Higan and Bon Buddhism refers to the present life as"this shore and to the life of enlightenment as the“ other shore”. Higan is a seven-day Budd hist memorial service for the dead held twice a year, centering on two periods, the vernal equinox(around March 21) and the autumnal equinox(around September 23) On these two days, the sun crosses the equator, and the lengths of day and night become equal. These two days are national holidays. During Higan the Japanese have long had the custom of honoring their ancestors whom they believe to be in the “other world" of the west where the sun sets. People visit their family graves, clean them, and show reverence for the dead by offering flowers and incense. A kind of rice dumpling called ohagi, flavored with sweet bean paste or soybean flour, is also placed before the graves.

彼岸と盆 仏教では現実世界を「此岸」と呼び悟りの世界を「彼岸」と呼ぶ。彼岸とは、年に二回ある、7日間の仏教徒の法事(宗教的な行事)で、二つの期間の真ん中、すなわち春分(3月21日前後)と秋分(9/23前後)にあたる。この2日間は、太陽は赤道上を通り、昼と夜の長さが等しくなる。 彼岸の間、日本人には、太陽が沈む西側の「あの世」にいると信じている先祖に敬意を表する古くからの習慣がある。人々は家族のお墓を訪れ、それらをきれいにし、花や線香を供えることで死者に対する敬意を表する。おはぎと呼ばれる、あんこやきなこの味のする、一種の米を練ったものもまた墓の前に供えられる。

2. Adopted assumptions and basic equations We consider two planetesimals revolving around the proto-Sun (being called the Sun). Here we assume that the mass of the one of these, which hereafter is called a protoplanet or simply a planet, is much larger than that of the other (being called a particle). We also assume that the planet moves circularly around the Sun without the influence of gravity of the particle. Furthermore, each orbit of the particle is limited in the ecliptic plane of the planetary orbit. Under these assumptions, the particle motion is simply given by a solution to the plane circular RTB problem. よろしくお願いします。

Americans tend to move from the specific and small to the general and large. They progress from personal and local issues to the state and finally to the nation ― not the other way around. Many other people tend to move the other way : it is more comfortable for them to state with a general ro universal idea and then narrow it down to specific facts. The difference between two approaches is subtle and usually unrecognized in daily life. actually, however ,it lies at the root of many everyday misunderstandings and irritations among people of different cultures 長々とすいません。辞書無しで問題を解いてから辞書ありで熟読するという よく言われる英語の勉強方法のあとのほうで分からなくなってしまいました。 法政大学の過去問なのですが、第１段落でアメリカ人について。第２段落で その他の民族について。その次の第３段落でこの２者間について述べているのだ ろうとは思うのですがnot the other way aroundの前についているダッシュ 等分からない所が多々あります。 回答お願いします。

和訳をお願いします。 Shishmaref is located on a tiny island in the Bering sea. To the east you can see the mainland of Alaska. I arrived in season when there in on night - the time of the midnight sun. I often watched the sun start to set and then rise again. The village had only about two hundred people, and I probably met them all in my first two or three days. The young people spoke English, but the older people used Eskimo all the time. I tried to learn a little of the Eskimo language every day, dut it was very difficult. The first thing I learned to say was, " I'm hungry." Their life was very simple and natural. As you may know, Alaska has many wild animals which the Eskimos hunt. These provide them with meat, oil, and skins for clothing. One day when we went hunting, I saw my first grizzly bear. It was majestic. This was the most vivid experience of my first stay in Shishmaref.

A raindrop falling in a pond produces perfect circles of waves that expand indefinitely until canceled by the friction of the shore or by the perfect circles made by other raindrops. When viewed from above, the branches of a tree form circles around their trunk, in an attempt to achieve optimal surface area for soaking in the sun's rays. Even planets and stars try to from circles and spheres in space, although gravity and spinning forces push and pull their pure mathematical curves into the complex forms we see in nature.

