"心"の中の... / 勇敢にも / 陰 / とも / いずれも

[eeky]

Hi,


1. "心"の中の様々なひずみを、ごく日常的なものとして受 け入れているかのような現代人の、健康観とストレスの あり様を探ってみた。

I understand "心"の中の様々なひずみを、ごく日常的なものとして受 け入れているかのような現代人 to mean "today's generation, who seem to accept these various psychological stresses as commonplace".

Then I am a bit unsure. Is の a possessive particle? If so, is the comma correct? What does あり様 mean? Who/what is the subject of 探ってみた? Could it be some unnamed subject who conducted a survey?


2. その消防夫は勇敢にも燃え盛る家から赤ん坊を救った。

Translation given: "The brave fireman rescued a boy from the burning house." [probably "boy" should read "baby"]

I'm assuming 勇敢に is adverbial, but what is the purpose of も? I apologise if this is similar to some questions I have asked before.


3. This is part of the results of a survey into stress:

「仕事上の人間関係」は女性４９％、男性３４％と男女 差が目立ち、めざましい社会進出の陰の女性の悩みを浮 き彫りにしている。

I get: "'Relationship with your boss', (identified as a concern by) 49% of women and 34% of men, stood out as a difference between the sexes, and highlighted ... ??? ..."

a) Could めざましい社会進出の陰の女性の悩み mean something like "women's concerns resulting from / following on from their remarkable advancement in society"? I am not very sure about 陰, especially.

b) Is the と in 男性３４％と a quoting particle?


4. 各選択肢とも三十、四十歳代で高率なのが目立ち、何ら かの答えをあげた人はいずれも９割を超えるなど、・・ ・

My translation: "Across all choices [all possible symptoms of stress that people surveyed were asked about], the high rate [of stress symptoms] among people in their 30s and 40s stood out, and the proportion of people [in these age groups] who gave some answer [i.e experienced some stress symptom] exceeded 90%."

a) What is the exact purpose of とも?

b) What is the purpose of いずれも? Could it mean something like "in total"?

1)
Yes.
A bit unnatural, but there's no strict rule where to put comma.
the pre -masu form of 窶堋?窶堙ｩ + 窶罵
the writer

2)
That's a bit special usage of 窶堙俄?堙?, I think. It means ﾂ〜窶堙遺?堋ｱ窶堙??堙?

3)
ﾂ人ﾅ?ﾃ版?ﾃ滅淡 doesn't refer to only the relationship with boss. It contains the one with colleagues or subordinates.

a)
behind/as a negative side of~

b)
Yes.

4) a)
"all" in your translation

数を表す名詞に付いて、それが全部同じ状態であること を表す。「二人―学生だった」「男女―若かった」

とも - goo辞書

b)
The two interpritations どの選択肢でも "in every choice" and どちらの世代も（三十代も四十代も） "in both generations" seem to be possible to me.

1. Totally useless bit of trivia: By tradition, the Emperor uses no punctuation whatsoever.

Thank you.

1. So, does 健康観とストレスのあり様を探ってみた mean something like "I investigated what kind of health perceptions and stresses exist"?

2. Is that ことに in the sense of "especially" or "particularly", i.e. he acted particularly bravely?

3. I think I invented the "boss" bit from 上, not 人間関係. So what does 仕事上 mean?

What is the subject of 浮き彫りにしている?

 

[Toritoribe]

1)
Yes.

2)
No. The adverbial phrase ことに（殊に） doesn't take a modifying phrase/clause. 勇敢なことに（事に） literally means "it is a brave thing (and/but)..."

3)
relationship in business

the result that 「仕事上の人間関係」は女性４９％、男性３４％と男女差が目立つ.
