tankhedgehog Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Teacher is thinking to himself about what to do about the content of his class after the class does far better on the pretest than he was expecting: でも本当に、授業内容どうしようかな？ ここまで基本ができてるとなると、教科書をなぞるような授業をしても意味がないだろうし……。 ちょっと考えた方がいいだろうな。 「基礎を押さえつつ、みんなが興味を持つような内容の授業か……」 学生たちが素直でやりやすい分、授業の難易度が上がってる気がする。 まあ、やりがいがあるという風に考えていこう。 How do I translate the line in red? what I have right now for the line is "It feels like the better behaved the class is, the harder the class gets" but I'm not sure how that fits in with the rest of it. Any help that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 でも本当に、授業内容どうしようかな？ But seriously now, what should I do about the material we cover in class? ここまで基本ができてるとなると、教科書をなぞるような授業をしても意味がないだろうし……。 If the class already has such a strong foundation, then there's no point in giving them material following the textbook... ちょっと考えた方がいいだろうな。 I should seriously put some thought in to this. 「基礎を押さえつつ、みんなが興味を持つような内容の授業か……」 A lesson that contains material that everyone will be interested in and will still follow the curriculum... 学生たちが素直でやりやすい分、授業の難易度が上がってる気がする。 I feel that the difficulty of the course increases in proportion to how well the students handle the material.

Other than that, I think I'm good. ぽやぽや = ぼんやり 食っちまう = 食ってしまう 今のうち is really straightforward... 「ふぅむ……委員長、ずいぶん慶司に懐いたもんだなぁ」 "Fumu... It seems like Prez has become quite attached to you." 「懐くって……。姫川の場合、転入生のお世話役を仰せつかったから、それをがんばってるだけだろ」 "Attached...? She's probably just trying her best to take care of me because the teacher instructed her to." 「そうかぁ？あんな姫川ははじめて見るけどなぁ……」 "You think so? I've never seen her like this before though..." 「俺は人見知りしないタイプだからすぐ馴染んでるように見えるかもしれないが、転入したのは昨日の話だと言うことを忘れないように」 "I don't know if it's because I seem to settle in easily, but don't forget that I only transferred here yesterday." 「この学園じゃ、俺はまだよちよち歩きの赤ちゃんみたいなものだろ？姫川のはきっと母性本能的なものだよ。今のうちって話だな」 "At this school, I'm still just like an infant who hasn't even learned how to walk. So you know, it might be her motherly instincts telling her to baby me while she still has the chance to." 「……今のうちに食っちまうって話？」 "...So you're trying to say that she's gonna gobble you up while she still has the chance to?" 「こういう扱いが今のうちだけで、慣れたらすぐになくなるって話だよ」 "No. What I'm trying to say is, she'll stop once I get used to things." 「大して変わらなくね？」 "Isn't that kinda the same as what I just said?" 「全然違うだろ……」 "No, it's completely different..." 「ほら、先生来たぞ」 "C'mon, the teacher's here." 「うい」 "Kay." 今のうちに食っちまうって―― She's trying to gobble me up while she has the chance? そりゃ姫川はかわいいし、性格もいいし、スタイルだっていい具合だし、えっちしたくないって言ったら嘘になるが―― Well, in terms of looks, personality, and style, Himekawa has it all. So I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to do pervy with her―― 宇佐美先輩も姫川のこと、しっかりしてるようでぽやぽやしてるとかなんとか言ってたし、今の様子なら本当に食っちまうってことも―― Usami-senpai said that even though she seemed to have it together, she was actually an airhead. So the way things are going now, I wouldn't mind if she actually―― じゃない、違う違う。 Actually, never mind. 食うとか食わないとかじゃなくて、えっちするならちゃんとつきあってしたいし―― Before doing pervy stuff with her, I'd want to properly date her first―― じゃない、それも違う。 ...Again, never mind. ふぅ……なんかおかしいな。 Fuu... How strange. 姫川の言うように、ここに来てからいろいろありすぎたから、頭が疲れているのかもしれない。 As Himekawa said, a lot of stuff has happened the moment I came here. Maybe it's too much for my brain to handle. メティス自体も頭を使う能力だしな……あの時の≪アイギス≫の使用が、いまだに尾を引いている可能性だってある。 <Lol Persona reference> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just answered your own question, so I don't get what you're trying to ask. Should have asked more clearly. So in English, is there any archaic word that have the same meaning with visit? If I just translate おとない to visit then there's no way the MC would surprise about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barralrider Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hey guys, I have a question here: So this guy wakes up early and his mother comes in and makes this comment about him being awake without being woken up and then after that she says: しかも休み明けの初日で。……これは槍が降るな I get the first part, but the second part I'm a little confused about? Is she referring to the idiom about the spear falling form the sky? And if so is she using it to say this is really bad or trying to say that this is an incredibly rare occurrence?

