トイ・ストーリー「You've Got A Friend In Me」







You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
Just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you
And as the years go by
Boys, our friendship will never die
You're gonna see
It's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Itsy Bitsy Spider

2012年11月11日 | music　英語歌詞







Itsy Bitsy Spider (SD)



There are various versions of the lyrics:

The Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain And the Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the spout again.


The Itsy Bitsy Spider or The Incy Weensy Spider is sometimes chanted rather than sung. Recitation of the rhyme is often combined with fingerplays representing the words. For the first (and last) line, alternately touch the thumb of one hand to the index finger of the other. For "Down came the rain" hold both hands up and wiggle the fingers as you lower the hands. For "washed the spider out" sweep the hands to the side. For the third line bring both hands up and then to the sides to sweep out a semicircle (the sun). Then wiggle the fingers upwards (to show the rain drying in the sun), and repeat the thumb/index finger movement to indicate the spider climbing up the spout.

An alternative version is:

The Itsy Bitsy Spider crawled up the water spout.
Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain, And the Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the spout again.
(Some versions have climbed or went instead of crawled.)

Barack Obama wins election for second term as president

2012年11月09日 | 日記



President Barack Obama handily defeated Gov. Mitt Romney and won himself a second term on Tuesday after a bitter and historically expensive race that was primarily fought in just a handful of battleground states.
Obama beat Romney after nabbing almost every one of the 12 crucial battleground states.

The Romney campaign's last-ditch attempt to put blue-leaning Midwestern swing states in play failed as Obama's Midwestern firewall sent the president back to the White House for four more years.
Obama picked up the swing states of New Hampshire, Michigan, New Mexico, Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Ohio.
Of the swing states, Romney picked up only North Carolina. Florida is still too close to call, but even if Romney wins the state, Obama still beat him in the Electoral College vote.
The popular vote will most likely be narrower than the president's decisive Electoral College victory.

In a sweeping victory speech early Wednesday morning, Obama thanked every American who voted, and vowed to work with leaders from both parties to tackle the country's challenges.

"Our economy is recovering, a decade of war is ending, a long campaign is now over," he told a crowd of cheering supporters in Chicago. "
And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, I have learned from you and you have made me a better president."
Obama added he has "never been more hopeful about America. ...
We're not as divided as our politics suggest. We remain more than a collection of blue states and red states."


In his speech, he offered clues to the policy goals of his second term, which included a deficit reduction plan that combines tax increases with spending cuts, a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's federal immigration laws and tax reform.
He called on Republicans to join him in achieving those goals.

The battle for the White House between Obama and Romney divided the nation, causing, at times, bitter disputes between the parties.
Obama urged his supporters to look beyond the fight of the past several months and defended the process of choosing a president.

"I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly," Obama said. "
And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of evils or the domain of special interests.
If you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out to our rallies and along the rope lines of high school gyms, or saw folks working late at campaign office or some tiny county a long way from home, you'll discover something else."

Romney conceded in Boston in a speech around 1 a.m. ET. "
Like so many of you, Paul [Ryan] and I have left everything on the field.
We have given our all to this campaign," Romney said. "
I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead your country in another direction.
But the nation chose another leader." Romney congratulated the president and his campaign on their victory.





The Romney campaign cast the election as a referendum on Obama's economic policies, frequently comparing him to former President Jimmy Carter and asking voters the Reagan-esque question of whether they are better off than they were four years ago.
But the Obama campaign pushed back, blanketing key states such as Ohio early on with ads painting him as a multimillionaire more concerned with profits than people.
The Obama campaign also aggressively attacked Romney on reproductive rights issues, tying Romney to a handful of Republican candidates who made controversial comments about rape and abortion.

The ads were one reason Romney faced a steep likeability problem for most of the race, until his expert performance at the first presidential debate in Denver in October. After that debate, and a near universal panning of Obama's performance, Romney caught up with Obama in national polls, and almost closed his favorability gap with the president.
In polls, voters consistently gave him an edge over Obama on who would handle the economy better and create more jobs, even as they rated Obama higher on caring about the middle class.

