結構長い英文なのですが、英語が得意な方翻訳お願いします。それか各小節の概要でも教えて頂けるとありがたいです。 The ancient city of Peshawar is located in Pakistan, close to the site of the earliest Buddhist sculptures. Sheep are abundant in that area. Medieval wooden homes line the dark streets, and here and there smoke rises from small restaurants nestled among the homes. All the restaurants serve sheep meat, or mutton. The meat is served grilled on skewers or as small steaks. The most delicious fragrance of all comes from kabobs. Kabob, also called kebab, means "grilled meat" in Arabic. The most common meat comes from sheep. The cheapest and best kabobs are found in small restaurants where the meat is grilled over charcoal. Chunks of meat are placccl on skewers and grilled over a charcoal fire. That's it. If the cook is skillful, the meat is moist, and melts in your mouth. Large restaurants will season the meat and cook it with onions, however, the authentic kabob is not even seasoned with salt. The quality of the meat determines the flavor, so small authentic restaurants are the best place for kabob. The word shish kabob comes from the Turkish language, and is understood just about everywhere. Sheeps meat is considered a great delicacy just about everywhere in the Middle East and Central Asia. The entire animal is eaten, including its innards stand alongside stalls selling mutton. There are corners where dozens of sheep's heads will be displayed for sale. The brains are considered the tastiest part of the animal, and area eaten boiled with a squirt of fresh lemon. In various regions throughout the Middle East and Central Asia, there is an annual rite in which sheep are sacrificed, and the meat is distributed to relatives and neighbors. It is said that in Pakistan, the finest hospitality is shown to company by killing a sheep in the morning and serving its brain in the evening. There is probably no meat as universally populer mutton. It cuts across religions and cultures. For example, Japanese research institute found that the traditionally picky Parisians consumed more sheep and duck than any other types of meat. A guest at a Parisian family dinner is likely to find a mouth-watering plate of roast leg of lanb on the bone in the center of the table. There are Japanese who claim to be put off by the smell of roast lamb, but that is probably because they have never smelled really fresh roast lamb. There are sometimes surprises in sheep cusine. There are many restaurants in Sofia, Bulgaria, specializing in sheep cusine, but if you cannnot read the Bulgarian menu and simply order "the specialty of the house," you are likely to end up with roast sheep's head. This is considered a Bulgarian delicacy, and the tastiest part of the sheep. The British English expression, "mutton dressed as lamb," goes back a long way. Mutton is meat from mature sheep, while lamb is meat from a young sheep. The phrase indicates an older woman who tries to make herself look young. The old English phrase "eat one's mutton with..." means "to dine with..." Sheep are not just for meat. In the Middle East, Europe, and elsewhere, sheep are free-range domestic animals who are loved for their cute cuddliness.

