問題A.下線部(a), (b) を英訳しなさい。
A novel by Soseki Natsume begins, "I am a cat. I don't have a name yet."
Practically all human beings are given names when they are born. A name
is important. 名前があってこそ、その人を,ほかの人から識別できる。
(a)
This is not restricted to human beings. Animals and plants also have
names. Just as in the case of human beings, once one becomes interested in
a bird or a flower, one wants to know its name. 美しい花は,名前を知ろう
が知るまいが美しい, という考え方もあるかもしれぬ。
(b)

you first learn its name, you come close to the substance for the first time.

My friends tell me that volunteer work is good for the community, and that
I'll learn more about English culture. I understand that, but I'm still not
sure. What would you do? Can you give me some advice?
