Many Americans believe that disputes should be settled by the disputing parties without outside help. Parents often send their children back to the playroom or playground with instructions to settle fights for themselves. Relatives and friends can be heard to say,”It’s between the two of you. I’m not getting in the middle .” Even psychologists tend to regard it as a sign of maturity when someone settles disputes without third parties,whose participation may be regarded as unhealthy. Yet many peoples of the world except conflicts to be resolved by third parties. This reflects an emphasis on harmony and interdependence: the tendency to see individuals as located in a social network,in contrast to the American tendency to over-emphasize independence and see the individual as the fundamental human unit. To manage disputes ranging from quarrels between family members to conflicts between villages, cultures develop informal rules and formal proceedings, just as Americans have assumptions about fair fights as well as legal trials. In contrast to the American way of settling disputes,however, the participation of the community is an important part of the proceedings. Americans cannot simply adopt the rituals of another culture,but thinking about these rituals can give them ideas for devising their own new ways to manage conflicts. できるだけ正確にお願いします。

素朴な疑問です 本当に素朴な ぶっちゃけどうでもいい疑問です(笑) 昔話の「桃太郎」では 桃太郎は「きびだんご」を腰に提げて鬼退治に行きましたね このきびだんごについてですが 食品やスイーツの名称に関しては 例えば 麦飯・粟おこし等のように 「原材料名由来」のものがありますね 黍粉を煮るなり焼くなりして 「黍だんご」を作ったのかも知れませんね 一方 薩摩揚・フレンチトースト・フランクフルトのように 「地名由来」のものもありますね 「桃太郎」のご当地として全国で最も有名なのは岡山県ですが この辺りは吉備地方と言って 吉備高原とか吉備線、吉備国際大学と 地名としては今でも残っています 地元の郷土料理の一種で「吉備だんご」があったのかも知れませんね さて 桃太郎の「きびだんご」は 原材料名由来(黍だんご) 地名由来(吉備だんご) どちらになるのでしょうか？

Mr. Fay said the caning, which he estimated took one minute, left a "few streaks of blood" running down his buttocks. But his description appeared less horrific than accounts of caning in the past. "The skin did rip open," he said. "There was some blood. I mean let's not exaggerate, and let's not say a few drops or that the blood was gushing out. It was in between the two. It's like a bloody nose." Mr. Fay said the wounds hurt for about five days, after which they itched as they healed. "The first couple of days it was very hard to sit," he said. He said that he was able to walk immediately after the caning and that in the days after the punishment he was able to do push-ups. Mr. Fay said he now wanted get on with finishing high school and then go to college "like any other kid in America." １his discription以降なのですが、「彼の描写/説明（鞭打ちの）は過去における鞭打ち（刑）の話よりもおぞましくないように思われた。」というような文意だと考えるのですが、合っていますでしょうか？またここでのin the pastの文中の働きはcanningを修飾していると感がるのですがこの理解でよろしいでしょうか？記事前文に「In his first description of the caning, Mr. Fay said that prison officials told him he shouted, "I'm dying," when the first stroke was delivered. He said he could not remember making the cry.」とあるのでここをin the pastで示していると読むのですが解説頂ければ幸いです。 He said a prison officer stood beside him and guided him through the ordeal, saying: "O.K. Michael, three left. O.K., Michael, two left. O.K., one more; you're almost done." ２let's not say~以降なのですが、It was in between the twoでtwoがdropsを指していると考えるのですが、Itはどこを指し、ているのでしょうか？構文はSVM構文だと考えるのですが（因みにlet's not say a few dropsというのも文意が掴みにくいのですが教えて頂ければ幸いです）。 ３after which の部分なのですがここはfive daysを指しているとの理解及び用法と考えてよろしいでしょうか？ 長文ですが解説のほど解説よろしくお願いします。

次の文章の意味はわかりますが、構造がわかりません。どなたかご指導お願いします。 The victory was motivated by the events earlier that year, making their desire to win much stronger than that of their opponents.　（その勝利は、その年の初めに起きた出来事によって動機づけられていることは間違いなく、その結果、対戦相手よりもあるかに強い勝利への執着が生まれたのです） , making が分詞構文だとすると、主語がthe victory でなければなりませんが、意味的には主語はthe events だと思います。和訳には、その結果、とあったので分詞構文と捉えているようですが、前の文全体を指すような懸垂分詞ではないかと思いますが、自信がありません。教えていただけますでしょうか。

For 18 years I was in a loveless marriage. The one good thing that came out of that marriage was my beautiful 14-year-old daughter. My ex-wife and I have been divorced for a year now and I'm feeling emotionally available. I have met -- or shall I say re-met -- a woman I have known since second grade. She was my sister's best friend and was always around our house growing up. She was kind of like a sister, but I always had a crush on her. Now, so many years later, we have connected. We see each other every few weeks and text each other. This has been going on for almost a year. My crush has come back, but it is different this time. I feel like I'm falling in love with her. I'm not sure how she feels about me, but we do have an incredible connection. She calls us kindred spirits. And that's where my question lies. How do I take a 45-plus-year friendship out of the friendship zone? Should I tell her how I feel or not? I have tried, but the words just wouldn't come out of my mouth. She calls us kindred spiritsはどのような意味でしょうか？ あと、the words just wouldn'tのwouldn'tはwon'tだと何が違うでしょうか？よろしくお願いします

DEAR ABBY: I'm hoping you can give me some guidance, as I am a huge fan and read your column regularly. I am a 32-year-old woman whose mother and grandmother told me about our proud Native American heritage all my life. Several years ago, I got a large tattoo in our tribe's language as a way to honor my family. Recently, Mom did a DNA test and discovered that we are not, in fact, of Native American descent. We feel devastated and betrayed by our parents and grandparents for lying to us for generations. I haven't shared this news with my husband, extended family and friends because I feel so ashamed and humiliated. I told Mom that I would like to have my tattoo covered up or removed. It upset her and made her feel incredibly guilty. I'm not doing this to hurt her, but because I feel like a fraud and don't want to lie about the tattoo's meaning in the future. Abby, your thoughts on how best to handle this situation? -- TATTED AND CONFUSED DEAR T and C: Considering the circumstances, I see no reason for continuing to wear a tattoo that would be a constant reminder you were lied to. If your mother deliberately misled you, she has good reason to feel guilty. If she, too, was misled, then she's as much a victim as you are. My thought is that you are the only person who has to live in your own skin, and you should do with it whatever will make you happy. do with it whatever will make you happyの解説をよろしくお願いします。（この文のサイトでミスプリは見たことがないので違うと思うのですが。。）

I have been married for four months. My husband and I love each other very much. Although he has asked me multiple times for sex, we have only made love twice. My problem is, sex doesn't interest me. In fact, the thought of it terrifies me. I hate saying no because I know it hurts him, but I'm always scared that I won't enjoy it. Or that if I do say yes, I'll feel like it's a chore just to make him happy. I know that's the wrong mindset to have going into it. going into itはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします
