Literal translation
2007.09.01 3:44

Literal translation doesn't work.English term 'Good morning' is literally means 'yoi -good, asa -morning'But nobody here understand if someone say 'yoi asa', which literally means 'good morning'Instead we use the term 'Ohayo' which literally means 'It's early'But nobody in America would understand if one of them said 'It's early' instead of saying 'Good morning'Translation requires meaning to meaning, not word to word.I feel it's derisive when someone insist some translation is accurate because it's word to word.

He is completely sane.What makes him nervous was the decision of Sumo association that prohibited his playing two consecutive series. It was Sumo association that made him sick.

One recorded in Oga peninsula was like a rolling sphere of light, and the other taken in Yokohama was like a stingray swimming in the sky and the size of the shape changed one to five times bigger. I recall the shape of Seraph's flying.
