Re: Can you help me translate these passages?

Thanks for all your help everyone! I'm still new to this, so this has been quite a lesson for me.

I was thinking of rendering "あなたにどんな思惑があるのかは知らないけれど" as "I don't know what you were expecting and I don't care. But..."
Is this okay?

Re: Can you help me translate these passages?

The "I don't care" part is weird, and it's kinda like "adding" stuff into the sentence that wasn't there in the original :p Other than that the first part is fine :)

Re: Can you help me translate these passages?

Okay, I've changed that to "I don't know what you were expecting, but..."

Karian: やっと分かったくれたんだね
Layfon: 私は信じていたよ
I was thinking of translating these two lines as:
Karian: You've finally come to your senses?
Layfon: I found a reason to fight.
The thing is, these lines reference a scene in the previous chapter here. I was wondering if rendering it this way to convey this message makes more sense than a literal translation in this case, because it doesn't make sense in the context of the chapter on its own.

Re: Can you help me translate these passages?

Hmm. Well, since you read the series, you know it better than the rest of us :)

I think the first line is fine :amuse

The second, on the other hand, I really don't think it can be rendered in the way you have done it. Believing just doesn't link to finding a reason to fight. Like I said in my first post, the subject for what he believed is not mentioned, so you should try to think based on context what this is. But imo it's too much of a stretch to become "I found a reason to fight" :sweat

I just realized. It wasn't Layfon saying "私は信じていたよ," it was Karian. That makes this so much clearer.

So I think it should be "You've finally come to your senses? I'm putting my faith in you." Or something to that effect. If this is how it is, I'll work at it some more to make it flow better and read better.

Re: Can you help me translate these passages?

Remember that "shinjiteita" is past tense and not present or future tense... So "I'm putting my faith in you" is also not quite right :sweat

Re: Can you help me translate these passages?

How about "I knew I could trust you." or "I never doubted you."

I was thinking that "I'm glad my faith in you wasn't misplaced." or "I knew you wouldn't disappoint me."

Re: Can you help me translate these passages?

Since you're not going with a literal translation, I think those 2 are fine :) As long as you convey the idea of the speaker having believed in the other person, and it fits context I think it's okay. I like the second better, but you need to decide which sounds more like the speaker and fits the context better :amuse

Is this okay?
Just for the discussion sake ....since it's been a while ....:

Imo, the verb 'expect' is a bit too passive or neutral for "思惑." It would be perfect if the original line was were 「僕に何を期待しているのか知らないけど」. The original is actually closer to "I don't know your motives but..." or "I don't know what you are plotting but ...."

You can translate "知らない" as "I don't know", or "I don't care," so your translation is basically redundant. In this case and in most cases, the first one fits better. <I know that you have already corrected this.>

[KR-E] Ghost Stars Vol. 1 Translation

Hi everyone! Ghost Stars (귀신별곡) is my first translation I'm contributing to MH. I would love feedback on the translation - particularly some critique on formatting. I also have a translation question for one of the sentences I didn't quite understand.

My Questions:
- The manhwa lists the Table of Contents at the beginning of the volume; however, it only indicates where chapter 1 begins and not the rest. I can guess where the rest fit into the story, but to avoid misrepresentation, I just listed the contents and left them out in the actual translation. Is that okay? What would you recommend?
- Should manhwa direction be noted?
- For dialogue, should I write who says what? How would panels work or bubbles in the same box? And of side notes (most of which, are thoughts noteworthy of being translated? Sound effects?
- I've put in + color the translation I needed help with. As well as one that's kind of a spoken figurative sentence so I wasn't sure how it would translate.
Maybe I need to add the actual korean text for ease-of-access ;_; I'm sorry!

Wah, wah
Please.
Hehe... fine. The contract is approved.
Hehehe... The child is strong, its body is tempting.

Page 6

After 15 years, your daughter's body is mine.
Kekeke! If I could have that child's body, 15 years is worth the wait!
What an insensitive mother. I almost feel sorry for your daughter.
It's no use to regret in Hell!
Kekekekekekeke!
Please forgive your mother who had to do this...
Uwaaah!

Page 10

Ahryung~
You've pressed the scissors.

Page 11

That's what I'm saying. / It's everyday it happens so what's up?
I'm like this because it's everyday.
It'd be weird not to be pressed (down)!
At least it's better than me. Your bowels don't explode.
I look like this because of a car accident.
Should've died finely
There's nothing I could do about it! Falling from the 13th floor, my face became like this.
This is my pleading request but please don't come near me when it's bedtime; I don't think I could handle it.
My name is Go Ahryung. From the outside, I may look like a normal middle schooler
Sigh, I can't live~

Page 12

Looks like the family will grow. Apparently, the next door neighbor Mr. Park committed suicide yesterday.
But really, I can see ghosts.
I didn't know when I was young.
There's blood on your face.
That it was a ghost.
?

Page 13
Hey guys! Youngsu wants to play with us!
Youngsu? / Where?
He's right here.
I don't see him... Did you lose your eyesight?
Don't say weird things. It's scaring me.
Youngsu... hey, isn't he that kid?
The kid who died from having his head stuck in the apartment... is Youngsu. (What!!)
He's not dead. He's right next to us.

Page 14

Huh?
Mom~!!
She's weird...
Why are you being scary?
Hm~ Are you really dead? (Nod)
Raise us too.
Well, we'll just play by ourselves.
From then on, I became a loner and hung out only with ghosts.

Page 15

Because I can't not play with them.
Be thankful at least we play with you!
Your personality is weird so you became a loner, why are you blaming us?!
Huh?
(Dad) You musn't open this until you turn 15.
Is it okay to open it?
What's that?
It's a relic my mom left me...
It's lighting up.

Page 16
I feel a little anxious...
A hairpin? Wow~ it's really antique.
There's something like ______ tied to it?
Might be better not to remove it...

Page 17

Kekekekekekekeke !!
Wh-what is that?!
Ahh!!

Page 18

Hehehe, did you free me?

Page 19

Wh-Who are you?
My name is Nachal.
Yeah. You're Chuhyeon's daughter.
How do you know my mom's name?
Hah, the body.. 15 years was worth the wait!

Page 20

It's unfortunate. Following your mom's contract, your body is mine.
My... body... is yours?

Page 21

What's this?
No way... Am I dying...?

Page 22

Eh, was yesterday a dream?
(Kekeke, your body is mine!) But to say it wasn't a dream, it felt so real.

Page 23

Maybe it's because the dead always stick to me that I dream nightmares.
That girl is Go Ahryung?
Tsk tsk, how unfortunate at her age.
Now it's almost time to say farewell to this world.

Page 25

Hey, right there. A little to the right...
Watch out!
Ack!

Page 26

Student, are you alright?
It really seemed like it fell above your head...
Just before it hit, the reinforcement broke into two!

Huk! I was really going to almost die?
Just after yesterday's dream...
How are you still alive...?

Page 27

You should've died a second ago but how come you're okay?
Should've died? (Is this a ghost too?)
According to the Black List, you were supposed to have died from getting your head cracked open by that reinforcement bar.
My head!?

Page 28

If you're still alive, I am in a difficult position.
What... What are you going to do?
Don't worry. I'll end it quickly.
I heard if you're hit within a half a second, you wouldn't feel the pain.

Kak! What are you doing?!

Page 29

Huh?!

My neck~ My neck~ Is it still in one piece?

Page 30

Who dares to put a knife against this body? Hm?
This body was mine first so find yours elsewhere.
That... that ghost is?
It's the ghost from yesterday's dream?

Page 31

Uh? Nachal?
Why are you in there?
Mind your own business!


Edited and added the original Korean text to it.

Please.

키키키... 좋아. 계약은 성립했다.
Hehe... fine. The contract is approved.

Page 6

15년 후, 네 딸의 옴은 내가 갖겠다.
After 15 years, your daughter's body is mine.

케케케! 그 아이의 몸을 가질 수만 있다면 15년쯤이야 기다려주지!
Kekeke! If I could have that child's body, 15 years is worth the wait!

저승 가서 후회해 봐야 소용없어!!
It's no use to regret in Hell!

매정한 어미군.
What an insensitive mother.
딸이 외려 측은하게 느껴지는걸.
I almost feel sorry for your daughter.

케케케케케케!!
Kekekekekekeke!

이렇게밖에 할 수 없는 못난 엄마를 용서해 주렴.
Please forgive your mother who had to do this...

우에엥~!!
Uwaaah!

Page 10

아령아~
Ahryung~

가위 눌렸구나.
You've pressed the scissors.

Page 11

안 눌리는 게 이상하지!
It'd be weird not to be pressed (down)!


새삼스럽게 왜 그래? 하루 이틀도 아닌데.
It's everyday it happens so what's up?
내 말이.
That's what I'm saying.
하루 이틀이 아니니까 이러지.
I'm like this because it's not everyday.


베발 부탁이니 잘 땐 그 얼굴 봄 들이대지 마세요. 부담스럽단 말예요.
This is my pleading request but please don't come near me when it's bedtime; I don't think I could handle it.
나도 어쩔 수 없어. 13 츨에서 떨어져 죽는 바람에 얼굴이 이 꼴인걸.
There's nothing I can do about it! Falling from the 13th floor, my face became like this.

난 교통사고로 즉사해서 이 모양인데.
I look like this because of a car accident.

그래도 나보다 낫네. 창자ㅡㄴ 안 터졌잖아.
At least it's better than me. Your bowels didn't explode.

곱게들 죽을 것이지.
Should've died finely

He's right here.

I don't see him... Did you lose your eyesight?
자꾸 이상한 소리 하지마. 무서워.
Don't say weird things. It's scaring me.

영수... 혹시 걔 아냐?
Youngsu... hey, haven't you heard of that kid?

엍그제 아파트 문틈에 머리가 낀 챼 죽은 애... 걔가 영수잖아.
The kid who died from having his head stuck in the apartment door... Youngsu.

He's not dead. He's right next to us.

Are you really dead?

흠~.
Hm~.

그냥 구리끼리 놀지 뭐.
Well, we'll can just play by ourselves.
우리도 끼워줘.
Let us play with you too.

네 성격이 이상해서 왕따 당한 걸 왜 우리 탓해?
Your personality is weird so you became a loner, why are you blaming us?!
우리라도 놀아주니 고마운 줄 알라구.
Be thankful! At least we play with you!
안 놀아줘도 되거든요.
You don't have to play with me.

어?
Huh?
그게 뭐니?
What's that?

엄마가 남기신 유품인데...
It's a relic my mom left me...

It's lighting up.

Was yesterday really a dream?

(케케케 이 몸은 내 거다!!) 하지만 꿈이라고 하기엔 지나치게 생생했어.
(Kekeke, your body is mine!) But to say it wasn't a dream, it felt so real.

어떻게 살아있는 거지?
How are you still alive...?

방금 넌 죽었어야 하는데 왜 멀쩡한 거야?
You should've died a second ago but how come you're okay?

Should've died? (Is this a ghost too?)

살생부에 적힌 대로라면 넌 그 철근을 맞고 머리통이 깨져 죽어야 돼.
According to the Black List, you were supposed to have died from getting your head cracked open by that reinforcement bar.

머리통이!!

Don't be afraid. I'll end it quickly.

This body was mine first so find yours elsewhere.

저... 저 귀신은?
That... that ghost is?

그럼 어젯밤 그게 꿈이 아니란 말야?
Then yesterday wasn't a dream?

어...? 나찰?
Uh? Nachal?
네가 왜 그 안에 있는 거야?
Why are you in there?

남이사!
Mind your own business!

Though I think "Spirit" would be better to use rather than "Ghost".

My First Translation, Dai Tokyo Binbo Seikatsu Manuaru

I just finished up 20 odd chapters of an older manga called Dai Tokyo Binbo Seikatsu Manuaru. If anyone knows this series or can help in any way, I'd really appreciate it. I'm trying to work out how to how to post it here, but until then anyone interested can search the manga and it should show up. Thank you very much! :)

Capeta Volume 3, first chapter

This is my first try at translating something, so any advice or criticism is welcomed :)

I've translated the first 4 pages of Capeta's first chapter in volume 3.

Language: Trad. Chinese => English
Link: http://www.dm5.com/m24101-p7/

(I'm sorry for not typing it out the Chinese words, but the computer I'm on is missing the language bar for some reason... So I can't switch the languages)

Volume 3, Page 7
(Page number in this case refers to the page selected. It's not the actual page number in the volume as the Chinese scans has 2 pages per pic.)

Taira Shigei: Huuh?
You want to use that old engine to race!?

Mr Ikari: Old?

Taira Shigei: Ah!

Taira Shigei: I'm so sorry, President Ikari... (or Ikari-shacho if you prefer using Japanese suffixes)

Naomi Nanako: Taira-kun, there's no need to hesitate.

Naomi Nanako: I have an extra KT engine, it was the one my son used before.
He asked me to store it carefully, just in case there was a need to switch in the future.

Taira Capeta: ...

Naomi Nanako: Taira-kun, you understand, don't you?
Among racers, regardless of how much effort you put in,

Naomi Nanako: Using on that generator engine won't help you at all.
You felt unsatisfied the last time due to the engine being too slow, didn't you?


Page 8

(Thought) Taira Shigei: ....

(Thought) Taira Shigei: ....

(Recalling) Taira Shigei remembering Capeta asking: Why does everything depend on the kart?

Taira Shigei: Wait, Capeta.

Taira Shigei: To be honest, I am also shocked. But you should think it though carefully...

Taira Shigei: It's rare seeing someone as generous as Naomi-san,
Why don't you just borrow...

(Thought) Taira Shigei: That's right.

(SFX): Nervous

(Thought) Taira Shigei: If this goes on, it would be a pity for him.

Taira Shigei: Take the faster engine.

Taira Shigei: This time, you will be able to race as fast as you want to, how about it?
Using that faster engine...

Mr Ikari: ...

(SFX): Angry

Re: Request a Full Translation Check For Nurarihyon no Mago

Rikuo-!!

Enchō- From now on in Tokyo,
これから東京中に
The One Hundred Tales Yokai created by us...will be completely released.
あたしらの作った…百物語の妖怪を全部放ちます

Enchō-Please find and reveal the important seven people hiding within the One Hundred Tales no later than daybreak!
君たちは百物語の中に隠れている重要な七人を夜明けまでに見つけ出して下さい
And if all of those seven people are crushed, then it's the Nura Family's Victory.
そしてその七人全員つぶせば奴良組の勝ちです

pg10

Rikuo- Wha...what are you saying?
な…何を言うてるんだ…?

Yanagida- Teacher, you'll have to explain it more gently to them...they just can't seem comphrend it, isn't that right?
師匠、もっと優しく説明してあげないと…理解できなさそうですよ

Yanagida- Simply put, I wonder will you guys be finished for sure this time...

Enchō- It's just a simple game of tag.
単純な追いかけっこですよ

Rikuo- Oi...!
おい…!!

pg11

Enchō- I feel that "Keidoro" and "Janken" mixed well.
〝ケイドロ〟と〝ジャンケン〟がまざった感じかな


Enchou- We hunted down these people...now the humans will hunt after you, and you will chase after us.
あたしらが人々を襲い…人間が君を襲いますそして君はあたしら追うのです

If I should say anything, "the stage" is Tokyo...and the remaining time is 14 hours.
強いて言うなら〝舞台〟は東京…〝残り〟は14時間です

わかっていると思いますが…人間は自らが助かるため君を殺そうと本気で来ますよ

クス…


pg13
Enchō- In other words...if you win, we will lose but...
つまり…君が勝てばあたしらは滅びるが…

Enchō-At that time, you and your Nura Clan, will be burned to a crisp by human hatred.
あたしらが勝つってことは...その時君と君の奴良組は人間の憎悪で焼き尽くされるってことだよ

Starting now, ten million residents of Tokyo will attack you.
君は今から一千万人の都民に襲われる

humans are terrible creatures, they suffer from sorrow and wish to blame something else.

Hope you got your translation checked and proofed by now. I didn't go over your translation, but here are couple of suggestions.

~感じかな: It's like ~ (not "I feel that ~ ")/ケイドロ needs a footnote, or simply translate it as "tag (game)"/わかっていると思いますが: As you know (It is not "I think I understand") Also translate "人間": humans / I didn't see the translated txt for あたしらが勝つってことは/

Hello. Can someone please help me check my translation? It is the first chapter of Tetsugaku Letra. The chapter is pretty long (around 60 pages). I'm still learning Japanese so any criticism will be great.

The sentences I am unsure of are in red and my comments are in blue. For thoughts I've put "name of person thought".

Thank you for your help.

Page 10

じいちゃん。
Kimitaka - Grandpa

こんなに朝早くどこへ行く?
Grandpa - Where are you going so early?

どこって 高校たよ、 俺今日入学式なんだ。
Kimitaka - Where? School, of course.
- My entrance ceremony is today

Page 11

ばんさーいっ
Grandpa - Hurray!!

しー しー 皆が起きちゃうよ
Kimitaka - Q- Quiet--
- You'll wake everyone up.

じいちゃんも行くぞ。
Grandpa - Grandpa will go too.

じ。。。 じいちゃんには無理だよ
Kimitaka - It's... It's impossible for you to, Grandpa.
俺の高校ここから2時間も掛かるんだ
- It takes 2 hours to get to my high school from here.

鉄宇、そんな汚い靴で行くのか?
Grandpa - Kimitaka, are you going in such dirty shoes?

え?
Kimitaka - Huh?

Page 12

それじゃ めでたい席に似合わんぞ。
Grandpa - Those shoes don't suit this joyous occasion.
- ほら、前にじいちゃん買うてやったろ。
- Didn't I buy shoes before?
- 赤地にカミナリさんの印が入った靴...
- Those red shoes with a thunder mark...
(The shoes have a lightning mark but doesn't kaminari mean thunder?)
あれは格好良い。 あれを履いていけ、
- Those are cool.
- Go in those--

な。
Kimitaka - No.

Page 13

知らない。
Kimitaka - I don't know.

ん?
Grandpa - Hm?

じいちゃんまたボケちゃった? そんな知らねーよ。
Kimitaka - Grandpa, have you gotten forgetful again?
- I don't know about those shoes./I don't have those shoes.

んー? そうだったかあ。。。?
Grandpa - Hm-?
- Is that so...?

悪い、 じいちゃん連れて行けない、 俺もう行くね。
Kimitaka - Sorry, Grandpa, I can't take you.
- I'm going now.

ん? 鉄宇出立か!?
Grandpa - Hm?
- Kimitaka, you're leaving?!
ばんざーい ばんざーい ばんざーい
- Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Page 14

町はまだまだ眠っている。
Kimitaka thought- The town is still sleeping/asleep.
白くて綺麗。
- It's white and beautiful.
50m離れても 見境なく 万歳を繰り返す すこし呆けた祖父も、 こころがしろくて綺麗。。。
- Even when we are separated 50m, the heart of the slightly forgetful grandpa, indisciminately repeating "Banzai" is white and beautiful too... (alternate: Even when we are separated 50 metres, the 'banzai''s repeat indiscriminately. The heart of the forgetful grandpa is white and beautiful too...)

母さんにスリッパで殴られなきゃいいけど。。。
- Though it'll be good if mum doesn't hit him with a slipper.

Page 15

とにかく。。。
Kimitaka thought- Anyway...

2番線に電車がまいります。。。
Train person - The train will be arriving on platform 2...

Page 16

わあ 鉄宇くん、小学生の頃ミニバス入ってたんだ。
Kid - Wow, Kimitaka-kun, you went into the minibus when you were in elementary.
俺たち、 中学からバスケ始めたんけど、
- We started basketball in middle school but
ルールとか教えくれない?
- Can you teach us the rules?

うん いいよ。
Kimitaka - Okay.

中学1年の頃。。。
Kimitaka thought - In my first year of middle school...

Page 17

初心者の多いバスケ部で、 経験者の自分は皆の真ん中にいられた。。
Kimitaka thought- Because the basketball club had a lot of beginners, as an experienced person, I was the centre of everyone.


勘違いした。。。
- I misunderstood.../I was under that illusion...

自分は誰より出来る人間なのだと。。。
- I thought I was someone that could do more than everyone.../more able than anyone...

中2になる頃には居場所がなかった。
- In second year, I no longer had a place I belonged.

実力も体育も誰より劣っていた。。。
- I was inferior to everyone in ability and physique...

でも。。。
- But...

驕ったままの僕の目は何も見えない。
- My proud eyes couldn't see anything.


Page 18

皆の粗を探しては、 学校の裏サイトへ書き込み続けた。
Kimitaka thought - I continued to post everyone's flaws I found
- on a site behind the school's back.

自分がどんどん黒くなっていくのが分かった。。。
- I knew that I was steadily/rapidly becoming blacker and blacker...

せ。。。 せんせいっ、納得いきませんっ。
Kimitaka - Se...
- Sensei, I don't accept this./understand
どうして 僕より経験の浅い辻村君が選ばれるのですか?
- Why did you choose Tsujimura-kun who has less experience than me?

そ。。。それはだな、えー。。。
Teacher - Well.. Er...

じゃあ 明日、 二人で試合をしませんか?
Teacher 2- Then,
- Why don't the two of them have a match tomorrow?

Page 19

正直こういうの子供じみててすきじゃないけど、 鉄宇くんが納得できるなら。。。
Tsujimura - To tell you the truth, I don't like this childish arrangement but
- if Kimitaka-kun can/will understand/agree this way than... (if this is the only way Kimitaka can understand/get why Tsujimura was chosen)

いいのか辻村?
Teacher - You're fine with this Tsujimura?

はい。
Tsujimura - Yes.

鉄宇もそれでいいな?
Teacher - You're fine with this too Kimitaka?

はい。。。
Kimitaka - Yes...

鉄宇、明日は大事な一戦と聞いたぞ。
Grandpa - Kimitaka
- I heard that you have an important battle tomorrow.

じいちゃん。
Kimitaka - Grandpa.

じいちゃんからの激励だぞ。
Grandpa - This is my encouragement.

Page 20

赤地にカミナリ印だ。
Grandpa - Red shoes with a thunder(lightning) mark.

わあ ありがとう、 僕欲しかったんだ。
Kimitaka - Wow, Thanks
- I wanted these. (It's what I wanted.)

無くさんように名前書いておいた。
Grandpa - I also wrote your name on them so you wouldn't lose them.

うわ 格好悪い。。。
Kimitaka - Uwah, that's not cool...

そうかあ?
Grandpa - Really?

そんな事しなくて大丈夫だよ じいちゃん、 僕 無くしたりしない。。。
Kimitaka thought - It's would have been okay even if you hadn't done that Jiichan.
- I won't lose them...

Page 21

ずっと履き続けるから
Kimitaka thought - Because I'll keep wearing them all the time... /Because I'll always wear them...

どうする 鉄宇くん、 続けるの?
Tsujimura - What will you do, Kimitaka-kun?
- Are we going to continue?

Page 22

辻村君はね、 中学からバスケを始めたんだよ。
Kimitaka thought - Tsujimura-kun started basketball in middle school.

ルールをひとつも知らなくて、
- He didn't know a single rule.

全部僕が教えてあげたんだ。
- I was the one who taught him everything.

心配なんて要らないよ。
- I don't need to worry.

僕 小学生からやっているんだよ。
- I've played since I was an elementary student.

Page 23

僕上手いんだ
Kimitaka thought - I'm skilled/good.

そんなはずないじゃないか。。。
- It shouldn't be like this...

そんなはず。。。
- It shouldn't be like this...
ないじゃないか。。。
- right...?

Page 24

聞いた辻村の事。
Kid - Did you hear about Tsujimura?

後ろから浮き飛ばされて脳震盪だって。。。
Kid - He was thrust down from behind and now he has a cerebral concussion...

うわ。。。 鉄宇 最悪。
Kid - Uwah... Kimitaka's the worst.

Page 25

Context: They are in the hospital. The kid that got hurt is on a hospital bed surrounded by his friends who are talking about Kimitaka.

時々いるんだよね。
Kid - Sometimes he's here.

自分は上手い。
- He thinks that he is good.

けれど評価されないのは、
- But he doesn't acknowlege that
獣医の人間が馬鹿だからって 本気で思っている奴。。。
- He really is a person who thinks people around him are idiots...


学校の裏サイトに俺たちの悪口書き込んでいるのあいつだろ?
Kid 2 - The person who posted bad stuff on the site about us behind the school's back was him, right?

自分は出来もしないくせに、 逆に寒いよ。
- Even though he can't even do anything himself,
- and he's cold. (I'm not sure how to phrase this.)

Page 26

しかしホント鉄宇って免毒背えよな。
Kid - But really, Kimitaka is annoying.
あいつの感情の自己統制力、 小学生並だろ。
- His ability to control his emotions is at the same level as an elementary student.
下らない嫉妬の度に ケガ負わされんの俺嫌だよ。
- When he's jealous for some stupid/worthless/trivial reason, he'll injure people. I don't want that to happen to me.
俺も。

Kid 2 - Me too.

頼むからあいつ自殺でもして死んでくれればいいのに。。。
Kid 3 - If only he'll just commit suicide and die...
なあ辻村。
- Right, Tsujimura?

え。。。
Tsujimura - Eh... (Context: He sees Kimitaka standing at the door)
うん。
- Yeah.

Page 27

鉄宇とは二度と関わりたくないね、早く死んで来いよ。
Tsujimura - I don't want to have anything to do with Kimitaka ever again.
- Hurry up and die.

Page 30

もしもし君、 終点だよ。
Train guy - Hello,
- It's the last stop.
もしもし。
- Hello.

え。。。
Kimitaka - Eh...

降りてください。
Train guy - Please get off.

あ。。。 す。。。すみません。
Kimitaka - Ah...
- Sorry.

新しい学校は自宅から電車で約2時間。。。
Kimitaka thought- It takes around 2 hours by train to get to my new school from home.

Page 31

中2の残りは登校拒否。
Kimitaka thought - I didn't attend what was left of my middle school second year.
中3はなんとか保健室登校し、 春休みまで使って 出席日数を補った。。。
- Third year middle school, was more or less spent in the infirmary.
I used it until spring holidays and had to compensate the number of days for attendance...
唯一、試験日に間に合ったのがこの学校。。。
- The only examination I did well enough for was this school...
でもどうだっていい。。。
- But anything (any school) was fine (for/with me)...

え。。。
Principal - Eh----
いつか君達が我が校と共に歩んだ この学校生活を振り返った時。。。
- Someday, when you look back on your high school life you have walked with this school...
その思い出が今後の人生の支えとなってくれるよう心から願っている。
- I wish from my heart that those memories will be a support for you in your life from now on.
(I'm not sure if I got this correct.)

Page 32

ご。。。ごめん お腹鳴っちゃった。
Boy beside him - Sorry, my tummy rumbled.

どんな場所にいたって、
Kimitaka thought- No matter what place it is,
もう人と関わろうとは思わない。
- I don't want to have anything to do with people ever again.

人をうらやむ事も
- Without envying people...
自分に失望する事もない。。。
- Without being disappointed with myself...
毎日をただ何もせず過ごしてさえいれば、
- If I can just pass everyday without doing anything,

Page 33

いつかじいちゃんの様に呆けて、
Kimitaka thought - Someday, I'll get forgetful like grandpa.

女子バスケ新入生大場集してまーす。
Guy - The girl's basketball club is recruiting new members.

そんな自分の事すら誰だか分からなくなって、
Kimitaka thought - As long as I'm by myself, I won't know who they are, (who anyone is)
気楽に生きられる日がやって来る。。。
- And I can live through carefree days.

これからパフォーマンスで桜ノ宮女学院と練習試合やりまーす。
Guy - Afterwards, for our performance (maybe: as a demonstration), we'll be having a practice match with Sakuranomiya Girls Academy.
皆さんぜひ観に来てください。
- Everyone please come to watch--

だからまた2時間掛けて僕は家に帰ろう。。。
Kimitaka thought - That's why I will take 2 hours again to go home...

Page 34

あのすみません。
Lady - Um, excuse me.
貴方の制服若葉台高校の方?
- Your uniform... Are you from Wakabadai High School?

あ、 はい。
Kimitaka - Ah,
- Yes.

孫の忘れ物を届けに行きたいけどタクシーが来ないの。
Lady - I want to bring something my grandchild forgot to them but a taxi won't come.
良かったら案内して頂けると助かるのだけど。。。
- If its alright with you, it'll be a big help if you could (I can get you to) show me to the school.

何もしないで。。。
Kimitaka thought - Without doing anything...

Page 35

あ。。。あの。。。
Kimitaka - Ah... Um...

生きていくときめたんだ。。。
Kimitaka thought - I've already decided to live like that.

自分急ぎますので、 専用の登校バスで良ければそれで。。。
Kimitaka - I'm in a hurry so
- You could go on the school network bus...

あ、 す。。。すみません。
- Ah,
- S... Sorry.
バス午前中で終わってます。
- It's a morning bus so its ended.

そう残念、 お手数掛けてごめんなさい。またタクシーを待ってみるわ。
Lady - Oh, that's too bad,
- Sorry to be a bother.
- I'll try to wait for a taxi again.

Page 36

本当にごめんなさいね。
Lady - I'm really sorry.

いえ。。。 うしも祖父いますから。。。
Kimitaka - It's okay.
- I have a grandpa at home too.

そう。 でもたすかったわ。
Lady - Really.
- But you've been a lot of help.
本当はすこしでも早く孫のところへ行きたかったの。
- The truth is I wanted to get to where my grandchild is even (if it is) just a little earlier/quicker.

お孫さん何年生ですか? 俺新入生なんで分からないかもしれません。。。
Kimitaka - What year is your grandchild?
- I'm a new student so I might not know them...

ううん 違うの。 いつもは横浜の女子高に通っているのよ
Lady - No. You've got it wrong.
- She's attending a girl's high in Yokohama.

今日はね、 なんでもバスケットの練習試合があるらしくて、こちらの高校に。。。
Lady - Today,
- I was told that they are having basketball practice match here, so she came to this high school...

Page 37

まさか孫がこんなスポーツするなんて、 今でも信じられないの。。。
Lady - I never thought that my grandchild would play that kind of sport,
- Even now I can't believe it...

身内がこんな事を言うのも酷い話なのだけれど。。。
- It may seem terrible to say this about my own family but
うちの孫、昔からで内向的で臆病で。。。
- My grandchild, since a long time ago has been an introvert, timid...

背がひょろっと高く。。。
- She's tall lanky/thin...


手足はペタっと大きくて。。。
- Her hands and feet are big...
(I'm not sure what hyorotto and petatto mean.)

カッパだなんてあだ名を付けられて、 いつもいじめられて独りぼっちだった。
- Her nickname was kanpa,
- and she was always bullied and alone.

Page 38

背を隠すためどんどん猫背になっちゃうし、
Lady - In order to hide her height, she stooped.(developed a hunchback)
大きいな手を隠すためいつもポケットに入れていた。
- In order to hide her big hands she always put them in her pocket.

どうにか元気付けようと思ってね、
- Anyhow, I thought I should cheer her up.(I decided to cheer her up)
気分転換に、丁度ご近所に出来たスペイン舞踊のお教室に連れていってめたの。。。
- For a change of pace I took her to a Spain dance class that just opened in the neighbourhood

Page 39

大きいなお花た色とりどりの衣装が孫の心に響いたみたい。。。
Lady - The big flowers and the multicoloured costume made an impression on my grandchild's heart...

いつか一曲でも踊れるようになったら発表会に出ようって、小さな目標が出来た。。。
- She said that someday, if she can finally dance, even just once, she would come out to perform,
- And would have fulfilled her small goal...


けれど向き不向きってあるのね。
- But everyone has something that they are good at.


何年頑張っても上手にならず、
- No matter how many years she tried, she didn't get any better.

とうとうお教室の皆から拒絶されてしまったの。。。
- Finally everyone in the class rejected her...

転校を控えていたし、
- She was going to transfer schools soon (anyway),

また違うお教室で頑張りましょうって言ってみたけど泣いてばっかり。。。
- I tried to tell her that she could try again at another/different class but all she did was cry...

Page 40

ところがね。。。
Lady - However...
ある日突然ニコニコしながら帰って来たの。
- One day, all of a sudden she came back home smiling
そしてひと言
- And said (a few words),
私バスケット始めてみる。
- "I've (going to try) started playing basketball"
転校先でバスケを始めたのはいいけれど。。。
- Starting basketball after transferring was good but...
(is it after or before?)
毎日とても苦労していたわ。。。
- She suffered extreme hardships everday...

Page 41

折角のばしていた髪も切って、 本当に一生懸命だった。
Lady - She cut her hair that she had grown for a long time
- and really tried her best.

ただ臆病なところは今も変わらなくて、 そのお守りがないとシュートも打てないらしいのと。。。
- It's just, even now she is still timid (Even now her timid personality hasn't changed)
- If she doesn't have this charm it seems she can't shoot...

Page 42

傷だらけで辛そうに帰ってくる孫によく尋ねだわ、どうして辞めないのって。。。
Lady - You come back in pain and full of injuries, I want to ask
- Why don't you quit...?

私の大きな手、カスタネットは上手く持てないけど、ボールなら上手に持てるの。
Grandkid - My big hands,
- Can't play castnets well but
- If it's the ball I can handle it really well.

大きな足もね、速くは動かないけど、少しくらい突き飛ばされても耐えられるのよ。
- My big feet too. I can't move quickly but
- Even if I'm thrust away a little, I can withstand/resist it.


ちょっとだけだけど 私、部の皆に頼られてるの。 こんなの初めて。。。
- It's only a little but I can depend on my club members.
- This is the first time...


あの人の言った通り。。。
- It's like that person said...

夢見てたのは大きな花やキレイな服だったけど、
- My dream was big flowers and pretty clothes but
私。。。 今の自分が好き。。。
- I...
- I like the person I am now...

Page 43

あの日。。。あの人に会えて良かった。。。
Grandkid - That day...
- I'm so glad I met that person...

きっと孫は素敵な人に出会えたのだったなって感謝したわ。。。
Lady - My grandchild definitely must have met a wonderful person. I am really grateful...
(I am grateful my grandchild was able to encounter someone who was definitely a wonderful person...)

人の人生を変えてしまうくらいの人間て、どんな奴だろう。。。
Kimitaka - A person who is able to change the life of a person (A human who is able to change even a person's life)
- I wonder what kind of person he is...
(I'm not sure how to phrase this.)

早く死んで来いよ

Kimitaka - I- I didn't mean to insult you.
- Um...
ボールが上手く持てそうでいいなあって。。。
- I was just thinking you'll be able to handle a ball well. (I was thinking, how lucky, it looks like you can carry a ball well.)

- I hate them.

僕なんか小さいだけで、とにかく動き回るくらいしか能がないのに。
Kimitaka - I'm only small and the only thing I can do is move around. (the only thing I am competent at is moving around)

僕ら体が逆だったら良かったね。
- It would have been better our bodies were the opposite/reverse.

Page 56

あの赤い靴捨てちゃうなら僕にくれない?
Kimitaka - If you're going to throw those shoes away, can you give them to me?
僕、小学生の妹がいるんだ。
- My little sister is in elementary school. (I have a sister in elementary.)
あげたら喜ぶと思うから。。。
- I think she'll be happy if I give them to her...

いいけど、スペイン舞踊の靴だよ?
Takara - Okay,
- But they're Spain dance shoes, you know?

スペイン?
Kimitaka - Spain?

うん? フラメンコしらない?
Takara - Yeah.
- Do you know Furamenko?

それにこれ39号だから、 大きいくなっても履けるかどうか。。。
- Also these are size 39 so
- Even if her feet do get bigger I don't know if she'll be able to wear them... (whether or not she'll be able to wear them...)

39号?
Kimitaka - 39?

Takara - ...It's 26cm..

わ、でか。。。 あ。。。ご。。。ごめん。
Kimitaka - Wow, big...

- 赤地にカミナリさんの印が入った靴...
- Those red shoes with a thunder mark...
(The shoes have a lightning mark but doesn't kaminari mean thunder?)
カミナリさん/さま (kaminari-san/sama) would cover a thunder, lightning, and an oger-like creature with 1 or 2 horns wearing a pair of pants made of tiger skin. If you see a lighting mark, just use "lightning" in your translation. :)

皆の粗を探しては、学校の裏サイトへ書き込み続けた。
Kimitaka thought - I continued to post everyone's flaws I found
- on a site behind the school's back.
学校の裏サイト = unofficial website/forum where anonymous can post anything about their school (mostly abuses about other students). Similar with "2ch".

So, in this sentence, "school's secret forum" or just "internet" would fit better.
