Hola Andrés, cómo va? Trataré de ayudarte buscándole un significado en el contexto de cada palabra sin hacer una traducción directa. 1- PAD AOUND: se refiere a la forma como caminan los Japoneses, se quitan sus zapatos I caminan “silenciosamente, cuidadosamente, sigilosamente” 2- GOES OFF: básicamente significa terminarse, pero cuando se refiere a comida sería “se pudre” o “se descompone” 3- HELD: habla de un lugar (room), donde “se lleva a cabo”, donde “se hace” la ceremonia. 4- ZEALOUSLI: la traducción directa es ”celosamente”. Se refiere a que son “meticolosos”, extremadamente “cuidadosos” casi “maniáticos de la limpieza. 5- ENSHRINE: “consagra”, se refiere a que la identidad Japonesa es consagrada, conocida y reconocida mundialmente. Deseo que sirva de ayuda. La semana que viene voy a estar por tus pagos, espero que me traten bien... Saludos

Hi Andrés You could also say it this way: 1) They will remove their shoes and PAD AROUND in their socks -> WALK AROUND (to pad = to go on foot) 2) In a hot, humid environment like Japan’s, food GOES OFF quickly -> DECAYS/GOES TO WASTE (to go off = not good to eat or drink anymore because it is too old, past its best-before date) 3) In the room where the tea ceremony is HELD everything is absolutely clean -> In the room where they had their tea ceremony (original is better) 4) So why aren’t all Buddhist nations as ZEALOUSLY clean as Japan? -> you could leave it this word, but it stresses the enthusiasm or passion with which the country is kept clean. 5) Said to ENSHRINE the very soul of the Japanese identity -> I would like a little more context here, but you could use -> GLORIFY/DIGNIFY/ELEVATE I hope this helped.
