It's difficult to say whether economic independence is high... Explanation: 1) 自立経済 = economic independence 2) 性 = nature, disposition; quality; attribute 3) いい難い = difficult to say, unmentionable, inexpressible ---(Source for above definitions: Nelson's Japanese Character Dictionary) --- Rather than use phrasing such as "independence in the economy", I am using "economic independence" for 経済の自立性. (literally: independent nature of the economy --> economic independence) It's difficult to say whether (the characteristic of) economic independence is high. |

peer agreement (net): +3The economy is far from being fully independent Explanation: I don't think it's usually appropriate to translate "とは言い難い" literally, and the words "high" and "independence" do not usually correlate in English. |