以下のとおりお答えします。 (全訳) ペシャワールの古代都市はパキスタンの、最古の仏教彫刻の付近にあります。その地域では羊が豊富です。中世風木製家屋が、暗い通りを一列に並び、家々の間に寄せ集められた小さいレストランあちこちから煙が立ち昇ります。すべてのレストランはマトン、つまり、羊肉を提供します。肉は提供されて、串において、または小さいステーキとして焼かれます。すべての料理中で最も旨そうな匂いは、串焼き肉から出て来ます。 "Kabob"(串焼き肉)は"Kebab"とも呼ばれ、アラビア語で「焼かれた肉」を意味します。最も一般的な肉は、羊から採られます。最も安くてよい串焼き肉は、小さいレストランの炭火焼に見られるものです。厚切りの肉が串に刺されて、炭火の上で焼かれます。あ、それです、それです。もしコックが熟練しているならば、肉はしっとりしていて、あなたの口の中で溶けますよ。大きなレストランでは、肉に味付けをしてタマネギで調理しますが、本物の串焼き肉は塩の味付けすらしません。肉の品質は風味を決定します。従って、串焼き肉を食べるなら、小さな本物レストランが最もよい場所なのです。シシカバブという言葉は、トルコ語から来た語ですが、だいたいどこでも知られていますね。 中東や中央アジアでは、羊肉はほとんどどこでも大変美味しいと考えられています。内臓を含む全身が食用になります。家畜小屋のそばで羊肉が売られたりしています。数十個もの羊の頭が、販売用に表示されるコーナーがあります。脳はその動物の体の中で最もおいしい部分と考えられ、食用に供される部分に新鮮なレモンをふりかけてボイルします。中東や中央アジアの様々な地域で、羊が奉納される年次儀式がありますが、その際、肉は親族と隣人に分配されます。 パキスタンでは、最も素晴らしい歓待は、朝方羊を殺し、夕方その脳ミソを仲間に提供することによって表現される、と言われます。たぶん、羊肉ほど一般的に人気のある肉はないでしょう。それは宗派や文化を横切って通用します。例えば、日本のある研究所によれば、伝統的に気難かしいパリの住民が、どんな肉よりも羊とアヒルを多く消費するといいます。パリの家族に招かれた客は、おいしそうな子羊ローストの皿がテーブルの真ん中に、でんと置かれているのを目にすることがよくあります。 子羊ローストの匂いのせいで食欲をなくされる、と主張する日本人がいますが、それはきっと、彼らが本当に新鮮な子羊ローストの匂いを嗅いだことがなかったからでしょう。時々、羊料理には驚きがあります。羊料理専門のレストランがブルガリアのソフィアにたくさんありますが、もしあなたがブルガリア語のメニューを読めずに、単に「自家製特別料理」を注文しようものなら、ロースト羊の頭の料理だけで終わってしまう、ということになりかねません。これ(羊の頭)こそ、ブルガリアの珍味にして、羊の中でも最高に美味なる部分と考えられているのですから。 イギリス英語の表現「羊肉は子羊のように着飾っていた」は、太古の昔まで遡ります。マトンは、円熟している羊から調達される肉ですが、その一方、ラムは若い羊から採られる肉です。それでこの言葉は、自分を若く見せようとする年増女性のことを表すものです。古い英語の言葉「…と一緒にマトンを食べなさい」は、「…と一緒に食事をしなさい」を意味します。なお、羊は肉用に供されるだけではありません。それは、中東、ヨーロッパ、およびその他の地域で、抱きしめたくなるほど可愛いために愛されている、放し飼いの「国動物」(*)でもあるのです。 (*)「国動物」:「国歌、国旗、国宝、国鳥…」などと言うときの「国~」と同じような意味です。

    ユダヤ教の食についてのタブーがなぜ厳しいのかとという長文です、途中までは やったので残り半分ほど訳せる方お願いします Among the ancient and influential religions of the world, there is none as strict as Judaism for classifying foods as fir or unfit to eat. Foods which meet these standards are considered kosher-that is, fit or proper. For example, any animal which has cloven hooves and chews its cud is kosher. It is forbidden to eat pig, camel or rabbit because they lack one of these two qualifications. Only fish with fins and scales may be eaten, which means that octopus, squid, shrimp, crab, and catfish are forbidden by dietary laws. Chicken and turkey may be eaten. There is a special law that forbids eating meat, including poultry, and milk products together. Utensils used for meat may not be used for diary produced and vice versa. There is also a ritual method of killing animals that may be eaten. Animals that die of disease or that are found dead may not be eaten. A variety of rules must be observed in the slaughterhouse. A slaughterer has special qualifications and training, and may only use a very sharp knife in order to minimize the animal's suffering. Following the slaughter, the meat must be rinsed in water to remove all traces of blood. To eat a rare steak with traces of blood is out of the question. Orthodox Jewish butchers do not keep hindquarters of meat in their shops. The hindquarters are sold to nonkosher butchers because Jews are forbidden to eat the sciatic nerve and the surrounding blood vessels. Nowadays, while many Jews condnue to refrain from eating pork and other traditionally forbidden foods, they will enjoy trying just about anything else. Why does the Old Testament go into dietary laws in such detail? ltls only a guess, but when the ancient Hebrews left their Egyptian bondage to wander for years in the desert, suffering all sorts of hardships, these strict rules were vital to promoting both hygiene and a sense of solidarity among the people. If your plane arrives in Israel on a Friday evening and you want a meal, you're out of luck. The Jewisll day of rest begins at sunset on Friday and runs until sunset on Saturday. During that time, restaurants are closed. You have to go to the Palestinian section for a meal. The Arabs follow Islam, and their day of rest ends on Friday. And, of course, the Christian day of rest is a day later than that of the Jews, on Sunday

