The Evolution of Automobile Horns: From Silence to Klaxon
- Automobile horns have come a long way since their inception. Originally, automobiles did not have horns, as they were quiet and traveled at a moderate speed. However, as vehicles became faster and road traffic increased, the need for a warning device became apparent. The first horn was a hand-operated device, but in 1908, an inventor patented the electrically operated Klaxon horn. The word 'Klaxon' is derived from the Creek verb klazein, meaning to make a sound. Klaxon is now a popular trademark for automobile horns.

When automobiles first began to appear on the roads and streets of this country they did not have horns of any kind. The noise they made and the moderate speed at which they went made horns unnecessary. But in time it was felt that a warning device was needed. The first such signal was a hand-operated horn consisting of a rubber bulb on one end of a brass trumpet. In 1908 an inventor secured a patent on a horn that was electrically operated. He coined Klaxon as the trade-mark for his new product, and this word has now become popular. Klaxon is based upon the Creek verb klazein, which is related to the Latin word clangere from which "clang" comes. The Greek verb means to make a sound of some kind, its precise meaning depending on the source of the sound. When birds are referred to, it means "to scream," as the eagles and herons do. When dogs are the source of the sound, it means "to bark or bay." If things such arrows in a quiver are being talked of, klazein means "to clash or rattle." If the wind is spoken of, it means "to whistle." If people are referred to, the verb means "to shout or scream." It would be difficult to coin a word that has in it more of the element of sound than does Klaxon.

自動車が最初にこの国の道と通りに現れ始めたとき、自動車にはいかなる種類のホーン（警告音発生器）もありませんでした。当時の自動車がたてた雑音と適度な（遅い）速度は、ホーンを必要としませんでした。（誰でも気がつく） しかし、そのうち、警告装置の必要性がでてきました。 最初に出来た装置は、真鍮のトランペットの一端にゴム球を（空気送り用として）つかった手動のホーンでした。 1908年に、発明者は、電気的に操作可能なホーンに関する特許を得ました。彼は新製品の商標としてクラクションと名づけました、そして、このことばは今では有名ですね。 クラクションはクリーク同盟動詞のklazeinに基づきます。そして、それは「大きな音」が来るラテンの単語clangereにも関連があります。ギリシアの動詞は、ある種の音（音のもとに従うその正確な意味）をたてるとことです。その音源に鳥が検討され、ワシとアオサギが「叫ぶ」ような感じで。 犬を音源にした場合、それは「ほえるか、うなる」ような感じになります。 もし、震え（振動）のようなものが話題にされているということならば、klazeinは「衝突するか、音をたてる」といった感じになります。 風が検討されるならば、それは「笛を吹く」のようになるし、人々が言及されるならば、動詞は「叫ぶか、悲鳴」のようになります。 クラクションが意味する音以上の要素を持たせる言葉を造り出すのは、難しいことです。 ※前の回答者さんのサイトで試しに訳して修正してみました。 少しだけ変ですが、割と翻訳がしっかりしているサイトのようですね。 手助けにはなると思います。 本文の修正が出来てない部分はご自分でやってみてください。 それでは。

英文の訳が分かりません But it had also been suggested by the book that he had just taken out of the drawer. it was a peculiarly beautiful book. its smooth creamy paper, a little yellowed by age, was of a kind that had not been manufactured for at least forty years past. He could guess, however, that the book was much older than that. He had seen it lying in the window of a frowzy little junk-shop in a slummy quarter of the town ( just what quarter he did not now remember ) and had been stricken immediately by an overwhelming desire to possess it. party members were supposed not to go into ordinary shops ( ‘dealing on the free market ’, it was called), but the rule was not strictly kept, because there were various things such as shoelaces and razor blades which it was impossible to get hold of in any other way. He had given a quick glance up and down the street and then had slipped inside and bought the book for two dollars fifty. At the time he was not conscious of wanting it for any particular purpose He had carried it guiltily home in his briefcase. Even with nothing written in it, it was a com-promising possession この英文を全訳してもらえるとありがたいです。

But are such techniques in fact helpful to patients? It is of course important to assess any form of treatment, and given that patients vary enormously in their problems and their capabilities, group studies of mnemonic techniques are unlikely to be very satisfactory. Fortunately, there are techniques that were specially devised to investigate the effects of treatment on a single patient. Most of these originated in the operant conditioning laboratory; they have been adapted for clinical purposes by behaviorally minded clinicians, and are now being used to assess the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation. They tend not to be well known to cognitive psychologists, who are generally much more familiar with large group designs, or in the case of neuropsychology to single case studies that are concerned with assessing and describing the patient’s deficits, rather than evaluating treatment. お願いします。。

