質問

1 She touched me on the head kindly.

2 Father's thoughts were far away in Chicago with Mother.

3 Once we were out walking in a forest, when we saw on the snow the tracks of a polecat.

4 Then his anger disappeared, as bad feeling often does at the sound of beautiful music.

5 Those who listen to his music can probably know as much about him as we do.

6 Poor Japan! She seems to suffer more disasters than we do: earthquakes, fires, floods, and disasters of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Pacific tests---and now this typhoon damage.

7 Now I bade farewell to my family, I am happy to die.

8 The cave-dweller who painted a bison probably did so to bring good luck to his tribe next time they went hunting.

9 Every time that I had been naughtier than he cared to tolerate, Father would try to make me understand all that was expected of me as his eldest son.

よろしくお願いします！

1 She touched me on the head kindly.
彼女は親切に私の頭を触った。

2 Father's thoughts were far away in Chicago with Mother.

例えばの訳としては
父の考えというのは、遠くシカゴにいる母の考えとは遠く隔たったものだった。
ぐらいでしょうか？

3 Once we were out walking in a forest, when we saw on the snow the tracks of a polecat.
昔、森の中を散歩に出かけた。そのとき、雪の上にヨーロッパケナガイタチの足跡を見たのだった。

4 Then his anger disappeared, as bad feeling often does at the sound of beautiful music.
それとき彼の怒りは消えた。よく、美しい音色の音楽で悪い気分が消えてしまうように。

5 Those who listen to his music can probably know as much about him as we do.
彼の音楽を聞く人たちは、おそらく我々と同じぐらい彼について知っているだろう。

6 Poor Japan! She seems to suffer more disasters than we do: earthquakes, fires, floods, and disasters of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Pacific tests---and now this typhoon damage.
日本はあわれだ。我々がこうむる災害よりも多くの災害をこうむっているようだ。地震、火事、洪水、そして広島・長崎の惨事、そして太平洋の核実験ーーそして今度の台風被害である。

7 Now I bade farewell to my family, I am happy to die.
今や家族に別れの挨拶をしたのだから、喜んで死ねるよ。

8 The cave-dweller who painted a bison probably did so to bring good luck to his tribe next time they went hunting.
野牛の絵を描いた洞窟居住者はおそらく、自分たちの部族に次回猟に出かけるとき、幸運を呼び込もうとしてそうしたのだろう。

9 Every time that I had been naughtier than he cared to tolerate, Father would try to make me understand all that was expected of me as his eldest son.
父が我慢の限度を超えて私が始末に負えないときはいつでも、父がその長男として私に期待されていることをすべて理解させようと努めたものだった。
