「of」の意味、使い方
以下はBBCの記事とｸﾞｰｸﾞﾙの翻訳ですが、Police in the western Indian state of Gujaratの訳が以下は適切だと思うのですが、この文章のofを「の」と訳すと「ｸﾞｼﾞｬﾗｰﾄ州のｲﾝﾄﾞ西部の」となって、ｲﾝﾄﾞ西部がｸﾞｼﾞｬﾗｰﾄ州の中にあることになっておかしいと思います。
この「of」は対等の意味で、インド西部の州であるｸﾞﾗｼﾞｬｰﾄという意味ですか。それなら、ofでなくてｶﾝﾏ「,」が良いのではと思うのですが、「of」が普通ですか。
Police in the western Indian state of Gujarat have arrested seven people for allegedly beating a soldier to death.
