えばこんなふうになります。 「キックボードの魅力は、それが楽しく、使いやすく、トレンディーであることとは別に、 折りたたみ式になっていて、混雑した電車に持ち込むことだってできることです。 折りたためることによって、キックボードはティーンエイジャーにとってはもちろん、 二十代、三十代の会社員にとっても魅力があるのです。」

    訳おねがいします The chief attraction slang has for people is novelty. It is fun to hear an idea phrased in a new, unusual way. But after hundreds of repetitions, the novelty wears off: the slang loses freshness and sparkle. The history of most slang expressions is that die an early death. (A)That is one reason why slang is often ineffective in speach and inappropriate in writing that is meant to last for some time. Then, too, a great many siang expressions are so general that they hardly have any meaning at all beyond a vague indication of approval or disapproval. Using such words adds no more to your speech or writing than dose calling everything you like "wonderful" and everything you dislike "awful". Words like "dreamy" and "crummy'' are slang of this kind and add little to style or meaning. Slang should be used with caution. A safe prescription is this: in conversation with friends, use it, but in small doses. Use it even less frequently in informal writing, making sure that what you use is appropriate to the subject and will not annoy readers. Never use it in formal speech or writing. If you read a great deal and listen with interest to the speech of people who use language well, you will gradually develop a reliable judgment about the appropriateness of slang. Then, when you feel sure a slang expression is effective, you will probably be right. 三段落目のmaking sure that の making の用法を教えて下さい。

    Blackberryと言う携帯電話のような機器の便利さが家庭にも悪影響を与えていると言う記事です。 http://www.voanews.com/english/2007-02-15-voa36.cfm 最後から2番目のパラグラフは以下の通りで、後半のクウォテーションの中の意味がわかりません。 Jeff Buhl and Heather Acord both like to stay on top of technology and say their Blackberries are essential. Buhl admits that he has been caught e-mailing at inappropriate times. "I am sure you have been at a family function when it stopped being fun, so that might be the time to check your e-mail or respond to that message that you got yesterday. Yes, I'll do that." 特にit stoppesのit がなにかわかりません。また、その後も意味がとれず、I'll do that は何をすると言っているのかもわかりません。 よろしくお願いします。

    訳お願いします! 夢についての話です。 Not Being Able to Get off the Train If your dream is about not being able to get off the train, you may be frightened of getting to your destination. It may mean that you have started something you can't stop, and you feel out of control. Fire A dream about fire may wean that you have warm feelings, but it may also mean that your hopes are being destroyed. A fire out of control could represent your fear of being out of control.

    夢についての話だと思います。 訳お願いしますm(._.)m お願いします! Flying If you dream about flying and looking down on the people below, you may have an inferiority complex. Your dream may express your desire to be looked up to by others. Or, if you find yourself flying so high that you can't see anything below and feel no fear of falling, it may mean that you want to escape from your burdens. Climbing You may think that a dream about climbing mountains means you are trying to overcome difficulties. Whether or not this is true may depend on what kind of mountain you are climbing. If you are climbing a mountain with heavy snow and cold winds in winter, it may mean that you are in a bad situation. However, if you are climbing a mountain in warm weather in spring, it may mean that your life is going well. Being Chased If you dream about a person following you, it may mean that you have thoughts you wish to escape from. For example, you may be thinking you did something wrong. Or, if you are being chased by wild animals, it may mean you have strong characteristics in yourself that you want to escape from.

    In much of the world, authority is not challenged, either out of respect or out of fear, and, sometimes because a hierarchy of rank has been fixed for so long that people have been trained for generations never to challenge it. In such countries children are not expected to question their teachers in school, and brilliant young scholars or inventive industrial geniuses are hampered in technical research because they hesitate to disagree with their "superiors." Clever researchers may be considered too young to have any right to present findings that contradict the knowledge and wisdom of their elders. The American is trained from childhood to question, analyze, search. "Go and look it up for yourself;’’ a child will be told. In many schools tasks are designed to stimulate the use of a wide range of materials. An assignment to "Write a paper on the world's supply of sugar," for example, will send even a young child in search of completely unfamiliar ideas. Even in the primary grades children are taught to use libraries and to search for new ideas. By the time they are 14, 15, or 16, many young scholars are making original and valuable contributions in all fields of science. Industry is so aware of this untouched resource that each year, through national competitions, it offers awards to teenagers in order to seek out (and later employ) young people with brilliant, inquiring minds.
