English to Japanese: Ecudorian Shrimp Ceviche with Tomato Sauce and Choclo General field: Other Detailed field: Cooking / Culinary
Source text - English Ecuadorian Shrimp Ceviche with Tomato Sauce and Choclo - Ceviche de Langostinos In Euador, the seafood in ceviche is cooked briefly before it's marinated - a policy adopted after a large cholera outbreak in the early 1990's. Shrimp ceviche is especially popular in Ecuador, and it often has a delicious tomato sauce - a sort of Latin cocktail sauce. This shrimp ceviche has sweet, nutty Andean corn kernels (called choclo ) and red onions. In Ecuador shrimp ceviche is often served with toasted chulpe corn (cancha) on the side, chifles (fried plantain chips), and cold beer.

Cut the onion into the thinnest possible slices, slicing it with the cut side facing down so that the pieces are semicircular in shape. 2. Place the onion slices in a bowl of cold salted water, and let soak for 20 minutes. 3. Cook the corn kernels in a pot of boiling salted water until just tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. 4. If the shrimp is not cooked, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and add the juice of one lime to the pot. Boil the shrimp for one to two minutes, until just cooked. Drain shrimp and rinse with cold water. 5. De-vein the shrimp and trim off the tails, and place in a bowl. 6. Drain onions and rinse with cold water. Add onions and corn to bowl with the shrimp. 7.

English to Japanese: TRAVEL LEISURE/ Oct. 2010, MELBOURNE'S SEASIDE GETAWAYS General field: Other Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English ON FRIDAY AFTERNOONS from December through February - the golden peak of Australian summer - you can almost trace a line of cars heading out of Melbourne: a happy exodus of weekenders bound for the Mornington Peninsula, 56 miles south of Australia's sophisticated southern city. Chances are they're headed for Portsea or Sorrento, the two beach towns at the peninsula's far western tip. Comparing these celebrated communities to New York's Hamptons is not inaccurate, but doesn't convey their uniquely antipodean appeal. These are laid-back escapes, Aussie-style: surfing in the mornings, languid lunches, fish-and-chips on the beach at sunset.	Translation - Japanese メルボルン、浜辺への週末旅行１２月から２月にかけて、オーストラリアでは夏の真っ盛り。金曜の午後ともなると、メルボルンを後にする車の列が延々と続く。オーストラリアの洗練された南部の都市から南に５６マイルにある、モーニントン (Mornington) 半島で週末を楽しもうという、ウキウキ気分の人達による大移動だ。目的地はおそらく半島の西の端にある、二つの浜辺の町、ポートシー（Portsea) かソレント(Sorrento)。ニューヨークのハンプトンズ (Hamptons) にある有名な浜辺と比べるのは、まんざら間違いではないと思うが、南半球側でのユニークな魅力の点では、引けを取らない。オーストラリア人の典型的なくつろぎスタイルは、朝サーフィンを楽しみ、ゆっくりランチを取り、夕暮れに浜辺でフィッシュ・アンド・チップスを食べることだ。
English to Japanese: Acupressure Points General field: Medical Detailed field: General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Source text - English ACUPRESSURE POINTS Acupressure is an ancient art using finger pressure on specific points to unblock, balance, or increase the circluation of life force energy in the body. The roots of acupressure date back over four thousand years to traditional Chinese medicine. Hands-on folk remedies were passed down from generation to generation to cure ill- ness and relieve pain. In many indigenous cultures, grassroots people have traditions of rubbing or pressing areas of the body to relieve pain or emo- tional discomfort. The points demonstrated in the following section may be done on oneself, or with another person. The points chosen are ones that help relieve symptoms of stress: nervousness, anxiety, insomnia, sleep disorders, chronic pain, headaches, back pain, depression, fatigue, memory loss, dizziness and general body pain. The points can be used whenever symptoms occur, or even better, as a daily preventive practice for maintaining balanced en- ergy flow in the body. The flow of energy through meridians nourishes and balances the entire body. When this flow is restricted or blocked, physical or emotional sickness or pain results. Tension in the muscles usually indicates a blockage of energy that has accumulated around an acupressure point. The point is located by feeling for tension that appears as a tight area or knot in the muscle surrounding the point. When the acupressure point is held, the tension releases, permitting energy to flow more freely through the area, allowing the body to heal and balance itself naturally. Self Acupressure The following acupressure points may be held while seated or lying in a comfortable position. The points may also be held while at school, on the job, or wherever you are, whenever there is pain or discomfort. If you are able to, close your eyes and press the acupressure points for two to three minutes. Children need only about a minute for holding the points to clear and balance their energy. Their bodies have fewer blockages than adults. With fingertips slightly curved, press firmly into the point (using the bone inside the finger), then lighten the pressure until you begin to feel a pulsation or energy flow. Don’t worry if you can’t feel the energy pulse. After a while your fingers will get ac- customed to finding the pulse. The energy is flowing whether or not you feel it. Often acupressure points are painful or sensitive. This is normal and is considered to be “good pain” that wants to be released. You know you are finished holding a point when there is a change in the quality of the pulsa- tion. The energy pulse feels clear, strong, and balanced. You can enhance the energy flow by using visualization and deep breathing while doing self-acupressure. When you hold the point imagine that golden energy is circulating through the points and throughout your entire body bringing harmony and balance to your whole being. Breathe deeply and imagine the flow of golden energy. As you exhale, breathe out all the tension and pain associated with the point you are holding. Head Points Use these head points for headache, mi- graines, neck pain, tension, dizziness, depression, anxiety and stress. The points at the base of the skull can also be used to balance left and right (ra- tional and creative) sides of the brain to help focus attention and to think clearly and creatively. Points at Side of Head Interlace your fingers, place your hands behind your head and with the thumbs press the points at the left and right sides of the base of the skull in the hollows at the side of the head. Head Hold Place one hand high across forehead, the other hand rests lightly at the base of the skull. Hand Points for Headaches and Migraines Use these hand points for headaches, head congestion, migraines and upper body pain. Press into the point between the bones of the thumb and the index finger. This point is also good for pain in the upper part of the body. Contraindication: This point is used for labor at the time of childbearing, but should not be held dur- ing pregnancy because it starts the contraction of the uterine muscles. Shoulder Points Use these points for shoulder tension, stiff necks, worry stored in the shoulders, overwhelm, anxi- ety, nervous tension. With the index, middle and ring fingers press down lightly on top of the shoulders into the ridge formed by the trapezius muscles. If it is more com- fortable the arms may be crossed while holding the points. Stomach Points Use these points for stomach pain, tension or a knot in the stomach and solar plexus. With the index, middle and ring fin- gers of both hands press inward and upward under the cheek bones. For support while holding the points you can lean on your lap or onto a desk or table. Nausea These points help alleviate or control nausea, motion sickness, morning sickness, stress and anxiety. Locate the points a distance of two finger-widths away from the wrist joint between the bones on either side of the forearm. Constipation Use these points to promote regularity and to alleviate abdominal pain caused by constipation. The point should only be held for a few minutes. Press into the point between the base of the index and middle fingers on either hand. Diarrhea Several different points are helpful for controlling diarrhea or abdominal pain. Abdominal Point To locate the abdominal points, measure a distance of two finger-widths below the navel and four finger-widths below the na- vel, holding both points at the same time. Arch of Foot Press the point on the top of the arch of the foot. Hiccups To stop the reaction of hiccups. Ribcage Points With the index, middle and ring fin- gertips press points under the ribcage below the breasts while breathing deeply and relaxing. Points Behind the Ear With the index fingertip press the point in the indentation behind the earlobe. Immune System These points help boost the function of the immune system and strengthen natural resistance. Elbow Points With the index fingertips press the points on the outer crease of the elbow. Chest Points Press the points under the heads of the clavicles on either side of the sternum. Back These points help alleviate stress and tension in different part of the back. Points on the Back Make fists and with the knuckles press points on either side of the spine. Avoid pressing on top of the bones of the vertebrae. You can also put two soft tennis balls into a sock. Separate the balls sev- eral inches and lean into or lie on top of the balls to press the region of the back where there is pain. Or you can tie two knots in a towel or cloth to use for pressing the points. Arch of Foot The arch of the foot contains reflexology points that correspond to the back—the point at the top of the arch corresponds to the upper back; the center to the arch to the mid back or waist; the bottom of the arch is the lower back. Use a golf ball, a rolling pin, or an empty bottle to press into and massage the arch of the foot. Lower Back Back of Knee Point For lower back pain, press the points in the center in the back of the knee joint. These are called the lower back drain points. Points in Sacrum For pain in the sacral area, make fists and with the knuckles press the points on either side of the spine. Abdominal Pain & Cramps These two points alleviate pain in the abdomen caused by menstrual cramps and diarrhea. With index and middle fingers of both hands press two points in the abdomen, one is located at a distance of two finger-widths below the navel and the other at four finger- widths below the navel. Hold both points at the same time. Leg Pain & Energy Boost These points, called Three Miles More, are for pain in the lower body, for leg pain and for boosting energy. Press the points located on outer side of leg about a hand’s distance below the kneecap. To find the points, place the heels of the hands level with the knee caps, fingers pointing downward. Slide the hands a quarter turn outwards. Where the tip of the middle finger falls, poke around until you find a very sensitive point. This is the Three Miles More point. Focus & Balance Locate the acupressure points at the base of the skull in the indentation on either side of the head. These two point balance the rational and intuitive sides of the brain. These points can be held, tapped or massaged. Gently hold the two points for several minutes while breathing deeply. Imagine that your mind and spirit are filled with light, clarity and peace. Insomnia These points are helpful to relax and promote deep sleep, or can be used when unable to fall asleep. Points of Forehead and Chest With the fingertips hold the point in the center of the forehead along with the point in the center of the chest on the sternum and breathe deeply. Inner Ankle Point Press the point in the indentation below the front of the inner anklebone. Point Below Outer Anklebone Press the point in the indentation behind the outer ankle. Fingerholds and EFT The Fingerholds or the Emotional Freedom Technique are helpful to clear the stress of the day before sleeping. Sadness, Grief & Emotional Pain Emotional pain, sadness and grief are often stored in the chest area as a dull aching feeling. The following points can help to release these feelings: Center of the Chest With the fingertips of one hand hold the point in the middle of the sternum (breast bone). Collarbone Points Hold the points located in the indentation of the lower edge of the collarbone on either side of the sternum. Arm Socket Locate the points in the sensitive area in the outer part of the up- per chest near the arm socket, the distance of approximately four finger-widths up from the armpit. Abdominal Breathing Deep abdominal breathing helps to center the spirit. Put fingertips together, cross ankles and breathe deeply into your center to cre- ate a sense of peace, protection and connection with the Source of being. Sinus Use points for congestion, allergies and to open a stopped up nose. Points at Sides of Nose With the tips of the index fingers gently press the points in the indentation outside the base of the nostrils. Fingertips Press and massage the tips of the fingertips sinus congestion. Chest Congestion, Asthma, Grief Use these points for a tight chest, dif- ficulty with breathing, asthma and for grief and sadness that accumulates in the chest. Points below Collarbones With the fingertips gently press the sensitive points under the collar bones half way between the throat and the arm socket. Upper Arm Points With the fingertips press the points in the curve of the upper arm at the insertion area of the deltoid muscle (the area for shots and vaccinations). The palms of the hands can also hold over these points as a self-hug. For Eyes & for Calm The following points around the eyes are helpful for eye strain, headaches, and tension in the face. Press lightly the following: Points below the eyebrows on either side of the nose. Points above the eyebrows on either side of the nose. Points above the arch of the eyebrows. Points at the side of the eyebrows. Points beneath the eye on the bone. Fainting, Crisis & High Blood Pressure This point can be used on oneself or with another if a person is faint- ing or in crisis. Point Beneath the Nose With the index fingertip or knuckle of the finger, press into the point directly below the nose on the upper lip. Depression The following points are good for depression and heaviness of spirit to bring a sense of peace and inner quiet: Crown of head With fingertips hold lightly the top of the head.

