Need a word or phrase translated?

[FinancialWar]

Is there any sentence/clause preceding it, something like ～する時, ～した時 or ～すると?

just ここで、ふと頭...

The writer is the author of the game, right? He said that he revised the ending they were talking about by あのＥＤは改変で. あのままクーとフィリアを元の世界に戻すと元の世界の問題（三作 目で回収予定）も起きるし is the reason why he revised, and （クーとフィリアを）鈴音と暮らしてる元地上人ということにしました expresses the contents of the revised result.

Yeah, he is.

So, is this the correct translation?

"That ED is a modification. The original world problem occurs (going to talk about it in the third work) when Kuu and Philia return to the original world as it is. I decided to make Kuu and Philia the original Earth people that lived with Suzune."

I'm still not sure.

By the way, [鈴音] is read as "Suzune", right?

 

[Macrobiotic]

I'm not sure about the concepts of 心をかける and 手をかける here. As I interpret it from this text, 心をかける seems to be to keep an interest in and watch and be supportive of what someone is doing while 手をかける seems to mean more like "to get involved in the work/to do actual work directly".

心はかけるが、手をかけない。

子供の読書の記録などで、お母さんがしっかりと読んだ本を全部書いて、ページ数まで記録していることがあります。
それはとてもいいことなので、子供もしっかりと成長しますが、時にそれがやりすぎになってしまうことがあります。

手をかけること自体はいいのですが、人間は、自分が手をかけると、それと同じことを相手にも要求してしまうことが多いからです。
「（お母さんはこんなにやっているのだから）あなたもがんばってね」とか、「（お母さんはこんなにやっているのだから）お父さんももっとやってね」とかいう気持ちがつい出てしまうのです。

 

[Toritoribe]

ここで、ふと頭に浮かぶシーンがあります。

A scene/memory unexpectedly crosses my mind (at this point).
(ここ can refer to a location, depending on the context.)

Yeah, he is.

So, is this the correct translation?

"That ED is a modification. The original world problem occurs (going to talk about it in the third work) when Kuu and Philia return to the original world as it is. I decided to make Kuu and Philia the original Earth people that lived with Suzune."

I'm still not sure.

By the way, [鈴音] is read as "Suzune", right?

It seems correct to me. Although 元の世界の問題 might be more likely "a problem in the original world", and I'm not sure about what 回収 means here.
And yes, 鈴音 is Suzune.

「（お母さんはこんなにやっているのだから）あなたもがんばってね」とか、「（お母さんはこんなにやっているのだから）お父さんももっとやってね」とかいう気持ちがつい出てしまうのです。

Yeah, that's correct. 心をかける is not so common expression. I think it's from 心がける and the writer did a kind of word play with 心をかける and 手をかける.

 

[Macrobiotic]

Thanks, that makes sense.

 

[MrKanister]

Can anyone help me with this one please?

最近、生徒たちも
ヤンチャが過ぎる
からな

私がキチンと
しないと

A teacher says this to herself after classes are over, and after saying that she should start preparing for tomorrow.
I don't really get the 2nd sentence.
I think the 1st one means: "Lately, students have been too naughty."
Does the 2nd one mean: "I have to be neat"?

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays!

 

[Toritoribe]

It seems to me to be used as しっかりしないと/ちゃんとしないと.

 

[lightdreamer]

Sorry, I'm back again to ask another question. I'm still talking to the same person and I stumbled upon yet another sentence I don't quite understand.

提供したねぇ。人間側の攻めてきたって部分は、外の世界の秘密組織とかそんな感じの何かで、ロケットとか民間的な存在じゃない人物達だけど

I don't understand how [民間的な存在じゃない人物達だけど] relates to the rest of the sentence.

 

[Toritoribe]

The core of the sentence is 部分は何かで人物達だ, thus, 民間的な存在じゃない人物達 explains what 人間側の攻めてきたって部分 is.

 

[MrKanister]

It seems to me to be used as しっかりしないと/ちゃんとしないと.

I'm sorry, but how would you then translate しっかりしないと/ちゃんとしないと in a natural sounding way?
"I have to be proper/neat"?
I think "I have to be ready/prepared" would be a good translation in the context I mentioned. Does that make sense?
Thank you.

Use an idiom;

Ex.
Be on the ball
Bring my "A" game
Etc.

 

[abrogatedshounen]

What's the name for the scooper for brooms?

 

[Toritoribe]

Maybe you are talking about 塵取り[ちりとり] "dustpan"?

 

[abrogatedshounen]

YES THAT! Thankyou

Salve a tutti, io parlo italiano ed inglese. Avrei bisogno di una cortesia... qualcuno potrebbe tradurmi con precisione questa frase per favore? "iya sona koto kanai ii kiss so detta demo yuwai neh kakkoii kedo yuwai"

[Toritoribe]

Where did you get it from? It seems like someone(who is not familiar with Japanese)'s transcription of a Japanese sentence, but doesn't make much sense.

my best guess
いや、そんなこと。かなりいいキスそうだった。でも弱いね。かっこいいけど弱い。
Iya, sonna koto. Kanari ii kisu sou datta. Demo yowai ne. Kakko ii kedo yowai.

 

[Macrobiotic]

I don't get the joke here. I know 坪 is a measurement but I still don't get the 坪で出す and what's supposed to be funny about it.

例えば、三角形の面積を求めるのに、
底辺と高さが分数と小数で表示されていて、
それぞれの単位がｋｍとｃｍになっていて、答えは坪で出すような（笑）問題。

 

[Mike Cash]

Probably a pun based on ツボ

Think about a question "What is the area in 坪 of a triangle whose base is 3/4 km and whose height is 2.34 cm?"

 

[Macrobiotic]

Thanks, I should have paid more attention to the km and cm mentioned.

Thank you very much Toritoribe, so if I understand well the translation should be "Well, something like that: "It looked pretty good kiss. But it weak. It is weak, but cool."

Right? Well it comes from a person from Philippines who live in Japan since some years... she's not yet very good with Japanese, thanks for your courtesy.

Indeed google translate says so, but it's unreliable, as always. We need more context to translate the sentences correctly. In the first place, I'm not sure if my guess is correct. The first half of the words can also be interpreted as いや、そんなことはない。かなりきつそうだった。(Iya, sonna koto wa nai. Kanari kitsusou datta.), for instance.

I solved the mystery. The meaning was (or at least, what this person meant) : "Maybe he was a good kisser, but he was flabby, even if good looking".
Thanks for the help and for your time

"他はどうでもいいとはいわんが、およそ芝居以外に欲というものをもっとらん"

Here, I don't understand what "とはいわんが" means. Does the い represent 言? I completely don't get the meaning.
Am I correct in thinking the sentence means "That person will do anything, and does not want anything besides theatre"?

 

[nekojita]

I would parse the first bit as:
「他はどうでもいい」とは言わないが
And the whole as:
"I wouldn't say nothing else matters, but I don't want anything besides theatre."
