久しぶり質問

[Damicci]

It's been a while since ｉ asked a question in here. Doesn't mean I am getting better just more lazy.

I am watching a drama here, and am trying to translate an email that was written.

here we go

由梨子さん、この間会社のお使いで外に出たときに
ある高校生の男の子に突然出会いました。
彼は、ダンス教師のアルバイトをしていて、
その彼と私、生まれて初めてダンスを踊りました。
それが、とても不思議な今までにない感覚で。
仕事うまくいかなくて自信なくして？ち込んでいる私を
彼は、綺麗だといってくれた。
こんなにも彼の言葉が、心に深く沁みるなんて。
この気持ちはやっぱり恋なんでしょうか。
切ないです。
こずえ

Yuriko-san,

The other day I went out to do some company errands when I suddenly met a high school boy. He is working as a Dance Teacher part-time and that person and I (this is confusing) danced a birth for the first time dance.
Because of that, I felt a mysterious sensation I had not felt until now. I was not doing well at work and losing confidence. (I can't make out all the kanji here)
He said "I am beautiful". At this point his words deeply pierced my heart.
This feeling is passion after, don't you agree?
It's painful.

The things highlighted in red are grammar points I don't understand well.

I believe the first red one means "With him, I danced for the first time in my life." It might mean "We danced for the first time," but I think it's the first one.

The second one is "(To think) That his words could touch my heart so deeply!" (a bit of a breathless expression)

Well I think you did a pretty good job yourself Damicci, and Jimmy's absolutely right too. I changed a few thingies too:

Yuriko-san,

The other day I went out to do some company errands when I suddenly met a high school boy. He is working as a Dance Teacher part-time and that person and I danced for the first time in my life.
That was a mysterious sensation I had not felt until now. I was feeling down because I was not doing well at work and losing confidence, and he said "I am beautiful". That his words could touch my heart so deeply..
Is this love (after all)?
It's painful.

Which drama was it Damicci? Have fun watching and translating!

 

[Damicci]

Oh so the 生まれて初めて is the "For the firstime in my life" expression. That's good to know.

"落ち込んでいる"
How exactly is this used. I couldn't tell what the kinji was in the letter and since it is a video i forgot to try to capture the frame. Looks the same as in the letter.

The drama is それは突然、嵐のように。

 

[Karamuucho]

落ち込んでいる is like being depressed, or down、in this instance she's saying that because her job wasnt going so well, and she was losing confidence because of that, she was feeling depressed.

Thanks for the help guys. Makes alot of sense now. The drama is not subtitled, I am trying to watch more un-subtitled TV in order to increase my listening ability. So far, it still sucks.
