今回はjuggle (with)を取り上げます。
『ジーニアス英和辞典』(第五版,大修館)で調べたところ、ジャグリングの他に「(事実・数字などを)ごまかす(with)」、「(二つ以上の仕事などを)どうにかうまく取り扱う(with)」、「(予定など)を調整する」などと載っておりました。
Oxford Dictionary of English(Second Edition Reserved, Oxford University Press)によると、 “cope with by abroitly balancing (several activities)”、 “misrepresent (something) so as to deceive or cheat”とのことでした。
以上から文中の “juggle his shogi career with schoolwork”は、「将棋と学業を両立する」となるかと思います。
文武両道が適切な言葉か分かりませんが、どちらも頑張ってほしいです。(Gomez)
