斜め前の外人さんがイケメンすぎる件

"[situation:] the foreign guy diagonally in front of me is just too good-looking"

See below for the sentence. I understand main idea of it. However, I am puzzled why 子供を産む is repeated twice in "子供を産んだことも 子供を産むような行為をしたこと". I guess there is some difference between "子供を産んだこと" and "子供を産むような行為をしたこと", but I am not quite sure what exactly the difference is.


彼女が子供を産んだと騒ぐ周囲。
彼女は子供を産んだことも
子供を産むような行為をしたこともないとムキになる 。

Thanks in advance.

Seasons Greetings & thanks for that translate. Then, does that quote make better sense of this one that preceded it? 今日の外人さん「ミニ丈サンタワンピのみきさんを！」 オーケイわかった！

Thanks and have a Happy!

Quick question: anyone know what アオノリのパシリ is? Something to do with a maid cafe apparently. Don't think it's the seaweed aonori, but who knows. Any help is appreciated

”Aonori's gofer ”

"Aonori" is the nickname of Aoto Masanori in FORTUNE ARTERIAL.
"Pashiri" is an abbreviation "tsukai-ppashiri" or "tsukai-bashiri", mean errand　boy or gofer.

Oh..... yes, it was for the Fortune Arterial TL project and yes, I just jumped into one random route scenario so had no idea about any background whatsoever ^^;;

thanks alot~

From the sentence, I feel 子供を産んだこと means "parturition" and 子供を産むような行為をしたこと euphemistically means "sex", but need more contexts.

Thank you. That's what I guessed, but I am confused since this "ような" seems to be different from the usual "ような=like, similar to" that I read in other places. I feel it has a sense of "for the purpose of something" in this sentence, a usage that I have never seen before.

Auxiliary verb ようだ(youda) has three types of meaning.

1) Presumption (uncertain assertion) : 「明日は雪になるようだ」 "It is going to snow tomorrow."
2) Analogy : 「雪のように白い花」 "A white flower like snow."
3) Exemplification : 「あなたのように元気になりたい」 "I want to be healthy like you."

子供を生むような行為 is type 1, means "act to be expected that she will give birth to a child".
(Mmm, it's difficult to explain with my poor English. I hope what I wrote makes sense.)

I could not find a explanation in English. But I guess you can understand Japanese in following links.
http://www.geocities.jp/j_kawanishi2...kugo.html#youd
http://kids.gakken.co.jp/jiten/6/60009420.html

Type 1 has affinity with adverb どうやら. So you can find some examples below.

Uhm, one more.. ^^;

Anyone know what ぶわっくしょい is? I think it's something like "cheese", but not too sure. Or it was said in conjunction with taking photos anyway.

Sounds kind of like somebody sneezing...?

Yakamashii = same thing, but stereotypically used by older people towards kids, etc.

A literal translation of "shut up" would be Damare! -- "Be quiet!" -- but it's stronger than the other two and is more of an order than a telling-off.

But when shana says urusai, its a order that you should listen to

[Seitsuki]

eh heh, one more.

In the line だいたいメドがついています, what's メド referring to? Some sources I checked say it's some form of maid but I don't think that quite fits.

Oh and while I'm here if someone can help with these lines it would be nice <3

メド is 目処. It means an aim, or an outlook.
だいたいメドがついています
I(We) have the brief outlook.

なんでもギネスに挑戦するらしいよ
I heard they will submit their trial result to the Guinness Book of Records.

何段重ねられるかやってみるんだって
They will try how many (sheets? or something) they can stack.

I hope this helps you

[Seitsuki]

Thanks alot <3

Btw now I know that メド isn't some loanword, after checking seems that it's actually a phrase. 目処が付く, having a rough idea. Just fyi later xD

「だいたい目処が付いています」is also classic BS to use when your advisor/boss/coworker/etc. drops by to ask you how you're doing on that project you haven't started yet.

Thanks.

From left to right:

"The seabed really suits you bastards"

"Plan D- this is what we huh a pinch huh"

"Well, don't strain yourselves too much"

kinda lost at the last one.. 有澤重工, 雷電 literally kinda means something like "armoured fighting unit, thunder and lightning" but without context it's hard to place.
