【質問 No. 24866】 have been waiting と、had been waiting の違いについて アップル 2024-05-28 06:09:16
 問題集の中に、

 I (    ) been waiting for you till five o'clock.

という問題があり、解答が、had だったのですが、have では、だめなのでしょうか。今が何時なのか、記載されていませんが、仮に、今が5時ちょうどだとしたら、have でも、成り立ちませんか?


【回答】
 ご質問の英文の意味は、「私は、あなたを、5時まで、待っていました」ということで、仮に、今5時だとしたら、日本語でも、このような表現はしないはずです。5時まで待っていた、ということは、今は5時を過ぎていることを示唆しているのです。ですから、英文としては、I <had been waiting> for you until five o'clock. とするのが、正しいのです。なお、till よりも、until の方が「口語的」なのです。

 素早い、ご回答をありがとうございました。立て続けになりますが、英文要約の添削をお願い致します。

[原文]  In the contemporary business landscape, green technologies are playing an increasingly crucial role. This shift is driven by a growing awareness of environmental issues and the need for sustainable practices. The integration of green technologies in business operations is not just an ethical decision but also a strategic one, fostering innovation and long-term profitability. Firstly, the adoption of renewable energy sources, like solar and wind power, is transforming energy management in businesses. These sustainable energy sources reduce reliance on fossil fuels, decreasing carbon footprints and operational costs. Companies are also investing in energy-efficient technologies, such as LED lighting and smart building systems, to optimize resource usage. This shift towards sustainable energy not only helps businesses in reducing environmental impact but also in achieving economic efficiency through lower utility costs.

 Secondly, green technology is revolutionizing waste management and resource utilization in businesses. Innovative recycling technologies and waste-to-energy systems are becoming integral in minimizing waste. Companies are increasingly adopting circular economy models, where products are designed for reuse and recycling, reducing resource depletion and environmental pollution. This approach not only contributes to sustainability but also opens up new business opportunities and markets, driving growth and innovation.





【回答】
 Lastly, the rise of green technology has led to the creation of new industries and job opportunities. The demand for sustainable products and services has spurred growth in sectors like renewable energy, sustainable construction, and eco-friendly product manufacturing. This economic shift is not only beneficial for the environment but also for the job market, creating a range of new career paths and fostering a skilled workforce in green technologies.

 However, the transition to green technologies in business is challenged by factors like the initial investment costs and the need for technical expertise. Despite these challenges, the long-term benefits of adopting sustainable practices outweigh the short-term hurdles, positioning businesses for future success in an increasingly environmentally-conscious market.

【質問 No. 24862】 as many について zoro 2024-05-27 18:53:17
 昨日も、ご添削を、ありがとうございました。旺文社のリスニングのテキストから、質問があります。

 As a result, a patient being tested for several possible conditions needs as many samples of blood drawn.

 インターネットで調べたのですが、as many は、make ten mistakes in as many pages 「10ページの間に、10個のミスを犯す」と、同じ使い方になるのでしょうか? as many は、先行する数詞と照応して、the same number of ~ と考えて良いのですか? また、後ろに、as が省略されているのでしょうか?

 よろしくお願い致します。


【回答】
 ご質問の英文の意味は、「その結果として、いくつかの考えられる症状の検査を受けている患者は、その症状の数だけの(採取された)血液サンプルが必要になります」ということで、as many とは、as many as the (number) of conditions 「症状の数と同じ数の(血液サンプル)」ということで、as many の後に、as the same number of (blood samples) が省略されているのです。


【質問 No. 24861】 日本語ができるか、と聞くときの言い方について abe 2024-05-27 11:36:26
 「日本語が、できるか」と聞くとき、どれが、適当ですか?

1. Do you speak Japanese?
2. Can you speak Japanese?
3. Are you conversant in Japanese?
4. Are you fluent in Japanese?
5. Are you familiar with Japanese?


【回答】
 初対面の外国人に対して、「日本語で、話してもいいですか?」というニュアンスを込めて、聞く場合は、1. Do you speak Japanese? が、一番適切です。2. は、相手に挑戦している感じがするので、避けた方がいいでしょう。

 なお、3. ~ 5. の表現は、Are you ...? ではなく、3. He is conversant in Japanese. 4. He is fluent in Japanese. 5. He is familiar with Japanese. などのように、相手ではなく、第三者を褒めるときに使う言い方になります。



【質問 No. 24860】 any other rooms と、other rooms の違いについて だんまる 2024-05-27 06:21:34
1. Are there any other rooms here?
2. Are there other rooms here?

 この二文の、意味の違いを、教えていただきたいです。


【回答】
1. の意味は、「ここには、他に何か部屋がありますか?」ということで、このにある部屋以外の、他の部屋の存在を尋ねているのですが、
2. の意味は、「ここには、他の部屋がありますか?」ということで、何か、というニュアンスが、なくなっています。



【質問 No. 24859】 和訳の添削依頼 こうき 2024-05-27 06:26:22
 Man is a history-making creature who can neither repeat his past nor leave it behind; at every moment he adds to and thereby modifies everything that had previously happened to him.

 この英文を和訳する問題で、解答には、以下の訳が、載っています。

 「人間は、歴史を作り出す生き物であり、自分の過去をくり返すことも、その過去をあとに残しておくこともできない。常に人間は、以前自分の身にふりかかったすべてのことを増やし、そうすることにより、それを変えてゆくのである」

 自分は、次のように、和訳しました。意訳を意識して書きましたが、添削を、よろしく、お願いします。

 「人間はみな、過去を繰り返すことも、過去に背を向けることもできないが、常に経験を蓄積し、それによって過去に起こったことを今に活かすものであり、歴史を作り出す生物である」


【回答】
 ご質問の英文の正しい意味は、「人間は、過去を繰り返すことも、過去を後に残すこともできない生き物だが、歴史を書き残す生き物で、常に、以前に彼に起こったことの全てに、何かを追加し、それによって、変化を加えていくのである」ということで、正解とされる訳は、最初に「人間は、歴史を残す生き物だ」としてから、その行動を述べているために、“歴史を残す生き物だ”、というテーゼ(主題)が、ぼやけてしまっているのです。それに比べて、質問者の解答は、歴史を作り出す生物だ、と最後に述べている点で、優れています。


【質問 No. 24857】 英文の倒置・省略について T.Risa 2024-05-27 05:29:47
 先生、いつも、お世話になっています。以下は、学校の英文和訳の課題です。

 The County of Barcelona and the Kingdom of Aragon entered <in>(→into) a dynastic union and gained territory and power in the Mediterranean. In 1229 Majorca was conquered, so was Valencia in 1238.

 この文章の最後の部分、so was Valencia in 1238. は、倒置で、conquered が省略されたということでしょうか? 調べても分からなかったので、よろしくお願いします。


【回答】
 ご質問の英文の意味は、「バルセロナ郡と、アラゴン王国は、王朝連合を結成し、地中海での領土と権力を獲得した。1229年には、マヨルカ島が征服され、1238年には、バレンシアも、征服された」ということで、so was Valencia (conquered) in 1238 の部分は、おっしゃる通り、so が前に出たために、「倒置」が行われ、conquered が、省略されているのです。

[回答] (感想) 最近は、大分、要約に慣れてこられた模様で、一定の「パターン」が、見られるようになったことを、感じます。such as ~ にしても、~ に節が来る場合の such that ... などの構文が出てくるなど、驚かされます。後は、単数・複数などについて、うっかりミスが、出てくる程度になりました。一度書いたら、2~3回、読み直したりすれば、自分で直せるミスなので、気をつけてください。