以下の英文訳で困っています！！ どのように訳すのでしょうか？ お暇なときで構いません、よろしくお願いします。 Innovation and investment Agrodiversity can be viewed in two ways. One way is to see it as the contribution of skillful but essentially passive adaptation to local diversity in the context of changing conditions. Another is to stress innovations that impose greater control on the farming environment. Both are elements of diversity and sometimes both are present in the same general region, the same community territory, and even on the same farm. Ecological niches are carefully selected, but whereas some are used with little modification of the land surface and biota and others are managed in a uniform manner, still others are used only by the creation of substantial and enduring physical changes. These are the so-called landesque capital, investments with a life expectation well beyond the present crop or crop cycle. Landesque capital is defined by Blaikie and Brookfield (1987:9) as “any investment in land with an anticipated life beyond that of the present crop, or crop cycle. The creation of landesque capital involves substantial saving of labor and other inputs for future production.” The term was developed within agricultural economics, and I cannot recall from where I borrowed it when I first used it in 1984. In the broad field of cultural ecology it is often attributed to me, but unfortunately I cannot claim that credit. Landesque capital includes terraces, irrigation and drainage system, large mounds, and deliberate changes in the mixture of trees grown on land that has been cultivated. Landesque capital also includes soils that are so modified by their users as to be almost manufactured, as will be discussed in chapter 5. 長文で申し訳ないです・・・

以下の英文が訳せなくて困ってます、、。すみませんが訳をお願い致します！ The TWO MAIN TENDENCIES If film grows out of photography, the realistic and formative ten-dencies must be operative in it also.Is it by sheer accident that the two tendencies manifested themselves side by side immediately after the rise of the medium? As if to encompass the whole range of cinematic endeavors at the outset, each went the limit in exhausting its own possibilities.Their prototypes were Lumiere, a strict realist, and Melies, who gave free rein to his artistic imagination.The films they made embody, so to speak, thesis and antithesis in a Hegelian sense. Lumiere's films contained a true innovation, as compared with the repertoire of the zootropes or Edison's peep boxes ; they pictured everyday life after the manner of photographs. Some of his early pictures, such as Baby's Breakfast ( Le Dejeuner de bebe) or The Card Players (La Partie d'ecarte), testify to the amateur photographers's delight in family idyls and genre scenes. And there was Teasing the Gardener (L'Arroseur arrose), which enjoyed immense popularity because it elicited from the flow of everyday life a proper story with a funny climax to boot. A gardener is watering flowers and, as he unsuspectingly proceeds, an impish boy steps on the hose, releasing it at the very moment when his perplexed victim examines the dried-up nozzle. Water squirts out and hits the gardener smack in the face. Thet denouement is true to style, with the gerdener chasing and spanking the boy. This film, the germ cell and archetype of all film comedies to come, represented an imaginative attempt on the part of Lumiere to develop photog-raphy into a means of story telling. Yet the story was just a real-life incident. And it was precisely its photographic veracity which made Maxim Gorki undergo a shock-like experience. You think, he wrote about Teasing the Gardener, the spray is going to hit you too, and instinctively shrink back.

英文の訳お願いします。 Drive safety is the result of a harmonious suspension design in terms of wheel suspension, springing, steering and braking, and is reflected in optimum dynamic vehicle behavior. Conditional safety as the result of the least possible physiological stress on the occupants of the vehicle through vibration, noise and climatic conditions is a significant factor in reducing the pos-sibility of incorrect maneuvers in traffic. Vibrations within a frequency range of 1 to 25 Hz (stuttering, shaking, etc,) induced by wheels and drive compo-bents reach the occupants of the vehicle via the body, seats and steering wheel. The effect of these vibrations is more or less pronounced, depending upon their direction, amplitude and duration. Noises as acoustical disturbances in and around the vehicle can come from internal sources (engine, transmission, props hafts, axles) or external sources (tire/road noises, wind noises), and are transmitted through the air or the vehicle body. Sound intensity is measured in dB(A);see also p. 81. Noise reduction measures are con-cerned on the one hand with the devel-opment of quiet-running components and the insulation of noise sources (e. g. engine encapsulation), and on the other hand with noise damping by means of insulating material or anti-noise ma-terials. Climatic conditions inside the vehicle are primarily influenced by air temperature , air humidity, rate of air flow through the passenger compartment and air pressure (see p.646 for additional information). よろしくお願いします✧ •̀.̫•́✧

英訳お願いします＞＜ (1)To form a society individuals must be related in a certain manner. For instance,if people do not communicate with each other, if they are perpetually in aggressive physical combat if they do not cooperate with each other, and do so routinely over a period of time,then their interactions are not social and they don`t constitute a society. (2)The fact that animals lose their knowledge of things as time goes by,and consequently their interest in them,accounts for their absurd behavior in many situations. They constantly interrupt one line of action to do something else,and they may come back to the first activity or forget it altogether .
