Akiha haruhi v9 prologue

If you have free time, please decipher this Engrish and post it on Talk page!

• lowest Koizumi is a bit ruder.

  Koizumi squinted his eyes and raised his lips slightly upward, arms crossed in front of his chest, legs resting on the table.

  • correst: crossing legs.
• culture Translation note "Gakku" is needed

  original: I ended up in North High due to my results,

  correct: I ended up in North High due to Gakku,

  • My dictionary says "Gakku" is school district.. Is there school district on other countries?
  • http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AD%A6%E5%8C%BA
• low 'the pot calling the kettle black'

  'the pot calling the kettle black' is somewhat not equivalent the corresponding Japanese saying.

  • more explanation about the context in which it is used is essential to rationalize this suggestion....
• normal

  I'm not planning to wear this to lessons, so is it really important? Don't you agree with me, Mikuru-chan?” “Eh? Ah… Yes… But if we're forced to go home just because we are wearing this then…”

  correct:I'm planning to wear this only after school not in class nor my way to school, so is it really important? Don't you agree with me, Mikuru-chan?” “Eh? Ah… Yes… But It's too embrassing for me to wear this in my way to school…”

• low more smooth cource of story

  Haruhi looked at me with a face of displeasure. I suddenly felt as if my emotions resembled those of a shrimp sensing the presence of a whale nearby, and immediately ran for cover behind Nagato.

  correct:Haruhi looked at me with a face of displeasure. I suddenly felt as if my emotions resembled those of a shrimp sensing the presence of a whale nearby. However Haruhi jumped behind Nagato, who is silently reading the book.

  • Haruhi is hinting the answer of the sequenced question with moving near Nagato. btw I feel moe from this behavior of Haruhi...
  • And haruhi bring her finger to the shoulders of Nagato, because she is very near Nagato.
• culture Suzumiya-san
  • correct: Suzumiya-kun
  • high-up students such as the student council president uses "<male/female name>-kun" as very polite attitude, in this case, as a feigned polite one.
• low The talk about a lack of respect in the tone of high school students is indeed true.
  • imifumei
• low The president turned his head and looked at Haruhi after hearing this. “Hmph~”, though it seems he cannot be bothered with that.
  • haruhi turned his head
• culture“It seems we were quite successful. It's perfect, really perfect."
  • an onomatopoeia "tyororon" feeling is missing. "tyoroi" is a colloquial word. This derives from "tyoroi". "tyoroi" means "easy" in English. Does English have the counterpart?
• lowest swung the connector of the extension cable while thinking about the fact that this third year president actually allowed us to borrow their power source just because of this.
  • "just because of this"??? because of the awesomeness of OS made by Nagato? <- this is wrong...
• low

  This guy who entered class 2-9, as if entering the guerilla war, had the entire class of 1-9 enter alongside him.

  correct: This guy who entered class 2-9, as if conveyed with a gondola, had the entire class of 1-9 enter alongside him.

  • "entering the guerilla war" sounds violent and dangerous to me...
  • "ゴンドラ" (which I put into "gondola" literally) can refer two transport. a machine(Aerial tramway?) or a boat.
  • google shows images of both
  • I can't judge the original refers to which of two. But I haven't know the "boat" meanining of "ゴンドラ" until now. :D
  • Also the English sentence indicate Koizumi forced classmates of 1-9 to enter in 2-9, right? this is wrong... the incident resulted from the nature of the x-9 class.
• high an whole paragraph is missing... between "source just because of this." and "I connected the plug to the"
  • corresponding pages in Japanese is 35-36.
• lowest trans.:newpaper, original:Frisbee
• high an whole paragraph is missing... between "...for you would be as free as me." and “Kyon, start playing the DVD now!”
  • corresponding pages in Japanese is 38.
• normal“Like movie trailers. Aren’t they shown in cinemas before the ac
  • wrong: in cinema , correct; in TV CM in movie programs.
• high “The Revenge of Nagato Yuki will open during the spring cultural festival!” that Haruhi screamed at the end?
  • spring->fall
  • usually cultuaral festival is hold in fall in each year.
• normalTaniguchi even talked about how much blood he spilled just to produce his article back then.
  • ple on the director’s table.
  • directors table??? maybe "table in front of Nagato"
• normal"I attempted to concentrate on the story book in front of me as I tried to stop my curiosity from wandering further…" and the last paragraph is enough a mismatch to retranslate it.
