hold it
I am having an issue with our 13-year-old bichon frise and am hoping that you can point me in the right direction. We adopted our dog when he was 1 year old, and he was house-trained. Until recently, our work schedule allowed us to walk him three times a day. Midsummer, my husband changed jobs, and we now are able to walk him only twice a day. It had not been an issue until recently. For the past two months, he has been going in the house nearly every day while we are at work. We have consulted the vet, and our dog was medically cleared. The vet suggested we sedate him during the day with a mild sedative, saying that should decrease the accidents. I have a few issues. I do not believe that it's right to sedate our dog just because he cannot hold it any longer. ここでのhold itはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

ここでのhold itはどのような意味でしょうか？ 下記の５、to contain control over に相当すると思います。 https://www.thefreedictionary.com/hold 便意を抑制する、と言う意味で「もはや排便を抑えることができないからと言って、我々の犬に鎮痛剤を与えるのはどうかと思う」と言うことでしょう。 sedate は、鎮静剤とか鎮痛剤の作用だけでなく「眠らせる薬」という安楽死に至らせる薬品投与の婉曲表現なので、嫌われている可能性もあります。 https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=sedate

house-trainedが犬をやたらなところで放尿させないように訓練された、という意味。 それをふまえると、 going in the house は家でおしっこする。 それが問題なので、 hold it は、おしっこを我慢する。

おトイレを我慢するという意味のHoldだと思います。itが具体的に文章の中に出ていませんが、“accident”と言っている点からトイレを我慢するのHold itだと思います。

＞ここでのhold itはどのような意味でしょうか？ ⇒「（犬が）それ（鎮静剤）に耐える・持ちこたえる（ことができない）」。 小型犬のビション・フリーゼで、しかも13歳と老犬ですので、毎日鎮静剤を与えて運動機能を抑制することで1日３回の散歩を２回以下に抑えていますが、おそらく、老犬の体（脳や内臓）が耐えられないのではないか、副作用（神経機能の減退など）の悪影響でどうにかなるのではないか、というようなことが心配なので鎮静剤をやめようか、どうしたらいいか、という相談のようですね。

- shove it in his face
I just got a rather large promotion at work that I’ve been working toward for a long time. At first my fiancé gave me a half-hearted congrats and insisted he was happy for me. But over the course of a few days, he became depressed, angry, and starting taking jabs at me for no reason. I finally asked what the issue was and he admitted that he was jealous of my promotion. He has a great job, and while I will make fairly more money than he does, I always have made more money. His job has predictable hours and much better benefits. When he was promoted a while back I was genuinely happy for him—I saw it as our success, not just his. He sees this as a competition that he has lost. It hurts a lot because I want him to be happy for me. I don’t gloat or shove it in his face, shove it in his faceはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

After our boss reported his work to him, he took a joke, ‘the man who gave me this info told me that this is so expensive.’ This word aroused him and yelled. Then he himself called on the man who said it and clamed about it like child in the presence of us. It was really unbelievable scene. There is a problem wherever he is.

My husband and I agreed not to give each other gifts for Valentine’s Day, so I bought him nothing. He bought a few small items and left them on the counter for me to find when I got home after 8 p.m. I tried to joke it off by saying, “I thought we agreed to not buy gifts.” His retort was snotty: “So I’m guilty of getting you something nice. I’m sorry.” After putting the kids in bed, an argument ensued. I told him I appreciated the thought behind the gift and thanked him for it, but shared that it makes me feel guilty for not reciprocating. He continued to apologize for buying something. I want him to understand that I’m hurt that he reneged on our agreement, not that he bought something. (This isn’t a financial issue.) I know it is nuanced and I seem ungracious, but he doesn’t see the difference. ここでのnuancedはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

John Galsworthyという作家の『ＴHE CHOICE』という物語を読んでいるのですが、 訳の添削と質問の個所の回答をお願い致します。 *"The 'house ain't for a man that respects himself," he would remark. And, since that was his conviction, such as respected themselves could not very well beg him to act against it. At the same time, it became increasingly difficult to pass him without wondering how much longer it would be before he finally sought shelter in the element of water, which was so apt to pour down on him day by day. （the element of water＝「四大元素の一つ（自然の力）としての水」：本の注釈より） (1) such as respected themselvesが訳出できませんでした。 And, since that was his conviction, such as respected themselves could not very well beg him to act against it. の英文の構造はどのようになっているのでしょうか？ (2) how much longer it would beのitはhis convictionですか？ (3) which was so apt to pour down on him day by dayについて whichの先行詞はwaterですか？ (4) pour down on himは「彼にどんどん流れ出る」ですか？ 意味がわかりにくいです。 ＜訳＞ 「救貧院は自尊心を持つ人間のためにあるものではない」と彼は述べていたものでした。そして、それは彼の信念だったのでそれに反して行動することを彼に請い求めることはあまりよくできませんでした。同時に、彼が自然の力としての水に保護をついに探し出す前に、そしてそれは日に日にややもすれば彼にどんどん流れ出るようだったのですが、それがどのくらいより長いことになるか疑問に思うことなく彼を見過ごすことは、ますます難しくなっていきました。 よろしくお願い致します。 前文です。 He was so entirely fixed and certain that he was "going in the river" before he went "in the 'house," that one hesitated to suggest that the time was at hand when he should cease to expose himself all day and every day. He had evidently pondered long and with a certain deep philosophy on this particular subject, and fortified himself by hearsay.

- 下の英文で間違っているところ、不自然な表現、あまり聞かない表現などがあ
下の英文で間違っているところ、不自然な表現、あまり聞かない表現などがあればおしえてください。 One Saturday evening my boyfriend Hiroshi and I went to a concert. On our way to a concert hall, we met a foreigner having(carrying?) a traveling bag. He was looking around for something with a map in his hand. He seemed at a loss for which way to go. Then I went up and talked to him. He told me he was looking for a hotel, showing me the map.I I knew where the hotel was and suggested to him that I take him there. Hiroshi seemed worried about whether we could arrive before the starting time for a concert. But I couldn't leave him as he was a total stranger here and couldn't understand Japanese at all. We walked to the hotel for a while, and arrived there. He deeply thanked me and we separated. Meanshile, Hiroshi seemed so irritated because it was almost seven o'clock when the concert was scheduled to begin. After leaving the hotel, we went to the concert hall in a hurry. When we got to the hall, it was fifteen minutes past seven. Unfortunately we were not allowed to enter the inside by a hall clerk. Naturally, Hiroshi got mad at me.
