長文失礼します。 以下、中学教科書からの抜粋です。 Once, a poor young boy was selling candy door-to-door. He was earning money to go to school. He was very hungry, but he had only a few coins. The boy went to a house to sell candy. He knocked on the door and a woman opened it. She said, “I have no money for candy.” She was not well-off herself. When the boy was about to leave, the woman said, “Wait.” She felt sorry for him because he looked very hungry. So she brought him a glass of milk. When he finished drinking the milk, the boy felt much better. He took the coins out of his pocket, and said, “Thank you for the milk.” 疑問１：「the coins」はなぜ「the」が付いているのでしょうか？「he had only a few coins」を受けているようにも思いましたが、かなり離れているので、違和感を感じました。 The woman replied, “You don’t need to pay. We don’t need money for kindness.” Before he left, she said, “Be strong, young man, and you’ll have a great future.” 疑問２：「you’ll have a great future」は、模範訳では「あなたにはすばらしい未来があります」となっているのですが、「があります」は英語では「have」なのでしょうか？ Thanks to her kindness, the boy felt stronger than before, and walked away with a smile. After that day, the woman sometimes wondered about the boy. She hoped he was doing well. 以上、疑問１と２につきまして、どなたかお分かりになる方がいらっしゃいましたら、是非教えてください。 よろしくお願いします。
