<My father didn't say his feeling by words, but I could feel that he was very pleased by that.> Sayとあるので「言う」ですから、言葉を話したのはわかっているので、in (not by) words の部分は重複します。この表現を使うなら:My father did not say how he felt の方が良いと思います。次の句で feel も良いですが前の句でその過去形を使っているので tell にしても良いと思います。また pleased に伴う前置詞は with です。 Though my father did not express himself (explicitly) in words, I could tell he was pleased with it. Express oneself は「自分の気持ち、意見を伝える」という意味です。Explicit は形容詞で「はっきり」の意味もあります。また裸体、極度な暴力、卑猥な言葉の出て来る映画、番組、書籍等は explicit content と記される事もあります。この反対の単語は implicit ですので、この文にある父親の気持ちは implicit に伝わったという事ですね。でも、express oneself には「明確に気持ち、意見を伝える」という意味なので、ここでは explicitly は入れなくても意味は伝わります。

  • 英語の和訳

    この英文の和訳教えてください(>_<) ↓ ↓ Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He realized his father was very old,and thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements,hereceived a telegram telling him his father had passed away,and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house,sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible,just as he had left it years ago. With tears,he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. And as he did, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name,the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag were the date of his graduation and the words PAID IN FULL.

  • call them out

    I strongly dislike—or don’t fully trust—some of my husband’s friends and family. Although the family has accepted me with open arms, his father, the father’s side of the family, some of my husband’s friends, and their wives occasionally use cultural stereotypes. I’m the only person of color and the newest addition to the group; while I don’t want to be pegged as “the sensitive minority,” I also feel that my silence means acceptance of their words. My husband is totally accepting of others, never stereotypes anyone, and recognizes that these “joking” comments are offensive. But the one time I pushed him to respond to an offensive forwarded email, he dragged his feet, which was disappointing. I feel that since they’re his friends and family HE should be the one to say something, but I understand that he doesn’t want to get into an argument with people who raised him/whom he grew up with, and whom he loves. Is there a polite way to call them out on their words, or should I just leave this alone since 1) we don’t often see them and 2) they don’t say this stuff all of the time? call them out on their wordsはどのような意味でしょうか?よろしくお願いします
