Japanese to English: The legend of Damine Kannon Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - Japanese 正保元年（１６４４年）に日光寺を焼失、村人たちは再建しようと段戸山で木を伐って承応３年（１６５４年）に再建しました。ところが再建資材の中に御林（幕府が領有した山林）で伐採したものがあり、代官の耳に入ってしまったのです。御林検分に赤坂の代官がやってくることになり、盗伐の重罪を科せられる危機に直面した村人たちは、観音様に「村が三軒になっても、お祭りには必ず芝居を奉納しますから、田峯の村を救ってください」と願をかけたところ、検分の日が旧暦の６月というのに大雪で現地に入れず、代官は途中で引き返し、ひとりの罪人を出さずにすんだということです。
Translation - English In 1644, Nikko Temple was burned to the ground. The villagers decided to rebuild the temple and felled wood from Mt. Dando for the project, which was completed in 1654. Among their reconstruction materials, they logged sacred trees owned by the Shogun. News of the event found its way to the ears of a local magistrate, and it was decided an inspector would be dispatched from Akasaka to inspect the forests.
The village people, faced with the prospect of being punished for the serious crime of illegal logging, went to plead with Kannon: “If you’ll save Damine, we’ll always hold a performance in your honor during the festival, even if only three families remain in the village!” On the day of the inspection, which fell in June, there was a great blizzard, and the inspector, unable to enter the forest, turned back without punishing a single villager.
Japanese to English: What is a mortgage? Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - Japanese 住宅ローンでは、金融機関から融資を受けて、元利金を毎月返済して、ローンを完済して初めて住宅が自分のものになります。住宅ローンを組んだ人の立場からすると、毎月一定額が出ていく（＝キャッシュ・アウトフロー）代わりに、不動産の持分は（法的な意味は別にして）徐々に増えていきます。ローンを貸し付けた金融機関から見ると、毎月一定額が返済される（＝キャッシュ・インフロー）代わりに、不動産の持分は減少します。
Translation - English In a mortgage, you receive a loan from a lending institution. Every month, you pay off a part of the principal plus interest, and when the entire amount is paid off, for the first time, the property belongs completely to you. From the perspective of the person who took out the mortgage, in exchange for paying out a fixed sum (cash outflow) each month, their share in ownership of the property (putting aside the legal meaning of ownership) gradually increases. If you look at it from the perspective of the institution that grants the mortgage, in exchange for a fixed sum each month (cash inflow), their share in ownership of the property gradually decreases.
