ここのライスカレーは
御飯に上手に
塗[まぶ]してあるからうまい。

いいところの若旦那さんが
何言ってらっしゃるんですか｡

Just to confirm, 塗して = (ぬり) して or (まぶ) して ?
It means "to coat", isn't it?

松尾芭蕉 - the famous haiku poet: (Matsuo Bashō - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

奧の细道 should be 奥の細道 (chinese simplified kanji in there) is a work of his:
Oku no Hosomichi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

矢立 is a sort of portable writing set, apparently, and 矢立初めの地 refers to the first haiku he wrote on his journey

Domo arigato. I'm a student of Chinese, and my translation was close to your correct translation. Thank you very much. I really like this website and will recommend it to my friend in Japan.

Just to confirm, 塗して = (ぬり) して or (まぶ) して ?
It means "to coat", isn't it?

That's まぶして, as I wrote.

塗[まぶ]してあるからうまい。

The pronunciation of "mu" is close to "bu", right? (mamusihte vs mabushite)
And yes for "to coat".

I've been looking for the onomatopoeia of a meerkat for a while. any help?

 

[Andromedashun]

なんでも大笑いをしながら
機械化獣を倒していったらしいけど、
もしかしてそれってあの時の。。。
What does the bold part mean? Is he regret that he can't beat the 機械化獣?
And なんでも大笑いをしながら is ''While we burst a big laugh at anything''(?)

 

[Toritoribe]

なんでも【何でも】
3 〔聞くところによると〕
何でも彼女はフランスへ行くそうですよ
I hear [understand] she is going to France.
何でも彼は道で大金を拾ったという話だ
Rumor has it that he found a large amount of money on the road.

なんでも【何でも】の英語・英訳 - 和英辞書 - 英語辞書 - goo辞書

What's the context? (The sentence shows that the one in the topic really beat 機械化獣.)

 

[Andromedashun]

The previous sentence is:
それに機械化帝国の侵攻からは
謎のヒーローが街を守ってくれたとの
報告も入っている

So with your help, from what I understand: it is the mysterious hero who beat 機械化獣 and he think the hero is the one he meet at ''that time'', right?

 

[Toritoribe]

It could be correct. I can't judge it since I don't know the context.

 

[Byoo1671]

hey, can someone translate this picture for me please? thanks!

Before answering your new question, did you read your previous thread? Any response?

 

[Byoo1671]

Oh sorry about that.
Responded!

 

[Toritoribe]

お土産ですわ
This is a souvenir for you.

あ ありがとうございます
Tha, Thank you very much.

Awesome! Thanks!

何がﾐﾆｽｶﾎﾟﾘｽだ！
ただの ﾐﾆｽｶﾎﾟｰｸだろうが!!

本物のﾎﾟﾘｽ 教えてやろうか？
てめえら みてぇなｸｽﾞ
社会的に抹殺するなんざ
わけねえんだよ！

Usually ～するわけがない。 Means "There's no way I would do that" or literally "There's no reason I would do this", but in this case it makes no sense. I then checked the official translation which is: "I could destroy the reputation of scum like you without breaking a sweat!". Which makes sense contextually, but what exactly is the role of "わけねえんだよ！" then?

 

[Toritoribe]

わけ(は/が/も)ない means "to be easy" there.

I have two questions about the following passage. Does 「三年にも四年にもなれなければ卒業だって出来ない」 means "if the one doesn't become nor 3rd nor 4th year he wouldn't graduate."? However, maybe I'm mistaken something, but since the character writes ゼミ論, he is already 3rd year?
And the second question, am I parcing the last sentence correctly "The requested work is either something theoritically great, or even if not bright, something with reliable information(folklore) behind it."?

このゼミの教授は、学生の態度が気にくわなければ、ガンガンに不可にして留年させる・・・。
つまり気にくわなければゼミ論（三年）から卒論（四年）にあがらせない。当然三年にも四年にもなれなければ卒業だって出来ない。
(Some sentence are ommitted)
理論的にすばらしいもの、もしくは光るようなものがなくても地道な民話採取をしたものかのいずれかが要求される。

 

[Mittsume3]

Hello everyone, I tried translating this for a friend and I don't think my translation is quite right; I haven't touched up on Japanese in over three years. May I ask for input or a more correct way please?

Unforgettable in every way
どうしても忘れられない
and forever more that's how you'll stay
ずっとそのままでいい
No never before
なによりも
Has someone been more

I tried combining the two last sentences but nothing is coming to mind

Yes, your interpretations seem both correct.

My sister-in-law asked me to find a translation for "Though she be but little, she is fierce." It's a Shakespeare quote from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Does anyone know if there's an official translation of the play I can reference? I'm no poet, so my attempts seem to fall flat.

 

[Toritoribe]

A Midsummer Night's Dream
Act 3, Scene 2. Another part of the wood.
HELENA

O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd!
She was a vixen when she went to school;
And though she be but little, she is fierce.​

SCENE II. Another part of the wood.

眞夏の夜の夢 坪内逍遥訳
第三幕 第二場 森林の他の方面。
ヘレナ

ハーミヤさんは怒つたりいふと、怖ろしく口が惡いのです。 學校へ行つてた時分に既《も》う囂々屋《がみ／＼゛や》でしたのよ。 小ちやいけれど、氣が強いの。​

図書カード - 眞夏の夜の夢

Thus, 小ちやいけれど、氣が強いの。（＝ 小っちゃいけれど、気が強いの。）is the one by 坪内逍遥. The book was published in 1934, so the translation is a bit oldish, though. I've read 小田島雄志 version (well, long time ago), but can't find it in my bookshelf.

 

[Yoshie]

I'm having troubles with understanding the following sentence from the post above - 「ハーミヤさんは怒つたりいふと、怖ろしく口が惡いのです。」. The translation saying that it is "she is keen and shrewd", setting aside the fact that translation itself differs, I would translate 「怖ろしく口が惡い」 like this - "to be horribly bad-mouthed", and if I wanted to write "to be horrible and bad-mouthed", than I would write it like this 「「怖ろしくて口が惡い」」. So, my question is does the translation itself differs from original or since it is an Old Japanese it could be written like this? Or I'm simply mistaken something?

坪内逍遥 translated "keen and shrewd" as "horribly bad-mouthed" there. 怖ろしく口が悪い can mean 怖ろしく、口が悪い "to be horrible and bad-mouthed" even in modern Japanese, though.

 

[Yoshie]

I see, thank you very much.

 

[Andromedashun]

しかし、奴らの事だ。
機械にされている可能性はある

I guess it is: ''Those guys are in trouble''.

 

[Toritoribe]

Person のことだ is a set phrase, which expresses that the speaker thinks it's reasonable what follows it(機械にされている可能性はある in this example) is possible for the person.
e.g.
あいつのことだ。きっと来てくれる。
It's reasonable to think he'll come. = I believe he must come.
