質問: 以下の問題で添削ついでに質問があるのですが、 suffer は能動態で使うのでしょうか? 受動態で使うのでしょうか? 問題 「もしボランティア活動をするとしたら、あなたはどのようなことをしたいか。理由とともに70語程度の日本語で述べよ。」 回答 [I`d like to go to an area which has sufferd from a severe natural disaster,like a flood or an earthqueke,and help its victims. This is because I sufferd through the great Hanshin earthquake and I am very grateful to the volunteers working in Kobe,who helped me a lot. I was deeply moved by their self-sacrificing attitude. I`d like to repay their kindness by participating in volunteer work to help suffering people.] 訳 「私は洪水や地震などの深刻な自然災害の受けた地域に行き、被害者を助けたい。わけは私は阪神大震災を受け、私を手助けしてくれた神戸でのボランティアにとても感謝しているからだ。私は彼等の献身的な態度に深く感動した。被害者を助けるボランティアに参加することで彼等の親切に恩返しをしたい。」

I know people there really need helpful hands in their every daily life. I was so deeply moved by self-sacrificing works given by volunteer group who assisted us to recover our daily life. I know I can repay their great works when I can help other people in need.
