My husband is a high-ranking officer in the military. He has worked hard to achieve his current position and is highly respected. The problem is, his family treats him like a child. In a few months, there will be a formal ceremony to mark his change of command. My in-laws will be in attendance, and they are certain to embarrass him. They insist on calling him by his unusual childhood nickname (he cringes every time). They talk down to him and give him gifts meant for children, such as books for teen boys (last Christmas), a small child's backpack (last birthday) and now a child's piggy bank, which they intend to present to him in front of his unit at the ceremony. These gifts are not intended as jokes. My husband is always gracious on the outside but horrified on the inside. Is there some way to remind his family that he is indeed an adult and has certainly earned the right to be treated like one? -- Proud Military Spouse Dear Spouse: It is difficult to change ingrained behavior without the cooperation of all the people involved. Your husband apparently has determined that the best way to handle his parents is to leave things as they are. That is his choice. While we appreciate your desire to be supportive and protective, you might also be adding to his stress because your reaction is one of anger and embarrassment. one of anger and embarrassmentのoneは何を指しているのでしょうか?よろしくお願いします

>one of anger and embarrassmentのoneは何を指しているのでしょうか? ⇒このoneは reaction「反応」を受ける不定代名詞です。「~の一つ、~のそれ」。 ☆「あなたは(家族から子供扱いされる彼を)支持し保護したいと望んでいることは評価しますが、あなたの反応は《怒りと恥ずかしさの一つ・それ(反応)》なので、彼にとってはそれもストレスを加えることになるかも知れません。」

意訳かも知れませんが”one of”を”ある意味”と解釈すれば判りやすいかと思います。 あなたもまた、彼にストレスを与えているかも知れない。なぜならあなたの態度はある意味怒りや困惑であるから。

I became disabled a few years ago. We have a younger child, a 16-year-old, and my main concern right now is protecting him. Robert is technically still my husband but is never around; he calls just to make sure I'm taking care of his stuff. He will be 59 1/2 in a few months, and he's planning on taking the money in his 401(k) and leaving us all. Robert and I have properties. He promised that each child would be added to the deed of one place. taking the money in his 401(k)は「401(k)(という年金)のお金をもらう」ということでしょうか? ここでのpropertiesの意味を教えてください。 deed of one placeとはどのような意味でしょうか? 以上、よろしくお願いします

I saw my boss kissing a man who is not her husband in an alley on my way home from work and saw the two of them going into a hotel the next week. She has a young kid and is married to a great guy. We live a couple of blocks away from them, and her husband and kid often bring us cookies they’ve made or invite us over for barbecues. When one of my own kids shattered his leg and I was away, my boss’s husband drove him to the hospital and waited by his bed for six hours until I could get there. shattered his legはどのような意味でしょうか?よろしくお願いします

He can amuse and entertain children, and becomes more extrovert and dramatic when playing with them or talking to them. He will exaggerate and put on a show. He will be a happy and generous father or uncle to any children he has. Though they may not see him as he is, just the act he puts on for them. In the past your partner would have had romances in his life, that will have seemed to set his soul on fire. But you will be his most important, his greatest and deepest love of all time.

My husband of 28 years has been having long, intimate text conversations with his father's hospice nurse for several months while they both are caring for my dying father-in-law. My husband does this for hours every day. I have told them that I would like one of them to stop working with my father-in-law. Neither has been willing. His whole family is standing behind this relationship and feels the two of them are wonderful for each other and a new start would be great because both are in "loveless" marriages. It is clear to me that they want to be together. They have expressed deep love for each other and have been intimate. I am brokenhearted and want out. My marriage has always been stressful and occasionally abusive. We were hanging in there, but by a string. This just seals the deal. Today, one sister is going to ask the nurse to step down. 1 want outは「関わりたくない」でしょうか?あと、by a stringは「かろうじて」でしょうか? 2 This just seals the deal.の意味を教えてください。 3 step downは「身を引く」でしょうか? 以上、よろしくお願いします

I have been married for 15 years. My husband and I still live under the same roof (for convenience), but we have drifted our separate ways. The problem is, our teenage son cannot stand to be in the same room with his father. All they do is argue, and my husband pouts like a baby, bottom lip and all. I have asked our son to try to ignore Dad in order to keep the peace, but it is getting worse. This man, who wanted to have a child, has spent little time with our son over the years. When I was working and he had to watch our son, he would have his parents come over, and then he and his father would leave, letting my mother-in-law babysit. On weekends, he managed never to be home. he managed never to be homeはどのような意味でしょうか?よろしくお願いします

