次の英文を読み、下線部(1)、(2)を和訳しなさい。
(1)Our efficiency in living our lives as ordinary human beings depends on what we do with information: what we ignore in it, what guidance to immediate action we accept from it, how we store it and how we use the store. Crossing the road safely obviously involves selection: we disregard available information about, say, shop-window displays and pay attention to traffic. But there is more to it than this: we make guesses about the future from things we notice in the present. Our decision when to cross the road, though made apparently in a flash, depends on estimates based on past experience of similar situations: about, for instance, the speed of a car, the skill of a cyclist, the temper of a taxi driver, the state of the road surface and the behaviour of other *pedestrians; and is perhaps also influenced by an article on road accidents we have recently read. If we have made a good guess we shall have predicted correctly (2)where we shall be in relation to the approaching traffic during all the time taken to make the crossing and we shall get safely over the road. (注)*pedestrian 歩行者 [立命館大]
