Need a word or phrase translated?

[silly_god_disc0]

Okay, okay. There isn't a whole lot from the original piece to put up here to give more context, so I guess I'll explain a bit myself.

This is a little blog-like thing written by a member of a band. "Tour Goods" actually refers to the items that a band sells at concerts, not a place. The person who is talking is the one who usually does the designs for it.

The topic he was given to talk about was his favorite thing of all the things he's designed.

Sorry I left so much out, the only thing I thought I had a question about was the "yatteru" part, so I didn't even think to explain the rest. Sorry!!

"I always do (something) at Tour Goods, so (since I do it so effotlessly/or do it without thinking) it is rather difficult to explain if you asked (how it all works)"

Considering everything, I'd say that this one makes the most sense to me.

朝八時に起きて満員電車に揺られて会社に行って、働いて、残業して、飲みたくも
ない酒の席に付き合って、終電車に乗って帰ってくる・・・・・・そんな人生か
ら開放される新たなチャンスだと思うことだって、できるはずだ。

This question is about a portion of a sentence that I recently asked about earlier, but didn't include so I wouldn't ask two questions in one. I included the entire portion now to (hopefully give full context).

The word that I am wondering about is: 付き合って in "飲みたくも
ない酒の席に付き合って"

The translations for this word don't seem to make much sense to me. "To get a long with; accompany". Could it be something like "bare with (being on a chair" in this context?

 

[orochi]

The 席 in 酒の席 (sometimes written 酒席（しゅせき）) is not literal. There's no actual chair or seat being described. This just means to be at an occassion where drinks are being served--anything like a party or company social, etc.

付き合う here means to "join in" or "take part in" the social event being described.

2. "Divine Hand" or "heavenly hand" or "celestial hand" whichever is easier to translate is fine.

Ah thank you for explaining that. I would have never found that out with just my dictionary. This helps quite a bit.

２． Kami no ote ? (神の御手)
３． Kimi ni ha, koko ga oniaunan dayo (君には、ここがお似合いなんだよ）
４．Stajio (ｽﾀｼﾞｵ) But it doesn't necessarily apply alone to all types

Hello ...

I don't completely grasp this sentence なんて言うのは都合のいい話 ( web English translation : It is a convenient story that says very much ).

[EvilRedEye]

Hi.

I'm trying to translate the following heading from a Japanese video game strategy guide: 基本で-タ

I know the first two symbols mean 'basic' but I'm a bit confused by the remaining part. Could anyone help?

 

[Buntaro]

EvilRedEye,

Could that second word be data?

 

[EvilRedEye]

Ah, yes, that would almost certainly be the case (I think I should have put it as '基本でータ' rather than using a hyphen if it makes any difference). Thanks a lot!

 

[lilyofthevalley]

what does this phrase mean? あつはなつい

i think something to do with humidity? なつい isn't in the dictionaries i looked at..

 

[Healing Wind]

Hi,
Can someone please translate for me this "Steal My Rain" into Japanese Romaji as well as the Japanese characters to write that? It's the title of an Animation project I'm working on and I want a Japanese version of that. The title is from the perspective of a lady "My".
Thanks!

 

[undrentide]

Ah, yes, that would almost certainly be the case (I think I should have put it as '基本でータ' rather than using a hyphen if it makes any difference). Thanks a lot!

It should be 基本データ (basic data). The "data" part is written in mixture of katakana and hiragana in the original you've quoted...

what does this phrase mean? あつはなつい

It should be なつはあつい （夏は暑い: summer is hot or it's hot in summer.)
な and あ are misplaced, either by error or intentionally.

a..thank-you. the girl who wrote it put 笑 afterwards so I should have figured it was something like that.

Is there something that was supposed to come before this part ?? Like what the speaker in fact stated...

 

[undrentide]

1. Wataru (渡る）
２． Kami no ote ? (神の御手)
３． Kimi ni ha, koko ga oniaunan dayo (君には、ここがお似合いなんだよ）
４．Stajio (ｽﾀｼﾞｵ) But it doesn't necessarily apply alone to all types

Wow Elizabeth san, your answers are excellent!
I'd like to add just a little note...
２．神の御手 is kami no "mite". Pronunciation. Pronunciation of 御 varies (o, go, mi) depending on the word, which is really confusing.
(When one hear "ote", what immediately comes to one's mind is "give me your paw" to dogs...)
３． Kimi ni ha, koko ga oniaunan dayo (君には、ここがお似合いなんだよ）
This is great translation, but it has negative connotation and you can use it only in a certain context.

３． Kimi ni ha, koko ga oniaunan dayo (君には、ここがお似合いなんだよ）

I know. I used it simply cause it was the only thing available. Something that I remembered copying in some old notes, not in any context....but it made me uneasy, too. This version emphasizes both 君 and が which is what we also do in English to give a slightly cruel (or "catty") twist on the phrase. Being very positive would put the stress as such : You belong here. The situation I imagined in my mind was like "Get real ! You're a country girl ! You belong here !" 現実的にあれよ。 君は田舎娘なんだ。

彼女とケンカがしたいのなら、そう答えたらいいですね。

状況や場合によって使い分けるので、その文だけを見て完璧に訳すのは難しいと思う？

This is great translation, but it has negative connotation and you can use it only in a certain context.

My boyfriend's response : 否定的というよりも、かなり人を見下した表現です。

>>3. "this is where you belong!"

How about:
ここはあなたの居場所（いばしょ）です。

Either that or ここはあなたの住む場所ですよ I think would work.

 

[Buntaro]

Healing Wind,

"Steal My Rain."

--> Watashi no ame o nusumu

Sorry, my computer does not support kanji.

 

[epigene]

Orochi's translation has a more emotional suggestion--asking where your heart belongs, such as family, a partner in life, etc.

Elizabeth's translation is asking only the location of your residence.

You belong here !は、中立的な表現ですか？ 90% of the time when said in such a strong tone it carries at least an implicitly unpleasant, negative connotation. It's a way of putting someone in their place, denying their freedom or reminding them of their upbringing. At least in English...