Anxiety, Crisis & Overwhelm Point in the Outer Wrist Press the points in the indentation on the outside of the crease of the wrist, down from the small finger. Point on Top of the Shoulders With the fingertips of both hand hold the points on top of the shoul- ders. The arms may be crossed if this position is more comfortable. Points behind the Heart Reach over the shoulders and down the back to locate points between the spine and shoulder blades at the level of the heart. You may have to hold one point at a time if you are unable to reach these points. HAND MASSAGE Hand Massage and Reflexology The hands, wrists, and arms can hold much tension and pain, especially if a person works a lot with their hands. With five to ten minutes of hand massage you can relax a person and relieve pain in the body. There are many acupressure and reflexology points that affect internal organs and different parts of the body. Massaging hands, fingers, and joints can relieve many problems, including poor circulation and arthritis. If a person feels anguish or stress, you can give them healing care without any words. Hand massage can be done with people of all ages and conditions—children, teens, adults, the elderly, the sick or dying—anywhere and with or without oil or lotion. Soft music may be used during the massage. Directions for a Hand Massage • Place one hand of the person between your hands to create a connection and to peacefully center yourself. At this point you can apply lotion to the first hand, if desired. • Open the palm of the person’s hand, gently pressing the palm and stretching the muscles of the hand. Press the reflexology points covering the entire palm. • Massage the muscles and tendons between the bones of the hand. Support the wrist with your palm. Work from the wrists toward the fingertips. Massage the upper part of the hand. • Massage each finger and each joint visualizing the tension pouring out of the fingertips. • Massage the muscles around the wrist and forearm. • Massage the upper part of the arm moving towards the elbows. • Brush off any static energy that remains in the hand and arm. • To finish, place the person’s hand between your hands. Visualize warm light and energy entering the person, giving them what they need at the moment. • Do the same procedure with the other hand. Capacitar: Trauma Healing HAND REFLEXOLOGY POINTS 1.

Start with some lively drum or marimba music, or other music that is appropriate for the culture. Show the group different rhythms they can use on their bodies. If the group is seated, use the fingers and hands to make “drumstick” percussion on the lap—tapping with the fingertips, slapping with the palms, hitting with the fists, chopping with the sides of the hands, cupping with cupped palms, brushing lightly, etc. Each hand position has a different sound. With drumsticks in place start with one arm and lightly tap or cup or slap up and down the arm for an arm massage; then the other arm; then the shoulders, back, hips, thighs, legs, bottoms of feet, chest, neck, head, and face, working through all parts of the body. After you have covered the body, then go back and work on the part of the body that most needs relaxation. Depending on the amount of time, you can do this for a couple of minutes or for a longer period. Everyone feels so alive and vibrant with this massage. It’s a good exercise for depression and lethargy. This can also be done on another person, and has remarkable healing effects on all kinds of health problems. One researcher has synchronized the drumming to 90 beats per minute to generate deep trance states for healing persons with physical or emotional problems. Circle Massage Drum massage can easily be done in a circle with everyone working on the shoulders of the person in front of them. You can also do regular shoulder and head massage this way, working on the trapezius muscles and back, then a head rub, and finishing off with brisk back circles (clockwise for energy, counter-clockwise to relax) down the spine. A massage circle can be lots of fun. Use this dynamic if the group is tired and needs to be energized. Within this playful context, most people do not have the fear of physical touch as they might with a one-on-one massage. This is also a good dynamic with youth who might be embarrassed to touch each other in a seated massage. 