高校2年の教科書の文章です。原典は、John Bowlbyの「Maternal care and mental health」です。 http://whqlibdoc.who.int/bulletin/1951/Vol3/Vol3-No3/bulletin_1951_3(3)_415-533.pdf の419ページあたりです。 The attachment of children to parents who by all ordinary standards are very bad is a never-ceasing source of wonder to those who seek to help them. Even when they are with kindly foster parents these children feel their roots to be in the homes where, perhaps, they have been neglectec and ill-treated, and keenly resent criticisms directed against their parents. Efforts made to 'save' the child from his bad surroundings and to give him new standards are commonly of no avail since it is his own parents who, for good or ill, he values and with whom he is identified. (This is a fact of critical importance when considering how best to help children who are living in intolerable home conditions). These sentiments are not surprising when it is remembered that, despite much neglect, one or other parent has almost always and in countless ways been kind to him from the day of his birth onwards, and, however much the outsider sees to criticize, the child sees much to be grateful for. At least his parents have cared for him after a fashion all his life, and not until someone else has shown herself equally or more dependable has he reason to trust her. 4番目の文章までは、大体「どのような環境で育っても、子供にとって実の親への愛情が あるので、悪い環境から子供を救おうとしても無駄だ」という意味だろうと思います。 5番目の文章から構文が判りません。 1) Theseはなにをさしているのでしょうか。前文でしたら、( )内でThis で受けているので、 Thisになるのではないでしょうか。 2) surprising は他動詞なのに目的語が見当たりません。 3) 前文までは、生みの親に無視されて育った子供の話ですが、急に生まれたときから 可愛がってきた親の話に変わっていて、つながりがよくわかりません。 4) despite much neglectとparent has been kind to him from the day of his birth onwards の関係がわかりません。 6番目の文章も構文が判りません。 5) all his life の名詞句の位置づけがわかりません(S,O,C)。 6) herself はなにを指しているのでしょうか。 7) 最後の has he reason to trust her がまるでわかりません。 よろしくお願いします。

And from the sound of an engine on a wiretap, he can discern whether a suspect is driving a Peugeot, a Honda or a Mercedes. Van Loo is one of Europe's newest weapons in the global fight against terrorism, drug trafficking and organized crime: a blind Sherlock Holmes, whose disability allows him to spot clues sighted detectives don't see. "Being blind has forced me to develop my other senses, and my power as a detective rests in my ears," he said from his office at the Belgian Federal Police. Van Loo, who has been blind since birth, is one of six blind police officers in a pioneering unit that specializes in transcribing and analyzing wiretap recordings in criminal investigations So acute is his sense of hearing that Paul van Thielen, a director at the Belgia Federal Police, compares his powers of observation to those of a "superhero." When police eavesdrop on a terrorist suspect making a phone call, van Loo can listen to the tones dialed and immediately identify the number. From the sound of a voice echoing off of a wall, he can deduce whether a suspect is speaking from an airport lounge or a crowded restaurant. After the Belgian police recently spent hours struggling to identify a drug smuggler on a faint wiretap recording, they concluded he was Moroccan. Van Loo, who has a "library of accents" in his head, listened and deduced he was Albanian, a fact confirmed after his arrest. "I have had to train my ear to know where I am. It is a matter of survival to cross the street or get on a train," he said. Besides his keenly developed ears, van Loo is also a trained translator who speaks seven languages, including Russian and Arabic a skill that makes him indispensable, since his knowledge of accents can help him differentiate between, say, an Egyptian and a Moroccan suspect. “At first when members of the police heard that blind people were coming to work here, they laughed and told me they were a police force and not a charity," said van Thielen. "But attitudes changed when the blind officers arrived and showed their determination to work hard and be useful." A father of two, van Loo attributes his success to having parents who taught him at an early age to be independent. He recalls that as a young child, his father, a big movie fan, took him to watch movies. His father also taught him to drive a car by putting him on his lap and guiding his hands on the steering wheel. My parents accepted my blindness, which also helped me to accept it," he said. "That they did not avoid risks also helped

In old age, in contrast, the usual cause of losing a spouse is death, and the death is likely to be gradual in onset. Consequently, in principle an old person should have time to prepare for the crisis of losing a spouse, who has become ill. In practice, it turns out that the warning signs are seldom heeded; after all, as pointed out earlier, we are not given the kinds of training-socialization-that would prepare us to meet normal life crises. Consequently, loss of a spouse in old age may be as psychologically sudden in onset as in early adulthood, in effect. お願いします。
