おはようございます。要約問題は、自分ではまだまだだと思っておりましたが、お褒め頂きまして、びっくりしています。本日も、よろしくお願い致します。
原文： Every one has heard people quarrelling. Sometimes it sounds funny and sometimes it sounds merely unpleasant; but however it sounds, I believe we can learn something very important from listening to the kind of things they say. They say things like this: “How’d you like it if anyone did the same to you?” -- “That’s my seat, I was there first.” -- “Leave him alone, he isn’t doing you any harm” -- “Why should you shove in first?” -- “Give me a bit of your orange, I gave you a bit of mine” -- “Come on, you promised.” People say things like that every day, educated people as well as uneducated, and children as well as grown-ups.
Now what interests me about all these remarks is that the man who makes them is not merely saying that the other man’s behaviour does not happen to please him. He is appealing to some kind of standard of behaviour which he expects the other man to know about. And the other man very seldom replies: “To hell with your standard.” Nearly always he tries to make out that what he has been doing does not really go against the standard, or that if it does there is some special excuse. He pretends there is some special reason in this particular case why the person who took the seat first should not keep it, or that things were quite different when he was given the bit of orange, or that something has turned up which lets him off keeping his promise. It looks, in fact, very much as if both parties had in mind some kind of Law or Rule of fair play or decent behaviour or morality or whatever you like to call it, about which they really agreed. And they have.

If they had not, they might, of course, fight like animals, but they could not quarrel in the human sense of the word. Quarrelling means trying to show that the other man is in the wrong. And there would be no sense in trying to do that unless you and he had some sort of agreement as to what Right and Wrong are; just as there would be no sense in saying that a footballer had committed a foul unless there was some agreement about the rules of football.
解答(要約): People's quarrelling sometimes sounds funny and merely unpleasant. However, you can obtain <the>(→some) important things from their battle. You can observe conflict among various kinds of people every day, and it appears to last forever.
However, it does not mean that the other man’s behaviour makes him unpleasant. It is <mere>(→a mere) standard of behaviour that he wants the other man to understand about it. However, he insists that what he has been doing should not <violation of>(→violate) <manners>(→his manners) and tries to excuse his shameful act. It looks, in fact, both parties understood rules and regulations.
If they had not, they might, of course, <angry>(→get angry) fiercely because they try to distinguish between good and wrong by quarrelling. Unless there is <understanding>(→an understanding) between one <onother(→another), it will make it difficult to get to know each other. That is like the rules of football.

回答(添削)： 今回も、ちょっとした文法上の誤りや、スペルを除くと、大変よく纏まった要約になっています。この調子で、続けていくうちに、英語そのものも上達するし、要約のコツも飲み込めるようになることでしょう。英作文の続きと思って、頑張ってください。
