English to Japanese: A news article
Source text - English Company XXX is going mobile. The company that provides music, games and video to customers on their PCs is now also offering that content to consumers on their mobile phones. "Mobile entertainment is a huge opportunity," yyyyy, founder and CEO of XXX, said during a keynote at the CTIA IT and Entertainment show here on Wednesday. "We are committed to mobile just as much as we are to PCs." The past couple of weeks have seen a bit of a coming-out party for XXX's mobile products. Earlier this month, it announced that its Rxxxxx music service would be offered to Sssss mobile customers. And on Tuesday the company touted a big win with its announcement that ppppp will provide the mobile operator with technology that allows people to watch streaming video on their cell phones. The ppppp deal is key for XXX as it moves into the mobile entertainment market. Its biggest rival, vvvvv, is being used to deliver streaming TV over eeee's network. The race between the two companies to provide the technology to make this functionality a reality is in full force. "People want the fastest access to their stuff," jjjjj, vice president of consumer data services for ppppp said, joining yyyyy onstage during his keynote. "And that's what XXX does for us." Cell phone operators are banking on mobile entertainment to boost revenues. A quick ramp-up in sales over the past 18 months from other non-voice services, such as text messaging and ring tones, has led many mobile operators to expand their offerings of entertainment content, including full-length music tracks, streaming video and games.	Translation - Japanese XXX社、携帯電話事業に参入 PC上で一般ユーザーに向けた音楽やゲーム、ビデオコンテンツの配信サービスを行なう同社では、携帯電話のコンテンツ配信事業を開始した。「携帯電話における娯楽コンテンツには無限の可能性がある」。 XXXの創設者であり最高経営責任者（CEO）のyyyyy氏は水曜日、『CTIA IT and Entertainment』の基調講演でこのように述べた。「今後はPC事業と同様に携帯電話事業にも力を注いでいきたい」。 XXXは、ここ2週間で携帯電話向け製品の発表を相次いで行なっている。今月初めには、同社の主要なデジタル音楽配信サービス「Rxxxxx」を、Sssssの加入ユーザーに向けて提供すると発表した。さらに火曜日には、pppppが、携帯電話でストリーミング動画閲覧を可能にする技術を同社に提供することを大々的に発表した。 pppppとの提携は、XXXにとって携帯娯楽コンテンツ市場への参入にあたって重要な手がかりとなっている。同社最大のライバルであるvvvvvは、eeeeのネットワーク技術によって、TVのストリーミング配信を行なっている。この2社間の競争が相互に作用し合って、技術革新を加速化させているのだ。「ユーザーは携帯電話に対し、よりスピーディなアクセスを求めている」。 pppppの消費者データサービス担当副社長jjjjj氏は、yyyyy氏の基調講演の壇上に上がり、このように述べた。「XXXが、それを可能にしてくれるのだ」。携帯電話各社は、収益向上のための策として、携帯娯楽コンテンツに期待を寄せている。最近18ヶ月間で、ショートメッセージや着メロといった通話外サービスの売上高が飛躍的な伸びを見せていることもあり、多数の携帯電話会社が楽曲配信や動画やゲームのストリーミングを含む携帯娯楽コンテンツサービスの拡充を図ろうとしている。
English to Japanese: An excerpt from a book on history of Indian geographical survey General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Geography
Source text - English Pressed about why Mount Everest is so named I would once, perhaps like most people, have come up with the explanation that it was as good a name as any. For a geographical feature of such obvious permanence and precedence, `Everest' seems to say it all. Up there, more aloof from the bustle of life than anywhere else on earth, the raised snows proffer a pledge of peace, a promise of lasting repose, of being 'ever-at-rest'. Presumably some international body had ordained the name; or perhaps it was a translation of the mountain's local title. It scarcely mattered. Either way, it was perfectly acceptable. But, as I now know, these suppositions were totally wrong. That the world's highest point is in fact called after George Everest, a controversial British Colonel who had never even seen the mountain, let alone climbed it, first dawned on me when I was writing a book about the exploration of Kashmir. Everest did not feature in the region, either as man or moun-tain, but an institution, dear to the Colonel's heart and known as the Survey of India, did. Most of Kashmir, including the Karakoram mountains, had first been measured and mapped by men of the Indian Survey. And the Survey being a government department within British India's bureaucratic Leviathan, it had generated copious records.	Translation - Japanese エベレスト山という名前の由来について、かつて私が考えついたことは、おそらく大多数の人と同様、それが最もふさわしい名前だからというものであった。その地理的特徴の持つ明白な不変性と優位性から、“最高峰（Everest）”という呼称はすべてを言い表しているかのように思える。地球上のどこよりも高く、下界の喧騒を遠く離れた場所。山頂の万年雪が永遠に続き、安らかな静けさをもたらす場所。まさしく“悠久の静寂（ever-at-rest）”の地である。名づけたのはどこかの外国人か、あるいは現地での呼称を翻訳したものか。いずれにしても重要な問題ではない。かの山の姿を言い表すのに申し分のない名前だからだ。だがそれは全く誤った推測だったのだ。この世界最高峰の山は、ジョージ･エベレスト大佐という、エベレスト山を一度も見たこともなければ登ったこともない、議論好きな人物にちなんだものなのである。私がこの事実を初めて知ったのは、以前カシミール地方の探検についての本を執筆した際のことだった。エベレストという名称には、人や山はおろか、その地域一帯の特徴を示す意味も込められてはいない。英領インド時代の測量局長官として知られたエベレスト大佐の精神に敬意を表したものなのである。カラコルム山脈を含むカシミール地域の大半を初めて測量し、地図を作成したのは、かつてのインド測量局の者達である。この測量事業は、英領植民地時代にインド統治政府の一組織として計画されたものであり、膨大な数の記録を残している。
