前半を誤解しているから後半と繋がらないのだと思います。undocumented immigrants、直訳すると「証明書を所持していない移民」ですが、つまり「不法入国者」のことを穏当な表現としてこう言っているのです。既に1100万人から1200万人こういう人がいるということです。 後半は、この大量にいる不法入国者に市民権を与える方法を…ということです。

Social Security is mostly financed by a 12.4% payroll tax, split equally between employees and employers. This option would increase that rate by 1% to 13.4%, phased in over ten years. This increase would only apply to income under the current tax cap of $127,200. つまり「これは雇用主が従業員に支払う給与に対して１２.４％の税金が給与から引かれている（支払っている）」ということでしょうか？ しかし、給与額が127,200$を超えた場合い１％上げる、ということでしょうか？ わかる方よろしくお願いします。

The U.S. Navy currently has a fleet of 272 ships and is expected to increase that total to 308 ships in five years. This option would instead reduce the size of the fleet to 230 ships over the same timeframe. ここで言われているのは「５年間で272から308隻に戦艦（船隊？）を増やす予定だが、このオプションでは同じ５年間で230に戦艦を減らす」ということでしょうか？ 分かる方、間違っていれば訂正して欲しいです。 よろしくお願いします。

似たような内容の質問が続いてしまいすみません。 The Social Security normal retirement age is currently 66, and it is scheduled to gradually increase to 67 by two months per year starting in 2017. After it reaches 67 in 2022, this option would continue to increase the retirement age by two months per year so that it reaches 68 in 2028 (for people born in 1966 or later). ＊ The normal retirement age does not determine the earliest age at which people are eligible for Social Security benefits, which would still be 62, but rather determines when retirees would receive full benefits without a penalty for early retirement. このような英文があるのですが、「退職年齢を引き上げる（66→68, 2028年までに）」ということですよね？ The Normal以降がわからないのですが、これはどういうことが言われているのでしょうか？ （社会保障給付に関することが書かれていると思うのですが…） これを採用することで１０年後には60Billionドルの赤字が削減できているだろう、ということなのですが、なぜそうなるのでしょうか？（英文から読み取れる範囲で構いません） 分かる方、教えて欲しいです。 よろしくお願いします。

This option would take two steps to reduce Defense Department personnel spending. First, it would reduce currently planned Army active force levels by another 30,000. The current plan is to reduce end strength for the active force from 475,000 to 450,000, and this option would reduce it further to 420,000. In addition, it would replace military personnel working in support roles with civilians who generally cost less money to employ. この文章の後半（In addition, it would replace military personnel working in support roles with civilians who generally cost less money to employ.）なのですが、これはどういう意味でしょうか？ 兵士に民間人を置き換える？？ よくわからないので、分かる方訳して欲しいです。 よろしくお願いします。

To obtain his data on eminence, Galton made the reasonable but problematic assumption that high reputation is an accurate indicator of high ability. He then analysed the records of achievements and honours set out in three printed sources: a leading contemporary biographical handbook, Men of the Time; the obituary of the year 1868 published in The Times newspaper; and obituaries published in England going back into the past. If he were working today, he would no doubt have analysed lists of Nobel prize-winners, too. On this basis, Galton arbitrarily defined an 'eminent' person as someone who had achieved a position attained by only 250 persons in each million, that is one person in every 4,000.(He argued for this number poetically, since 4,000 is perhaps the number of stars visible to the naked eye on the most brilliant of starlit nights--'yet we feel it to be an extraordinary distinction to a star to be accounted as the brightest in the sky'.) An ’illustrious’ person--much rarer than an eminent one --was one in a million, even one in many millions. 'They are men whom the whole intelligent part of the nation mourns when they die; who have, or deserve to have, a public funeral; and who rank in future ages as historical characters.' As already noted, Galton left a 'genius' undefined. (Genius by Andrew Robinson) わからない個所を教えてください。 1）Galton arbitrarily defined an 'eminent' person as someone who had achieved a position attained by only 250 persons in each million, that is one person in every 4,000. ここはどうやって訳すのでしょうか？ ゴルトンは到達された地位を成し遂げたある人として”著名な”人を任意で定義しました、と前半部分は述べているように思うのですが、by only 250～がわかりません。 2）yet we feel it to be an extraordinary distinction to a star to be accounted as the brightest in the sky' itは何を指しているのですか？ to be accounted as the brightest in the skyの部分ですか？ 3) and who rank in future ages as historical characters. 最後の段落にある英文ですが、どのように読むのでしょうか？ 長文になってしまい、申し訳ありません。 よろしくお願いいたします。

To ponder interminably over the reason for one's own existence or the meaning of life in general seems to me, from an objective point of view, to be sheer folly. And yet everyone holds certain ideals by which he guides his aspiration and his judgment. The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle. (What I Believe by A. Einstein) 最後の英文の個所の意味がとれません。 a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle. 1）this basisはTo make a goal of comfort or happiness のことですか？ 2）～would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle. の意味がわからないのですが herd of cattleは「烏合の衆」という意味ですか？ この原則の上に立てられる倫理（道義）のシステムは烏合の衆にのみ十分であろう？ どんなことを言っているのでしょうか？ よろしくお願いいたします。

Currently, taxpayers can deduct the amount they donate to charity from their income tax bill, which provides an incentive for donations. This option would limit the deduction for charitable giving to the amount of contributions that exceed 2% of a taxpayer’s income. This would reduce the incentive for small charitable giving, but it would maintain incentives for people who give a greater portion of income to charity. ⇨前半で書かれていることは「慈善団体に寄付した金額を、所得税申告所に記入し、いくらか差し引くことができる。その控除額を２％に制限する」ということでしょか？ 後半がよくわからないのですが、「慈善寄付団体に納税する人が減るかもしれないが、寄付し続けてくれる人のやる気？を維持する」ということでしょうか？ こちらを訳してほしいです。 よろしくお願いします。

以下の英文についての質問です。 I was flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By the time we took off, there had been a 45 -minute delay and everybody on board was ticked. Unexpectedly, we stopped in Sacramento on the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be another 45-minute delay, and if we wanted to get off the aircraft, we would reboard in thirty minutes. Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind. I noticed him as I walked by and could tell he had flown before because his seeing eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. I could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him and, calling him by name, said, "Keith, we’re in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?" Keith replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs. Would you take him for me please?" Now picture this. All the people in the gate area came to a completely quiet standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a seeing eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses that day. People scattered not only trying to change planes but also trying to change airlines! 以下の箇所がわかりません。 *The flight attendant explained that there would be another 45-minute delay, and if we wanted to get off the aircraft, we would reboard in thirty minutes. 45分遅延します、もし航空機を降りたいなら30分でまた戻って来てください、というような意味ですか？ *3段落目のNow picture this. の意味がわかりません。 *The pilot was even wearing sunglasses that day.の意味するところがわかりません。パイロットはサングラスさえかけていた、、、 よろしくお願います。

Can the power/violence of the state be justified? という質問があり、下記のような内容の文章がありました。 Huemer calls the special moral status we grant to government the problem of political authority, and argues that such legitimacy is an illusion, that nobody can have a right to rule, nor can anybody have an obligation to obey. In the Anglo-American political tradition, the justification of state legitimacy comes from social contract theory. In this theory the violence of the state is justified by comparing it to the supposedly much greater violence in a state of nature. 質問の回答として According to the Anglo-American political tradition, justification of the legitimacy of the state comes from social contract theory.
