Hello,

1. 「確かにそこまで美人だと逆に引いちゃいますね」

Translation given: "Certainly if someone is _that_ beautiful you'd draw back from approaching her."

Is 引いちゃいます = 引いてしまいます?

(I should be more confident about these by now!)


2. あ、よかったらそのへんでお茶でもどうですか。

My translation: "If you like, how about going for a cup of tea or something somewhere round here [i.e. somewhere in the local area]?"

Is this OK, especially as regards そのへんで?


3. Someone is asking a friend if they'd like to go and see a film:

「何の映画?」
「ほら、今話題になっている北野監督の映画。」

My translation:

"Which film?"
"The film directed by Kitano that everyone's talking about."

What is the nuance of ほら here? The dictionary says stuff like "Look!" and "Hey!" but this doesn't seem to fit the context.


4.

[会話4] (新しい関係)

太郎: 行こうよ。ねえ、いいだろう。
花子: いやよ。
太郎: どうして?
花子: だって、あそこつまらないんだもん。

My translation:

[Conversation 4] (New relationship)

Taro: Let's go. Come on, it'll be good.
Hanako: Nah...
Taro: Why not?
Hanako: 'Cause that place is boring.

a) In what sense is 関係 being used? Is it like "new relationship" in the sense that Taro is asking Hanako out on a date for the first time?

b) だって = "because", right?(!)
 
1)
Yes, both about the interpretation and the confidence issue. :)

2)
Literally, yes. If the conversation is done on a street or somewhere, そのへん often refers to a cafe.
Also, if the speaker is talking to a working person, そのへん would mean "now". (The sentence is interpreted as そのへんで仕事をやめてお茶でもどうですか. Thus, そのへん refers to not a place but a break in the work.)

3)
"You know" would be more close.

4)
いいだろう is asking for her consent here (with the rising intonation いいだろう?).

a) b)
Yes.

a) b)
Yes.
