That the guy survived the accident surprised everyone.
意味は分かる。難しい単語は無いから、単語だけをつなげばなんとなく分かる。でも、それじゃダメなんだ。
問題なのは、最初の That が何なのかを知るために、最後まで読む必要があるところ。
この That は、「あの」を意味するザットじゃなくって、「奴が事故を生き延びたこと」を指していて、なおかつ、この文全体の主語になっている。それに気づくために、全部読む必要がある(←ここがダメ)。
これ、短い文だからなんとかなってしまうけれど、ちょっと長くなると、たちまち問題が顕在化する。
Although almost everyone admits that social media has changed the way in which people live, whether it will remain as popular in the years to come as today remains to be seen.
最初が Although だから、前提とか条件なんだろうな……とかあたりを付けるんだけど、その中で主語や動詞が出てくるので、どこがどこに掛かっているのか迷子になる。
得意な人なら、that や in which、カンマを道しるべにして頭から読み解いていくのだろう。だが、それができない。いったん文章を最後まで読み、後戻りして意味を当てはめながら構造を考えている。
Dain:そーです。漱石が、“I Love You” を「月がきれいですね」と訳したのは都市伝説と言われていますが、みんなそれを承知の上で、「月がきれい」を “I Love You” だと思っているじゃないですか。それを、ちゃんと、やるんです、男の子が。「月がきれいだね」って言おうとするんです、でも、「つき……」で止まってしまう。

I am looking for blogs of people who are studying alone and do not belong to a university. I am looking for someone who can teach me how to learn about what I want to know.
For example, when you search on the Internet, you get many answers, but what do you do when you can not find the words to search in the first place?
What kind of books should a university first grader read in order to learn culture and education?
How do I write a script based on a story idea?
Before I ask someone for each of these questions, I am looking for someone to find out what to do if I want to find out for myself.
In Japan, there is a blogger called "Reading Monkey". In the English-speaking world, I want to know what kind of people there are. Add a reading monkey blog to the URL (in Japanese).
