Nowadays seldom (rarely) do we see children playing in a street or a park. How much did it cost you to have this washing machine fixed?
I saw to it that I said nothing to offend them. Taking a note will help you remember what the teacher said later. >>8

Thank you for your advice, but I knew such a thing from the begining. タイトル名 神さまとのおしゃべり
あなたの常識は誰かの非常識
ーそれは、ある日突然起こった。
怪しい声 「幸せになりたいんだろう？」
みつろう「うおっ！！ なんか、声が聞こえる！！」
The tbook title " Chat with God"
Your common sense can be thought of as lack of common sense by someone else.
-It suddenly happened one day/
A suspicious voice :" you want to be happy, aren't you?"
Mituro : " Wow!! Somehow, a voice came to my ears!! " Please correct my English translation above. Correction
the book title
You want to be happy, don't you? >>13
Don't you think it would be better to omit whatever you can do to write better English? >>14
最初から違うよ。
The Chat with God
特定の会話だからtheがいる。
優良の添削会社でイギリス人の指導を受けた方がいいね。 ノンネイティブにいくら習っても冠詞は分かるようにならないね。 Yeah, I don't think so.
If anything, I'd like to compose " formal" sentences as much as possible. >>21
Could you please tell me the difference in nuance between the two sentences below?
A. It began to snow twenty minutes after we had arrived at school.
B. It began to snow twenty minutes after we arrived at school.
ネイティブの回答
There's not much nuance. The past perfect (had arrived) is used for an event that happened before another event in the past. But people don't use it much in speaking. It's mostly used in very formal, academic writing, which is not what your sentence is.
やっぱりこの場合はIt began to snow twenty minutes after we arrived at school. の方がnaturalみたいだね。
早く俺に追いつくといいね。頑張れ。 ニュアンスとかネィティブじゃないと分からん。独学じゃ無理。 >>23
It doesn't matter to me at all whether it is natural or not because I'm not a native speaker of English.
It's all right with me if only I make myself understood. ーできごとから、さかのぼること約一年前。
主人公のみつろうは、ごくごく普通のサラリーマンで、会社勤めの二児のパパ。
下の子が生まれたばかりの彼は、赤ちゃんの夜泣きによる寝不足のため、会社で何度かのミスを重ねた。
見かねた上司が、「心を落ち着かせない」と彼にすすめたのが瞑想だった。
なにかを長続きさせたことなんてこれまでの人生で一度もなかった彼だが、なぜだか瞑想だけは毎日かかさなかった。 >>26
If so, you don't have to write in a formal style.
You're contradicting yourself.
That's just sour grapes. この程度の矛盾に気づかないんじゃよほど数学が苦手なんだろうね。 >>28 Oh, come on! Please leave me alone!
You see, I just come up with such an excuse on the spot because I wanted you not to butt into my affairs. ーabout a year before the event occured
Mitsuro, the protaginist, was an ordinary office worker and a fater of two children.
Just having a newborn baby, he made several mistakes at work because of lack of spleep derived from the baby crying at night.
It was meditation that his boss, who wanted to let him change his situation, recommended to him, saying, " Get yourself together."
He, who had given up anything so easily in his life, somehow continued meditation on a daily basis. Someone, please correct my translation! If this thread was built by you, I'll look for another one suitable for what I want to do. そして運命の日はやって来る。
瞑想のため、いつも通りに早起きをして、妻や子供を起こさないように
こっそりと寝室を抜け出したみつろう。
リビングへと向かい、床にあぐらをかいてしっかりと目をとじた。 And then, the day of destiny comes.
Mitsuro got up early as usual to do meditation.
He sneaked out of the bed room not to wake up his wife and children.
Heading for the living room, he sat with his legs crossed on the floor and closed his eyes tightly. >>14
Not much wrong with your corrections, but "wow" might not be the best interjection in this situation.
If I started to hear phantom voices there would be thoughts of confusion and bewilderment, and "wow" doesn't really fit those descriptions.
Probably something like "Huh?!" or "What!?" would fit better. Along with this, the phrase after "wow" wouldn't really be uttered by anyone.
Even though what you've translated is correct an English speaker would probably say something along the lines of "who's there?" or "is someone there?" >>31
>Mitsuro, the protaginist, was...
Kind of a stylistic choice but usually you wouldn't explicitly state that someone was a protagonist; especially in this case, where he's the first named character in this story.
>Just having a newborn baby, he made several mistakes at work because of lack of spleep derived from the baby crying at night.
Correct in the literal sense (minus the spelling mistakes), but it feels awkward and a little unnatural. I would rewrite it as:
With the birth of his newest child and the crying that comes with it, Mitsuro has been losing sleep and started making mistakes at work.
>It was meditation that his boss, who wanted to let him change his situation, recommended to him, saying, " Get yourself together."
Same as above; I would translate as:
"Unwilling to just watch Mitsuro's degrading performance, his boss told him to get a hold of himself and try meditating."
>He, who had given up anything so easily in his life, somehow continued meditation on a daily basis.
This one had me confused until I read the Japanese. The subordinate clause doesn't really fit with the rest of the sentence (also, "anything" should be "everything" there).
I would translate it as:
"Mitsuro, despite not being one to pick up habits, ultimately ended up meditating on a daily basis." >>36
The best so far; only really minor things like not starting a sentence with "and" and moving "heading for the living room" to the previous sentence
(the way you have it now sounds like he sat with his legs crossed as a means to head towards the living room).
"...wake up his wife and children and headed for the living room."
"He sat with his legs..." >>39
I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
In return for what you've done for me, I'll devote myself to studying Englsih harder.
I swear it! （これ以後５ページほど漫画形式になっていますので、ふきだしのセリフを掲載します。）
「幸せになりたいんだろう？」
「うおっ！！ え？ なにこれ....? ついに俺は頭がイカれちまったか？？」
「なんなんだこの声は？？ 頭の中から湧いてくるぞ！？」
「幸せになりたいんだろう？ 手伝ってやろうか？」
「けっこうです。帰ってください！このままじゃ僕、病院に送られちゃう！！」
「悩みはなにかないか？ ワシならそれを解決できるぞ」
「悩みなんてねーよ！ あるとすれば、あんたの声が聞こえることくらいじゃい！！
だから、あんたがいなくなれば、たしかに解決できるね！！」
「別の悩みを聞こうか」 ( After this, the story develops in the form of manga, so I'll pick out only dialogues between the two in ballooons)
" You want to be happy, don't you?"
" Huh?! What? What the hell is this?....? At last, I've gone mad??"
" I wonder what this voice is?? It is springing up from within my head."
" You want to be happy? Do you want me to help you?"
" No thanks. Leave me alone! If this goes on, I'll be forced to go to a mental hospital."
" Don't you have any problems? I can solve them."
" No problems! If any, it is only your voice!! So if you vanish, it can be solved, for sure!! "
" I'll listen to you about another one." correction
in the form of manga over five pages Concerning the forth line, I didn't know which is better, the indicative or the subjunctive mood.
If this goes on, I'll be forced to go to a mental hospital (the indicative)
If this went on, I would be forced to go to a mental hospital ( the subjunctive) What a careless person I am! It was the fifth line! >>41