In 1684,through computations by Picard,the earth's exact circumference was determined for the first time .Using the French astronomer's data,Newton applied the principle of gravitation to prove that the power which guides the moon around the earth and the planets around the sun is the force of gravity. The force varies directly with the mass of the attracted bodies and inversely as the square of their distances. Newton went on to show that this account for the elliptical orbits of the planets. The pull of graviy kept the moon and planets in their paths,balancing the centrifugal forces of their motions. Again,Newton failed to reveal his phenomenal discovery of nature's greatest secret. As it happened,however,other scientists were engaged in a search for a solution of the same problem. Several astronomer had suggested that the planets were bound to the sun by the force of gravity. Among these was Robert Hooke,Newton's severest and most persistent critic.But none of the theorists had been able to offer mathematical proof.By now Newton had won considerable reputation as a mathematician,and he was visited at Cambridge by the astoronomer Edmund Halley who requested his help.When Halley atated the problem,he learned that it had been solved two years before by Newton .Further,Newton had worked out the principal laws of motion of bodies moving under the force of gravity.Charatecteristically,through,Newton had no intention of publishing his findings.

As they race down the highway of their life, like so many other characters in so many other movies, they are forced to come to grips with themselves, find out who they really are, and ultimately take responsibility for their lives and actions. Thelma & Louise is a road movie, yes, but it's really a journey of enlightenment, a journey of self-discovery. And it begins with the incident, the hub of the wheel of action. 考えてはみたものの、英語がかなり苦手で和訳できませんでした。 よろしくお願いします。

The Composite Brigade were to make for a position two miles (3.2 km) to the north-east of the Turkish defences. The New Zealand Brigade were to advance directly at the position. The 3rd Light Horse Brigade would stay in contact with the New Zealanders, then move behind the Turkish position, and locate around five miles (8.0 km) to the east of it, hindering any withdrawal and compromise their lines of communications. While the 5th Mounted Brigade would form the reserve. The Turkish position at Bir el Abd, consisted of well constructed trenches and redoubts. That looked down on the approach routes, that any British force would use. They had used the time since arriving well, recovering from their defeat in the previous days, to replenish their supplies and had been reinforced.

長いと思うので、簡単な感じでも大丈夫です。 冷やかし無しでお願いします。 勉強不足ですみません・・・。 The initial proposition is, then, that administration is an identifiable activity, that it differs from the actual buying, selling, processing, or transporting of the goods, and that in the large industrial enterprise the concern of the executives is more with administration than with the performance of functional work. In a small firm, the same man or group of men buy materials, sell finished goods, and supervise manufacturing as well as coordinate, plan, and appraise these different functions. In a large company, however, administration usually becomes a specialized, full-time job. A second proposition is that the administrator must handle two types of administrative tasks when he is coordinating, appraising, and planning the activities of the enterprise. At times he must be concerhed with the long-run health of his company, at other times with its amooth and efficient day-to-day operation. The first type of activity calls for concentration on long-term planning and appraisal, the second for meeting immediate problems and needs and for handling unexpected contingencies or crises. To be sure, in real life the distinction between these two types of activities or decisions is often not clear cut. Yet some decisions clearly deal very largely with defining basic goals and the course of action and procedures necessary to achieve these goals, while other decisions have more to do with the day-to-day operations carried out within the broader framework of goals, policies, and procedures.

There are therefore 192 subjects(forty per cent of the sample) whose happiness and domestic efficiency are to a greater or lesser extent dependent on the ready accessibility of their children or other relatives. No solution of the problems of old age will be acceptable to the people themselves or to their children which does not take the family factor into account. King, Sir Geoffrey, formerly Permanent Secretary, Ministry, of Pensions and National Insurance, "Policy and Practice", Old Age in the Modern World, 1995. Studies in other places such as Hammersmith, Acton, and Northern Ireland have also produced some evidence of close ties between old people and their relatives and of a willingness to bear the burden of nursing care. But the evidence gained in these inquiries was incidental to their main purposes. There has been no specialized study of the place of the old person in the family. Yet such detailed knowledge may be fundamental to any understanding of old age or of its problems. That is the starting point of this study. How often do old people see their children and their brothers and sisters, and do they live near or far? What services do relatives perform for each other every day and at times of crisis? What is the differences in family role of an old man and an old woman? Can a more precise meaning be given to loneliness and social isolation and what does it mean to be widowed, single, or childless? Is the status of old people undergoing change? Which old people make the greatest demand on the State aid or replace the efforts of the family? These are some of the questions which will be discussed in this report.
