Need a word or phrase translated?

[PaulTB]

Greetings everyone. I hope this isn't seen as too complex a favor to ask...

Well it's a bit much for me. Certainly at this time of the morning. If you don't get any luck here I suggest you try
Google Groups
and offer a little money.

but I would like the following paragraph (a short one, I hope) translated into Japanese romanji.

There is no romanji.

I would much appreciate the help.

If you are learning Japanese then I suggest you do the best you can yourself first and post that here. If you are not learning Japanese then I'm not sure I want to be a free translation service.

 

[Golgo_13]

Whaaaaat? I can barely say all that in English!

First, cut out all the SAT words and make it as simple as possible in English, so that a grade school kid could understand it. Then go from there and translate.

 

[Reichou]

Alright, I am quite sorry I asked, consider me properly scorned for my brashness.

 

[CMUcurry]

Hey
I would like to know the meaning of these words
顕在意識、 潜在意識、 宇宙意識
I also wanted this website translated but i know it will be too much...
癒しの道場では、自己浄霊法で霊障を除去し、呼吸法（心癒功）と栄養摂取により、健康な体を手に入れ、運気の改善を図る方法を提唱いたします。
So please just translate this section if you can:
意識というものを分類すると、顕在意識・潜在意識・宇宙意識とに分 けられると思います。
顕在意識とは、知識を蓄えて応用するという作業をする場所です。
潜在意識とは、古い記憶（忘れてしまってもかまわない記憶）が詰ま っており、普段は扉がしまっているのですが、ふとした拍子に扉が開 いて、昔の記憶がよみがえってきたりすることがあります。
又、夢に出てくることもあります。
宇宙意識とは、心のもうひとつのはたらきで、すべてのものとつながっているという領域のことです。
解り易く言うと、心は、宇宙にも、大霊界にも、人間一人一人の心にもつながっているということです。
この宇宙意識をうまく応用したものが、テレパシーでくり、遠隔治療なのです。
その他たくさんの応用法があります。
I just realized that's pretty long too
any help it appreciated though

hey

i would like to know the meaning of these words
ﾅ陳ｰﾂ催斃?毒ｽﾂｯﾂ、ﾂ ﾂ静ｶﾂ催斃?毒ｽﾂｯﾂ、ﾂ 窶ｰF窶厖??毒ｽﾂｯ

I may not be quite up on any cutting edge terminology, but in layman's terms, the first is more like working consciousness or everyday awareness, the second latent or subconsciousness and the third cosmic (universal?) consciousness.

Your paragraph will have to wait for the morning, though....

 

[PaulTB]

In my ongoing battle against mojibake - here
is the above in format with the あ and く characters put back in.

意識というものを分類すると、顕在意識・潜在意識・宇宙意識とに分 けられると思います。

If classify consciousness I think it divides into concious, sub-conscious and 'cosmic awareness'*

顕在意識とは、知識を蓄えて応用するという作業をする場所です。

The first is where stored knowledge is put to use.

潜在意識とは、古い記憶（忘れてしまってもかまわない記憶）が詰まっており、普段は扉がしまっているのですが、ふとした 拍子に扉が開 いて、昔の記憶がよみがえってきたりすることがありま す。

As for the sub-concious that is were old memories, those you wouldn't care about forgetting, pile up. Generally they're behind 'shut doors' but it can happen that by chance that door will open and old memories will bring back to life.

又、夢に出てくることもあります。

Or they can crop up in dreams.

宇宙意識とは、心のもうひとつのはたらきで、すべてのものとつながっているという領域のことです。

'cosmic awareness' is area where your spirit is already linked to all things.

解り易く言うと、心は、宇宙にも、大霊界にも、人間一人一人の心にもつながっているということです。

To put it simply, your spirit is a thing linked to all people's spirit all over space and throughout the spiritual plane.

この宇宙意識をうまく応用したものが、テレパシーであり、遠隔治療なのです。

That 'cosmic awareness', used well, includes telepathy and remote healing.

その他たくさんの応用法があります。

As well as many other uses.

 

[Elizabeth]

宇宙意識とは、心のもうひとつのはたらきで、すべてのものとつながっているという領域のことです。

'cosmic awareness' is area where your spirit is already linked to all things.

