IS: Outstanding Translation Questions
Any assistance in interpreting the below lines would be greatly appreciated. Segments in contain the content in question.
Line 55: However, since I said it, as a guy, I can't get out of it. 'And the most important thing is that once I form a crack here, I have to face this awkward environment again'
Line 111: Thanks to a year of cramming, I was designated a grade A student. As usual, I went about taking exams, and as usual, I was accepted as per normal, so I wasn't nervous when I walked into the examinations area. Though I knew the name of the examination facility, I didn't exactly know the location, and such a normal public facility has many functions. Though it is rare for a private firm to borrow from the public sector, 'those are all regional enterprises, and many obey it exclusively.'
Line 113: Not good, I'm lost. Speaking of which, why must this facility be constructed in such a confusing manner? 'Seems like it was constructed by some designer with a rather good background. Also, that person should be born from some localized industry.'
Line 201: DANG~! Several girls collapsed onto the floor. What were they expecting from me? 'Stop spouting nonsense.'
Line Unknown: "Ah~ Great. I really wanted to 'switch him over'." <!-- bnns: what does this line even mean? -->
Line Unknown: A certain country 'A' <!-- BNNS: not sure which country is 'A'. -->is really a rogue.
Line ~320: Incidentally, while the IS institute is a profit-earning business, 'there is also education about IS, that make up the daily courses'. <!-- bnns: while it's a business they still teach isn't that what they finished saying up until now that it's a school for training IS pilots this is the first we've heard that it's a business? Is this irony or sarcasm? -->
Line 359: By the way, even though the IS Academy is the world's only specialized IS school, 'a lot of schools with the intention of sending students'<!--bnns: hasn't explained why they have they have the intention of 'sending' does it mean advance?-->, enter the IS study program, so they can enter advanced studies.
IS: Questions' Answers
Line 53: "Re-really? Really? Really? Ok, 'yo-you said it, so you better do it!'" - This line is in response to the line before it but it doesn't make much sense as a whole... (line before: "No, there's no need to apologize... besides, it's just a self-introduction, so please calm down, sensei.")
Answer 53: "Re-Really? Really? Really? 'Yo-You said it, so you better do it properly, okay?!'" Zero2001 - Talk - 02:24, 24 May 2012 (CDT)
And these questions are better suited to be on the chapter's talk page. Zero2001 - Talk - 02:24, 24 May 2012 (CDT)
Thnx Zero2001, for the answer for line 53. that will definitely help the flow. As per your suggestion, i was thinking that it'd probably be better if i moved it, just a little while ago... I'll do it in the morning. bnns - Talk 02:35, 24 May 2012 (CDT)
Maybe I'm nitpicking but...
When Cecilia first speaks with Ichika, there is this line: "She pointed her thumb at me, her fingertips nearly touching the tip of my nose." Shouldn't we replace "thumb" by finger ? I feel it doesn't sound right like that.
Before Teh_ping comes in and start asking, I'll like to ask, what's with the rewrites?--Watahashi Kazuyoei (talk) 23:05, 14 December 2012 (CST)
