Done Various short sentences

Sulphur · Feb 11, 2012

Answer whatever parts you feel like. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Context: Talking about someone's "smiling face":

不思議と見飽きる　事は無く
^ This I get: I strangely never got tired of [seeing] it

next panel:
気付けば当たり前の様に　感じていたそれに
^ It's like, I see the parts, but put together I'm unsure...
Also my first time encountering 「当たり前の様に」 Aside from my own first thoughts, I've seen "like nothing's wrong" and "for granted" used for it...

…and later…
その笑顔に応えて　やる事もせず
^ ....I think I'm just unnecessarily confusing/second-guessing myself.

======================================
From another comic:
傷つき消耗した奴
^ I was trying to find a good word or compound in English for this… All I've got is: injured and exhausted, wreaked, burnt out, all beat up. Suggestions?
これは私が決めたことだ　後侮はしていない！　
This is something I chose. ^ ???
前線なんてハナから無理に決まってんじゃねーか
^ The bold part is troubling me.
くだらない妄言を吐くな　そんなことをしなくても
^ Which is the best way to translate this? ~~I also wasn't entirely sure whether it was one sentence or two.~~

======================================
Aaand more: Mostly just to check my translations.
悪いな...　色んな意味で
Sorry… for a lot of things [lit., various senses]
^I understand, yes?

言わなくていいだろそれ！
That's enough out of you! / That’s enough of that! / Enough about that!
^ Which is best do you think…?

Context: Character B is hesitant about chara A's choice of action. Chara A is all, 'It's more important we take care o' business.' And chara B is all:
尤もではあるが...
That may be, but… < Is this…correct?

======================================
Last of 'em!

Context: Unconscious/injured person [C] has been put into fresh clothes. Presumably, chara A didn't make a big deal of that person being female. ;D

A: …This part's done.
B: *thinking* 男だなあ
^ Is…is he saying, "He's the man?" xD Or more like, "He [really] is a man [as opposed to an immature boy/teenager who would be awkward in such a situation]?"

Later, speaking to a maid, referring to the injured person [C] (who was previously in charge of the place I think):
A: [C]にはアジトがやったということにしておいてもらう
^ … I got the gist, but... the bold is throwing me off...

*as they start to take her away*
maid: 続きも自分たちでやろんですね. . .
^ Is that the right kanji (handwriting FTL)? Translation…?
A: 何も変なことはしてないからな！
Because we're not doing anything funny!
^ Lol. Better translation anyone? Or is this good?

13. Kanji is fine. Change a hiragana letter though. やろんですね ---> やるんですね
14.　I haven't done anything weird! ----> It depends on the context. The connotation can be: I have not done anything (sexual) to her! *edit/add 14. 何も変なことはしてないからな！--"変なこと" is not "funny." It's more like "fishy." 3. その笑顔に応えて　やる事もせず This is not a full sentence. Without even responding to his/her smile,

Just one very quick suggestion...Hope this helps though, but if it doesn't, then I'm sorry...>_<"

不思議と見飽きる　事は無く
^ This I get: I strangely never got tired of [seeing] it

Might need some rephrasing, but yep... .-.

next panel:
気付けば当たり前の様に　感じていたそれに
^ It's like, I see the parts, but put together I'm unsure...
Also my first time encountering 「当たり前の様に」 Aside from my own first thoughts, I've seen "like nothing's wrong" and "for granted" used for it...

当たり前の様に is literally "Like it's normal" after all, so yeah...I don't know if それに is supposed to be part of the next sentence or not though (though I'm leaned toward it being a part of the next sentence rather than in the same sentence as this), but it would be something like "Before I knew it, I already took this feeling for granted. Plus..." or something along that line, if I were to only look at your sentence without any context.

これは私が決めたことだ　後侮はしていない！　
This is something I chose. ^ ???

I'd go with "I have no regret about it!" as in, s/he chose to do something him/herself, so s/he has no regret for whatever is the outcome of his/her action.

前線なんてハナから無理に決まってんじゃねーか
^ The bold part is troubling me.

Something like "Isn't it plain clear from the very start that you can't go on the front line?" or something like that. ~に決まっている indicates something as being very obvious and predictable, since it's a plain fact or something like that. I don't know how to explain it well enough myself, but basically, the speaker of that sentence is saying that for someone to go out onto the front line is plain impossible and it's a dead fact, something anyone already know about, or something like that. ._."

くだらない妄言を吐くな　そんなことをしなくても
^ Which is the best way to translate this? I also wasn't entirely sure whether it was one sentence or two.

From the look of it, I'm going to assume that そんなこと is referring to how he's barking out stupid things without even thinking (the former part), aka I'd translate it as "Stop barking out nonsenses. It's totally unnecessary.", but I'm not totally sure unless you give me some context to it though. >.>"

悪いな...　色んな意味で
Sorry… for a lot of things [lit., various senses]
^I understand, yes?

Yep... .-.

言わなくていいだろそれ！
That's enough out of you! / That’s enough of that! / Enough about that!

If I were to choose from yours alone...don't know. I'd translate it more like "Do you even have to say that!?" or something like that rather. ._."

Context: Character B is hesitant about chara A's choice of action. Chara A is all, 'It's more important we take care o' business.' And chara B is all:
尤もではあるが...
That may be, but… < Is this…correct?

I'll go with "You got the point, but..." instead though...but again, don't know the context, so...>_<"

A: …This part's done.
B: *thinking* 男だなあ
^ Is…is he saying, "He's the man?" xD Or more like, "He [really] is a man [as opposed to an immature boy/teenager who would be awkward in such a situation]?"

I'll go with the latter, but in the sense that he's being manly or something like that. Don't know the context though, like that line you said you already had it done, so I can't give you any further suggestion. It can be the former as well depending on the context after all...:S

maid: 続きも自分たちでやろんですね. . .
^ Is that the right kanji (handwriting FTL)? Translation…?

Translation: "So we'll have to work out from here on as well"?

PS. My grammar isn't good, so sorry about that as well...>_<"

2. 気付けば means "when I noticed", 当たり前 is something you don't have to think about, because it is obvious, natural, or how it is supposed to be. の様 means "as if", "like", "appears to be". "When I noticed it, I didn't give it a second thought. Also..."

3. せず means "without doing", やる事 are things you have / are supposed to do. "I replied to the smile and just lazed around"

4. 傷つき消耗した there's a causal relation implied here: someone/something gets injured/scratched and thus becomes useless / gets used up. Context? I'm imagining a general talking about soldiers who became useless because they got injured.

5. This is something I decided / chose to do (so) I have no regrets!

6. に決まってんじゃねーか is a rougher version of に決まってるん（= の）じゃないか. に決まってる means "it's obvious". じゃないか can mean various things, here it probably expresses that the speaker expects agreement.

7. 吐くな is a rougher imperative than 吐かないで. しなくても is a truncated version of しなくてもいい. "Just stop talking about that nonsense already. No one cares."

8. Difficult to say without context. I disagree about the t/l "for a lot of things" because that is usually 色々ありがとう (thanks for everything) or 色々悪かった (sorry about the things I did). 色んな意味で means that the previous part can be understood in more than one way. As you wrote, 悪い can mean "I'm sorry", although "sorry" is usually 悪かった and 悪い is used more like "thanks" ("It's bad of me to trouble you"). The speaker probably expresses thanks or that he is sorry AND that something went bad or somebody is evil or something like that.

9. だろ is a rougher version of だろう and expresses that the speaker expects agreement, so sth like "Do you really have to say that?" is probably better.

10. "That may be" would be sth like そうかも知れない. I think it's better to t/l "That is reasonable / correct, but..."

11. Your second interpretation looks good.

12. にする means "decide", ておく means leave something (as in "leave the door open"), てもらう means have somebody else do something for the speaker, ということ nominalizes and summarizes/bundles the whole previous part. "We'll just have them pretend that the agitators(?) did that to C."

13. We're going to do the rest by ourselves, too, aren't we?

14. してない is not progressive and you usually don't have to t/l から at the end of a sentence. "I didn't do anything funny!"

Thank you, everyone! I really appreciate your help. These were trouble spots I'd collected and saved in a document a long time ago but forgot about until recently. ^_^;; I should have saved all the links for proper context... >_> Sorry.

Aha! #1-3 are actually from the same page:
「不思議と見飽きる　事は無く
気付けば当たり前の様に　感じていたそれに
何度となく　救われていた　のかもしれない…
なのに　オレは…　
その笑顔に応えて　やる事もせず
ただ冷たくあしらった…」
▼
不思議と見飽きる　事は無く
Strangely, I never tired of seeing it

気付けば当たり前の様に　感じていたそれに

何度となく　救われていた　のかもしれない…
It might have saved me countless times

なのに　オレは…
And yet I...
[I could also say, ”Even though (なのに) it might have saved[...], I..." - right?]

その笑顔に応えて　やる事もせず

ただ冷たくあしらった…
I just gave you the cold shoulder...

傷つき消耗した奴
 ^ I was trying to find a good word or compound in English for this… All I've got is: injured and exhausted, wreaked, burnt out, all beat up. Suggestions?

4. 傷つき消耗した there's a causal relation implied here: someone/something gets injured/scratched and thus becomes useless / gets used up. Context? I'm imagining a general talking about soldiers who became useless because they got injured.

Yeah, it was medical personnel talking about someone/people getting hurt in battle.

Later, speaking to a maid, referring to the injured person [C] (who was previously in charge of the place I think):
A: [C]にはアジトがやったということにしておいてもらう ^ … I got the gist, but... the bold is throwing me off...  *as they start to take her away*

Click to expand...

にする means "decide", ておく means leave something (as in "leave the door open"), てもらう means have somebody else do something for the speaker, ということ nominalizes and summarizes/bundles the whole previous part. "We'll just have them pretend that the agitators(?) did that to C."

I know アジト is base/den/hideout/safehouse. Earlier the maid explains she came and was charged with taking care of character C, though they didn't know she was there. I thought maybe it was a different やる (like "run" [a business] or "send" [to..]) and maybe the が was replacing を or... something... I don't know... I should look for the original document...

14. してない is not progressive and you usually don't have to t/l から at the end of a sentence. "I didn't do anything funny!"

I thought してない was shortened from していない (している＋ない). So this is more like して＋ない? Could you help me understand the tense for this? I initially thought since they were leaving it was implying they wouldn't do anything untoward rather than that they hadn't (though they didn't, so...).

14.

I thought してない was shortened from していない (している＋ない). So this is more like して＋ない? Could you help me understand the tense for this? I initially thought since they were leaving it was implying they wouldn't do anything untoward rather than that they hadn't (though they didn't, so...).

* wouldn't: 何も変なことはしないからな！
* didn't/hadn't: 何も変なことはしなかった/したことがなかったからな！
* am not/haven't: 何も変なことはしてないからな！ I haven't done anything fishy!
-haven't fits better here-

* してない is a colloquial form for していない (する+いない＝していない)

Examples of ていない:

example for "do not"
もうそんなことはしていない。
I don't do that any more. (=I am not doing that any more.)

example for "is/am not"
彼は息をしていない。
He is not breathing. (VS　He does not breathe would be 彼は息をしない)

example for "have not"
しばらくそんなことはしていない。 I have not done that/such a thing for a while.
まだそんなことはしていない。I have not done that/such a thing yet. <--- This is the closest one to your sentence.

からな is just an emphasis. It's like "I'm telling you that ...." but you don't really need to translate it specially when you add a "!" mark.

1.

不思議と見飽きる　事は無く
Strangely, I never tired of seeing it

Add: get/got
12.

We'll just have them pretend that the agitators(?) did that to C.~~"~~

--->
Change the position of C, and the sentence sounds fine: We'll just have C pretend that the base* did that.