I don't quite understand the "hatarakide" ("wa taraki" (?)) here : it's saying that cosmic consciousness is the territory where your spirit is already linked to all things and functioning as one (?).

 

[PaulTB]

I don't quite understand the "hatarakide" ("wa taraki" (?)) here : it's saying that cosmic consciousness is the territory where your spirit is already linked to all things and functioning as one (?).

Eh, well the truth is that was a very sloppy 'translation' job I did and I obviously missed that bit.

Actually はたらき seems to be rather more flexible than I expected.
働き 【はたらき】 work; workings; activity; ability; talent; function; labor; action; operation; movement; motion; conjugation; inflection; achievement; (P)
but the interesting(?) bit is that it is はたらき_で_. I think that must be the connective form of だ so you're right it's 'working(?) as one'.

宇宙意識とは、心のもうひとつのはたらきで、すべての ものとつながっているという領域のことです。

"cosmic awareness is the spirit/soul already working(?) as one, the thing that is the area where you can say all things are linked together."

(now it's a bit too literal)

 

[Exidez]

wow, its even hard to understand in English... :
The school principal in japan was teaching me about 顕在意識、 潜在意識、 宇宙意識. It seams really really interesting however I didn't really get a full grip of what he was saying...

I kind of understand it, but kind of don't
Thanks for you help people :
Much appreciated

 

[PaulTB]

<possibly offensive>
With regard to the translated passage - think 'fluffy new-age rubbish' and you probably won't be far out.
</possibly offensive>

 

[Golgo_13]

Here's something simpler. A children's song:

"Donguri koro koro donburiko!
Oike ni hamatte saa taihen!
Dojou ga detekite 'Konnichiwa!'
Bocchan issho ni asobimasho!"

そうですね。 さて、人が、珍しい個人の教育的経験を述べるのを聞くのはいつも面白いですね。
多分、それは仏教となんらかの関係があるでしょう。。。。

 

[Exidez]

そうですね。 さて、人が、珍しい個人の教育的経験を述べるのを聞・のはいつも面白いですね。

Do you think its related to Buddhism?
It seams like another religion altogether... From what i understood, there isn't really a god, but a "power". This is the "宇宙意識" (cosmic consciousness??)...

 

[Buntaro]

Does anyone know of a word or phrase for jay-walking in Japanese?

 

[Golgo_13]

"Shingou-mushi" (literally, "ignoring the traffic signal") is a general term for running/walking a red light

 

[Golgo_13]

Another children's song:

"Momotaro-san, Momotaro-san
Koshi ni tsuketa kibidango
Hitotsu watashi ni kudasaina

Agemashou, Agemashou
Korekara boku to onitaiji
Tsuite kurunara agemashou"

 

[CMUcurry]

Zanbatou

hey buntaro-san!!!!
sorry it has been so long but i had all kinds of computer problems lately and had to send it for repairs for like a MONTH. well either way i finaly finished my over blown version of a zanbatou. the only problem is im up at school and my pictures of it painted got erased when work was done on my computer. but i have the pictures of what it looks like unpainted. so i will post the finished pictures once i repaint it because of some damage that occured to it while moveing it. but as it is it stands 6 feet tall 2 feet wide and 8 1/2 inches thick. so im a mad man hahahahaha im just glad im finished with most of it. i also am uploading the words that i am using to paint on one side. so tell me what you think and maybe sometime in the next month when im am home i can repaint it and show you all the finished thing. as well as the cool project you guys helped me to make.

 

[Buntaro]

Curry San!

It looks very cool. So now what is the plan? Are you going to paint it? Are you going to put the kanji on it?

 

[CMUcurry]

yea i had painted it but the paint got all messed up when i moved it recently. it has all sorts of marks and such becuase i didnt have a chnace to put the clear coat on it. but what happens is i have it painted all chrome then on one side i have the kanji painted in a reflective deep red color. then i will have the handle rapped in black hockey tape for grip. then some black stip i have will go around the entire outer edge so i dont hurt anyone wiht it if it falls. well not as badly at least. then the stand i have it in will be painted entirely jet black. then it will be done. what do you think?
