Need a word or phrase translated?

[Toritoribe]

Can someone help me translate this sentence please:
都立昂星小学校六年二組の教室では、もはや放課後恒例となった行事が発生していた。

I can understand several words (school, 6-2 classroom, after school, annual, event), but the meaning of the sentence as a whole escapes me.

Also, can someone please explain the expression "飛び抜けて"?
It was used in the phrase "飛び抜けて大柄な少年"

Thanks!

The core of the sentence is 教室で行事が発生していた.
都立/昂星/小学校 (昂星 is the name of the elementary school.)
もはや放課後恒例となった modifies 行事.

飛び抜けて is the adverbial usage of the verb 飛び抜ける, which means "enormously".

...I actually have one more troublesome sentence, if it's not too much of a bother.

What messes me up is the recurrence of 明文化, which translates into "stipulate"...there are no other options. I tried replacing it with "decision" at first, but decided it didn't fulfill the role like I thought it would. When I try to put it into words, I just can't get it to work.
Also, the third clause doesn't seem to connect with the second at all. Maybe I mistranslated something?


今までも指導要領に詩歌の創作は明文化されたことはあったが、小学校だけでなく中学校にまでも明文化されたのは、昭和二０年代の試案のものを除けば今回がじつははじめてである。

Even until now there was a decision for poetry composition in governmental guidelines, which specifies that it's not only elementary school but up until middle school, if you sneak a peek at the 1945 tentative plan, this time is actually the first.

I agree the repetition is 拙い to an English speaker. What do I know having been away so long ? But omitting 明文化 is ungrammatical.
特に気になりません。


今までも指導要領に詩歌の創作は明文化されたことはあったが、小学校だけでなく中学校にまでは 昭和二０年代の試案のものを除けば今回がじつははじめてである。 文法に反していません。

You mean just the romanji?
Sainou yori, doryoku.

Thank you very much, Toritoribe!

What does (ry mean?

(略）の略 - actually properly it's short for （以下省略） I think.
It's 2ちゃん語, and normally appears at the end of a sentence where something has been cut off.

Can you guys help me and correct my translation?

"I would like to thank everyone for everything they have done for me for the last week in japan. this trip was filled with many bittersweet moments especially with me, thanks for understanding. I will do my best and come back to japan this year and work! lets all meet up again!"

"minna sama okage de watashi no tame ni wa, senshuu ha makoto ni kansha itashimasu. (i dont know how to translate the middle part lol). saizen wa tsukushimasu to zettai ni nippon de kaerimasu. minna matamou asobou yo"

Hello!

I need some help in this sentence:

彼は監督のようでもあり、選手でもある。

Attempted translation: He is like both a manager and a player.

My understanding of the sentence is: not only A,but also B = Not only is he like a manager, but also like a player.

There is a よう in there, so I'm not sure if it would apply to the second one.

 

[Toritoribe]

Yeah, it's a bit vague. If it's "like both a manager and a player", 監督のようでもあり、選手のようでもある is more common. If the writer wanted to say "He is a player but like a manager", I would say 選手でありながら、監督のようでもある.

For the first sentence how about something like "Minasama, Nihon taizai chuu ni ha osewa ni narimashita/osewa ni nari, arigatou gozaimasu." I don't know what you are getting at with the second part exactly. :sorry:

I will do my best to come back to Japan this year. "Kotoshichuu ni mata Nihon ni iku tame (ni) ganbarimasu."

i just wanted to say about my experience and my own emotional feelings about the trip especially for myself and thanks for understanding because they put up with me lol.

Well this is most generic I suppose. Chotto sutoresu kanjite ita kedo, watashi no koto ni gaman shite kurete arigatou gozaimasu. (Although I/you was under a bit of stress, thank you for graciously putting up with me !).

thanks much! this really helped

Hi there!
Been trying to translate these words, with no luck:
-toison no utsute ->have no idea what it means, only know what "no" is
-tonyuu ->no idea, they are showing a washing machine when saying it

I doubt that I wrote these words correctly, so here is how they pronounce it.

Besides the ones above, can anyone tell me please what does "shouwa" mean? (not the era)
Example: "San-nin to shouwa ja nai shi"

Thank you!

 

[Toritoribe]

I can't distinguish the first word. You cut it into a too-small piece. The second one is 窶愬?窶愿ｼ[tounyuu] "putting/throwing the laundry into the washing machine". As for "shouwa", it seems ﾂ渉･ﾋ彗 "singing together/singing in chorus/chant", but we need more context.

 

[Tind]

Here is the entire sentence.

 

[Toritoribe]

炭酸？の渦ってなあに

The word at the beginning of the sentence is still indistinct. What is the preceding and following sentences? In what situation is she saying it?

 

[Tind]

Preceding sentence is "Are there any questions?". The following is that they show a washing machine and say: "Kore o...tounyuu!"

 

[Toritoribe]

Hmm, what's the context? What is on the screen when she is saying this words? Is there a lavel or something which she is reading?

There's already a "set phrase" to express that: ご迷惑をかける

皆様に色々とご迷惑をかけ、申し訳ありませんでした。would be one way of expressing it. Japanese society is greased by a recognition and acknowledgement of 迷惑.

 

[Tind]

Thanks for the help! I was able to figure it out. It was this:
闘争の渦て

Oh, I know. I thought that she talking to a homestay family or friends and was going for something more personal.

迷惑ばかりかけてごめんね。

The idea of recognizing and acknowledging 迷惑 still applies; you just loosen the uprightness of the phrasing.

Isn't that like if you mess up the partner's schedule, misunderstanding a meeting place, misplacing a CD or such ? I don't think that mine is exactly correct either but let me think on it a bit more.
