大学の過去問の解説なのですが、この文脈で急にカミソリが出てくるのはおかしくないですか?razor pointの訳しかたは本当にカミソリであってるのでしょうか、それともそういう名前のペンがあったりしますか?

Ioana がこのように述べた時の状況を押さえるべく, 下線部の2文に Iran into her one day at the college bookstore, frozen in the aisle with all the pens and pencils. She was leaning limply against the shelf, looking sick. 「ある日、大学の書店で彼女に出会った。 ペンや鉛筆の並ぶ通路で固まっていた。 彼女は棚にぐった りともたれかかり、うんざりしているように見えた」 とある。 「アメリカでの生活がほんとうにいやになる」とは, 彼女がこのような状態の時を指すと考えられる。では何故このような状況になっているのか、 その理由は,その後 に続く文章 In my country, we had three kinds of pens. And many times there was a shortage no pens at all. In America, there are more than fifty different kinds. Which one do I need for my biology class? Which one for poetry? Do I want felt tip, ink, gel, cartridge, erasable? Ballpoint, razor point, roller ball? One hour I am here reading labels." 「私の国では、ペンは3種類だった。 そして、 何度もペンが足りなくなったことがあった。 アメリカでは、50種類 以上ある。 生物の授業にはどれが必要? 詩を書くにはどれがいい? フェルトペン、 インク、 ゲル、カートリッジ、 消せるもの、 どれがいいのか。 ボールペン、 カミソリ、ローラーボール? ラベルを読むのに1時間かかったよ。」 とある。つまり、ペンの種類が多いため選ぶのに時間がかかり, 「1時間ものあいだラベルを読んでいる」からこの ような状況になったと考えられる。 たとえば, Ioana は 「生物の授業にはどのペンが要るのだろう」と自問してい る。 Ioana がこのように自問自答して時間をかけている理由は, 本文なかほどの "Yes, finally. But it's impossible to know which is best. 「”はい、やっとです。 でも、 どれが一番いいのか、わからない。」 とある部 分に注目する。 Ioana の発言から分かるように, 彼女が最終段落でいうところの satisficing の戦略をとらず, つまり十分なもので満足せずに, which is best 「最良のもの」を求めているからである。 以上より, 「最良のもの を選択するのに時間がかかるから」 という要素が解答の核をなすこととなる。 この 「最良のものを選択するのに時間がかかるから」 という要素は, Ioana が先に説明する a student apartment 「学生アパート」 の例についても言える。 かつ, これは Ioana の Everything is so complicated. という発言より も, 「アメリカでの生活がほんとうにいやになるとさがある」 と I が言う理由として具体的でかつ直接的な ivunu

A study conducted by the Pew Research Center (looked into the state-to-state moving patterns of Americans.) The study zens examined each state (to determine how many of their ad have moved there from othe these residents) are called "ma es of study also s both S investigated what percent of adults born in each state are still living there.) States high in these numbers are called "sticky" states. The study were magnet and sticky, while others were found that some states neither. There were also states that were only magnet or only sticky. (2) Figures 1 and 2 show how selected states rank 6n magnet and sticky scales respectively. Florida is a good example of a state that ranks high on both) Seventy percent of its current adult population was born in another state; at the same time, 66% of adults born in Florida are still living there. (On the other hand, West Virginia is neither magnet (only 27%) nor particularly sticky (49%). (In other words, it has few newcomers, and relatively few West Virginians stay there. Michigan is a typical example of a state which is highly sticky, but very low magnet, (In contrast, Alaska, which ranks near the top of the magnet scale, is the Vi least sticky of all states.
