Hello!


1. 汗びっしょりになってかつぎまわったら、何もかも忘れ ても夢中になれるだろうね。

Translation given: "Working up a sweat and running around really lets you forget all your troubles, doesn't it?"

なれる here is the potential form of なる (成る), right?


2. In these sentences I'm not 100% sure who is doing what to whom. There is no further context.

a) せっかく持ってきてくれたのだから、買ってあげましょ う。

Does this mean "Since you've taken the trouble to bring it, I'll buy it (from you)"?

b) せっかくですが、都合がつきません。

Does this mean "You've gone to a lot of trouble, but it isn't convenient for me at the moment"?


3. 訪問、ふたりで訪問、ひとりが帰ろうかと言うと、もう ひとりがもっといようと言う。

Translation given: "Two people are visiting someone. One suggests that they leave, but the other wants to stay a bit longer."

Is いよう the volitional form of いる (居る)?


4. この作品の原作が読めるといい。

Translation given: "I wish I could read this work in the original".

I translated as "You ought to read this work in the original"

Is my translation also possible?
 
1)
Yes.

Isn't it 何もかも忘れて(without the second も)?

2) a)
Your interpretation is correct. Another one is that the speaker is talking to the other person than the seller like family member or friend; "Let's buy~".

b)
Yes.

3)
Yes.

4)
No. It's この作品の原作を読むといい.
 
Thanks Toritoribe. Yes, the も after 忘れて was my transcription error.