    Sakyamuni(566?-480 B.C.) was the founder of Buddhism. He was born into the Sakya clan in Lumbini in present day Nepal. One day, one of his disciples went to a certain village that was living in fear of a terrible dragon. Even the birds were so frightened of the dragon that they would not fly over the village. The disciple spent a night sitting in Zen meditation, and the next day reasoned with the dragon so successfully that it converted to Buddhism. The disciple gained instant fame by this, and the vilagers went all out in their hospitality to him. They game him all the liquor he could hold, and he got completely drunk. Seeing his disciple who had just tamed a terrible dragob too drunk even to reason with a little frog, Sakyamuni forbade the drinking of liquor. Sakyamuni declared that liquor was to be avoided because, taken in excess, it leads to mistaked and confusion, and people are no longer able to distinguish the important from the trival. One of the sutras states that drinking to excess leads to: 1) loss of wealth 2) illness 3) becoming argumentative 4) loss of reputation by revealing weak points 5) becoming prone to violence 6) loss of wisdom. These six points could refer to anyone, not just Buddhists. Some Buddhist sects are stricter than others, but where liquor is concerned, all Buddhist priests take the non-drinking doctrine seriously, and preach it to Buddhist believers. It may at first sound surprising, but Buddhism does not forbid the eating of meat. In the earliest days of Buddhism, lay people said to the ascetics, "You enjoy eating poultry and rice, but it's said you frown on worldly things. What exactly does that mean? The ascetics replied, "The talking of life, theft, and adultery are all types of Worldly behavior. Simply shaving our heads and refusing to eat meat is not what true asceticism is about." I have frequently visited Buddhist temples in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. The monks eat the food they collect in their begging bowls each morning. The foods are various: cooked chicken, sautéed fish, hardboiled eggs, and vegetables with white rice. All the food is delicious for having been donated with kindness by local people. The oldest monk mixes all the different foods together by hand, and then encourages the other monks to eat, saying,"Help yourselves." The oldest monk spoke about his job. "We never see animals being killed for food, and as long as the animals are not killed for our benefit, we receive the meat gratefully. Everyone enjoys delicious food. I mix the food to make sure it is not too delicious, otherwise we will think more about food than about religious training."Devout Buddhists in Southeast Asia are not allowed to eat solid food from noon on. For the rest of the day, they are allowed only water and tea. This, too, may be considered an austerity that is tied to food. There are two large schools of Buddhism. One is found in Southeast Asia, and is said to be the original Buddhism practiced at the time of Sakyamuni. The other, found in East Asia (including Japan), broke away from the original Buddhism 200 years after the death of Sakyamuni. It is a reformist school that arose in response to the conservatism of ancient Buddhism. Some forms of East Asian Buddhism are strongly against eating meat and drinking liquor. They consider meat to be "the food of the devil." This is why eating meat was banned in Japan and China. India was originally a land of vegatarianism, meaning neither meat no fish is eaten, only vegetables. There are even extreme vegetarians who refuse to eat eggs. This was too extreme for the people of one province, who set up lots of signs reading "Eggs are vegetables!" In Japan in 675, meat eating by the Buddhist clergy was banned by Imperial edict. The edict was not rescinded until 1873. Even so, in large temples that venerate ancient rituals, traditional Buddhist vegetarianism, called shojin cuisine, is still practiced.

