The Second Mrs. Pennington advises me she shared the above photo of herfineself with Best Friend Junko. In so doing she included Junko's note of thanks, seen here in its entirety, or as much as was sent on to me...
ポーラ、だいじょうぶよ。見られるよ。
今送ってくれた写真は私も持ってる！ すぐ見られるところにファイルしてるよ！それに今私の 電話にも保
存(ほぞん)したからすぐ見られるよ！ ポーラと最後に会った池袋の私の家だね。ありがとう 
And this is Babelfish's take:
Pola, is to be, stoutness. It is seen. As for the photograph which now is sent I having, the [ru]! The file it has done in the place where it is seen immediately! Because to that now retention (the navel it is) it did even in my telephone, it is seen immediately! Don't you think? it is my house of Ikebukuro which meets with Pola lastly. Thank you
Heh. Stoutness!

Here is a more common translation....So much for Babelfish, eh?
She said: Yes, I can see attachments. I have a copy of that photo too. Just as I was about to open it, my computer failed! But since I saved it on my phone, I was able to see it. It was at my place in Ikebukuro, wasn't it. Thank you
The file it has done!
ReplyDeleteSo she speaks to you? That's nice. Have really enjoyed seeing and hearing about your trip!
ReplyDeleteOh -- and why aren't you watching football?? (I'm at work, but going home in a minute, to finish watching!!!)
ReplyDeleteMoogie: Heh.
ReplyDeleteKath: We exchange e-mails occasionally and she reads EIP once in a while.
re: football. I don't watch the pros... can't stand them, to be perfectly honest. But I AM watching the Beloved Wings, as we speak. Second intermission and they're down to Chicago, 3-2. Good game.
Google translate works a little bit better, but the human being still reigns supreme, ne?
ReplyDeletePaula, I feel OK. I can see.
Now you have sent me pictures, too! I'm just found the file now! And now saved in my phone (conservancy) You can see it from you! That's my house and last met Paula in Ikebukuro. Thanks
Babylon.com has : "Paula is all right. I am seen. I have the photograph which I sent now!I file it in the place to be seen immediately!I am thought to be it immediately to miss it because I made preservation (ほぞん) on my telephone now!It is my house of Ikebukuro that met Paula last. Thank you"
ReplyDeleteI'm voting Google! ;)
Hey Buck, side note: I had never used Google Translate before. I saw Bec mention it.
ReplyDeleteYou remember that Chinese in my sidebar? I tried it out on Google: "Because LSU is terrible at football, I laugh! And, you suck"
Got a good tip today...thanks Bec!
Bec: Google Translate IS consistently better than the others, at least in my estimation. I used the Babelfish version here for the comic effect... which I'm sure ya noticed.
ReplyDeleteAndy: Bec ALWAYS comes up with the best links and stuff!
You probably don't know this, but every Japanese woman I have seen naked, reminds me of a greek statue. Have you ever run your hands over marble and feel how smooth it is? Especially the transition to hips. American woman seem to feel more like a Ford pickup-truck in comparison... This thought comes as I view a perfect specimen of a beautiful Japanese woman, who could very well be my next greek statue to run my hands over. OK, what do you think, romantic enough?
ReplyDeleteOK, what do you think, romantic enough?
ReplyDeleteWorks for me! It remains to be seen how my women readers will take this, tho. ;-)
re: You probably don't know this...
You're right on that particular point. (insert another big-ass grin here)
Further... I could add Thai women to your "Greek statue" sentiments, too. I prolly shouldn't have said that...
