次の英文を呼んで、下線部(1)および(2)を和訳せよ。
It is not true that age and position play no part in American social relations, but they do not have the kind of absolute value which they do in Japan. The United States is not so strictly organized into various levels as Japan.
Friendships do form among students of the same age and school class, of course. (1)It is easier to make friends with people you meet every day in class and with whom you enjoy sports. As you grow up together you share similar problems at the same time, which tends to make you feel comfortable with one another. Those in a grade above you seem to be much older and have experiences in life which you have not yet encountered and therefore do not understand so well. (2)You have already passed through some experiences still to be met by those in the grades below you. So there is some element of feeling superior and inferior to others in respect to age and class in the United States, just as there is in Japan. [京産大]
