彼女(かのじょ)が出(だ)す指示(しじ)はいつも正確(せいかく)だ。: She is exact in all the instructions she gives.
最近(さいきん)ドル先安(さきやす)感(かん)が強(つよ)まっているなかで、為替(かわせ)相場(そうば)は米(べい)経済(けいざい)指標(しひょう)に対(たい)する反応(はんのう)はかなり限定的(げんていてき)である。: As expectation increases that the dollar will weaken, the foreign exchange market's reaction to US economic indicators has been fairly muted.
基本的(きほんてき)に翻訳(ほんやく)は訓練(くんれん)してないから出来(でき)ないとは言(い)いつつ、正(ただ)しい翻訳(ほんやく)よりも例文(れいぶん)として自然(しぜん)な表現(ひょうげん)を目指(めざ)すという目標(もくひょう)が掲(かか)げられると、これはなかなか病(や)みつきになる体験(たいけん)かもしれない。: Fundamentally, you're not practicing anything by translating, so even if you say that you can't do it, once you've set your sights on a similar sentence you've seen before that is more natural yet does not quite convey the original sentence's nuances, translation proves to be an act that is quite addicting.
