  1. Thanks! We talked about the word "resources" and about how it refers to money (funds) is this case. So, 資金 is a better translation than 資源, in this case.

    The word "lament" is a pretty difficult one, I think.

    Keep up the good work!

  2. I understand your comment. but why the word "lament" is a difficult?
    Is the word "Lament" means here "オバマ大統領に失望する" , right?

  3. The reason that I wrote that "lament" is difficult is that this word is not used very often and so I think there are probably a lot of young people (junior high school or high school students) in the U.S. who do not know it.
