Need a word or phrase translated?

[kipwheaton]

I have 2 antique pictures can anyone translate the writing on them for me?

 

[Toritoribe]

the first picture
（辛？）南夏
露茜瑪琍

That's not Japanese. The second line is a Chinese transliteration of Lucy Mary, and the stamp 路茜馬利 is also another version of Lucy Mary, Judging from the way it's written, it seems that the writer actually didn't know kanji, or at least was not familiar with writing kanji.

the second one
Seems like a Japanese surname 来井, reading Yodoi, Kurui, Kii, etc.

Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it!

見方 is a typo of 味方.

Two interpretations are possible;

その人以外のなにものでもない誰かのために
自分以外のなにものでもない自分のために
for someone who is not someone else than them
for me who is not someone else than me

and

特別ななにものかではない誰かのために
特別ななにものかではない自分のために
for someone who is not someone special (a special person)
for me who is not someone special (a special person)

I prefer the latter one.

By the way, it reminds me of a climax scene of a manga (and the movie version of it). Right before a naginata match, two girls, protagonist (ordinary player) and her rival (genius player), had a monologue in their minds (the first line is said by the protagonist, the second is by the rival, and the last is said by both of them at the same time).

何者でもない私が、何者かになるためには
何者かであるべき私が、それを証明するためには
踏み出さなくてはならない。

何者 means "a special person" here.

Thank you very much, Toritoribe! That helps a lot! I thought 何者でもない had a more negative meaning, like "a nobody", someone worthless, but with your explenation it makes much more sense

What are you going to translate it to? I think nobody is the most natural English word. (Nobody doesn't always mean worthless.)
I suppose you could go with
for someone who's not special
for me who's not special

I actually have to translate it into Polish But I think I will go with something similar to
for someone who's not special
for me who's not special

I have another favour to ask. Could anyone help me with translating the phrase ありゅいっ? Here's the page where it's taken from. The girl is thanking her firend for setting up her email address.

 

[Toritoribe]

That's just a lapse of the tongue. She failed in pronouncing あり（がとう）. (I don't know the context exactly, but because of being tense/nervous, perhaps.)

Okey, that must be it. Yes, she is nervous in that scene. Thank you, Toritoribe!

Hi, could someone tell me, what 攻撃の反動で動けない mean?

 

[Toritoribe]

反動 means "reaction/back action", so 攻撃の反動 often refers to something like "ill effects" caused on the attacker by the attack.

Thank you Toritoribe. So, this whole sentence would mean: As the effect of the attack I (or he or she) cannot move?

 

[Toritoribe]

Yes, that's correct.
