Dokusho kansoubun and it means literally a readers written description of their thoughts.Is 読書感想文 pronounced as "dokushokunsoubun" and literally means "Literally description of one's thoughts about something he/she read", am I right?
"Where people gather is the palpable pupil of the legendary Phoenix."
How's that?
これ以上 can translate basically not more than the number but as "any more than" (a current state or condition). すん is probably approximately or around (寸). There really isn't that much more to go on.This might not be right. It was hand written and a little hard to read, so I'm not sure that I managed to get the right kanji, but it looked like it could be これ以上十二 の
I know that 以上 can mean, "that's all" and "no more than" and that 十二 is 12, and これ is "this"
I'm not sure how to make an English sentence out of it though.
I guess before I can ask what it means, I should ask if it even makes sense, since I'm not sure if the kanji is completely right.
これ以上十二すんの
Sounds good, thanks. Could you break that down, though? I don't see how 感じ取る is incorparated in the sentence, and how が is used to tell the location. In a more literal translation, what would be the verb of the subject, if が marks the subject?
私には今、ゼロにかける言葉がない。いちるを失っただけじゃなく、自分自身も喪失してしまいそうなゼロに……。
My guess is: I don't have any words for Zero now. Zero not only lost Ichiru, but also seems to lose himself.

I suppose it's not a sentence but just a phrase, "the legendary phoenix's pupil which can sense where people gather". が is the object marker for the potential verb 感じ取れる, thus, it can be replaced with を. The phrase 感じ取れる伝説の不死鳥の瞳 without the object sounds a bit awkward.I need help to translate a sentence in which I think I understand the words, but can't make out the meaning:
人の集う場所が感じ取れる伝説の不死鳥の瞳
Can someone please explain?

It's hard to say without the rest of the story but lose himself is a bit vague I suppose. 喪失 is more narrowly like an inferiority complex where what goes away is faith or confidence in yourself.I need help in translating this sentence--I'm not sure if I got the meaning right:
私には今、ゼロにかける言葉がない。いちるを失っただけじゃなく、自分自身も喪失してしまいそうなゼロに……。

Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

It looks like it could mean "more than this would cost 12" something, but I'm not so sure that makes sense. I'm guessing you do have a misreading in there somewhere, but who knows.

No, it's not the passive(感じ取られる) but just the potential, as I wrote. Literally, the phoenix's pupil can sense the place. The difference between 場所が/を感じ取れる and 場所を感じ取る is that the former more focuses on the ability to sense. The latter has a nuance that the pupil senses it automatically/unconsciously.A final question about this. How would the phrase sound different if it was 人の集う場所を感じ取る伝説の不死鳥の瞳 ?
Passive sentences are often hard to translate to my native language (or English). The original phrase would be something like "The pupil of the legendary phoenix, by whom places where people gather can be sensed"?

Yes. Some verbs/adjectives takes が as the object marker.Now I'm confused about が, though. Can が be used to mark the object if the verb is in potential form?
心臓 means "heart" as an organ. Is it what you were trying to say?This is what I want to say in English: The girl suffers. To express it, she speaks the language of her heart.
I think this is how it looks in Kanji: 少女は苦しんでいます。彼女は、言い表すために彼女の心臓の言語を話します。
But what I really want is to say it in Romaji correctly. Here is what I have:
Shoujo ha kurushi ndeimasu. Kanojo ha, ii arawasu tameni kanojo no shinzou no gengo wo hanashi masu.
Have I written this correctly? Can anyone give their best translation of what I wrote in Romaji so I can see how it sounds? Thank you!
I'm not sure how this sentence would be translated.
I gave it a shot, but it could very well be way, way off.
Or rather, I think it's probably way off.
この程度で根をあげると英雄の名が廃りますよ。
When the true nature is given, the hero's name becomes obsolete.
Anyone know of a better translation for this?
Glenn;674873 said:Well, knowing that I may screw this up a bit, I'll give it a shot. I don't know exactly what 根をあげる means, and I didn't see it listed as a 成句 in the dictionary, but overall this looks like it's saying "if that's all it takes to make a name for yourself, the name of 'hero' will lose all it's meaning." Hope that's closer than the last one I tried to translate.