    The eel is truly an mysterious fish. As is well known, young eels return from the sea to grow big in rivers. What no one knows is where they are born or from where they travel to Japan. They seem to come from the deep sea teaches around the Philippines, but this is not known for certain. Thus, we can't catch a lot of young eels, and there is also a natural limit on our ability to farm eels. We have finally learned how to make mature eels lay eggs, but as we do not know what young eels eat, we cannot raise them from birth. In other words, eels cannot be farmed from birth through to maturity. Today, there's some disagreement between eel chefs and sushi chefs. At eel restaurants, they will serve a strip of white meat about 5 cm long and call it baby eel. Sushi restaurants, on the other hand, deny that it is eel;they say it is baby conger or sea snake. It is hard to imagine it is baby eel, because baby eel is hard to come by in quantity. Anyway, no matter who is right, baby eels are a mystery to eel lovers. What is also strange is that although Japanese waters should be a fine breeding ground for eels, young eels are hardly ever found. On the other hand, there are countries such as Spain which have an abundance of young eels. A favorite Spanish dish is to take heaps of European baby eels seasoned with olive oil and garlic, and then cook them in clay pots. There are probably more baby eels on each plate than a Japanese will eat in a lifetime. Another strange thing is that, half a world away from Spain in Venezuela, baby eels are eaten the same way. It helps to know that Venezuela is by far the wealthiest nation in the region, and frozen baby eels are flown in from Spain. Of course, Venezuela was originally conquered by Spain in the Age of Discovery, and the privileged classes of Spanish ancestry still uphold a "Spanish diet." Europeans enjoy eating not only baby eels, but eels in many ways. The north German city of Hamburg is known for its varied gourmet cuisine, and its eel soup with fruit is very unusual. Smoked eel is commonly eaten in Europe in soup or sauteed. And remember, it's bad manners to slurp your eel soup. There is a poem in Manyoshu that goes:"Won't you have some eel? It keeps you strong in summer." The benefits of eating eel to prevent exhaustion in summer were well known in those times, which indicates just how ancient our history of eel-eating is. The Japanese have always had great faith in the benefits of eating dark-col-healthy. That is why catfish was popular. Among the varieties of dark meat, eel is especially delicious. In the Edo Period, eels that came up from Tokyo Bay into the Fuka and Kanda Rivers were considered the finest, while those found elsewhere were considered less flavorful. It's hard to imagine that the flavor of the former would be different from eel caught locally. Anyway, oddly enough, there are two big misunderstandings about eel among Japanese people. The first is that eel is a specialty of Japan. When you understand how highly valued eel is in Europe, you might eat it more often. The second is that some people hate eel, associating its shape with snakes, even though they have never tried it. If they could get rid of that senseless association, many more people would try eel.

    Go to just about any seashore in Japan-Tokyo Bay, Osaka Bay, Nagoya Bay, Hakata Bay, or other places-and have a good look at posts or jetties in the sea. You'll notice blackish, oval shells about 5 cm long clinging to the sides. They are called mussels. Lovers of Italian food are delighted to see them piled on top of a plate of spaghetti in a restaurant. Mussels originally come from a broad area of sea ranging from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean. They arrived in Japan on the bottoms of ships sailing back and forth between that part of the world and Japan. They were first spotted in Japan in Kobe Harbor in 1935, and quickly spread throughout the archipelago. The fame of these shellfish has spread beyond Italy. In France, mussels (or moules in French) are deep-fried like potatoes and called moules frites, they've become a favorite fastfood for ordinary people. In fact, moules frites are even more popular in Belgium than they are in France. They are practically synonymous with Belgian cuisine. That is why the best mussel restaurants in Paris and Brussels almost always recommend Belgian beer to accompany the dish. In Japan, the igai(called nitarigai in some provinces) is a relative of the mussel family. It lives in deeper water than mussels, and can grow three times larger. In ancient times, the shells were collected as a type of tax by the central government. Today, too, they have considerable value. The shell of a European mussel appears slightly more purplish than an igai, and so the former is sometimes called murasakigai. Mussels are such a popular food item in Europe that they are farmed in France and Italy. Strange to say, they seem to pass unnoticed in Japan despite their abundance in the sea. It is a great mistake to think that Japanese mussels are not the "real thing" and European mussels are. It's a pity that only some marine specialists and gourmets appreciate the flavor and delicacy of Japanese mussels. Mussels are hated in Hiroshima and other oyster farming areas. They attach themselves to the shells of the oysters and eat the plankton meant for the oysters. This prevents the growth of the oysters. Oyster farmers pry the mussels off the oyster shells and ship them to market, but there is little demand for them. In Japan, these mussels are a luxury few can afford. In Japan, people who fish from sea walls and jetties frequently use mussels as bait. The poor mussels are collected in handfuls, and then stomped on to crush the shells. Japanese waters have recently become clean again, but there are still obvious pockets of pollution. Probably no one who saw a mussel in a polluted area would wish to eat it. However, there are still plenty of tasty and clean mussels in Japanese Waters. If you ask at a first-class restaurant in Japan whether the mussels they served were caught in Japan or in Europe, shouldn't they answer with pride, "They are from Mie Prefecture," or "They are from lwate Prefecture"?

