2. これは際物としても、こまやかな日航のサービスが業界の手本となった時代がある。おしぼり、調味料の個別包装も同社から世界に広まったという。以上、航空アナリスト杉浦一機さんの本で知った。残念ながら、書名は『地に墜（お）ちた日本航空』（草思社）だが

As for this as a topicality, there are times when service in frame and kana Japan Airlines has become model of industry.

3. 日航が米デルタ航空などと資本提携の交渉に入った。人減らし、赤字路線の廃止だけでは追いつかない経営危機である。甘い再建策に裏切られてきた銀行団は追加融資に腰が引け、「国の翼」のメンツを捨てて同業に助けを請う

Japan Airlines American delta aviation and the like and entered into the negotiation of capital tieup.

4. ジェット化までを顧みた「１０年史」にある。〈新しい時代の新しい事業を担う自負と、無際限な大空のいざないが心の支柱となった〉。日航の誕生は、占領状態の終わりに重なる慶事だった。独立国なら顔となる航空会社「フラッグ・キャリア」を持つべきだと官民が燃えた

5. 海外で暮らした頃、空港で見る日本の飛行機は里心をちくりと刺した。定期航路という見えない絆（きずな）に、故国とつながっている安らぎも覚えた。そこはかとない外資への抵抗感は、そうした心情の裏返しだろう

The Japanese airplane which is seen at time and the airport where it lives in the foreign country the [chi] chestnut stuck homesickness.

6. 企業の国籍にこだわる時代ではないが、身を削り、手を尽くしての選択なのか。どんな血を入れるにせよ、「心の支柱」に翻る旗がいまだに親方日の丸では、新政権も支援に身が入るまい。残り時間はそれほどない。

Is not the times when you adhere to the nationality of enterprise, but the body is shaved, the hand is exhausted and being selection? Inserts what kind of blood does, in the flag which flaps “the support of heart” still with the circle of boss day, new administration the body will not enter to support.
