Black Lagoon 66

Originally intended to be a set of corrections to Faires' translation, which got a bit too long. Hopefully I won't be making a habit of this.

Not quite sure how to romanise シェーン. Shen VS Sham VS Sam? I went with the last, since Sam's a more usual American name.

Edit: the things you learn... 'over and out' is wrong!

----------

Blue lines are places I'm uncertain about

Formatting's a little different from what I usually do:

Line in bubble
Line in sub-bubble

New whole bubble

Hopefully it's intuitive enough :/

[Page 14]

これが解けないって?
You say you don't get this?
どれ、見せてごらん。
Here, show it to me.


森の絵の中に、4つのものがあるんだって。
There are four things in this painting of a forest.
でも、どう見ても森で狩リをしてるだけの絵なんだ。
But no matter how you look at it, it's just a painting of a hunt in a forest.

なるほど。
I see
ふーん……どれどれ?
Hmph... Lemme see?

ふうむ……一見しただけじゃ、確かにわからないな。
Hmmmm... It's true you wouldn't understand if you're only seeing it for the first time.

誰が持ってきたんだい、これは?
Who did you get this from?

エミリオが自慢しに見せに来たんだ。
Emilio came over to show off to me, all proud and stuff.
でも　4つなんて、あるわけないよ、あの子嘘ついたんだ。
But I don't get how there can possible four things in there. That kid must've been lying.

ガルシア、簡単に人をつきなどと言ってはならんよ。
Garcia, don't accuse someone of lying so quickly.
ちゃんと解いたからこそ、自慢をしに見せに来たんだろう。
He must have found it to be so proud when he showed it to you, right?

そっちはただの白紙だよ、父さん。
That side's just plain paper, Father.

[Page 15]

なるほど。
I see.
…君は、表からしか見てなかったんだな?
...You only looked at it superficially, right?

それじゃあ見つかるわけがない。
Then you would have never found it.

難しいものを解く時はね、こうやって…ほら。
When solving difficult problems, you do it like this... Look.

前からも後ろからも、角度を変えて見てみるのが大切なんだ。
Whether it's from the front or the back, it's important to look at it with different perspectives.

そうすると…
If you do that...
ここにライオソ、ここにミミズク、ここに天使——
Here's a lion, here's a horned owl, here's an angel--
ここに…ほら、何が見える?
Here's... Look, what do you see?

あツ、
Ahh,
キリスト様だ!
It's Christ the Lord!

本当だ、でも……
That's true, but...
なんでさっきはわからなかったんだろう?
Why is it we couldn't point out anything just now, I wonder?

君は先入観でこの絵を見てたんだ。
You looked at this painting with preconceptions in place.

絵の向きに合わせるのが正しい見方だと、そう思い込んでいたんじゃないかね。
You thought that you were looking at the picture the right way up, weren't you?

[Page 16]

普通に眺めてする納得こともできる。
There are things that can be understood from an ordinary viewpoint.
でも——
But--

正しく物事を見ようとしたら、実はこうして眺ぬてみないとわからない。
Truth is, you won't be able to judge what is right without scrutinising things this way.

だから、
That's why,

君はよ・く・考・え・て・——…
You must think clearly---...

決・め・な・け・れ・ば・な・ら・な・い・よ・。
Before deciding what to do.
