Need a word or phrase translated?

ImNotJapanese said:
How would you say "Everyone's stupid." or "You're all stupid."
Mina no baka?
*shrugs*
The one I've heard most is
ばかばっか (bakabakka)
The first 'baka' is for stupid, the second is a slang version of 'bakari' meaning
'nothing but'.
許り 【ばかり】 (prt) (uk) approximately; just; only; merely; nothing but
 
Probably I little long but I have tried translating it myself....

びよろ駅のホームを出ると、幌舞(ほろまい)行の単線は町並を抜けるまでのしばらくの間、本線と並走する。
ガラス張りのリゾート特急が、一両だけのキハ12形気動車をゆっくりと眺め過ごすように追い抜いて行く。
ダイヤのいたずらか、それとも都会のスキーヤーのために用意された演出なのか、特急の車窓には乗客が鈴なりになって、朱(あか)い旧国鉄色の単行ジーゼルを見物している。やがて幌舞線が左に大きくカーブを切る分岐点まで来ると、特急の広いガラスごしにはいくつものフラッシュが焚かれたのだった。
18時35分発のキハ12は、日に3本しか走らぬ幌舞行の最終だ。

This is my translation but I don't now if it is correct
Please guide me in the right direction...

the train leaving biyoro station and bound for the single track lane to horomai station passed through the line of towns, and for a little while runs parallel to the main line..

The kiha 12 train slowly catches up to the express resort train which has many windows like it is spending its like looking at the scenery..

Weather it was a diagram trick or for the benefit of the town skiers, the production of the red diesel train was on exhibition and the passenger side window of the train became heavy.

Soon, left of the horomai line is a diversion by a big curve, but until then there were flashes of cameras which could be seen from the window.

The train that leaves at 18:35 is the last one of the 3 trains that are bound for horomai station today


This passage is from a book called 鉄道員(ぼっぼや)

びよろ駅のホームを出ると、幌舞(ほろまい)行の単線は町並を抜けるまでのしばらくの間、本線と並走する。

Once the train leaves the Boyoro station, the single track bound for Horomai runs parallel to the main line until it exits the town.

ガラス張りのリゾート特急が、一両だけのキハ12形気動車をゆっくりと眺め過ごすように追い抜いて行く。

The glass-paneled resort express slowly passes a single car of type 12 Kiha Locomative as if in admiration.

ダイヤのいたずらか、

"Daiya" in this case does not mean "diagram".

It means more like a schedule of trains as a system as a whole, as used by the railways themselves. Passengers use a different word for train schedules.

The rest looks good!
 
im still not sure what a ニ胆ニ辰ニ停? is
i thought its like a diagram which shows all the train tracks and stations it goes to.
like you see in the subways of tokyo..
is this what it is?

also has anyone read this book?
theres alot of dialect in it which is hard to understand...

.

That type of diagram is probably where the word ダイヤ originated from. But its definition now is a railway schedule in general. For example, "If there is an accident at so and so station, the ダイヤ for the west-bound trains from Osaka will be all fu__d up!" The Japanese rail systems try to run the trains precisely on schedule to the minute and it's all according to the ダイヤ.

Capische?

Thus, "ダイヤのいたずらか" would mean "Did the rail schedule play a trick?"
 
You're missing
鈴生り 【すずなり】 (n) loaded; overflowing; crammed
(Presumably that's what was translated as 'heavy' but heavy doesn't really work.)
 
Hey sup.. I been learning jap for a lil while.... but I forgot a few basic stuff.. so like.. can I say: Anatawa nihonjin desu ka. makes sense? ( i forget things I don't use much :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)

特急の車窓には乗客が 鈴なりになって
"the passenger side window became crowded"

That should be a better translation.. I couldn't find a better word for heavy at the time
my English has faded a bit since I am living in japan :-)

thanks a lot!
 
Well here's that song in kanji 'n' kana for those of us who find
romaji a pain the the posterior.

誰もが気づかぬうちに 何かを失っている
ふと気づけばあなたはいない 思い出だけを残して
せわしい時の中言葉を失った 人形たちのように
街角に溢れた野良猫のように 声にならない叫びが聞こえてくる

もしももう一度 あなたに会えるなら
たった一言 伝えたい
ありがとう ありがとう

時には傷つけあっても あなたを感じていたい
思い出はせめてものなぐさめ いつまでもあなたはここにいる
もしももう一度 あなたに会えるなら
たった一言 伝えたい
ありがとう ありがとう

もしももう一度 あなたに会えるなら
たった一言 伝えたい
もしももう一度 あなたに会えるなら
たった一言 伝えたい
ありがとう ありがとう

時には傷つけあってもあなたを感じてたい
 
And now the [rough] translation.

誰もが気づかぬうちに 何かを失っている
While I hadn't noticed something was lost.

ふと気づけばあなたはいない 思い出だけを残して
When I came to notice you were not there, only memories left behind

せわしい時の中言葉を失った 人形たちのように
During (that) busy time words were lost and we became like dolls,

街角に溢れた野良猫のように 声にならない叫びが聞こえてくる
Like the stray cats flooding the street corners, our yells not heard as voices.

もしももう一度 あなたに会えるなら
If I could meet you once more

たった一言 伝えたい
There's just one word I want to say.

ありがとう ありがとう
Thank you, thank you.

時には傷つけあっても あなたを感じていたい
Even if we sometimes hurt each other, I want to feel you.

思い出はせめてものなぐさめ いつまでもあなたはここにいる
Comforted at least by my memories, you are always here.

もしももう一度 あなたに会えるなら
[rept]
たった一言 伝えたい
[rept]
ありがとう ありがとう

もしももう一度 あなたに会えるなら

Hello, I'd be very grateful if someone translated into English the following for me:

Anatawa hansamuno otokonohitoto henno hitoto omoshirokute
okashii watashino shinyu desu.

Thank you in advance.

初めて聞いた変人と部分です。
日本語の表現としてはかなり変った言い方ですね。:p

If you don't mind me doing some speculative correction then I think that maybe either
初めて聞いたのは「変の人」の部分です。
or
初めて聞いた部分は「変の人」です。
would be better.

Although I guess I would have said
「変の人」は初耳です。
 
There's still something funny about it to me as well : the below sentence from a letter I'd received and more or less improvising the rest.

初めて聞いたnamae desu.

I'm sure it was supposed to be "hen NA hito"

When I hear a name I'm not familiar with, I alway say

"Kiita kotono nai namae desune"
 
Yeah, my way may be roughly "It's the name heard for the first time" as opposed to
'a name I've never heard before' which sounds a little jokey in English but nothing terribly offensive.

Actually for my little joke mis-interpretation of your post to work he wouldn't be.

Golgo_13さんの趣味じゃない? :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
 
Thank you very much for the translation.

Could you please tell me what you are discussing here? For rather obvious reasons I'm interested in everything regarding that sentence...