    It was in the late 1970s, after the end of the Vietnam War that the Boat People made news. These were Vietnamese refugees who fled by boat to Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia, and from there tried to get to America, Australia, and Canada. One day, there was a shocking news story out of Melbourne: two Vietnamese Baot People had been arrested and tried in court on charges of killing and eating local dogs. Most East Asian cultures eat dogs, but this custom has been especially common in China. In ancient times, both emperors and commoners ate dog meat, and sacrificed dogs in religious services. Later on, dogs became associated with loyalty, and people stopped eating them. Even so, dog meat is still widely eaten in South China. Eating dog meat is common in both Koreas. In recent times, the culture of eating dog meat was restored under the contemporary slogan. "Return to Traditional Chinese Ways." Methods of preparing dog meat in both Koreas are given in detail in classical cookbooks, and include simmering, steaming, and grilling. Nowadays, dog meat is bought in stores and cooked at home. You can buy it in drugstores and in markets in Seoul. It's a little more pricey than beef, but the quality of the dog meat is very good. If you simmer it like sukiyaki, bubbles rise out of the meat, and the smell is divine. What about Vietnam, the home of the Boat People? There are a lot of specialty shops selling dog meat, and they fill up with customers around dinner time. There are spit-roasted dogs minus their heads and paws hanging in shop windows, and they look delicious. It's just like the South China restaurants, where mouth-watering ducks and chickens are hung in shop windows to attract customers. The Korean shops sell only cooked meat. The meat is eaten together with raw vegetables, and washed down with a local liquor like shochu. This is considered a healthy meal. The meat from these shops is cheaper than beef, and is eaten by the average family

    Let's take a brief tour of a raw meat-eating region. Welcome to the polar region of Canada's Melville Peninsula. The native peoples used to be called Eskimos. This was a derogatory term given them by native peoples from the south, meaning raw meat eaters. They are the meat of caribou, seals, and walruses raw. "Meat" includes the innards, which are considered the most exquisite parts of the animals. You might remember seeing documentary films of lions going straight for the innards of their victims. Of course, in that frozen part of the world, fruits, vegetables, and grains are unobtainable. The native peoples do not suffer from scurvy, and in fact have glossy faces, thanks to their diet of raw meat. A japanese cultural anthropologist who lived among these northern people learned that because of the bland flavor of raw meat, it is possible to eat a lot of it at each meal as a staple food, in the same way Japanese eat rice. Some parts of the innards are bitter while other parts are sour, so if you chew on them as you eat the raw meat, the meat tastes "seasoned" and you never get tired of it. Horsemeat is called cherry meat or sakura-niku in Japan. It may mean that the color of the meat is as beautiful as that of cherry blossom. But it may also mean that horsemeat is a sort of fake meat, sold by con men to unsuspecting passers-by under an exotic-sounding name. Take your choise as to which is the truth. There are those who love horsemeat for its deliciously light flavor. There are few restaurants that serve authentic tartar steak made from horsemeat. Most people do not realize that horsemeat is "the real thing", and that there is no reason to discriminate against it. Where food is concerned, when all is said and done, likes and dislikes are just a matter of taste.

The meat is eaten together with raw vegetables, and washed down with a local liquor like shochu. This is considered a healthy meal. The meat from these shops is cheaper than beef, and is eaten by the average family. There are also cat-eating cultures. I heard that there were several cat restaurants in Hanoi, Vietnam, so I went to investigate. They do exist, but barely; the government has banned them. The government said it issued this ban on eating cats because the decrease in the cat population has led to an increase in the rat population. This situation is a threat to community health. It was literally a case of, "When the cat's away, the mice will play." Anyway, that's how popular cat meat is. The government's policy is to enforce the ban until the cat population returns to its original size and can control the rat population. The reason for eating cats in China is explained with typical Chinese logic. Dragons and tigers are venerated as symbols of strength. Thus, if you can eat one, no power on Earth will be capable of resisting you. The trouble is, drgons are imaginary animals, and cannot be eaten. Tigers were once abundant, but can hardly be found now. So in place of dragons, the Chinese eat snakes, and in place of tigers, they eat cats. This is especially true of the culinary culture in South China. To return to the news from Melbourne: Australia, a Western society, was flabbergasted by the news that the men had eaten dogs. After all, this is a nation descended from the passionate dog and cat lovers of Britain! At the same time, other Boat People were also astonished. In Vietnam, dogs kept as pets are considered tasteless, and no one would eat them. The dogs the arrested men ate must have been strays. Looked at in that way, you can understand that they felt themselves innocent of any crime. No one knows what became of the two arrested men afterward. Anyway, it's important to understand that the problem lies in differences of cultures and values. It's the difference between two cultures: one that eats dogs and one that doesn't. But no one can say one side is definitely right and the other is wrong. The problem is not so easy.