50 CROSS-LATERAL EXERCISES During the day we have high and low energy cycles that are related to the activity of left and right hemispheres of the brain. When the left hemisphere is dominant, we are better attuned to logic and sequential thinking. This is followed by another period of greater activity of the right hemisphere, when random, creative and spatial abilities dominate. The left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body and the right hemisphere the functions of the left side. The left and right sides of the brain are connected by a bridge of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum that is responsible for communication between the hemispheres. Movement exercises, such as cross laterals, create more cross-hemispheric activity, helping us to regulate our energy cycles as well as balance both sides of their brain. Cross laterals are exercises whereby the left or right limb crosses over the visual field to the opposite side of the body. All of these cross-laterals are energizing and can help us when feeling “off balance” to think more clearly and improve coordination. The exercises are fun and can easily be done in a playful way. The Healthy Thump Tap the points just below your collarbone on both sides of the sternum. This practice assists with energy flow, balance and wellbeing. Tapping Acupressure Points Gently tap the acupressure points on either side of the skull behind the ears for about a minute. Tap the right and the left at the same time. The Cross Crawl This exercise is like marching in place. Begin by lifting the right arm and the left leg at the same time. As you lower the right arm and left leg, lift the left arm and the right leg. Continue the marching exercise for a minute. Exaggerate the movement by swinging your arms across the front of your body and lifting and crossing your leg toward the opposite side. Variations As you march in place tap the opposite knee. Or stand in place and touch the opposite elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle and hip. Repeat on opposite side. Scissors This is done in a seated position. Extend the arms and legs out from the body and simply cross the arms and legs in front of you in a scissors motion. Continue this for about a minute. As arms and legs are crossing, you can also rotate your head from side to side.	Translation - Japanese 指圧療法のつぼ　　指圧療法は決まったつぼを指で押し、体の中の生命力エネルギーの循環の閉塞をなくしたり、バランスを保ったり、向上させたりする古代からの技です。指圧療法の歴史は4千年前の伝統的な漢方医学にその根源があります。手を使った家庭療法は代々受け継がれ、病気を治し、痛みを和らげて来ました。その土地の様々な文化、草の根を通して、人々は痛みのある箇所、又は精神的な苦痛を感じる部分を擦ったり、押したりする伝統がありました。そのつぼは次の箇所を自分で、又は他の人に押してもらう事で効果があると実証されました。つぼは以下の症状を和らげる目的で、選定してあります。ストレスの症状、緊張、不安、不眠、睡眠障害、慢性的な痛み、頭痛、腰痛、ウツ、疲労、記憶障害、目まい、全身疼痛。その症状が起きた時、又は日頃、生命力のエネルギーの流れをスムースにする為の予防措置として、つぼを使用できます。エネルギーの流れは経線を通して、全身に栄養分を与え、バランスを取ります。この流れが制限されたり、閉塞されたりすると、肉体的、精神的な病気或いは痛みを引き起こします。筋肉における緊張は、よくエネルギーの閉塞を示し、つぼの周囲に集中します。つぼは、緊張を感じる場所であり、その周囲にある筋肉における硬いところ、又はこりなどとなってるところにあります。指圧療法が施されると、緊張がほぐれ、限られていたエネルギーがもっと自由に、その箇所に流れ、その結果、自然に体が治り、バランスが取れます。自分で行う指圧療法　　楽な姿勢で、座って、又は横になり、次の様な指圧療法を施す事ができます。これは、学校にいる時、仕事をしている時などどこにいても、痛みや不調を感じた時に行えます。出来れば、目をつむり、つぼの部分を2，3分押してください。子供の場合は、1分だけで、エネルギーが通ってバランスが取れます。子供の体は大人に比べてエネルギーの閉塞が少ないと言えます。指先を少し丸め、つぼを強く押し、（指の骨を使います。）パルス、またはエネルギーの流れを感じるまで、その押し方を緩めます。エネルギーのパルスが感じられなくても、気にする事はありません。しばらくすると、指が指圧療法に慣れて来て、パルスを探し出す事ができるようになります。エネルギーは感じる感じないにかかわらず、流れます。しばしば指圧のつぼは、痛みを感じたり、敏感になっています。これは自然な事であり、和らげてもらいたい「良い痛み」と考えられています。パルスの動きに違いを感じた時が、つぼから指を離していい時です。エネルギーのパルスが通って強くバランスが取れたと感じます。これを行う時、頭の中でこの動作を描きながら、深呼吸する事で、エネルギーの流れを増進できます。深呼吸し、素晴らしいエネルギーの流れを想像してみて下さい。息を吐く時、緊張感や、抑えているつぼに関連する痛みを全部吐き出してください。
