Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

悲しい思いをしてまで生きるなんて
なんて不毛なんだ
I'm not really sure about the "悲しい思いをして" part.

Is it "creating sadness", "carrying sadness" or something entirely different?

Pretty sure X思いをする just means "to feel X," like feeling an emotion. So: "Living is fruitless/pointless if it means feeling sad" or "Living at the expense of being sad is pointless."

Could someone kindly translate these two bits of text?

Just a comment - Though the 2nd image is in Japanese, the first one seems Chinese. The first 3 letters are "Vol. 4" and the last 2 are "to be continued" in image 1.

Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't explain. The first one came from a Chinese translation of a manga (Mozuya-san Gyakujousuru), the second one from the Japanese edition of Natsunokumo's 5th volume. Thanks for the info on the first one!

The second image is just the artist talking about how there isn't much to talk about these pictures, but they might be a bit important because he drew these alone on his birthday (I hope I'm doing this right, just registered...)

Thanks for that! Kinda sad backstory, but still, much appreciated!

"This is another good illustration. Anime related illustrations always become posters, so, after I started taking up these jobs, I started doing everything digitally."

…あんたのせいであるワケがない
誰かのせいにするならいつでもできたしな

I don't want to make a thread just because of this phrase, so I decide to do it here. I'm a little confused with the いつでもできた part. If it's present form, then it'd be an easy one, but since it's "could" (past tense) with "at any time", it kinda makes me a little confused as to what exactly does he mean. Can someone help me out with this, please? Thanks.

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

@ju-da-su

Please feel free to make your thread on the main board

"could" (past tense) -----> could have (past particle)

You could have blamed it on someone else at any time.

edit: you could add "if you wanted to" at the end.

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

First, make sure you pay attention to the difference between つ and っ, as well as よ and ょ. The correct spellings are ひっつく and ちょっと.

あの

佝でそんなにひつついてんですか？
Why [someone] is clinging [to someone else] so much?

どーでも
いーんだけど
Anything is fine // I don't care [depending on context]

うん

That's right

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

This thread is intended for members with little or no knowledge in Japanese, so transcribing txt is often not expected but very helpful.

Ana Clara, it's great to see you trying.

To all translators, please make normal threads. For those who need help in kanji character recognition, [JP] The Official Kanji Ask-for-Help Thread is available.

To make takadanama's corrections easier to read, here is a transcript for Ana Clara:
イケメンMRXお堅い薬剤師の白衣ラブも収録　

(イケメン=handsome / MR or 男性 = a man / X = and /　お堅い = serious type, sometimes referred to an adj for someone whose job is stable / 薬剤師　= a pharmacist　/ の = of / 白衣 = (white) lab coat /　ラブ = love / も　= also　/ 収録 = recorded; printed; included)

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

I can't understand yet.
I'm trying to translate this sinopse below from English to Portuguese but the last phrase (http://imageshack.us/a/img15/6466/queissoq.png) doesn't make sense for me.

Sinopse: Daycare provider, Shiraki, is secretly in love with Sakuma, the father to one of the daycare kids. Even though the recently divorced single dad is always late picking up his child, Shirai doesn't mind - because it means they will be walking home together!
It's always been the time of day that Shiraki looks forward to.
However, one day, Shiraki made a mistake of picking up a man just because his voice sounded like Sakuma's. While Shiraki was kicking out the man from his apartment, guess who just happened to stop by in time to witness the disgraceful scene -?!
Who elese, but Sakuma himself...!
Also included, Mr. Handsome x, a stiff pharmacist's white-coat love story.

So I thought that other translator could do this sentence makes sense.
