and it fits ... I guess I'm a kid of my generation ...

You Belong in Generation X

You fit in best with people born between 1961 and 1981. You are fun, laid back, and very independent. You are willing to take risks and live your life however you see fit. You are casual, accepting, and friendly. You see everyone as your equal.

What Generation Do You Belong In?

Um... it tells me that "You Belong in the Baby Boomer Generation. You fit in best with people born between 1943 and 1960."

No wonder I feel so old. Now stay off my lawn, whippersnapper!

LOL :) Well it probably means you are a bit old-fashioned but in a good way :) *hugs*
How is the boy-friend thing going? Did you get the money for the rent together? I keep my fingers crossed for you!!!

[dramagirl001.livejournal.com]

I got the same as you, and it is very true of me also!

I didn't see you had added me as a friend.....how very rude of me not to add you back! :)

I'm asking for a little help!

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

It is a bit off topic, but anyway, it's about generation. :)

May I ask your advice as a philologist?
In the name of Kimura's dorama "Love Generation" (ラブジェネレーション) "generation" is a subject or an action? Does it use as an "age", "breed", "cohort" of love (well, like in this pole "You belong to Generation X) or as "building", "generating" of love?

I'm translating the subs in Russian now and confused a bit about the title. My first impulse was to translate it as a "subject" - as it is used in "The Love Generation" (hippie). But later I began to think that may be I'm wrong. I asked alexandral, but she also is not sure about it. She said may be you could help. Please~!

Woah .. that is really difficult. I thought it was always used as generating love instead of like the 1960's movement.
Especially as Generation (as in the ppl living in a certain day and age) is 生成 in Japanese.

Re: I'm asking for a little help!

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for advice!
In fact I myself was closer to deciding on "generating love", especially because in the series they speak so mach about the different ways love could born.

Re: I'm asking for a little help!

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yep, so I guess you can translated it as learning to love or Creating Love in Russian.

Re: I'm asking for a little help!

At a moment I translated it as "Зарождение любви"? but later may be I think about some other varionats. I'm only at the very beginning of work. I translater the 1st ep. and now working on the 2d...

Oh, I know what else I wanted to ask you on the subject! Could you give a look when you have time?

This is in 2d ep. Teppei says the phrase to his collegue that I can't understand. What does he mean by that?

I can't as I lent my LG DVD to a friend. Just checked youtube but no Love Generation eps :( I will download ep 2 tonight, okay, and will let you know.

Re: I'm asking for a little help!

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

Oh, please, don't bother youself so much so much - tell me when you get you DVD back...

Re: I'm asking for a little help!

I'm a native speaker of English not Japanese. I am just learning by listening Japanese :)

275
00:18:32,881 --> 00:18:35,616

00:19:01,275 --> 00:19:05,779

284
00:19:05,780 --> 00:19:07,147

Wakarimashita!
He hates to lose to his bosses who think they can belittle him by putting him in the business and not the creative side of his job.
He means that these bosses don't know how to be humble and just work on, even if it isn't the job they really want to do.

Re: I'm asking for a little help!

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

Oh, great! Thank you very much!!!
That was what I wanted to know! Now I understand more or les what he wants to say.

Anyway, a complicated thought it is.

Re: I'm asking for a little help!

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

It is .. and it is so atypical a thought for a Japanese salary man ... I guess the director wanted to show the difference between Teppei in the beginning - an unyielding, not typical Japanese - and Teppei who does everything even bowing to get his love.

Re: I'm asking for a little help!

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

Kind of a story of a good Japanese boy who's damaged a bit by western gaijin ideas, but after troublem comes back to his roots, ne? :D :D :D

Re: I'm asking for a little help!

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yep, something like that :)