Thank you for your compliment. Your continued commitment to English learning
has always inspired me. Earlier today I found this thread and I thought you're the
main contributor to it. And I wanted to pitch in to show my respect to you.
I'm sure you're the one who's always been making "English compositions"
in the thread called "スレッドを立てるまでもない質問スレッド." >>50
Your guess is right, but I wonder how you knew that?
I'm the guy who posted " English compositions" in that thread on a regular basis.
If you had no clue and just took a shot in the dark, I have no choice but to say that you have the good sixth sense. lol
Frankly, since I faced a barrage of criticism whenever I posted them, I've decided to look for another place where I can enjoy myself.
This is my utopia I found a few weeks ago. lol
By the way,I can also guess who you are because it is only one person I can come up with who has such a good command of English.
If my guess is correct, I think the book I'm converting English now is useful for you.
I >>51
How did I identify you? Well, I could easily identify you because there are very,
very few people courageous and motivated enough to contribute so many
posts in English as you have been doing. I, too, am one of such rare guys, so
I know how you've been feeling and how much you enjoy this utopia here.
I think I'll stick around here in this thread too and continue to communicate
with you. I don't like lazy people. I like diligent people like you. >>35

Heading for the living room, he sat cross-legged on the floor and shut his eyes tight. ★You may begin sentences with BUT and AND,★ as in "And then he said...."
★"Don't begin sentences with BUT or AND" is a myth.★ It's a myth that
stupid teachers both in the English-speaking world and nonnative countries
have long been spreading. Most of the so-called authorities in Japan
still stick to it. It's quite disgusting.

" Well, you got a point. Despite being sleepy,I sit in zen meditation every morning.
That's because I have a desire that "I want to be better off than others." "

(16) だから、さっさと教えて、その方法」
So, tell me how to do it. >>65
>>the enlightment you've got from medutation in the real world.
I guess what you actually mean is "enlightENment" and "medItation." Yeah, I have a bad habit of not making sure of spelling mistakes before posting.
I feel like I want to attribute some of them to my pronunciation of words.
I tend to omit "n" from certaion words such as goverNment or enviroNment when pronouncing them, so that
maybe enlightenment belongs to that group for me.
By the way, to what extent do you think I can trust your English?
I admit that you have far better command of English than me, but I know you are not a native speaker.
Why I ask you such a rude thing is that I often copy the writings of native speakers by hand to have their expressions under my belt.
Do you understand what I am getting at? To be blunt, I'm afraid of memorizing erroneous or awkward English expressions. You've already made it clear, as well as I have, that I'm not a native speaker.
And if you don't think you can trust my English, you don't have to memorize
any word or expression that I happen to use. In fact, no one can prove
how trustworthy their English is, whether native or nonnative.
We can't even trust English native speakers for that. I myself
don't trust anyone who happens to write anything on the Internet,
not even in published books that seem to be legitimate.
You know very well even seemingly authoritative books make mistakes.
So, if I were you, I don't trust anything or anybody 100 percent.
All I trust is what I've proved to be true only after making sure that
at least several books that seem authoritative prove it's true.
When I learn any English words or expressions, I only learn them
from books published by authoritative publishers and written by
authoritative writers. Whenever I find anything on Twitter, YouTube,
2-channel, or elsewhere, I read it and put it to memory on a temporary
basis only. Then, only after having proved the trustworthiness of
each such thing that I happened to find on the Internet or in books
that I can't prove to be authoritative, I memorize it on a permanent basis.
But I don't even trust such seemingly authoritative information 100 percent.
This world is a jungle. No one is 100 percent right. Even Harvard professors
may make mistakes.
On 2-channel, some commentators read like native speakers. But
how far can you trust them? Can you prove that they're always saying
the right thing? For example, many native speakers, not only Japanese
teachers, assert that it's wrong to start sentences with such conjunctions
as "but" or "and." But that assertion is totally wrong. It's a stupid myth.
I've proved it here in this thread, as well as elsewhere. >>71
CORRIGENDA:
WRONG:
So, if I were you, I ★don't★ trust anything or anybody 100 percent.
CORRECT:
So, if I were you, I ★wouldn't★ trust anything or anybody 100 percent. So, to be totally frank and even blunt with you, asking anybody whether
their English is trustworthy enough for you to memorize is asking too much.
You're being like a baby or an overindulgent adolescent. You know very well
that if you want to learn anything reliable, you have to make sure that your
sources are 100 percent (or at least 98 percent) trustworthy.
And you're asking me if I am a trustworthy source. But how can I prove that?
Even if I present tons of evident that shows my English is trustworthy, which
is actually not true, no one can be sure that it is. Then, do you think you
can trust Harvard professors are writing correct English? You can't be sure
of that either. So, what you have to do is NOT to ask anyone whether their
English is trustworthy, BUT to make sure with your own effort that
whatever source you may be using is satisfactory to you.
In a word, to prove that anyone's English, or any information that they are
providing for that matter, is trustworthy is not their responsibility, but yours.
It's YOU who are to prove that any such information is trustworthy to you,
not THEM. So, in a word again, when you learn anything, you've got to be
self-reliant. You can't depend on anybody else. >>72
WRONG:
You're being like a baby or ★an overindulgent★ adolescent. You know very well

You're being like a baby or a ★self-indulgent★ adolescent. You know very well >>72

>I've proved it here in this thread, as well as elsewhere.
Starting a sentence with "and," "but," or any of the other coordinating conjunctions is pretty much entirely a stylistic thing.
In spoken English there isn't any difference between starting a sentence with a conjunction or making said sentence the second part of a compound sentence.
Like most stylistic things in English, you are going to find people for or against whatever it is you're looking to confirm as
style isn't connected to English grammar in the same way as subject-verb agreement is, so native English speakers have no innate understanding of what is or isn't the right way
(they are both right as they're indistinguichable from one another grammatically).
The point I'm getting at is that when it comes to stylistic things of English writing you can't really trust anyone but your style guide (you, your boss, your editor; etc.), but,
for actual grammar, a single native speaker will suffice as long as you can trust them to not lie and the English dialect you're learning is the same as the native's.
Also make sure not to confuse grammar for spelling or word use as homophones and eggcorns will especially affect native speakers. Are you angry while foaming at the mouth? If so, I might push your buttons. lol
Basically, I don't agree to your opinion. It seems to me that you go to extremes in your argument.
In my view, Learning something can be compared to a voyage. You need to equip a compass with your ship
in order to reach your destination safe and sound.
In the course of learning, there are verious stages, such as elementary, intermediate, and advanced one.
When you are in the elementary course, It is the royal road to success that You imitate good examples as if a monkey imitate them without thinking anything.
For example, like a person who wants be to a calligrapher bends over backwards to imitate good specimens as they are.
Anyway, I'll take your advice when I reach to the same advanced level as you. Naturally everyone imitates good examples to improve their English.
I quite agree to that. But what I've always been doing is not to
try to learn from casually written texts here and there, such as
from 2-channel or Twitter, but to learn from highly-reputed
well-written novels, essays, newspapers, and other documents
from reliable sources. If you have already read a substantial
amount of writing in such seemingly reliable sources, you will
find it rather easy to identify good writing that you may find
even on 2-channel and other casual sources. So, if you asked me whether my English is trustworthy early on, it's precisely
because you still don't have the means to identify well-written English.
Why don't you have the means? It is because you still haven't read
enough in novels, essays, newspapers, magazines, and other documents
written by highly-reputed native speaker authors.
If you want to improve your English, don't hesitate to read at least
a few hundreds of paperbacks first. (Here I assume that these paperbacks
contains 300 pages each. I'm not talking about books full of pictures, like
children's picture books.)
Read all kinds of writing, including science,
history, literature (whether modern or classical), philosophy, art, politics,
economics, entertainment, porn, fairy tales, classical literature, poetry,
and so on and so forth. Only after that will you be able to know
which writer (whether professional, amateur, native, or nonnative)
writes good enough English. There's absolutely no way other than that. By the way, when I recommend they read a few hundreds of books in English,
some of they stupidly say, "But I don't think reading so many books without
understanding them works so well."
Of course, you've got to understand what you're reading. Reading means
understanding and enjoying what you're reading. Scanning the text
without understanding it is not "reading." Why do I have to say the obvious?
Some of them also say, "but you can't learn enough from what you read
if you don't know enough grammar."
Of course you've got to know enough grammar. Grammar comes first.
You've definitely got to know at least 95% of the intermediate grammar
before you attempt to read anything. Otherwise, you won't learn anything
from what you read from extensive reading.
Some people are definitely idiots. They have to be told the obvious
that even complete scum knows. Needless to say, it differs from person to person what for they learn English.
But I assume most of them study it for the purpose of communicating with other people worldwide.
So, speaking skills may be the most important ability they think much of.
I personally think those who are eager to improve only communication skills will never give ear to your preach. lol
It does not matter to them how much they are abundant in English vocabulary.
It's all right with them as long as they make themselves understood even though their vocabulary is poor.
If you are hardly convinced to my argument, take a look at native speakers of English.
Their vocabulary also veries, ranging from several thousand to five-degit number.
In short, they are only interested in how they can acquire speaking skills effectively.
For this reason, they are eager to memorize basic sentence patterns while repeating the same sentence again and again.
And I'm for their strategy to some degree because I think it is a rational way to acquring speaking ability effectively.
What you insist on may be right , the royal road to learning in the long run.
But I think your method is suitable for only educated people like you.
It may be a torture for some people(You may call them idiots) who hate sitting in front of their desk for so long.
There is a saying that says " so many men, so many minds."
So let me make a pun in line with it. So many men, so many means!! Nobody in this thread has been talking about vocabulary at all.
You seem to have difficulty in understanding others.
However carefully, kindly, and much in detail in quite plain English
I may explain every single thing to you, as if you were a five-year-old,
you just don't seem to understand my point.
Okay, I give up. I'll never talk to you -- ever again. I've wasted my breath. I'd appreciate it a lot if you would never visit here.
> if you want to improve your English, don't hesitate to read at least a few handreds of paperbacks.
If ordinary people who have common sense read this comment, they will definitely interpret it as follows;
" You should learn a lot of English words and phrases as many as possible"

「 お、教えてください、神さま」
（ 「あっという間に幸せになれる授業」と黒板杖に書かれたタイトルを杖で指し示しつつ）
「よしじゃあ、始めようか、みつろう君。あっという間に幸せになれる授業を」
こうしてみつろうの日常に、怪しさMAXの神さまによるマンツ―マンの授業が加わることになった。
その教えが、多くの人の人生を劇的に変える「宝の山のような教え」であることを、
主人公のみつろうはこの時点では、全くしるよしもなく．．．。 " Hey, you forgot saying, " please!" Watch your language!"
"Please let me know, God."
"Indicating with his walking stick the theme " lessons for you to become happy soon" written on the blackboard)
" Then , let's get started, Mitsuro. Lessons for you to become happy soon!"
In this way, way too suspicious private lessons by god were added to the daily lives of Mitsuro.
Never ever had Mitsuro no clues at that point that the teachings were " the ones likened to a gold mine", with which many people
could possibly change their lives dramatically. 課題
