> Sorry about that. Kinda confused a bit. You know, that, yes, everybody knows, what you call, ya, that's it! In the end, that's the way it is.
コーヒーを飲みながら考えた。この英文変だよ。
まず、"that's it!"ってどっから出てきた？
それに"that's it!"って感嘆符まで使って、その後に来る文章が、
「そんなもんさ(しょーがねーや)」、ってニュアンスのある
"that's the way it is."というのもロジック的じゃないような・・・
あとさぁ、「そのー、あのー」なんて言ってるときに、
"what you call"って使うか？
前にkindaなんて砕けた表現も出てきてることだし、
俺的には"whatchamacallit"だね。

No one, I think, is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in, but it's alright
That is, I think it's not too bad
Always, no, sometimes, think it's me
But, you know, I know when it's a dream
I think, er, no, I mean, er, yes, but it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree

『（誤）According to your request,

としか書いてありません。理由は特に書かれていません。
"According to" は文頭では、このような意味には使われない、ということでしょうか？
「貴方のお申越にしたがい」ならば、Following your request,
In response to your request などが良い。
According to your request, は「貴方のお申越にしたがい」という意味ではない。

Read the Bible! You'll see Ken's right!, May 13, 1998
On the contrary to the comment before, this book IS an attempt to read the Bible as it is. It does not try to interpret or skew the actual description in the Bible by historical understanding of the times, and takes everything at its face value (fundamentalism at its extreme, you might say). And it's fun! Makes you want to actually look into the Book. Hey, no disrespect or anything, but who in the history of Christianity has ever made Bible reading into something fun? Not Martin Luther, it's Ken.
Contrary to what another reviewer stated, this book IS an attempt to present the Bible as it is. It does not try to skew the actual Bible descriptions using the fashionable "politically-correct" interpretations of the Biblical times (...)

“I am tired of struggling to translate their non-logical Japanese drafts into English.”
すると、相手は「え？どういうこと？」と訊いてくることになるので、後から説明する。例えば、
“They are non-trained writers employed as engineers by a private company, and their drafts are not written logically enough to understand. I suppose they are self-complacent with their drafts and never imagine how hard it is to translate them into English.”
（↑山形の英語よりははるかにマシ） 改善できる点はたくさんあるが、とりあえず・・・
“I am tired of having to translate their illogical Japanese reports into English.”
These reports are written by engineers who have no training or background in technical writing, so that naturally the reports often have numerous logical flaws.
I suppose the engineers would never imagine how difficult it is to translate these barely understandable reports into English.
「一人よがり」を入れると・・・
These reports are written by engineers wth no training or background in technical writing, so that naturally the reports often contain numerous logical flaws.
The plight of poor souls who must struggle to tranlate these barely understandable reports into Enblish wouldn't even occur to the smug engineers.
Transator's Comment: A note about the "author" of this article, TANAKA Sakai. He's sort of a pseudo-crank journalist.
But unlike a real crank, he can't come up with any interesting conspiracy theory of his own.
His strength (or weakness) comes from the fact that he doesn't have the ability to think for himself, and his total disregard for consistency.
He simply cannot judge and dismiss quack conspiracy theories, even when it sneaks up his asshole in the form of a snake (not that it does so very often, but even when it did).

Between Coordinate Adjectives
Coordinate adjectives are those that carry equal weight—like co-workers in an organization. It doesn't matter which comes first because they both have equal emphasis. It does not matter which order coordinate adjectives appear in.
EXAMPLE:
Willy had a long, bushy beard.
Willy had a bushy, long beard.
It does not matter which comes first: long or bushy. These are coordinate adjectives. Notice the comma between the adjectives.
NOT Between Cumulative Adjectives
Cumulative adjectives build their meaning in one particular order. You can not switch them around and still make sense.
EXAMPLE:
Willy wore his black basketball shoes.
Willy wore his basketball black shoes. (This sounds silly, doesn't it?)
The order of black and basketball does matter; black must appear first in the sentence. These are cumulative adjectives: they build their meaning in one order only. Notice there is no comma between them.

Election In Play, From Pres. Race To Senate
By Eddie Pells, Associated Press Writer
Nov 2, 2004 1:23 pm US/Mountain
DENVER (AP) The Republican-leaning state of Colorado was very much in play Tuesday, with some polls showing Democrat John Kerry within range of President Bush and the race for an open Senate seat expected to come down to just a few percentage points.
Adding to the intrigue was a ballot measure that would immediately split up ...
I swear I never heard this expression "So, the state of xxx is still very much in play" 4 years ago.
How the quotes are used throughout the following article (they are not sarcastic/ironic quotes) also suggests that this use is new.
Arizona acts not like state 'in play'
Robert Robb
The Arizona Republic
Nov. 9, 2004 09:32 AM
Postscript thoughts about the Arizona election:
• Tell me again the one about Arizona being "in play" in the presidential race.
In 2000, George W. Bush took the state by the registration margin Republicans then had over Democrats, about 5 percent. advertisement
In 2004, although both parties had lost registration share to independents, Republicans still maintained about a 5 percent advantage over Democrats. Yet Bush carried the state by twice the registration differential, or 10 percent.
According to the Arizona exit poll, 14 percent more self-described Republicans turned out to vote than Democrats.
Those aren't the characteristics of a state "in play."