Seems straightforward enough for me to not get it wrong. "The "spiriting away" events only continued for a short time, then they ceased completely". 'Happened' may be better than 'continued' depending on context. Also this is rather literal, you might want to reformulate the first part (I'm not sure how "spirited away events" sound in proper english).

Fiddle Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Okay, considering the fact that we've already released the Noble Works common route with this part included, this is probably a little late, but: 乳首見えそうな女の子: 「ふぇるまぁぁああぁぁぁぁああぁぁぁぁっ！！！？？？」 In context, the protagonist has mistakenly walked into the room of a girl changing. She screams this as her bra is falling off. I can assure you that there is no further underlying context, or I would be eager to provide it. No character with a name similar to "Feruma" or anything. After countless minutes of searching, the only conclusion we came to when coming across this line was that it referred to Pierre de Fermat (as well as Secchan's even less reasonable proposition that it sounded like "Wilmaaaaa!"). In light of recent research, however, I found that it might be the imperative conjugation of the French word "fermer." This would make sense in context, because the girl in question would naturally want the protagonist to close the door. Furthermore, it's later revealed in the game that she studies French. However, not being a French speaker, I'm not qualified to confirm whether this is the case, regardless of my professional Wikipedia research into the language -_-. Therefore, I need somebody who knows some French; only enough to determine whether "Ferumaaaaaa" would be an accurate depiction of how a Japanese person might shout "Ferme" at length. Also, if it is, would a correct way to express it in French be "Fermeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!???"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiddle Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It seems plausible enough although the first thing that came to my mind too was Fermat. The only thing is that in french the last vowel 'e' of 'ferme' is barely pronounced, and thus it would be weird to elongate it like she does, much like you wouldn't scream closeeeeeeee! - but such a kind of pronunciation doesn't even exist in japanese so it can be accounted on that. It would seem more natural to elongate the first 'e', so "Feeeeeeeeerme!!!???" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astro Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks! It'll be "Feeeeeeeeerme!!!???" then. A great mystery of our universe has been solved at last. Ferma is italian for "stop" (as a command). I've never played the game but if she's a school nerd, then I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually 'Fermat'.

Can someone translate this? That was a bit long, please try to keep things to asking specific questions, rather than translating complete paragraphs with no questions. This isn't a particularly good translation, but should at least give an idea of what's going on.

Parallel Pain Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 誰かが近くにいるのに、その人に自分のことを全く見てもらえない、気にしてもらえないって言うのは、あんまり気持ちのいいことではないんだよ I has no idea how to read this D: the 2nd phrase confuses me I'm not sure of the context, so I could be wrong, but it sounds like it's saying: "Even though there's someone close by, I can't get them to take a look at me. Saying "I can't get them to care" doesn't feel very good." Almost. って言うのは is more of a verbal quotation mark or clause marker than literally "to say" (I wish we had that in English). "It doesn't feel very good to have someone be so close, yet unable to get him/her to look at me/you/oneself, to care about me/you/oneself." Choose one of the pronouns. It doesn't matter which in English as long as it matches. Cyrillej1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yeah, that's why you should provide context when you ask this kind of questions. I happened to have run into that line just now since it's at the very beginning of Irosekai. In context, the girl talking actually can't be seen by other people which brings a new light to the sentence. "It doesn't feel very good to have someone close to me, and yet being unable to be seen, unable to be noticed by that person" would probably be more accurate then, even though Parallel Pain's sentence is pretty close in meaning.