But the president's Midwestern firewall—and the campaign's impressive grassroots operation—carried him through.
Ohio tends to vote a bit more Republican than the nation as a whole, but Obama was able to stave off that trend and hold an edge there over Romney, perhaps due to the president's support of the auto bailout three years ago. Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, all but moved to Ohio in the last weeks of the campaign, trying and ultimately failing to erase Obama's lead there.

A shrinking electoral battleground this year meant that only 12 states were really seen as in play, and both candidates spent most of their time and money there.
Though national polls showed the two candidates in a dead heat, Obama consistently held a lead in the states that mattered.
That, and his campaign's much-touted get-out-the-vote efforts and overall ground game, may be what pushed Obama over the finish line.

Now, Obama heads back to office facing what will most likely be bitterly partisan negotiations over whether the Bush tax cuts should expire.
The House will still be majority Republican, with Democrats maintaining their majority in the Senate.

The loss may provoke some soul searching in the Republican Party.
This election was seen as a prime opportunity to unseat Obama, as polls showed Americans were unhappy with a sluggish economy, sky-high unemployment and a health care reform bill that remained widely unpopular.
Romney took hardline positions on immigration, federal spending and taxes during the long Republican primary when he faced multiple challenges from the right.
He later shifted to the center in tone on many of those issues, but it's possible the primary painted him into a too-conservative corner to appeal to moderates during the general election.
The candidate also at times seemed unable to effectively counter Democratic attacks on his business experience and personal wealth.

"In the coming weeks and months I am looking forward to reaching out to leaders of both parties," Obama said.

He won't have much time to fulfill that promise.
With tax hikes looming and a sequestration deal that will make enormous , automatic cuts in government funding, Congress and the White House must move quickly to find a compromise and put Obama's high-minded rhetoric into action.

アメリカの大統領選挙について

2012年11月08日 | 日記



How the President of the United States is Elected
アメリカ合衆国の大統領は、どのように選ばれますか ?


Who Can Run?
The President and Vice-President are elected every four years.
They must be at least 35 years of age, they must be native-born citizens of the United States, and they must have been residents of the U.S. for at least 14 years.

誰が立候補することができますか？
大統領と副大統領は、4年おきに選ばれます。
彼らは少なくとも35才であるにちがいありません、彼らはアメリカ合衆国の生粋の住民でなければありません、そして、彼らは少なくとも14年間の米国の居住者でなければありません。

How Do the Political Parties Choose Their Candidates?
That's up to the political parties.
Most political parties hold conventions, which are large meetings attended by "delegates."
Some delegates are selected by state "primary" elections, some are selected by state caucuses (very much like primaries, except with public voting instead of secret ballots), and some are chosen for their prominence in the party. A majority of delegate votes is needed to win the party's nomination.
In most cases, the delegates let their chosen presidential candidate select a vice-presidential candidate.
どのように、政党は彼らの候補を選挙しますか？
それは、政党次第です。
大部分の政党は大会を開きます。そして、それは「代表」が出席する大きな会議です。
一部の代表は公式「主要な」選挙によって選ばれます、公式幹部会（とても、無記名投票の代わりに投票している市民を除いて、予備選挙のような）によって、いくつかは選ばれます、そして、いくつかはパーティーで彼らの傑出のために選ばれます。大多数の代表票は、党の指名に勝つために必要です。
ほとんどの場合、代表は彼らの選ばれた大統領候補に副大統領候補を選ばせます。



The Electoral College Votes for the President.
The Electoral College then votes for President and for Vice-President, with each elector casting one vote; these votes are called electoral votes. Each elector is pledged to vote for particular candidates for President and Vice-President.
In most elections, all the electors vote in accordance with the pledge they made; it is not clear what would happen in the unlikely event that a large number of electors violated their pledge and voted differently.
大統領選挙人は、大統領に投票します。
選挙人団そして大統領のための、そして、副大統領のための票（1つの票を投じている各々の有権者と一緒の）;これらの票は、選挙人投票と呼ばれています。各々の有権者は、大統領と副大統領の特定の候補者に投票すると誓われます。
大部分の選挙では、すべての有権者は、彼らがした誓約に基づき投票します;多数の有権者が彼らの誓約を破って、違って投票したありそうもないイベントで、何があるかは、明らかでありません。

Normally, one of the candidates for President receives a majority (more than half) of the electoral votes; that person is elected President.
That candidate's vice-presidential running mate will then also receive a majority of electoral votes (for Vice-President), and that person is elected Vice-President.
通常、大統領の候補者の1人は、選挙人投票の得票差（半分以上）を受けます;その人は、大統領に選ばれます。
それから、その候補の副大統領副大統領候補は大多数の選挙人投票（副大統領にとって）も受けます、そして、その人は副大統領に選ばれます。

Osprey in Okinawa

Okinawa dismay at US base delay

The US has begun the controversial deployment of Osprey military aircraft to the southern Japanese island of Okinawa, amid protests over the move.

The Ospreys arrived at a US base in western Japan in July, ahead of their deployment to Okinawa's Futenma airbase.

Six of the aircraft have now landed in Futenma, reports say.

Okinawa residents have opposed the move, citing safety fears following crashes in Morocco and Florida.

The Osprey is a hybrid military aircraft that has a rotor and can take off like a helicopter but flies like a plane. A total of 12 are to be stationed at Futenma airbase.

They had been due to move on Friday but were delayed by a typhoon.






On Sunday police were called in to move protesters who had tried to seal off the gates to the airbase. Japanese public broadcaster NHK said that a crowd of more than 100 had gathered at the base early on Monday.

Protesters say they fear the aircraft are not safe
Earlier this month, announcing that permission had been given for test-flights, Japanese Defence Minister Satoshi Morimoto said the safety of the aircraft had been confirmed, with the two accidents "caused by human factors".

But opposition to the US military footprint in Okinawa is intense, amid a 15-year stand-off over a base relocation plan.

Okinawa Governor Hirokazu Nakaima said that the concerns of residents about the aircraft should have been addressed before they were moved.

"It is disappointing and extremely regrettable," he said.

Many Okinawan residents want Futenma airbase - which sits in a densely-packed residential area - moved off the island.

The US and Japanese governments have agreed to close Futenma but say they will replace it with a new facility in the less populated north of Okinawa.

Local lawmakers and residents are fighting the plan, saying Okinawa already hosts a disproportionate number of US troops.

Billy Joel My Life


Lyrics

古い友達から電話があった
かつてはとても親しかった
彼は言う
アメリカ人のやり方ではやっていけないよ
店を閉め 家を売り
西海岸へのチケットを買い
ロスに日常のマンネリに立ち向かいに行った

おまえがオレのことを心配する必要はない
オレは大丈夫だから
おまえに家に帰って来いと言って欲しくはない
おまえがなんと言おうとオレは気にしない
これはオレの人生だから
自分の人生を行けよ
オレは放っておいて

おまえがオレに
２度目のチャンスを申し出なきゃいけないなんて言ってないよ
オレが状況の被害者だとは言ってないよ
間違えないで欲しい
オレはまだここにいる
おまえは心のうちを打ち明けることも出来る
でもオレの時じゃない

みんなはおまえに言うだろう
見知らぬ場所でも一人で眠れると
他の誰かと一緒に眠れると
でも遅かれ早かれ
自分のスペースで眠ることになる
どっちにしても大丈夫
自分で起きれるようになるさ

おまえがオレのことを心配する必要はない
オレは大丈夫だから
おまえに家に帰って来いと言って欲しくはない
おまえがなんと言おうとオレは気にしない
これはオレの人生だから
自分の人生を行けよ
オレは放っておいて

おまえがオレに
２度目のチャンスを申し出なきゃいけないなんて言ってないよ
オレが状況の被害者だとは言ってないよ
間違えないで欲しい
オレはまだここにいる
おまえは心のうちを打ち明けることも出来る
