【設問】
次の文章を英訳しなさい。
パンは手軽に食べることのできる食品であるが，実際に作ってみるとなると，出来上がるまでに大変な手間がかかる。特に，生地がしっかり膨らむまで待たなくてはならない。簡単にパンを焼けることが売りの家電製品を使ってみても，全工程に４，５時間は必要である。自分で経験してみて初めて，店頭で売っているパンのありがたみが分かるようになるものだ。
【解答例】
Bread is a food easy for anyone to have, but when you try to make it by yourself, you will find it takes a lot of time and effort. In particular, you have to wait for bread to swell fully. Even if you use a home electrical appliance which is claimed to enable you to bake bread easily, it takes four or five hours to complete the whole process. It is not until you experience it by yourself that you will find how convenient it is to buy bread at a store.
/ Bread is food that is easily available to anyone, but when we try to bake bread by ourselves, we find that it takes great time and effort to finish making bread. Especially, we must wait until the dough swells enough. Even if we use a home electric appliance whose selling point is to enable us to bake bread in an easy way, the whole process will take at least 4 or 5 hours. It is only after we try to bake bread by ourselves that we will appreciate the bread that is sold at bakeries.
/ You can eat bread easily, but you’ll have a lot of trouble making bread for yourself. Above all, you have to wait for the dough to rise fully.
