英文解釈のトレーニング（応用）

[１]

 　次の英文の下線部（１）、（２）、（３）を和訳せよ。

　How she loved her mother! Still perfectly beautiful at eighty-six. (1)The only concession she'd made to her age was a pair of hearing aids. "My ears," she called them. Everything her mother touched she touched carefully, and left a little smoother, a little finer for her touch. Everything about her mother reminded her of trees changing with the seasons, each garment some variety of leaf color: the light green of spring with a hint of yellow, the dark green of full summer, occasionally a detail of bright autumn-an orange scarf, a red ribbon in her hair. Wool in winter, cotton in summer; never an artificial fiber next to her skin. What she didn't understand, she often said, was (2)the kind of laziness which, in the name of convenience, in the end made more work and deprived one of the small but real joys. The smell of a warm iron against damp cloth, the comfort of something that was once alive against your body. She was a great believer in not removing yourself from the kind of labor she considered natural. She wouldn't own an electric food processor or have a credit card. She liked, she said, chopping vegetables, and (3)when she paid for something, she wanted to feel, on the tips of her fingers, on the palms of her hands, the cost.

 

プラスαで、今日の授業でやってみる予定です。皆さんも挑戦してみてください。

高校3年生のクラスで行います。

「方針」

　　初心者：時間がかかりすぎるので、実力をつけてから取り組むこと。

　　中級者：辞書を利用しても構わないから取り組んでも構いません。（３０分）

　　上級者：辞書は使わずに解答を仕上げる。そののちに再度読み直して、解答を吟味する。

　　　　　　　最後に解答を確認する。（12分で７５％正解）

　　達人：やる必要はない。

しっかりと構造をチェックし、かつ文脈を加味できる場合には実行する。さらに日本語をわかりやすく修正できる場合には行い、無理ならばそのままで構わないので頑張ってください。

解答は別の日に作成します。同じタイトルで、解答とする予定です。
