Hello.
In japanese festival songs there're usually some meaningless words that
are there only to give rhythm to the song itself. How would you put them in English?
I have this サのヨイヨイ as the closing sentence in a flyer advertising a folk dance event
and this is the song where it comes from
http://www.katch.ne.jp/~sano/dobuita/newpage19.htm

It's just an interjected chant without significant meaning.
Something like 'Yeah Yeah' or 'That's Right' might work.

Anyone mind if I get their take on 銃と剣が際限なく湧く「領地」をもち? I'm particularly interested in the 湧く part. If it isn't too much trouble, I'd like to know what the sentence means with and without it (if it even changes the meaning).

This is probably wrong, but I wanted to try



Do you possess the "territoy" in wich swords and guns are produced without a pause?
(湧く is literally to gush forth but I translated with being produced, well it's a metaphore I think or a weird fantasy manga XD)

Btw sure I'm not

Hello again, I've got a problem with a sentence.
A guy suggests to this one who's talking to give some of his paddy field fine
earth to other people to mix it with theirs that seems to lack the nutrients
and stuff to make crops grow. He thinks that mixing the two types together
maybe will work. The other guy is very pissed and starts hitting him and then he says:

俺にとっての
この土に相当するモンが
お前にもあるだろう？

Basically I don't know what meaning to give to that "soutou suru".
To be worthy? To suit? To be proper?

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread (Thread for Non-translators)

この土に相当するモンが

=この土地に相当するものが

Aに相当する＝equivalent to A

...

Pretty close to bang on, but this seems like a sentence that is said in a very old-fashioned way, referring indirectly to the presence of weapons, rather than to their production.
Essentially, it's best translated as something like, 'You/I possess a territory with an endless fountain of guns and swords'.

Note that the question mark belongs to 'Anyone mind if... ?', and not to the japanese provided. The key to translating the sentence is to keep it as natural sounding as possible, but still give it that old-fashioned samurai tone that it has. The way the sentence is said, it is very similar in tone to kung-fu masters in cheesy karate movies who might be caught saying 'The land has suffered the wrath of men' and other excessively clunky analogies/personifications.

Good evening lads.

There was one song from Totoro i liked, and i wonder its meaning. Wikipedia says it's

"The Huge Tree in the Tsukamori Forest" (塚森の大樹 Tsukamori no Taiju?)

How do you translate "Tsukamori"?
Is it not translatable word? Or is it name of a forest? E.g. "Forest of Linkoln"

Thanks in advance!

You don't need to translate 塚森 since it is just a name of a place (forest) in the anime. It means 塚 (a mound; a hillock) + 森 (woods). Tokyo (東京) means east capital, but you don't translate it likewise.

Please read the opening post for instruction of this thread. A request should be a single page or less. Thanks!

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread (Thread for Non-translators)

Hello.
I can't figure out what the verbs in the red-dotted bubble are due to the raws bad quality. Maybe someone with a better knowledge of japanese could do it...

The other three should be norou, eguru and korosu.

The top one and the one on the right are also 殺ス. The bottom one on the left is 裂ク.

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread (Thread for Non-translators)

I really didn't want to see your request go unanswered, so I started working on this yesterday. With the help of a discerning eye, a good dictionary and a bit of intuition, I was able to translate one of the pages. I'll start working on the author's comments later on, but I'm tired tonight. The hardest part was determining the kanji, not the translation itself. Anyways, here's the first translation without the title ribbon completed. I'll edit in the title ribbon text later in bold. Here you go:

Sherlock Holmes:

青山剛昌の名探偵図鑑
Gōshō Aoyama's Great Detective Dossier

シャーロック・ホームズ
Sherlock Holmes

小説家コナン・ドイルが生み出した名探偵(めいたんてい)の代名詞(だいめいし)ともいえる不滅の探偵、　それがシャーロック・ホームズだ！！
The immortal detective imagined by novelist Conan Doyle and what some call the epitome of a great detective is Sherlock Holmes!!

常に冷静沈着な彼は、優れた観察力(かんさつりょく)と推理力(すいりりょく)の持ち主で、剣術の達人である。
He is a master swordsman with an always calm composure and with extraordinary powers of observation and deduction.

暇なときは、ベーカー町221番地Bの自室でパイプをふかし続けているが、依頼を一度受けると、獲物を狙う狼のごとく、エネルギッシュに活動を開始する！！
With his spare time, he smokes his pipe in the sanctity of his room in 221B, Baker Street, but whenever he receives a request, he goes in for the kill just like a wolf, energetically bursting into action!!

難解な事件ほど知的興奮を覚える彼は女性にはあまり興味がないらしい……
He, who feels intellectual stimulation from tackling intangible situations, doesn’t seem very interested in women……

得意の「初歩的なことだよ」のフレーズでいつも相棒のワトソン博士はいじめられているが、愛読者の私もその一人だ。
His pal Dr. Watson is always being teased by Sherlock's favourite phrase, ‘it’s elementary’ and being an avid reader, I like to use the phrase as well.

とにかく子供の頃から探偵が大好きで、書店で「ホームズ」や「名探偵」の文字を見かけると、思わず手にとってしまうぐらいはまっていました。そんな俺が知恵をしぼって作ったこの作品、はたしてあなたは、コナンより先に事件を解くことができるかな？（なんてね…）

Gōshō Aoyama Presents
Hey there, I’m Mr. Aoyama.
Anyways, because I loved detectives from my childhood, whenever I’d go to the bookstore and see the names of great detectives like Holmes, I’d pick them up without thinking and then get addicted to them. I put all my wisdom into these stories, so I wonder if any of you managed to solve the cases before Conan could? (…What am I saying)
