Hello again ~

I've fallen in love with the ideas of Furude Rika-chan, and would highly appreciate it if someone could translate what she says in English to romaji Japanese. I tried doing it myself, but because of bad tools to work with the text, I find myself doubting the results I get. So please, if you have a couple of minutes, could you translate what she says from 1:50 to 2:48? The english text (from subtitles) is:

"This repeating time. This repeating world. These people, constantly contesting fate, struggling time and time again through all the despair and tragedy thrown at them... I have not forgotten. Is that the same with you? Well, then... In this newly born world, is the pursuit of my happiness, and the probability of a blissful world being born, is that comfort enough for the blood and tears of the sinless? I do not know. Even so, I want to protect the ones that are important to me. To tell you the truth, I am a bit tired..."

That confused me for a minute... XD I assume you're not actually asking for a translation, but for a transcription of the original Japanese, which corresponds to the parts of the English translation that you posted? Rika isn't saying anything in English, per se.

Anyway...

Uhm yeah, sorry, I didn't notice before now

You've been +repped, thanks

Who's advanced enough to translate this?

I'm thinking about buying another Sony MDR 7506 headphone or upgrade to CD 900ST...
http://www.geocities.jp/ryumatsuba/mdr-cd900st.html

Spoiler for MDR CD900ST review:

音質
　フラット。低域は厚み･量ともに十分だが、ややぼやけている感じ。中域は低域の強いソースではやや埋もれる感じだが、基本的にはしっかり聴こえてくる。高域は派手さのない鳴らし方ながらそれなりの量が出る。
分解能、原音忠実性は非常に良い。音場感はいまいち。エージングによって多少は良くなるものの、エッジがきつくてソースの粗を拾いやすいため、非常に聴き疲れする。
明瞭さ、音の鮮やかさはいまいち。厚みはそれなり。低域がかなり出るので温かみは多少あるように感じられるが、それ以上のものはない。ヴォーカルの艶っぽさはいまいちだが、これは味付けがしていないだけだろう。ノリが良いわけでも繊細なわけでもない、モニター的な鳴らし方。響きは豊かで、こもり感が気になる。これも聴き疲れの一因。
弦楽器は繊細さや原音の粗は感じられるが、心地よさはない。金管楽器は鮮やかさが足りない。打ち込み系の音の表現は下手。全体的に締まりや鮮やかさがない。

装着感
良好。側圧は弱めだが、それほどずれやすくはない。ヘッドバンドはあまり柔らかくないが、意外と軽いため苦にならない。
イヤーパッドはかろうじて耳を覆うサイズだが、深さが浅いため耳に当たる。上下左右に角度調節ができる。材質はシワが気になる安っぽい人工皮革。

その他
遮音性は普通。音漏れ防止は良好。
デザインはいかにもスタジオモニター用といった感じで、良くはない。作りは悪くないが、イヤーパッドの材質は安っぽい。音質的にはプロのスタジオモニター用として圧倒的なシェアを誇るだけのことはあるが、あくまでモニター用で音楽鑑賞にはあまり向かない。
プラグは標準プラグ。ミニプラグ用ジャックに接続するには変換プラグが別途必要なのは難点。コードの太さは約3.5mm、硬さは普通。イヤーパッドのサイズは、外周98mm×78mm、内周58mm×38mm、深さ8mm。

付属品
無し

Pretty good translation

Just to tidy it up for you, though someone may double check my correction on the first line since it's niggling at me with a sense of uncertainty...

She used to think of him in almost the same way. (or 'amount', i wonder)
More than anything or anyone, he was very dear to her.
or
(He was a treasured person to her more than anything or anyone.)
Which is why, she decided to part from him.

ganbaru · 2009-11-24, 15:20

Thank for the correction, I just have to addapt it more to the context...

Edit, sorry , it seem than I can't give you cookies yet.

Faeyice · 2009-11-25, 22:56

The other day I sent a piece of fanart to the guitarist of a band I listen to, and when I got up this morning, I saw he posted an entry with the drawing on his blog. I can't ready any Japanese aside from hiragana and katakana, so I would really, really appreciate if someone would translate this for me. .__.

Japanese text in spoiler tag

Spoiler:

Good morning. Today, in the city... the morning was very cold, while the afternoon was quite warm. It seems like it'll get colder again later though.

(not sure about this line) Bracing myself, I put up this post.

This morning, I received this in my Puchi mail. It was such a great picture that I couldn't help but upload it.

Yup! He's such a splendid prince.
I never expected that the prince would get beautified so much if he was made into an anime character. He makes me feel all mushy inside.

I would definitely love it if this prince could appear in a manga somewhere. But no boy's love!

Alright, until next time...

Faeyice · 2009-11-26, 13:02

Ah, thank you so much!!!

Many of us can read it, do you want it romanised or translated though?

gaikokujinsan ga "yamato da! tanjoubi omedetou!" to itteru gazou ga ritobasu no suzu dattarishite naita.

As for a translation I'll have to pass the baton, cause that katakana just throws me off, plus the last verb 'naku' doesn't quite fit with 'ringing' a 'bell'.

gaikokujinsan ga "yamato da! tanjoubi omedetou!" to itteru gazou ga ritobasu no Rin dattarishite fuita.

ritobasu = Little Busters

Rin = character from Little Busters

ritobasu = Little Busters

Rin = character from Little Busters

I don't know where you guys got gaikokujin san, but it's gaijin san.

And the last verb is hiita, not naiita.

Correct Romanization is therefore:

gaijin san ga "yamato da! tanjoubi omedetou" to itteru gazou ga ritobasu no Rin dattarishite hiita.

Translation:

The foreigner swapped his picture to Little Buster's Rin while saying, "I am Yamato! Happy birthday."

lol *bows, emits the 'koku' and goes to write on the board 100 times:
"Must never attempt written Japanese when zombifed."

Sleep deprevation for 4 days is where I got the inability to read Japanese and see things that aren't there, but thanks for the correction. Even using Rikaichan, I still saw 'naku' instead of the 'fu' it so blantantly was.
鳴く【なく】 (v5k) (1) to sing (bird), (2) to bark, to purr, to make sound (animal), (P)
(I know, only the 'mouth' radical is the same) x.x;;;

Quote:

But I do have a question, where did 'to swap' come from?

Quote:

And the last verb is hiita, not naiita.

吹く【ふく】 (v5k) (1) to blow (wind, etc), (2) to emit, to spout, (P)
Leopard got it right with 'fuita', and all related verbs with this kanji are with the action 'to blow'.

吹き荒ぶ【ふきすさぶ】 (v5b) to blow fiercely, to rage
吹き荒む【ふきすさむ】 (v5m) to blow violently
吹き荒れる【ふきあれる】 (v1) to blow violently, to sweep over, to devastate
吹き降り【ふきぶり】 (n) driving rain
吹き散らす【ふきちらす】 (v5s) to scatter, to blow about

So the last part:
だったりして吹いた

- Is still somewhat vague, care to shine a lil more light, Sylphic?

PS: Thanks Leopard for the contextual reference (anime/manga?), there, it's always fun to try to translate without any cultural reference to some things.

You're welcome! Sorry for being unable to translate the phrase but my English is really poor...

About Little Busters: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%...3%BC%E3%82%BA!

Edit: About the 「吹いた」 my understanding is: 外人さんが「やまとだ！誕生日おめでとう！」と言ってる画像がリトバスの鈴だったりして（ケーキのろうそくを）吹いた。

I took a little bit of liberty when adding to swap.

Literally it means, he made, i guess "changed?" his picture into Rin from little busters.

That's what the shite part implies. The tari from dattari implies that he was doing this while he was saying that quote.

Dee Eon · 2009-11-30, 09:31

Hi!

I'd much appreciate a translation of this please?

リクの頻度を見る限り、外人さんたちって結構やまと好きなのかな。
それとも同一人物がひたすらやまとリクをしてきているだけなのかな。

I was wondering if someone could give me the Kanji for the virtue "Courage". I'm doing a presentation and I cannot figure out which form is correct and too be honest, I feel a bit over my head. I have no experience with reading/writing/understanding kanji at all >_>;

I have to put this vertically on a poster so if you could make it larger font so it's easier to read, that would be amazing. And possibly explain how to write it vertically (if necessary) :x

Also, would courage be 1, 2, 77 characters? Like I said I'm not familiar with kanji but I figured it would be 1-2 at most? I'm pretty pathetic about this, I know ;_;

ANY help would be MOST appreciated! Thanks!!
