行政(機関)の方 a government official OR a governmental organization Explanation: 大学教授からでなくという部分を見ると、このひとは以前から何度も大学教授から推薦状を貰っているわけです。ですがこんどははじめて行政機関から貰ったということのようです。その行政機関も国なのか地方自治体なのか文脈からだけではちょっとわかりませんが、とにかく government でいいでしょうと思います。ただしこれまた推薦状を貰った相手が組織なのか個人なのか不確かですが、「方」とあるので個人でしょう。 ただし二番目の答えは組織と考えての答えです。 とまあそんな風に考えてこの答えになりました -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs 44 mins (2004-12-05 03:45:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- hinata さんが指摘なさったことはよい点ですね。「かた」ではなく「ほう=方面」というふうになれば、私の答えの二番目のほうになります。 |
