maybe "body and mind as one" would be easier to understand? If I could get kanji for that please
Can you explain yourself the difference between unification and 'as one' ???maybe "body and mind as one" would be easier to understand? If I could get kanji for that please

Hehe, the more I think about it the more I think I'm confusing myself more than anyone.Elizabeth,
Are you going to confuse him further? ☝
「自分」 「自身」 is used for persons.How would you express "by itself" in the following context:
"By itself, English can be an extremely vague language, so understanding the intonation and body language of the speaker is very important."
I was thinking of using 自分で but this little word has given me problems in the past when directly translating it so I'm inclined to think there's probably another way.
Here's my attempt anyway:
自分で英語はすごく紛らわしい言葉ですから、話す人の音調と身ぶりが分かることが大事です。

I've always thought that, intonation and gesture are part of that language. So, I spent a while to understand the "it self" in the above sentence. Any1 could explain about this more.
Edit: beaten by Undrentide-san
I have been asked to translate some documents for work, and I want to check some of the words I have come up with. (The translation is from Japanese to English.)
胃腸障害 gastrointestinal trouble
慢性鼻炎・副鼻腔炎 Chronic Nasal or Paranasal Inflammation
伝染性の結膜炎 Conjuntivitis
とびひ Impetigo
水いぼ Molluscum Contagiosum
そうですね。日本語はあいまいとも話せるしはっきりとも話せるといえるでしょう。「自分」 「自身」 is used for persons.
In your sentence I think そのもの or 自体 would fit in better.
"By itself, English can be an extremely vague language, so understanding the intonation and body language of the speaker is very important."
英語そのものは非常に曖昧な言語なので、話者のイントネーションや身振りを理解することがとても重要です。
英語という言語そのものは非常に曖昧なので、相手を的確に理解するには口調や身振りも理解できなくてはなりません。
hmm... can someone figure this one out? something to do with a wish, I know...
願いが叶いますよぅに。
thanks!
I might want to say （私は）、その会社は日本へ自動車を輸出したい（だろう）と思います （したがっていると思いますI was wondering how to write down a phrase like: I think that company would like to export cars to Japan.
その会社は日本に車を輸出したいと思います。
Is it okay to write it down like this?
Hello
I have come across a few uses of よう that I was wondering if anyone can clear up. What do the following mean?
1。考えようによって。
2。 間違えられたようでイヤな気分だ。
3。 あいつを使いようでようやく成功した (unsure of exact sentence)
Thank you very much.
(This sentence is about international exchange of people going to and from Japan)
外国から技術者が研修に来るし、日本から海外の各種技術の開発に出かけていく。
What I am not quite clear on is what/who is coming from Japan "日本から". Normally I would say "技術者が" is what should be said here but for some reason I'm doubting it. Also, the end of the sentence: "開発に出かけていく" means "goes out to develop..." correct? I'm pretty sure I'm understanding that part, but I just want to verify it.
Hi Fuumei,
You got it right.
There are engineers coming from abroad (to Japan) for training, and there are also those (=engineers) going abroad to develop various technologies.
技術者が is omitted from the latter part of the sentence simply because it is obvious to readers that it is all about engineers thus writer wants to avoid the repetition of the same word in one sentence.
As for 開発に出かけていく, ～に is to state the purpose.
e.g.
散歩に出かける
遊びに来る
So your interpretation is correct.
