I have a suspicion, though, that かかる is 懸かる in this sentence. The order is correct and one translation would be "The trap that the crane was caught in (had fallen into ?) was taken." ?It's a bit odd. Are you sure you don't have わな and つる in the wrong places?
鶴に掛かっている罠を解いてやりました。
I disarmed the trap set on the crane.
罠に掛かっている鶴を解いてやりました。
I freed the crane from the trap that it was caught in.
鶴 【つる】crane (bird) (Gruidae family); (P)
掛かる 【かかる】 (v5r,vi) (1) to take; (v5r) (2) to hang; (v5r) (3) to arrive; (v5r) (4) to come under (a contract, a tax); (v5r) (5) to start (engines, motors); (v5r) (6) to attend, to deal with, to handle; (v5r,aux-v) (7) to have started to; to be on the verge of; (v5r,aux-v) (8) to (come) at; (P)
解く 【とく】 (v5k,vt) to solve; to answer; to untie; (P)
WWWJDIC.By the way, which dictionary did you paste it from? It looks better than mine.
It's from the 昔 つるのおんがえし so the word order should be standard, at least for the time, my misreadings of といて notwithstanding.WWWJDIC.
I may have been too picky on the word order but all the hits I could find were for things like "boxes with a trap on them"
The kanji reading is かえる。This kanji please.
It's from the sentence below, and it is read as "ka", red coloured (thanks to furigana)
あっという間につるにすがたをかえ、。。。
I found several versions of つるのおんがえし on the web - none had the words in that order. What book / site did it come from in the first place?It's from the 昔 つるのおんがえし so the word order should be standard, at least for the time, my misreadings of といて notwithstanding.

Hi konitiwa... I really want to express about my feelings but I don't know how to express this into a Japanese please help me how to say this...''please don't always think negative/bad to me,please trust me.''

It's similar to house arrest I think except in this case done in the temple. Just FYI -- sorry this is too late to help in a class !Right now I'm preparing for tomorrows class and came across: 謹慎処分
How would you translate that?
The whole sentence goes like this:
その時25歳だった彼は、１年間の謹慎処分を受け、毎日禅寺に通ったという。
謹慎 【きんしん】penitence, discipline, house arrest, (P)
処分 【しょぶん】 (n,vs) disposal, dealing, punishment, (P)
Its about a ski jumper (if it is called that way in English) who got into an accident and than the above sentence follows...
my guess is, that he got punished for the accident by not letting him participate in any competitions?!
Thanks for any help
大きなつづらと小さなつづらを出してました。
つづら = ?
すると、ねずみたちのわの中から、年よるいねずみがやってきて、。。。
"Mouses came from year..."
What does toshi (year) has to do in this sentence?
Also, if this part is correct at all, what kanji is the わ here supposed to be ?大きなつづらと小さなつづらを出してました。
つづら = ?
すると、ねずみたちのわの中から、
Yeah, that's what I would assume too. I'd just never seen it used before in reference to animals. I guess I was wondering where these sometimes mangled sentences were coming from.I would assume this わ to be 輪. In other words, "At that, an elderly mouse came forth from the circle (of mice) and....."
Yes it is from a story, and わ means circle there. Mice form a circle around the greedy obaasan. It is a famous story indeed, but i couldn't recall its name now.I know what you're saying, but if the story (I assume these come from a story) is one that anthropomorphs animals, then I think this usage of わ is perfectly fine.
I have a one more question,
泣く
鳴く
These two both mean "cry" and they both read as "naku", don't they?
What is the difference between these two then?

どういたしまして！ 多分、謹慎期間中は家とお寺で修行する間を行ったり来たりするというのは謹慎処分になったのでしょうね。 彼の所属するスキー連盟などによるのでしょうか。Thought so... thank you... and you made it in timewe didn't get that far this week...
