Hi guys, me again. thanks for the help last time.
I'm trying to translate a doujinshi, so I'll probably ask several things, but here it's something at first. I just can't find the right way to word it..
イルカが地球を脱出する
Dolphins have escaped the earth
大好きな魚は地球に置いていった
favorite fish left earth behind
あっさりと、まるで未練も無い
completely without any attachments/regrets?
俺にとっての魚はなんだったっけか
???
まあとにかく、そのイルカは俺たちにこう言うんだ
Anyway, the dolphins said
「さようなら、いままで魚をありがとう」
"So long, and thanks for all the fish."

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

Hi, here are my best guesses

イルカが地球を脱出する
Dolphins have escaped the earth
大好きな魚は地球に置いていった
favorite fish left earth behind > They left their beloved fish back on earth
あっさりと、まるで未練も無い
completely without any attachments/regrets?
俺にとっての魚はなんだったっけか
What were fish to me? (?)
まあとにかく、そのイルカは俺たちにこう言うんだ
Anyway, the dolphins said > Well, anyway, the dolphins said to us
「さようなら、いままで魚をありがとう」
"So long, and thanks for all the fish."

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

haha, I hadn't realize the 2nd sentence was talking about the dolphin's favorite fish XD
thanks so much!

OKAY, here's a conversation with two people, I'd like for it to be checked, especially the bold text. thanks
Blue= 1st speaker, Red= 2nd speaker

もし帰り方が見つからなんかったらどうする
in case I can't find a way to return, what will you do?

なんだそりゃ
What are you saying?
お前本当は帰る気無いだろ
You're really reluctant to return?

もしもだってば
Just in case
そしたらさ 俺を
Then I
俺をお前の物にしてくれるか?
Would you make me your possession?(??XD)

はあ?面白い事言うな
Ha? What a funny thing you say
良いぜどーせ俺アこの世の全てを頂くつもりだ
That's good, since my intention is to make everything mine.

*first speaker looks upset*
…何だよもっと喜べよ
You look displeased.

そういう事じゃなくってさあ…
That kind of thing wasn't...(?)

*thinking*
全然違うよ
You're wrong. (You're mistaken, for thinking that?)


thanks in advance!!

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

About to head to class so I can't comment on everything, but it mostly looks right

そしたらさ 俺を
Then I > Then would you...

…何だよもっと喜べよ
You look displeased. > What is it? You should be happy

そういう事じゃなくってさあ…
That kind of thing wasn't...(?) > That's not what I was...

Cheers

thank you, it's good to hear i'm doin okay ^^;;;; i always worry i'm reading it wrong
um, since it's been made into it's own thread, is it ok if I pop out several sentences? just the ones that are giving me a hard time. please feel free to correct/revise any of them if you can
If there's two or more speakers, I'll separate them by color

1) part of a conversation a character is overhearing
探しましたよもう! We searched!
勝手にいなくならないで下さいよ! Involuntarily(?) disappeared not good please do!

ウルセー No way
俺が何処に行こうが俺の勝手だろうが

-conversation cuts off-

2)とりあえず離れろ First, let go off me.
ケチくさいなー (stingy? modest?)
るせえ Shut up.

3)そうだ 帰らなきゃ Right. Gotta go
俺にはやらなきゃいけない事が山積みじゃないか in order to go, big event must do

4) : this one's really confusing @A@
尾行は? was she followed?
無い筈です not expected.
筈ってお前… she must've...
今ドルが居ないんですよ Now Doru musn't
あれ?Huh?  
悪いけど後でな We'll talk later.

5) んだようるせえなもー Enough already (?)

6) そりゃまあ… I suppose...
身体が一緒な訳じゃないし Since we don't share the same body
俺を知ってる訳じゃないし I can't just expect you to feel me.
うん そりゃそうだ Yeah, that's it.

7)会えただけで儲けもんじゃないか met only by luck (???)

8) フラれたわね He ditched me!
何で だめなんだ!? 別に手伝わせてくれても良いじゃないか! Why? Does he think I'm no good?
まあ別にアンタに手伝ってもらわなくても it's nothing you assist receive also
あたしたらが居るしね what am I doing(???)
あたしたらがって… ......

9) 身元くらい探ってみろよ You can try to investigate his background if you wish.
顔しか解らない外国人って… It's clear he's a foreigner.

どうやって探りゃいいんですか All the more reason to search.
ていうかあんた面白がってません?You just think this is all funny, don't you?

そーか?Why not? *laughs*

10) 俺の知ってるものがひとつもない To my full understanding
彼の事ならなんでも知ってるつもりだったのに (?)
本当に俺の知らない彼なんだな truly I don't know what he.. (??)

that's all i'll post for now ><

Quick & dirty translation:

1) part of a conversation a character is overhearing
探しましたよもう! We searched! -> Do you know how much we searched for you!?
勝手にいなくならないで下さいよ! Involuntarily(?) disappeared not good please do! -> Don't disappear just like that!
ウルセー No way -> Shut up
俺が何処に行こうが俺の勝手だろうが -> My whereabouts are none of your business
-conversation cuts off-

2)とりあえず離れろ First, let go off me.
ケチくさいなー (stingy? modest?) -> Don't be so mean!
るせえ Shut up.

3)そうだ 帰らなきゃ Right. Gotta go
俺にはやらなきゃいけない事が山積みじゃないか in order to go, big event must do -> I have an awful lot of things to do, right?

4) : this one's really confusing @A@
尾行は? was she followed?
無い筈です not expected. -> I guess not.
筈ってお前… she must've... -> What do you mean by "I guess"...?
今ドルが居ないんですよ Now Doru musn't -> Doru isn't here right now.
あれ?Huh?  
悪いけど後でな We'll talk later.

5) んだようるせえなもー Enough already (?) -> What, you are such a pain!

6) そりゃまあ… I suppose... -> Well..
身体が一緒な訳じゃないし Since we don't share the same body
俺を知ってる訳じゃないし I can't just expect you to feel me. -> I can't expect you to know me [to feel sb has a WAY DIFFERENT meaning! :XD]
うん そりゃそうだ Yeah, that's it. -> Yeah, that's right

7)会えただけで儲けもんじゃないか met only by luck (???) -> To have met is already good enough.

8) フラれたわね He ditched me!
何で だめなんだ!? 別に手伝わせてくれても良いじゃないか! Why? Does he think I'm no good? (Nice translation!)
まあ別にアンタに手伝ってもらわなくても it's nothing you assist receive also -> Well, you don't need to help.
あたしたらが居るしね what am I doing(???) -> After all, we are here.
あたしたらがって… ...... -> What do you mean by "we"...?

9) 身元くらい探ってみろよ You can try to investigate his background if you wish. -> You could at least find out about his background.
顔しか解らない外国人って… It's clear he's a foreigner. -> What can I do with a foreigner that we only know his face?
どうやって探りゃいいんですか All the more reason to search. -> And how am I supposed to find out?
ていうかあんた面白がってません?You just think this is all funny, don't you?
そーか?Why not? *laughs*

10) 俺の知ってるものがひとつもない To my full understanding -> I know absolutely nothing.
彼の事ならなんでも知ってるつもりだったのに (?) -> I thought I knew everything about him, but...
本当に俺の知らない彼なんだな truly I don't know what he.. (??) -> Now I know that I really don't know a thing about him.

Hope that helps...

o wow, things make much more sense now asfhaslfhaskd
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! (TTATT) Really appreciate it!!

just a little more... >< This is one person describing another

会ったばかりの時はそりゃもー寂しい奴たったよ平気そうなフリしてたけどな
I met him around that time that he was a calm, lonely guy (?)
いっつもひとりで「合成獣が友達!」みたいな感じ?
By himself, he sort of felt "chimera is friend"?
合成獣ってもお前らみたいなのじゃなくてもっと犬コロみたいなのな
It wasn't (?) a Chimera similar to you, more like a canine (??)
いーっつもツンケンしててからかったらすぐ怒鳴るしあいつ短気なのな
He's unsociable, and temperamental
過去のトラウマに敏感でな?
perhaps due to past trauma?
一言で言えば根暗なロンリーウルフっていうのか?
To put it plainly, I'd say he's a moody Lonely Wolf
間欲しないくせに強がっちゃって!わかってるっつーのになー(?)

thanks in advance!! ><

Another quick&dirty translation... -_-;

会ったばかりの時はそりゃもー寂しい奴たったよ平気そうなフリしてたけどな
I met him around that time that he was a calm, lonely guy (?)
-> When I met him he was a really lonely guy, though he pretended he was okay with it.

いっつもひとりで「合成獣が友達!」みたいな感じ?
By himself, he sort of felt "chimera is friend"?
-> Always alone, you know, kinda like "chimeras are my only friend" stuff?

合成獣ってもお前らみたいなのじゃなくてもっと犬コロみたいなのな
It wasn't (?) a Chimera similar to you, more like a canine (??)
-> And not chimeras like you, but more like puppies, something like that.

いーっつもツンケンしててからかったらすぐ怒鳴るしあいつ短気なのな
He's unsociable, and temperamental
-> Always unsociable and he always yelled when we joked with him, I guess he had short temper.


過去のトラウマに敏感でな?
perhaps due to past trauma?
-> His past trauma was his weak spot, you know?

一言で言えば根暗なロンリーウルフっていうのか?
To put it plainly, I'd say he's a moody Lonely Wolf
(I guess this is okay)

間欲しないくせに強がっちゃって!わかってるっつーのになー(?)
-> Not really sure about the meaning of 間欲... isn't this just 欲 (with 間 belonging to an earlier sentence)?

Ah, that makes more sense :)

仲間欲しいくせに強がっちゃって!わかってるっつーのになー
-> He acted so tough, but we (I) know that inside his heart, he wanted to have friends (comrades? partners?)

Hope this helps!
