Can bookgays tell me if these mistranslations are a product of Blackthorne or Mariko having a poor grasp of Portugeuse, or is Mariko mistranslating entirely on purpose?
not in the books, but from a behind the screens stuff: yes, she absolutely mistranslates things for reasons. just as she mistranslated everything with Buntaro-Anjin drunken scene.
also watch that and the "not if i win" scene from the 80's show, totally different vibe.
It's a combination of their cultures being unaligned and it being on purpose. Often Blackthorne will explain something in a lot of words, Mariko doesn't get why all those words are there, so she abbreviates.
It's like when she's talking about the eightfold fence and if Blackthorne translates that as "oh, so you're introverted".
It's been a long time, but as I recall it's just her nature and Japaneseness way of saying things with more polite vague implications. To a degree I think she also tries to protect Anjin from coming off too rude to superiors that would kill him for it. She does deliberately twist words to the maximum amount possible without outright lying whenever Anjin starts trying to convince Toranaga he should be enemies with the Catholic Church and Portuguese. But that's mostly before they fall in love.
Father Alvito, the Jesuit, in contrast translates everything he says word for word live no matter how much he blasphemes, because he's more of an intellectual STEMlord or something I guess. But he's not always around so Mariko provides "living translation" instead, until he learns Japanese himself.
you realize europe still has roads right? you can just have good public transportation on top of that so you dont have to be a good goy for big auto
you must buy the gas
you must buy the insurance
you must have the parking space
you must have the registration
you must have the license and get fingerprinted
you must pay for the oil changes
you must pay for repairs
you must pay for the car and high interest rates
you must pay out of taxes for the highway cops who can pull you over and harass you, and because of the second amendment, cops are trigger happy schizos so if you make one false move they get to shoot you and you deserve it
FREEDOM!
FREEDOM!
FREEDOM!
I LOVE spending hundreds of dollars a month to spend hours in traffic instead of just taking public transit for a fraction of the time and cost. I HATE the idea of everything I need within a 15 minute walk.
jap translators in movies usually have some kind of crippling mental defect where they think they're more like diplomats rather than translation monkies.
>ask him if japanese single women not shaving their pussy is really just a subtile mechanism meant to determine the last time they were in a serious relationship >anji congratulates japanese women on their virtue
>ask him if japanese single women not shaving their pussy is really just a subtile mechanism meant to determine the last time they were in a serious relationship
what
japanese single women grow a bush and when they enter a serious relationship them shaving it is a sign of committment to you. so if you meet a woman and she already has a shaved pussy it means she's either in a relationship or was not too long ago. it's actually pretty smart.
I think they just figure it out somehow. I remember when being young and how shaving your armpit hair was considered this ultra gay thing. they didn't teach that in sex ed either but there you go. people only started doing that whole brazilian thing because of modern porn.
that's what they mean when they argue the bush is a woman's honor. if you don't have a bush as a single woman you're considered a prostitute. used goods.
It’s common throughout asia
Famously, I think it was Nixon, who was told that Deng accepted that the US was ‘bawang’ - literally it just means tyrant or fuedal lord but the translator changed it to ‘hegemon’ when speaking to the Americans
Recently, the US DoD/DoS started translating Chinese documents are were upset that the Chinese keeps calling the US ‘global tyrant’ and China published in their English news that the word just means ‘hegemony’
Literally it means ‘to rule by force’, there’s another word for ‘rule by virtue’
A tyrant does rule by force and I think American realists would also admit that the US is able to maintain hegemony through force
Why is every leftshit solution to a problem is suggesting more government?
Because of "That needs to be done, but I shouldn't be the one who has to do it because I need to be able to do what I want, even if I want to do nothing." It's pure selfishness.
I have never seen a show that's this much of a nothingburger. Literally frick all happens, no one develops besides Anjinsama realising his crewmates are heathens. Women shouldn't write.
the real pathetic thing about american culture them on one hand going like tough dog freedom muh roads muh truck and then the governments ban mini-trucks like the hilux champ because of muh airbags and muh road saftey. b***hes.
Hell frickin yeah. It's not just a truck. It's the boat you haul to your remote camp on a lake. It's taking your kid's dirt bikes to the track. It's a full size camper and it's the freedom to get work done when and where you want it. I'm actually tearing up when I consider the MAJESTY of a good truck.
Why are you making Blackthorne a liberal homosexual b***h who wants to live in a 15 minute city and sit on the bus while black men punch women in the face?
Blackthorne drives an oversized truck. Queer.
Fricking b***h

what about BIGGER cars on those lanes? yes?

Seems like she doesn't want to bother him with bullshit and just gets to the point
it's a woman failing to understand when and where to use brevity

They were driving Mitsubishis back then?
maybe its because japanese and english is pretty different plus she wasn't proficient enough in portugues
I hate anti-car people so much it's unreal

>he thinks the government isnt involved with roads, licensing, gas, insurance, registration, and cops that can pull you over for arbitrary reasons
>it's another false equivalence where moron urbanist pretends like the vast US road network is at all the same as the closed loop of a bus or train

So this is the zoomer-cope for not being able to afford a car?
>im a PROUD american and that means spending $60k on a truck!
Yep it is.
Sad.
>he doesn't understand what the word 'more' means
I LOVE spending hundreds of dollars a month to spend hours in traffic instead of just taking public transit for a fraction of the time and cost. I HATE the idea of everything I need within a 15 minute walk.

they teach this to japanese teenagers in sex ed or something as a rule to follow?
I think they just figure it out somehow. I remember when being young and how shaving your armpit hair was considered this ultra gay thing. they didn't teach that in sex ed either but there you go. people only started doing that whole brazilian thing because of modern porn.

I heard that they have bushes but not that they shave it when they get into a relationship.
That's what king weaboo ryan dawson claims at least and dude married a japanese chick I guess.
That's how (modern) women all over the world work, Timmy.

Lack of creativity
Why is every leftshit solution to a problem is suggesting more government?
if you only got a hammer every problem seems like a nail
>my life would have been better with more parents
>the country would be better with more parents
they desire ultimate control
Leftists demand more LEFTIST government. Right wingers should demand Right governments.
Because of "That needs to be done, but I shouldn't be the one who has to do it because I need to be able to do what I want, even if I want to do nothing." It's pure selfishness.
Building more highways and building more public transport infrastructure are both "government." It's just a choice of which kind and expected effect.
I have never seen a show that's this much of a nothingburger. Literally frick all happens, no one develops besides Anjinsama realising his crewmates are heathens. Women shouldn't write.
Sometimes it's out of jealousy like when the prostitutes compliment him
No but it would possibly result in Anjin losing his head.
It blows my mind that Portugal was at one point a world power. It's such a nothing country now.
Who was Napoleon?
Good thing the Anjin was there to drive those bastards out of Japan before it turned into Brazil east
actually it probably would've turned into something like the philipines I imagine. A horrible fate really.
Yeah, bad investments will do that.
the real pathetic thing about american culture them on one hand going like tough dog freedom muh roads muh truck and then the governments ban mini-trucks like the hilux champ because of muh airbags and muh road saftey. b***hes.
>your not allowed to drive this in america
Actually, you are. But good luck someone selling you one of them, instead the overgrown SUV with a tow.
>americans will sign up for the military and use their earnings to buy expensive trucks
>americans literally die for this
Hell frickin yeah. It's not just a truck. It's the boat you haul to your remote camp on a lake. It's taking your kid's dirt bikes to the track.

Anjin is being cringe and reddit. With a car you can go anywhere you want.
