次に示す英文は、僕なりの英訳案。>>247 を少し修正した。

>>246
(1) 言葉や態度、声のトーンは大事だと思う
　　I believe words, attitude, and tone are important.

(2) 彼が選んだ言葉で相手に与える印象は変わるんだから

(2) There are different forms of writing and different forms of engagement
with politics, and ★tone★ is going to differ.

(3) When conversation is the medium through which interactions take place,

Tone is notoriously tricky to define.
