英語の発音はとても不便! 英語の発音はとても不便だと思います。 I think English pronunciation is pretty inconvenient. 私は子供の時から英語を話して始めましたが今でも問題をかかえています。 I started speaking English as a child, but I still have problems with it. 「months」などがとても難しくて私の発音は[monts]とほとんど同じでしょう。 "months" for example, is very hard for me; My pronunciation is closers to "monts". しかも英語のスペルはろんりてきじゃなくて「dough」と「cough」と「through」はほとんど同じスペルですが発音はとても違います。 Additionally, English spelling is very inconsistent; "dough", "cough", and "through" all have almost the same spelling, yet they're pronounced very differently. 日本語のスペルはすごくろんりてきだと思いますでも高低アクセントはとても難しいだと思います。 I think Japanese spelling is incredibly consistent. However, pitch accents give me quite a bit of trouble. 以下のとおりに英語のスペルのポエムあって私には難しい。それもアメリカ人がこのポエムを話すYoutubeのビデオあります。英語のスペルはおかしいでしょねえ。 Below is a fun poem on English spelling, it's difficult even for me. I've also included a youtube video of an American speaking the poem. English spelling is pretty strange, isn't it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRe-j2EC1j8 take it you already know Of tough and bough and cough and dough? Others may stumble but not you On hiccough, thorough, slough and through. Well done! And now you wish perhaps, To learn of less familiar traps? Beware of heard, a dreadful word That looks like beard and sounds like bird. And dead, it's said like bed, not bead- for goodness' sake don't call it 'deed'! Watch out for meat and great and threat (they rhyme with suite and straight and debt). A moth is not a moth in mother, Nor both in bother, broth, or brother, And here is not a match for there,sさささ Nor dear and fear for bear and pear, And then there's doze and rose and lose- Just look them up- and goose and choose, And cork and work and card and ward And font and front and word and sword, And do and go and thwart and cart- Come, I've hardly made a start! A dreadful language? Man alive! I'd learned to speak it when I was five! And yet to write it, the more I sigh, I'll not learn how 'til the day I die.

How would I translate this text into Japanese? The text below is an excerpt from a quote I'm trying to translate into Japanese for practice (If you're curious, it is "pale blue dot" by Carl Sagan). It's a bit difficult, but I thought it would be a fun exercise. " On that dot everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives." My current guess is そこに会った人と知ってた人と聞いたひとと生きていた人がいました。 But since this is sentence is much more complicated than what I'm used to, I was hoping for some help. Thanks!
