"What you think is what you feel" よくWYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)は聞きますが、what you think is what you feelはどのように訳したらいいでしょうか？ 認知行動療法について読んでいる時にこの文を目にし、いろいろとうまい訳を考えたのですが、なかなかしっくりきません。 「考えた通りに感じる」 「感じ方は考え方による」 「どう感じるかはあなたがどう思っているかにかかっている」 どうでしょう？

Pope Francis Pope Francis is visiting the United States for the first time right now. I am not religious and I don't have a very good image of organized religion. This may be because of how rigid and inflexible some religious people and organizations are, and also the hypocrisies I see who claim to be devout believers of religions. However, Pope Francis seems like a very different type of religious leader and it made me want to understand more about world religions. I find his educational background of chemistry very interesting, and his interpretation of Christianity is very radical and in tune with the modern world compared to his predecessors. I stand aligned with his ideas of helping the people who are in less fortunate situations and caring about the environment we live in. Religions around the world have been causing so much pain and suffering to people all over the world, especially those affected by religious extremists and political clashes that are rooted in religious differences. I truly hope the emergence of Pope Francis will lead to a more compassionate world.

Is "Please hold" grammatically correct? When you call customer services, they ask you to "please hold," as in "please hold the line." Is it grammatically correct to just say "please hold," or is it a colloquial thing? Is it better to say "please hold the line"? Thank you:)

推測、推定、推論、推量・・・ 「推」が付く言葉が意外に多いことに気がつきました。推定、推測、推論、推量など状況に応じて一番相応しい言葉があると思います。例えば「推量」は何かの量（数など）をguessする時なのかなと思いましたが、辞書で調べてみると「相手の心中を推量する」という風にも使われています。どの言葉が一番適切なのか分かる簡単なルールなどを知っている方がいれば教えて欲しいです。

Being bilingual I was born and raised in Japan until elementary school, and moved to the US before middle school. I went back to Japan after graduating high school to go to a university in Japan. When people ask me if I am bilingual, I say yes. I speak and write in both languages. Am I a master in both of the languages? I can't say so with conviction. There are different degrees to being bilingual. I have been asked if I am "fully" bilingual, as in native status in both of the languages. For a long time I considered myself "fully" bilingual. I can express my feelings and read or listen and understand the languages well. Lately though, I feel like I am fooling people (and myself) when I tell them that. Can I express an exact same idea in both Japanese and in English in the same manner? I'm never 100% confident in my English grammar. I'm always reluctant to proofread in English for someone in fear of being called out that my English is not "native" enough. At the same time, whenever I try to correct someone's Japanese post on italki, I'm afraid that my correction may not be "correct". I tell myself I can't be the only one with this kind of insecurity... Or am I? Either way, I believe writing here and having people correct me really helps, both my language skills and my confidence. Hope I become comfortable enough soon so I could help more people learn the languages! And thanks always for the corrections by kind people:)

Fickle It's been a very long time since I wrote anything on italki... I could come up with a lot of excuses, but I will save them to myself. The other day, I was talking with a friend and I said that I am "fickle". My friend laughed and said, "You sound like you're from the middle age!" I wasn't offended, but I didn't really understand what he meant by it. He said that the word is not commonly used by people my age. I said that I was fickle with my hobbies. I like one thing, and next week I like other. I change my mind a lot. Is fickle not the word I should have used to describe myself? Is there a more appropriate word to describe myself?

情報を足してもいいのか？ 英語から日本語に訳す練習をしています。 Although the peer group in school is significant in the social experience of a growing child, the family unit remains fundamental throughout the entire life span of an individual. 学校の仲間は成長期の子どもの社会経験にとって重要だが、生涯に置いての基礎は家族にある。 この英文を読むと、つまりは「人に与える影響」のことを話しているのだと理解しているのですが、英文内には "influence" や "affect" などは含まれていません。でもこのように日本語に訳すとなんだか物足りない感じがします。 どうでしょう？
