Planning and meticulous execution is everything in Japanese soccer. So when the players fall behind in a game, there is a system to rely on, a belief there is a way back to victory. その素早いパス回しは、「バルセロナの女子版」と称えられたほど。 As a result, the Japanese women are in their first World Cup final and their quick passing playーwhich has earned them praise as the female version of Barcelonaーcould well pose a stiff test for the favored United States. ハイボールを排し、低いボールで勝負するよう監督からの指示があった。ボールコントロール、コンビネーション、パスに集中した。チームワークを高めるために、全員が心を一つにした。 "We just paid a lot of attention and our coach told us to keep the ball low, not to play any high balls.

When her name was called to give the final presentation at the IOC's General Assembly six days later, members of the audience cheered and whistled, while scores of IOC officials rushed to have their photographs taken with the young star. 彼女のプレゼンは内容と英語、いずれも非の打ちどころがなく、IOC委員たちの心に深く響き渡った。 Her final presentation to the IOC members was fantastic and done in nearly perfect English. It was a message that clearly resonated. 国民の大多数がオリンピック誘致に賛成していたのも大きな強みだった。日本のように、しらけムードが漂っていてはオリンピック誘致競争に勝てるはずはない。今回の韓国での開催を受けて2020年の東京オリンピック誘致はますます困難な状況となった。韓国の成功例を手本としながらも、新しいアプローチを模索すべきだ。 An IOC study found that 87 percent of the nation was in favor of the bid. Apathy has no place in the Olympics, which bring us to the talk of Tokyo contemplating a bid for the 2020 Summer Games. As farcical as it is for Tokyo to consider this, especially in light of the fact the preceding Olympics will be held in a neighboring country, if it is going to bid, it should take a page out of Pyeongchang's book and try a new approach.

July 3 Diabetes looms as global scourge Increased obesity and inactivity are the primary cause in developing countries such as India and in Latin America, the Caribbean and the Middle East. A huge burden of medial costs and physical disability lying ahead in this century, as diabetes increases a person's risk of heart attack, kidney failure, blindness and some infections. Diabetes is a metabolic ailment in which the body is unlikely to rapidly or adequately move sugar out of the bloodstream and into tissues after a meal. 「国家にとっても個人にとっても負担となる糖尿病にならないために、肥満に気を付け、運動を心がけなさい。」という記事。 この記事の最後に、「この研究では、各国の糖尿病有病率と平均空腹時血糖値は、年齢標準化された数値である。」という記述があった。(In the study, each country's diabetes prevalence and average fasting blood sugar are "age-standardized" calculations. ) では、その"age-standardization"とはどのようなものか、そしてその問題点は何か、次の英文を読んで答えてください。 Each country is treated as if it had the same age structure of its adult populationーthe same number of people age 25 to 29, the same number 30 to 34, and so on. Age standardization allows researchers to compare countries whose populations have a high percentage of old people with countries with fewer old people. The actual number of people in the world with diabetes, however, reflects not only the underlying rate of the disease in each age group but also the size and structure of the global population today. Between 1980 and 2008, the number of diabetics more than doubled, from 153 million to 347 million. About 30 percent of that increase came from rising prevalence of the disease in all age groups. About 30 percent came from population growth, since more people means more diabetics. About 40 percent came from the aging of the world population; diabetes is more common in older people. |
