>>167 is most probably just a joke made by a native Japanese speaker, maybe a college student.
The contents of the email are grandiloquently expressed with the excessive use of inflated language
and in reality makes it rather hard to convey the original message written in a straightforward way.
In fact, however, it is well written and hyperbole is sometimes what you have to resort to especially
when you need to stretch a 2 page mediocre paper to a 5 page seemingly important one for school.
In short, someone busy wouldn't want to read that long ass email, but I kinda like it.

I tried translating this. It certainly explains the situation in more detail
than I could ever attempt. And there were a lot of useful vocabulary words
in there! I particularly like the sentence "何卒よろしくお願いします。"
It suits me, somehow.
But one question: how do you translate "よう", when it appears mid-sentence without
"に" or "な"? It looks like a conjunction, but I can't find anything about it in
my dictionaries.
For example, I wasn't sure how to translate the following sentence:
" 予めご了承下さいますよう、お願い申し上げます。"
"Please acknowledge this beforehand (referring to the inability to use Japanese), (very polite) please."
Is that close to the intended meaning?
218:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
09/01/02 11:47:48
>>217
(I'm not >>167.)
I can share your feeling when you see '～よう' and judge it as conjunction.
I think you are right.
>" 予めご了承下さいますよう、お願い申し上げます。"
>"Please acknowledge this beforehand (referring to the inability to use Japanese), (very polite) please."
Your translation is very good.
That's almost same as what is expressed in the original sentense.
'予めご了承下さいますよう、お願い申し上げます。' can be said
'予めご了承下さいますことを、お願い申し上げます。 '.
You can say 'I expect that you acknoledge my innability to use Japanese beforehand', maybe.

220:ベイエリア人 ◆wI.9LiivDc
09/01/02 12:15:34
Is "Dog" not a good name for a dog, then?
How about "Ddog"?
The extra "d" is for "distinguished".
221:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
09/01/02 12:16:14
>>217
(I'm not >>167, either.)
A literal translation may be "I politely ask you to acknowledge this beforehand",
'よう' corresponding to 'to'.
You can add 'に' after 'よう', the meaning, I think, being the same,
but ように sounds redundant here, at least to my ear.
(I have no idea how other Japanese natives feel.)
But you can't add 'な' after 'よう' here, for 'ような' functions in an adjectival way,
as in '今日我々が知っている"ような"言語' 〔language as we know it today〕, denoting
'manner' because ような is 連体形 of ようだ. (What is 連体形 in English?)
The literal translation I presented above may probably sound a little harsh,
so it would be advisable to say,
"I would be most grateful if you could make allowance for this as you read".

Thank you for explaining that to me!
I enjoy trying to translate from Japanese into English, although
I am very slow at it, and I make a lot of mistakes.
Right now, I am reading (very slowly!) a story called "Silence" by Haruki
Murakami. One of my Japanese teachers was a big fan of his work, and
she gave it to me to read. I've been working on it little by little for
a while now. Recently I bought a book called "The Elephant Vanishes", which
is a collection of Murakami's stories translated into English (including "Silence").
It is interesting to compare the story in Japanese to the official English
translation. The translator changed some things, and even added material
to make it sound more natural in English.

I don't want to offend you, but I think above explanation is a bit redundant since it isn't
related to the meanig of the original one.

I suggest a short name, so it's easier for the dog to learn its

for that word.)

連体形 in English is defined as a "participle adjective".

be a verb form (either present or past participle) that is used as
an adjective.

You wouldn't use the preposition "in" after suit, so

About the etymology and structure of "よう of 予めご了承下さいますよう、お願い申し上げます", I studied.
よう seems to the sound of 様, which means so, way , manner, fashion, status and as such.
As for the structure, 予めご了承下さいますよう seem to function as adverb clause
or adverb phrase.
Would "the direct translation" be like "please, stay so(on the condition) that you
acknowlege this beforehand"?
I know it's awkard and couldn't convey the original meaning well.
Few Japanese think what the structure of the sentence is.
Some might think "よう" sounds auxillary verb, よう which
indicates will and determination. We say "英語を勉強してみよう" I will study english.
Maybe these images are complicated in our minds. But there must be the right
answer. I guess the first theory is right linguistically.

よう in 予・・・よう indicates a modality, because what is expressed in 予め・・・よう
is not realized at the time when the speaker (or the writer) makes the utterance
and it is uncertain whether or not it will be realized in the future.
The English equivalent of よう in this particular case, therefore, should be a 'To-Infinitive'
or a 'that (clause) + modal verb', or as >>217 suggested in her translation, an 'imperative
mood'.
As for the structure of the sentence concerned, 予め・・・よう cannot be taken as an adverbial

For me, however, he doesn't seem to be such a bad guy.
He has educated and preached on this thread by many anonimous and native-speakers, so his bad manner

09/01/05 15:18:21
As for Sparky, as someone said he behaves well these days bacause
foreigners here told him to behave and controle himself before
acting like a spammer and troll.
He's something to talk about when there's nothing to talk about.
I mean, some people depend on him in a way as a topic of this thread.
We don't have to mention him when we have nothing to talk about in my
opinion.

Yes, I have heard some pretty... bad things about the English classes on your side of the pond...
If I'm not wrong, North Americans and Brtish people refer to "pond" as Pascific
ocean but in this case, you seem to mean Pacific ocean. Doesn't that
sound odd? It's North America and UK that are located in either sides
of the pond, meaning Atlantic ocean.

You know those generic Japanese ghosts you often see in horror movies?
I'm talking about the ones with the long hair over their faces.
I bet they'd look nice if they wore ponytails instead.
There's no point in looking nice. Ghosts have to look scary.
Hair covering their face is crucial because that stir up the audience's
imagination about how these ghosts look like. Chances are their faces
are distorted with agony or pain or have scars in their faces.
I read another thread but I take it is a fake thread so I post here
instead.
338:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
09/01/05 17:27:41
I'd put the case that "on your side of the pond" is one of the phrase.
then I googled it to define what it is.
As a result, google said it as "on the other side of the pond"
Besides, URLﾘﾝｸ(eow.alc.co.jp)
said it's one of the proverb.
339:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
09/01/05 17:50:19

I also had thought that another thread is a fake one, but this idea is out of date now.
Obviously, both threads are real, or rather another one has more popularity than this one has.
I post on both threads without thinking much now.

Let me correct first.
XIf I'm not wrong, North Americans and Brtish people refer to "pond" as Pascific
ocean but in this case, you seem to mean Pacific ocean.
OIf I'm not wrong, North Americans and Brtish people refer to "pond" as Atlantic
ocean but in this case, you seem to mean Pacific ocean.
対岸の火事 is irrelevant here.
As far as I know, "pond" sometimes means Atlantic ocean.
So when British people say, "on the other side of the pond," or "on your
side of the pond," that means, "in North America" and when American (or Canadian)
says "on the other side of the pond," or " on your side of the pond,"
that means "in UK."
But in >>336, カナダ人 seems to mean Japan by "on your side of the pond."
I just thought when Canadian says "on your side of the pond" that has
to mean "in UK." So I just asked the question to make sure.

351:名無しさん＠英語勉強中

>>348
I'll give you more detaled explanation.
As you know, 2ch has lots of boards and there's one board called
ニュース速報VIP board, which can be translated as "News bulletin VIP"
board.
The title is News bulletin but in reality, there in News bulletin VIP board,
they don't discuss news at all. People there make threads randomly.
They sometimes do stupid things like people in 4chan's /b/ board such as
writing bombardment of comments in a particular blog so that it can't
function.
The call thmselves VIPPER, meaning very important person but some 2channelers
think they are just a crowd of stupid people.

Which mechanisms-convection, conduction, and/or radiation-best describe the following energy transfers?

2)a damp cloth cooling your forehead
3)a spoon warming in a coffee cup

Physics, oh my. Not my strong suit.
conduction--transfer of heat via direct contact of particles of matter
convection--transfer of heat via movement of a heated fluid
radiation--transfer of heat energy through an empty space
So, I would guess:
1) convection
2) conduction
3) conduction (but I'm not 100% sure)
4) radiation

if the question is written in English I found it really hard to

Somehow I understand what the word conduction means in Japanese and
I can guess the other two, the other ways of transfering heat.

answered right.

We sure learn the three ways of heat transfer in elementary school.
I don't mean we learn complicated calculation of how much calories are
tranfered and all at elementary school, though. We just learn there are three ways of heat transfer
and each of the names, 伝導(conduction)対流（convection）and 放射（radiation)
and examples of wash of them.

364:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
09/01/06 17:23:10
>>363
I never thought about the differences between Cathoric and Protestant
or other fractions of Christanity in my daily life. All I know is Cathoric
people call a gathering at church "mass," while protestant people don't.
Other stuff I know is, Cathoric people are the origine of Christianity and
Protestant came later and was prosecuted and moved to New continent now called
America on Mayflower.
So what features of the characters in Japanese media makes you think
they are Cathoric? Maybe outfit?

To >>999 of the last thread,
I too think it's interesting. Apparently that's where even native speakers may get tripped up!
But my understanding is that a language is defined by actual usage, not by linguists.
So I think we don't need care too much about the "proper" grammar. What we speak is the actual, living language.
367:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
09/01/06 21:52:29
>>998(in another thread)
OK, I understand that the usage of 'country' is essential point, with regard to the my question.
Thanks a lot!
Then, do you think the following sentense is correct in terms of the usage of 'the'?
Generally speaking, people living in 'the' urban area long for the way of life in the country ?
368:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
09/01/06 22:17:58
>>367
I'd say "in urban areas" if the sentence means 都会人ってのは田舎の暮らしに憧れるもんさ。
But the urban area, the urban areas, an urban area are all grammatically correct.
Probably the meaning follows the general rule I described.
The point is the noun "area" also has various meanings and their usages can vary,
so articles (and whether it's singular or plural) depend on what you mean by "area."
Where's a native speaker!?

"Mass" is actually the name of a specific rite, not just any gathering.
Differences between Roman Catholics and other sorts of Christians?
Le me see what I can come up with off the top of my head...
I may get some facts wrong, but I'll do my best to be accurate.
Roman Catholics consider the Pope in Vatican City their leader.
They believe that a person must be baptized to enter heaven.
"Confessions" (the admitting of sins, taking place in a small booth) is primarily associated with Roman Catholics.
It is mostly pre-Reformation forms of Christianity that have nuns.
Roman Catholics are more likely to cross themselves.

We don't know anything about Christianity, and Catholic just sounds cool and hawt. Thats why. I think.
About the only thing I and most of Japanese people know about Christniy is Jesus. He got burned
on a cross and revived himself in a blazing rage. Moses used magic to split a river and killed the Egyptian
Army. Then after the river got back to normal, Jesus turned the water into wine and walked on it.
Then he had a dinner with his men and Brutus betrayed him and poisoned the food and Jesus died again.

(1)Someone/Something -ga somewhere-ni iru/aru.

Normally we have two 45 minute multiple choice tests in class before our official final.
One is more heavily reading comprehension based while the other is straight grammar/vocabulary.

Those 3 formulas consist the subject and the predicate, each representing existence, function and state.
(1)Someone/Something -ga somewhere-ni ari-masu.
(2)Someone/Something -ga somehow-shi masu.
(3)Someone/Something -wa somehow-de ari-masu.
These are how you add axiliaries to the subject and the predicate.
Do you know the formulas?

(1)Someone/Something -ga somewhere-ni aru-de-aro-u.
(2)Someone/Something -wa somehow-shuru ni chigai-nai-de-aro-u.
(3)Someone/Something -wa somehow-de aru-ka-mo-shire-nu.
These are how some axiliaries are added?
Are these fascinating?
453:片岡数吉 ◆WBVlJkFAFk
09/01/07 13:42:12
Someone/Something -ga somewhere-ni aru-no-de, someone/something -wa somehow-shuru koto-ga-dekiru.
Someone/Something -wa somehow-de aru-kere-do-mo, someone/something -wa somehow-shuru.
Thus, adding auxilliaries can directly lead to another clause, making the earlier clause the subbordinate clause.
Isn't this Japanese grammar wnderful?
It is also wonderous because it have been given me by Christ the Lord.

Hmmm. Well it's all interlinked right? I'd say writing/speaking on the fly

The [ alleged ], but now generally [ discounted ],

has become a self-[ fulfilling ] prophecy,

People across the world now overwhelmingly believe
[ that the Iraq war has increased the likelihood of terrorist attacks worldwide.
[ If extended to Iran ], the implications of intervention would be disastrous.
It was hoped by the planners in Washington and London
[ that the removal of Saddam Hussein and the [ spreading [ of democracy to Iraq ] ] would eventually vindicate their policy of pre-emption ].
However, it has become clear
that ‘democracy’ in this instance actually means the privatisation of state-run industries, plus elections.
The US policy of detention without trial of “unlawful combatants” in Guantanamo Bay;
the [ widespread ] and deliberate [ bombing ] of civilian infrastructure in Afghanistan and Iraq;

Hugging people of either gender because they're your friends is only common
among teenage girls and very young children.
My 14 year old son went to a town event before Christmas, and was quite
surprised when some girls from his class (not close friends) walked up to him and hugged him
out of the blue. I told him not to read too much into it, since they were probably only
friendly hugs.
Women who are 20+ usually only hug really close friends or family that they haven't seen
in a long time, and most men of any age don't show affection in public like that.
At least this is how is in the Northeast. But we have the reputation of being
cold and unfriendly. In other parts of the country, it might be different.

It was foolish for me to visit such thread as made me feel so unpleasant.
Then I was firmly determined to stay away from that.

My 14 year old son went to a town event before Christmas, and was quite
surprised when some girls from his class (not close friends) walked up to him and hugged him
out of the blue. I told him not to read too much into it, since they were probably only
friendly hugs.

LOL it shows how indiscriminate hugs to all genders with all ages
is ridiculous.

I heard German Americans are the biggest population in White Americans.
But German is not associated with freindly hug as long as my image of
German goes.

Germans aren't defined by the country they are from.
You are just as likely to meet a friendly German, as you are a cold German.
But there's no doubt that many people have an idea in their head that Germans are very rigid and calculating.

That's nearly what I have the image of.
However I think your comments are beside the point a bit.
I am saying how hugging culture in Germany is.
I just thought the mass of people from an distinctive area might effect
the cultural custom of where they immigrated.
So how big is hugging in Germany?

You're right, I jumped to conclusions. Sorry about that, I thought you were saying that Germans tend to be less friendly in general.
My mistake.
I'm not sure how prevalent hugging is in Germany, but I have a German friend who is fairly affectionate. I have seen her hugging others.
But that is just one example.

It could be a misconception that North Americans are the most hug loving
people.
There is no ground. Just an image.
Italians seem to love hugging. I don't have statistic date though.
In general is it can be said (North) Americans do more hugs than
average Enropeans?

What do you mean? Are you asking if hugging is seen as an act of sexuality?
If that's your question, than yes, in certain cases. My girlfriend would hug me often before we ever actually "got together", and I did see it as a sexual thing.
It all depends on the context and assumptions, though. Random hugging (and sometimes even kissing) have become so common that it's hard to tell.
For example, a male teacher hugging a female student is almost exceptable now, because it is nearly meaningless.
496:加奈陀人

From what I know, hugging is a much more integral part of Italian culture than it is North American culture.
Personally, I am taken aback if people I don't know well hug me, and even if I do know them I am apprehensive. And I think that feeling is still fairly widespread.
My Italian friends tell me stories about how their Italian relatives kiss them and hug them, so I THINK it's more common, at least in Italy.

I can't really say, but I'm sure there are quite a few people who are like that. Many people act one way on the outside, but on the inside are thinking of nothing but sex.
Of course, this isn't anything new.
Lol, yes, I will marry her before going any further, of course. I will be a happily married 17 year old. I plan to have twelve children.
And I will keep an eye out for the sturdy Korean man.

Most times the female students will enter the classroom and request a hug. And it isn't enitirely non-taboo, if parents and school faculty find out the teacher is usually scolded or watched closely.
But I'm only talking from my own experience, and from what I have seen myself. I personally thought nothing of it - a quick hug at the request of the female student.
Thinking back on it, though, I find myself questioning the teacher's intentions...

I have only been to America twice, so I can't really say for certain.
But Canada is know for it's multiculturalism, and is very accepting of many cultures.
I do live in a white area, but there are actually a lot of Muslims moving in around here, as well as Filipinos.

Man, I wish I saved an early post where I talked about this.
Within my circle of friends, it's not uncommon to see hugging between guys
or girls. It's really no big deal. Obviously we don't sit there holding each other for
hours, but it's more like a bear hug. As 加奈陀人 said, hugging can be flirtatious if
the people hugging haven't known each other for long.
When we had Japanese exchange students come to our school I think they were surprised by it.
Also, when we went to Japan they sometimes thought we were doing a lot of flirting by hugging.
If I hugged a girl who's a good friend they asked, "Oh do you like [name]?" and if I hugged
a guy they asked, "Are you gay?" It was pretty funny for the Americans though.

Wow, thank you for all your responses.
According to your all posts, hugging appears to be widely accepted in not only the U.S but also Canada and Italy.
Well, I think that for shy people the hugging culture would be a quite tough convention.
If I WERE hugged in front of a lot of classmates, my face would blush immediately.

what all this talk about hugging being common in the USA?
yes there is such a thing as a friendly hug, but don't get the image that we run around hugging each other.
Personal space in this nation is about one arms length away from a person.
it is best not to violate this.
it also seems that females can hug other females that they know and are friendly with, but when males hug other males it's seen as gay.

Fun fact though, Of Montreal is actually from Athens, Georgia.
