１。「９０００年以上前に高知県の遺跡から蕎麦の実の花粉が発見された」 というのが原文ですが、この原文を見て発見した時が九千年以上前と思う人はいないでしょう。ところが英訳はそうも読めます。 また花粉が flour になっていますが、これは（蕎麦などの）粉のことで、下記のように pollen にしないと誤解を招きます。 https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=pollen 英訳では「高知県の廃墟」となり「コーチケンという荒れ果てたお城」のようです。ここでは archaeological site と一語付け加えたほうがいいように思います。 In Kochi Prefecture (on the island of Shikoku) at a site dated more than 9,000 years ago archaeologists found some buckwheat pollen とも。 ２。第二文 Soba was a familiar plant and food.＞ Buckwheat became a part of daily food.とも ３。第三文 a は要りません。 ４。第四文 At that time, they were eating buckwheat grains as we eat rice gruel today without grinding them into flour. とも。 ５。第六文 原文は「その調理方法は現在と違い蒸していた」ですが。 That cooking method was different from what it was today.ですと最後の一番大切なところが抜けています。 Unlike today's cooking method of boiling the noodles were steamed in the Edo period. とも。 ６。第十文 ご当地そばには「にしんそば」などがある、が原文ですが There is a place like [Shin-soba] near here. では誤訳です。 「にしん」は鰊で、下記のようにかけそばに身欠き鰊の甘露煮を乗せたものです。鰊は北海道が原産ですが「鰊蕎麦」は京都でできたという説もあります。 http://soba-ya.com/syokuzai/1380.html ニシンそばは、下記などをごらんください。 https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=%E3%83%8B%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3%E3%81%9D%E3%81%B0&tbm=isch&source=hp&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjs5vX1s7DkAhUOW60KHXMNBtAQsAR6BAgEEAE&biw=1920&bih=852 One of the regional specialty soba is "Nishin-soba" with a herring in it. とも。 https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%e9%b0%8a ７。他に色々訳し方があるでしょうから、これはほんの一例です。

Iceland is a country where a consumption tax is the highest. It is 25.5%. There are three kinds of consumption taxes of Sweden. The highest tax rates of them are 25%. A publication and public traffic are 6% and food is the tax rates of 12%. But, Japan has not divided the consumption tax like Sweden.

Japan was started the consumption tax in 1989. At first, it was 3%. Later, it changed 5% in 1997. Then, it is still 5%. But, it will go up in the future.

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.

Post war economic boomについての文です。 Many Americans feared that the end of World War II and the subsequent drop in military spending might bring back the hard times of the Great Depression. But instead, pent-up consumer demand fueled exceptionally strong economic growth in the post-war period.

英文の和訳で困っています。 和訳を教えていただきたいです。 よろしくお願いします！！ The entrance steps of the Capitolium were rebuilt with flanking bastions which may have supported statues of the Dioscuri, sons of Juiper, and the altar was reset on a raised platform in the centre of the temple steps, where it is shown blazing at the time of the earthquake in a relief on the lararium of L.Caecilius Iucundus. But the cult title Victrix –the Victorious–with which Sulla worshipped the goddess was not used at Pompeii, presumably because it evoked Sulla’s bloody victory over the Samnites in the wars of the late 80s. In the precinct of Apollo the gaps between the piers that connected the sanctuary with the forum were filled in and the area was reshaped as the colonnaded courtyard visible today. The three main temples–the Capitolium, the Temple of Apollo and the Temple of Venus, were all embellished in the Augustan period or shortly afterwards. The cult became very popular, to judge by the number of graffiti that allude to it, and Pompeii became well known as the city of Venus.

cantaerbury lies about 100km southeast of london in the county of kent,and is one of england's major tourist sites. the main reason so many people gp there is too see canterbury cathedral,one of england's most famous churches and the headquarters of the anglican church. the city of canterbury played a crucial role in the history of christianity in england. the anglo-saxons,who settled in britain from the 6th century,were not originally christian. around that time,the catholic church sent many missionaries to convert these people. one of these missionaries,st.augustine,arrived near canterbury in the 6th century,and was welcomed by the local saxon king. st.augustine set up a church there that eventually became the cathedral. in the 12th century,an event occurred that changed the history of canterbury. king henry II of england became involved in a dispute with thomas a becket,the archbishop of canterbury. some knights overheard the king complaining about the archbishop. in order to win the king's favour,they murdered the archbishop in the cathedral. the archbishop's shrine at canterbury subsequently became a popular destination for pilgrims. this development gave rise to the first major work of english literature,the canterbury tales by geoffrey chaucer,who lived in the 14th century. by this time,the canterbury pilgrimages had become a popular feature of english life. some people went for religious reasons,but others went because the journer provided a welcome break from life's routines as well as a chance to meet new people. the pilgrims wouldusually gather in london before setting off on foot or on horseback on their journey,which naturally took several days. chaucer used this journey as a framework for his stories. he took a group of typical characters,and had each of them tell a story to help entertain their travelling companions as they made their journey to canterbury. through these stories,chaucer shows us that he was humourist,a philosopher and an accurate observer of human psychology. even today,we can read these stories of love,deceit,pride and ambition from the 14th century,and find the characters familiar. chaucer's genius was to create real-life characters,giving a vivid portrayal of their strengths and weaknesses. chaucer gives us a virtual snapshot of life in mediaeval england that is invaluable to our understanding of the period.
