== Hyouka:Volume 2 Chapter 1 ==

I was wondering if there was a better, English metaphor to use instead of "I felt like a piece of rotting wood within the mountain", or if you could explain what it means so I could think of one or put it as a note in the chapter. Thanks. --[[User:Dan.|Dan.]] 14:48, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Here's the original sentence in full. Make what you will of it.
俺は山の賑やかの枯れ木だが，一応聞く姿勢はみせる。

Thanks. It seems like this comes from the idiom "枯れ木も山の賑わい" which means “even the dead trees contribute to the mountain’s prosperity”. It means something like "even things that seems useless have their uses" and also something like "something seems useless only because we don't know what its use is".  I think Oreki is comparing himself to the tree from this idiom, saying that he is useless, or that he doesn't know what his use is in that situation. For now I'll add a note; if you can think of something better to do, or if my note isn't good enough, feel free to change it. If this is incorrect, please remove it. --[[User:Dan.|Dan.]] 12:17, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

For the narrator's lines in the movie, what font would you like it to be (any specific font)? Or what kind of font (serif or sans-serif, wide or thin, all-caps/small caps or normal)? Do you just want a different color? Do you have a certain look in mind, or do you just want it to be different from the other text? The more information you give me, the more it will look like what you want. For now I'll make it a  different font and leave it italic; I'll change it if you tell me what you want. --[[User:Dan.|Dan.]] 15:51, 22 May 2012 (CDT)

Originally, I thought you meant only the narrator's lines, but all the dialogue in the movie has italics, so I changed all of it. If that was wrong, tell me and I'll change it back. --[[User:Dan.|Dan.]] 16:19, 22 May 2012 (CDT)
