Re: Help
It is quite easy(?) for them to behead/decapitate only those who escaped. ['easy' is not the exact word I was looking for, because as you said, it means 'no scruples', but I can't seem to find a word to match this sentence structure.]Vaelis wrote:I was wondering if someone could translate this for me:
逃亡(とうぼう) しただけで 斬首(ざんしゅ) くらい 平気(へいき) であるぞ。
"They have no scruples about decapitating those who try to escape"?
This is what I can do with what little Japanese I know. If it's wrong, please feel very free to correct me. =P
Edit: My friend suggested "Only beheading should be enough for those who escaped." But he said further context would be needed to disambiguate this sentence. Hope this helps. =)
"Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle."

Re: Help
That sounds fine to me. I read it as "They'd even go so far as to decapitate people just for running away.", but as Zyzzyva said, it's hard to be sure without context.Vaelis wrote:I was wondering if someone could translate this for me:

Re: Help
I'm having a little difficulty translating 合コン荒らし. Is it 'party trasher', 'party pooper', or 'party animal'?
Also, I'd greatly appreciate some help with "味方にこそなれ敵でなる奴らじゃない". Is it "They're not people who will switch from being friends to foe"?
Thanks so much once more!
