Week 3 : The starting point

先週の課題で,翻訳ソフトや翻訳サイトで片づけた解答がいくつかありました. 現在のソフトウェアが作る誤訳は一目で分かり, とても印象が悪いものだと覚悟してください. 逆に,文法のミスが多くても,書き手が一生懸命努力した文章は, 間違いだらけでも意味が分かり,暖かみのある心を打つ文章となります. メールより手書きの方がもらってうれしいでしょ? 以下の例は間違いが多いですが,書いてあることがよくわかるよい例です. なお,日本語訳を添える必要もありません.

<解答例>
The reason why I went into the machine department is because it liked a machine simply. And, it is because I wanted to learn how to design it. That reason is because it wants to make a car and an engine by itself. The person who has not only an educational background but also technology will be employed by an enterprise in the future age. I go into the machine department, and I have never repented! ! Because there is a company whom a machine department is happy. A teacher is unique again, too, and has many interesting people. But,I think that study is don't like very much. Because,I can't concentration for a long time. So,I work hard to concentration.

I chose mechanical engineerring by two reasons. First, In my spare time, I prefer watching some books of car. Because I like cars. Above all, I like sports car. I adore a sports car. It is RX-7. This car has a good shape is very stylish. I make of this kind car. So I applied for admission this school. Second, at first I will not come this school. But I found this school, when I was a junior high school. This school equipped with high technology. So, I chose mechanical engineerring.

In my spare time, I prefer something of machines repaired. I am happiest repairing the machines. My parents is a person who doesfarming on the side. So, farming machines in my home. I want to know structure of the farming machines. And it heared that I'm able to learn the many knowledges. So, I chooes of the mechanical engineering.

In my spare time, I prefer to sleep or playing game or whtching TV.There is happy time for me!!! The next I prefer to fumble a machine too. It is very enjoyable that be unaware of the passage of time. So I choose a course in mechanical engineering. There are incomparable eason. Do you know a「TERMINATOR」named movie? This muvie appear a robot. I very like a robot!!! I think that make a robot. But I was not understand on robot. So I choose a course in mechanical engineering. A course in mechanical engineering is a very good time!!! This environment reached the future for me!!!

In my spare time, I prefer mechanical engineering(? you don't like mechanical engineering when you do'nt have time?). Why I choose (*did I choose) mechanical engineering? Firstly, it is because mechanical engineering is one of the broadest fields of engineering. The (?Two) most important subjects in mechanical engineering are Maths and Science, and I like these two subjects very much. Secondly, I will be happiest working in a factory although it (can) make(s) me dirty. I (also) will have (an) opportunity to create and improve things that will result in an improved standard of living for (the) people (in) throughout the world by studying mechanical engineering. That's (These are) why I want to learn mechanical engineering.

I prefer mechanical engineering to electrical engineering. Because I am not goot at design machanical. And I do not like a car. But I like a semiconductor. When I was a junior high school students,I interested a semiconductor . I will be useful for everyone. Because all people needs electrical. So,I choose electrical engineering. I like a word;Boys, be ambitious.

I'm interested in an electric circuit. Because electric circuit is wonder. I want to know structure. I want to widen my knowledge. Knowledge is power. And It is surely no exaggeration to say that this is the age of electricity.(Why can you say this? Explain!) so I choose electrical engineering.

In my spare time, I prefer being with other people and being outside. I like playing sport, spending time with my friends. But, I (guess I?) look different when I am at school. I am interested in mathematics very much. I like to solve mathematics problem, sometimes it takes me all day. I am interested in computer too. I think, computer is deeply related with (or to) mathematics. I spend a couple of hours with computer everyday. I like programming, and searching information(s) on (the) Internet. That (This) is why I choose information engineering.
