                (The problem for Taro is that he doesn't understand English.)
          In addition, because of  the particle wa, ni  wa gives a sense of  contrast in
          some contexts while ni totte does not. In [la], for example, the sentence with
          ni wa can imply that not for others but for us, or at least for us, this is a prob-
          lem which cannot be ignored. The sentence with ni totte does not have this
          implication.
