#translation practice

Hoy estudié vocabulario de inglés y español porque no quiere escribir un email. Escribiando es muy difícil...

For you I used half a year's savings

To cross the seas to see you

为了这次相遇 我连见面时的呼吸都曾反复练习

For this reunion

I've even repeatedly rehearsed how to breathe at our meeting

言语从来没能将我的情意表达千万分之一

Words have never been able to convey even a millionth part of my feelings

为了这个遗憾 我在夜里想了又想 不肯睡去

Because of this regret, I toss and turn nightly, unable to fall asleep

记忆它总是慢慢的累积 在我心中无法抹去

Memories accumulate in my heart, unable to be erased

为了你的承诺 我在最绝望的时候 都忍住不哭泣

For your promise, even in the depths of my greatest despair, I refrain from crying

陌生的城市啊 熟悉的角落里

An unfamiliar city with well-known corners

也曾彼此安慰 也曾相拥叹息

We once consoled each other, and once embraced and sighed

不管将会面对什么样的结局

Regardless of the ending we were to face

在漫天风沙里 望着你远去

As dust and wind whip up and I watch you depart

我竟悲伤的不能自己

My grief overwhelms me

多盼能送君千里 直到山穷水尽

How I wish to bear you company for another ten thousand miles, until the very ends of the world

一生和你相依

甜蜜蜜 Sweet as honey 你笑得甜蜜蜜 Your smile is as honey 好像花儿开在春风里 Blooming like a flower in the spring 开在春风里 Blooming in the breeze 1

在那里，在那里见过你 That special place, I've seen you there before 2 你的笑容这样熟悉 Your smile brings such a familiarity 我一时想不起 For just an hour I don't want to go 3 阿，在梦里 Ah, in a dream

梦里，梦里见过你 Dreaming, dreaming I met with you 甜蜜，笑得多甜蜜 Honey, your smile's still more sweet 是你，是你 It's you, it's you 梦见的就是你 I only dream of you

在那里，在那里见过你 Where will we, where will we meet again 你的笑容这样人熟悉 Your smile contains such familiarity 我一时想不起 For just an hour I don't want to go 阿，在梦里 Ah, in a dream

[repeat]

Translator's notes: so for this translation i wanted to focus on singability and so the direct accuracy of the translation has taken a backseat

1: A direct translation of the last two lines of the first verse would be more like [Your smile] is like a flower blooming in the spring breeze Blooming in the spring breeze however this impacted the tempo of the song in a way i didnt like

2: This line should read more like In that place, in that place [I] have seen you but for the previously mentioned reasons I decided to change it

The skies laugh, watching the flow of history on earth. Only heaven knows who will attain victory or suffer losses.

The rivers and the mountains laugh, echoing through the distant mists and rains. The tides ebb and flow; how much of this world's trivial affairs do we understand?

The clear winds laugh, stirring up loneliness. When great and chivalry are faded and gone, all that remains is memory.

Like a tear relying on a cheek

You are like an angel

For me to rely on

For me to draw strength from

Like poets reliant on the moon

Like dolphins reliant on the ocean

You are an angel

You are the angel

☆Kou and Mamoru’s Fried Egg☆

Mamo: Kou-kun! I’ve finally managed to make a fried egg without breaking the yolk recently!

Kou: That’s amazing, Mamoru!

Mamo: By the way, I can’t control the doneness when I cook it, so it’s up to the chef’s choice whether it’s well-done or soft-boiled.

Kou: That means we get to enjoy a unique taste each time, right?

Ken: You’re really good at giving compliments.

(part 2 of fried egg)

Mamo: So, I dedicate this to Kou-kun, who always makes us delicious meals! It’s the Mamoru’s Special Fried Egg 🍳!

🍳 (Sizzle)

Kou: Thank you. I’ll savor it carefully

(Crunch)

Ryou (thinking): Did that just crunch…?

Ken (thinking): There’s eggshell in it…

Kou: Haha, it's packed with calcium.

☆Bit by Bit☆

Nozomu: I dropped my phone! The glass protective film on the screen got chipped! The cracks on the film are gradually getting bigger~ (´-﹏-`；)."

Ren: That’s serious… It’s kind of like our relationship, isn’t it?

Nozomu: Huh?

Ren: Sorry, I was just joking. The novel I was reading had a scene like that (laugh).
