Hah. That's from the lyrics to 金魚花火 isn't it?kisu said:what does this mean? "醜さで包まれぬよう"
ありがとうWakaPさん！wakaP said:Re-set your browser to Shift JIS encoding, please
そのうちa native speaker of Japaneseじゃなくてthe native speaker of Japaneseって書かれるかも。。
それはさておき，
Elizabeth さんの理解でいいと思います。英訳の練習してみますね。
We are recruiting people who can confirm whether there is a problem or not with the contents of the Japanese ghost stories from the perspective of Japanese, and people who can help us to prepare the natural stage properties.
Now who's getting all "Squeaky wheel gets the kick." ?Elizabeth said:My browser is set to Western European (ISO), can you reset yours to be compatible ?, although to read this for me requires Japanese (Auto Select).
And using Western European, it should come through for him in Shift JIS as well ? That was my assumption anyway, although I'll keep trying different inputs until something does finally get done.PaulTB said:Now who's getting all "Squeaky wheel gets the kick." ?
Technically WakaP is the only one still posting in the correct encoding after the last upgrade.
It seems to. The only two problems with Western European encoding areElizabeth said:And using Western European, it should come through for him in Shift JIS as well ?
PaulTB said:(Quite likely - lyrics are tough).
*ahem* Anyway I'll say it even if I'm probably wrong
"To look as if to not be wrapped due to ugliness"
... is the literal translation.
PaulTB said:Goodness knows how that should be interpretted - what's a 心に泳ぐ金魚 represent anyway. :?

Er, but the original waswakaP said:YES, lyrics are tough! I completely agree with you. :bravo:
I'll try more literal translation of '醜さに包まれぬよう' below.
Aha. So it's most likely MacOS that is the odd one out (What browser do you use BTW?). Seeing as you're one of the most useful members around here I'll see if I can stir up some action and get it fixed.wakaP said:I've been trying various encoding to input Japanese characters, and I found that only Shift JIS encoding worked well, sadly.
???????????? <=This is Western European (MacOS Roman) encoding.
Elizabeth said:「それと、キミは冷蔵庫のある部屋に寝ることになるわけですが、ホームステイ学生はキミが寝ているとその部屋には入りづらいのです。」の「わけ」と言葉が文法的にどういう意味で用いられているかよく分かりません。 直訳の[You are only using the refrigerator room for sleeping, but this still makes it difficult for the home stay student to enter.]は自然な話し方に近づくだろうのかな？
wakaP said:Shift JIS encoding again;
「わけ」：ある事の結果として，当然そうなるはずであること。また，あらかじめそうなるように仕組んだこと。（大辞林）
英語にするなら，necessarily が適切なのかな，と思っています。
You are necessarily using the refrigerator room for sleeping,
then, the home stay student will certainly hesitate to enter the room when you sleep.
こんな感じでしょうか。
oops, my mistake. But, no, the mistake doesn't make a difference.PaulTB said:Er, but the original was
醜さで
doesn't that make a difference?
Wow, I suspected that my OS might cause the troubles.PaulTB said:Aha. So it's most likely MacOS that is the odd one out (What browser do you use BTW?).
PaulTB said:Seeing as you're one of the most useful members around here I'll see if I can stir up some action and get it fixed.
Although the reason the student hesitate to enter the room is that someone sleep there,PaulTB said:I would have thought that 「わけ」 was being used to note the reason that the home stay student (... etc.).
PaulTB said:On another note - Elizabeth's use of 'refrigerator room' seems a bit odd to me. There are (in restaurants etc) actual walk-in rooms that are refrigerated. I wouldn't want to be sleeping in one of those*brrr*
Have you tried firefox ? Not that you should have to use a different browser but you might like it and it might work better with the current (slightly messed up) JRef.wakaP said:Wow,,I suspected that my OS might cause the troubles.
I use Safari1.2.3(v125.9) and I'm afraid that this is not compatible with JREF.

Er, not the foggiest.danryu said:Does anybody have any ideas about my question?
It's テラタツグ or テラタッグ
テラタツグdanryu said:Does it actually say anything though?
Not that I can tell.danryu said:any sets of words it must mean?
If _I_ knew the 'words' I wouldn't have said 'not the foggiest'.danryu said:I can probably work out the meaning if i know the words
danryu said:Does anybody have any ideas about my question?
It's テラタツグ or テラタッグ
I can't seem to make it make any sense in english..
thanks
eek, post 666
wakaP said:'テラタツグ' is not a Japanese word.
If it is Japanese language, it might be name (テラタ ツグ) of a Japanese staff of Kill Bill.
If you don't have a mind to learn Japanese language, you should be ready for paying a translation fee.michaelkoh32 said:How do ask in japanese...
" Hi, does the toy come with all the complete accessories and is there any instruction manual"
How to ask
" can you show me the Postage receipts for the item that you have sent to me"
