off of the street は、前置詞+前置詞+名詞で、一つの前置詞で表しきれない時に二つ前置詞をつなげることがあり、この場合全体の訳は、 「アダポスツル・スペランタ病院は道路のあたりにいる迷い犬たちを連れ出して受け入れ、彼らに生涯のすみかを与える。」 off the street で道路から離して。off of the streetになると、道路のあたりから離して。ニュアンス的には道路そのものだけじゃなくて道路のあたり。それで上のように意訳しました。 ofは無くても成り立ちますが、まさに道路上を歩いている迷い犬を、道路から引き離して病院についれてった感じが強くなります。

「勘違い」があるかも知れないと思いましたので、あえてお答えします。 >The hospital, Adapostul Speranta, takes in stray dogs off of the street and gives them a home for life. ⇒動詞としてのstray off が念頭にあることによって勘違いしやすいですね。語句と構文を考えてみましょう。 (語句) ★takes in ~:「~を取り入れる、受け入れる、連れ込む」。 ★stray dogs :名詞句「野良犬」(=「迷子」+「犬」)。 ★off of ~:前置詞句「~から」(特にアメリカ英語の口語で多用される)。He took the magazine off of the table.「彼はテーブルからその雑誌を取った」(ライトハウス英和辞典)。 (訳文) 「アダポストゥル・スペランタ病院は、街路から野良犬を受け入れて住まいを与える。」 >なぜoff ofとなっているのでしょうか? ⇒上で見たとおり、off of という組み合わせの前置詞句として用いられているからです。 >of は必要なのでしょうか? ⇒of(またはoff)は「絶対」必要とはいえないかも知れません。すなわち、off(またはof)の、いずれか1方だけでも、文法上の間違いにはならないと思います。 つまり、takes in stray dogs off the street またはtakes in stray dogs of the streetで、いずれも「街路から野良犬を受け入れる」という意味を表わせるでしょう。

1。なぜoff ofとなっているのでしょうか?  この場合の of は、下記のように印欧語の語根*apo 「~から」に遡り、ゲルマン祖語の *ap 「~から」を通じた「~から離れて」という原義が残っているからです。  http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=of 2。of は必要なのでしょうか?  今は省略する場合もあります。off も同源ですから一種の重複とも考えられたのでしょう。

  • お手数ですが、次の英文を訳して下さい。

    [In] April 1916 – Everything is being hurried up. The big English flying school near our camp has been ordered to turn out as many pilots as quickly as possible and there is an average of eighteen planes in the air all day long, just over our heads. The din is indescribable, but the horses never look up, or otherwise take the slightest notice of the planes. The life of a pilot, computed in flying hours, is pitifully short; many of them are killed while learning. My wife is working as voluntary aid at a hospital in Ismailia, and she and her associates are constantly making shrouds for these boys that have perhaps made one little mistake in their first solo flight, and have paid for it with their lives. The army will do anything in reason for these youngsters. We are ordered to let them have riding–horses and we occasionally turn out quite a creditable hunt with Saluki hounds after jackals. — A. B. Paterson, Remounts Officer

In 1915, the Kingdom of Bulgaria joined the alliance.

    [英語→日本語]英語の翻訳をお願いします。 子供に勉強を教えてと言われたのですが、私にはさっぱりなので、分かる方は回答お願いします。 There are many stories of brave dogs. Some of them are about how dogs help or even save their masters, some of them are about how dogs travel great distances to find their families. One of the nicest stories is about John, a small black and white dog with big ears who lived in America. One August, John's family, the Bensons, went on holiday to California and, of course, took John with them. While they were on holiday, John got lost. The family spent the rest of their holiday looking for him but without success. At the end of their holiday, they sadly went back home to New York. Before they left, they put photographs of John in all the shop windows in the area. During the next six months John crossed the whole of America to find his family in New York. He walked over 2,000 miles or maybe he hid on trains and buses. Nobody knows how he did it. When John got to the Bensons' house, it was in the middle of winter and the family was away visiting some friends. The window of their neighbor's car was open, so John jumped in and went to sleep. That night, it snowed and snowed and it continued snowing for a week. When, finally, the neighbor took the snow off his car and looked inside, he saw a very thin, but very happy John. 以上です。長文になりますが、宜しくお願いします。
