あまり変わり映えしませんが、以下のとおりお答えします。 ＞For middle‐class Americans, the 1950s were a time of prosperity. ⇒完璧ですが、「理解ぶり」を示すために、ちょっとだけ変えますか（苦笑）。 →The 1950s were a prosperous time for middle‐class Americans. ＞Americans had more discretionary income, and they spent it on cars, homes, television sets, and other household appliances. ⇒これも完璧ですが、ちょっとだけ変えますか（照れ笑）。特に、discretionary income「可処分所得」なんていうなじみの薄い語は、real income「実所得」か何かにしましょう。 →They had more real income and spent it on cars, homes, television sets, and other household appliances. ＞A lot of people in America feel an "affluent society", while poverty was more widespread, and the struggle for civil rights by minorities, particularly African‐Americans, became a national concern. ⇒feelを使うならfeltになりますが、ここはやはりenjoyed「享受した」がいいでしょう。andの前と後の関連性を持たせるために、poor minoritiesとすることをお勧めします。 →Many Americans enjoyed a "rich society", while poverty was more widespread, and the struggle for civil rights by poor minorities, particularly African‐Americans, became a national concern.

⇨以降の文が文法的に、もしくは、それだとちょっと省きすぎ、などあれば教えて欲しいです。 最後の文の feel は、過去（1950年代）のことですから felt になさった方がいいと思います。
お礼
回答ありがとうございます。 そうですね。過去のことなのでfeltに変えないとダメでした。 参考になりました。ありがとうございます

アメリカの1950年の消費文化(consumer culture)についての文です。 The American manufacturing economy switched from producing war-related items to consumer goods such as appliances and automobiles at the end of World War II. To help create jobs for the tens of thousands of soldiers returning to the workforce from the war and build on the country's newfound economic prosperity, the government, along with businesses and marketing firms, began a campaign to stir up consumer activity. U.S. politicians argued that widespread ownership of more possessions would create greater social equality, thereby proving the superiority of the market system. Consumerism, therefore, acted as a function of the drive to defeat communism. ⇨The American manufacturing economy switched from producing war-related items to consumer goods such as appliances and automobiles at the end of World War II.

日本語⇨ ワシントン大行進はAfrican Americansが行った運動でしたが、初めにも述べたように、これは人種に関わらず、マイノリティーや白人も含んだ抑圧された人々のための自由と仕事を求める運動でした。 しかし、ワシントン大行進はAfrican Americansのみと制限されていきました。 そのことに批判する人がいた、と彼は述べているが、（その通りだと思う / その考えに賛成だ）。 黒人のみで結成され、白人を受け入れないと言う行為こそ、差別に当たるからだ。 英語⇨ The March on Washington led by African Americans leader, I mentioned at the beginning, this is the movement for jobs and freedom for other oppressed minorities including whites, regardless of race. However, the March on Washington was limiting African Americans. He described some people criticized that, I agree with this idea. It is because that it was formed only African Americans and not accepted white people are discrimination. すみません、少し長いのですが…。 こちらの文章を添削して欲しいです。よろしくお願いします。m(_ _)m

Joseph MaCarthyについてです。 Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He is known for alleging that numerous Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry, and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. ⇨Beginning in 1950, McCarthy, fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion in Cold War tensions.

以下の英文を和訳していただけるかたに、 お願いできますでしょうか？ 何卒よろしくお願いします。 Saturn in the seventh celestial house traditionally means, Marriage will be delayed but once married it endures the test of time. In the long term the marriage is colder, not unhappy. As he gets older he gets more serious, and undemonstrative, more plain and slovenly, mean and penny pinching. Time deteriorates him, you may feel he goes down hill over the years., becomes reserved and more sullenly introverted, but still sincere. More shabby thrifty downcast and self centred, careful industrious and will have concerns or fears over his financial affairs. Shy and inhibited in early life he would have experienced drudgery, hardship and poverty then, but material success or improvements began through his own hard efforts and ambitions later in life. The older he gets the more money and influence and power he gains, but then he seems to slide back. There will be may be obstacles to the marriage or relationship between you initially. Things will happen much more slowly than you really want. In his own life he it will seem to him that things have always happened slow, or at a later time for him than for most people, that his struggle has been harder and longer. Including the struggle to find love. The courtship and wedding ceremony may come within a two year period of sorrows and tragedies in the soul mates life. It will be not be lavish but it will be a nice ceremony., that feels exactly right for you. This will be a lasting marriage. He is a partner for whom marriage and love become a duty and commitment. With Saturn in the seventh house it is generally more favorable for marriages later in life than in youth. But if you become unhappy or tire of this union and then wish to be free of it. It will be in your own hands to separate and divorce. Divorce will not follow if the action for it rests in the hand of the soul mate.

Positive Influences Although the initial reaction to the increased strength of the Japanese economy was negative, there have since been many positive effects on the Japanese-American relationship. Most important of all, it has for the first time allowed americans to identify with Japan, and forced Americans to under-stand Japan as a real country. When America was dominant or in conflict, it was easy to dismiss Japan with superficial stereotypes. Before the introduction of high-quality consumer goods into the american market Japan had been a remote, exotic, psychologi-cally inaccessible place most amercans. It was, now Americans found themselves forced to compete directly with the Japanese and to understand them. That, in a sense, has made the Japanese less exotic, more immediate, and, in some ways, more Western. Americans perceived similarities as they were forced to get to know the Japanese better, especially in the superficialities of urban life --clothing, food, environ-ment, daily commute. The rapidly increasing number of Americans who traveled to Japan for business and pleasure noted the similarities they found. These were partly a result of the Americanization of Japan since the occupation and partly the similarities that exist between any two industrially developed countries.
