龍が如く０英語版テキスト 「アラクレクエスト」その４

Kiryu

(Hm? Isn't that?)

Low-level Yakuza

Hah! Later, loser!

Gang Goombah

Damn it...

Kiryu

(No doubt about it. That's the thug who took Arakure from

　

the kid who stole the game from Akio.)

Kiryu

Hey, you're the guy who stole Arakure from the kid who

　

stole it from Akio, aren't you?

Gang Goombah

Eh!? Who the hell's Akio? And so what if I did? I saw my

　

chance and I took it! That was Akio, then?

Kiryu

No. You robbed the kid who robbed Akio of his Arakure.

Gang Goombah

I don't get it.

Kiryu

Forget it. Just give back that Arakure cartridge you stole.

Gang Goombah

Ara-Q3... ARA-Q3!? I don't wanna hear another word about

　

Ara-Q3! I'm gonna stomp you flat, pops!

Stomping…

Gang Goombah

Grrr... Shit! Looks I'm the one who got stomped!

Akio

Mister!

Kiryu

Hey, Akio. I just caught the wannabe punk who stole

　

your Ara-Q3 from that nerdy high school kid.

Akio

Uh. Okay! I don't get it, but that's great!

Kiryu

All right, give Akio his Arakure.

Gang Goombah

Sorry pal... but your game got pinched!

Kiryu

I'm not playing around. Give the kid his game or you

　

can suffer some more.

Gang Goombah

I'm serious! It's really gone! Some a-hole got the jump on me.

Kiryu

What? You were robbed, too?

Gang Goombah

Uh, yeah. This hardass yakuza type held me at gunpoint,

　

forced me to give it to him, then took off!

Kiryu

Yakuza type? You mean that guy who was just here?

Gang Goombah

Uh-huh. What a shitty day I'm having... That yakuza guy jacked my

　

Ara-Q3, and he's probably not even a fan...

Kiryu

Your Ara-Q3? That game wasn't yours to begin with!

Gang Goombah

Wah!

Kiryu

You steal from a kid then cry like a little baby when you

　

get mugged? I'm seeing a pathetic pattern here!

Kiryu

If this isn't getting through to you, how about we go

　

another round?

Gang Goombah

Waaahh! N-Nope, I'm good! I-I'm really sorry!

Akio

My Ara-Q3...

Kiryu

Don't worry, Akio. I promise, I'll hunt it down for you.

Akio

Mister... Okay! Got it!

Kiryu

(So, the thug who took Akio's Ara-Q3 from the kid who

　

stole it in the first place ended up having it taken by some

　

hardass yakuza" who went off towards Taihei Boulevard.)

Kiryu

(My head hurts)

注目フレーズ

That game wasn't yours to begin with!

　日本語版　 　そもそも、お前のアラクレじゃねぇだろ！

「to begin with」で「そもそも」感を出すのは、なるほどという感じですね。

下のリンクも勉強になります。

「そもそも」は英語でどう言う？

説明とか

チンピラを発見してまたしても拳で解決する桐生さん。

Kiryu

(Hm? Isn't that...?)

Gang Goombah

Later, freak!

Slimy

No fair... I've been defeated.

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

(No doubt about it. That's the kid who took Akio's game.)

Kiryu

Hey, you. You have that Arakure game, don't you?

Slimy

What's it to you? My adventure just came to an abrupt

Highschooler

end, so leave me alone!

Kiryu

No can do. I'll take back that Arakure you took from Akio.

Slimy Highschooler

Ara-Q3!? That's the last thing I wanna hear about right now!

　

Forget it! I'm gonna grind your ass just for the experience!

Persuading…

Slimy

Yergh...

Highschooler

　

Akio

Mister!

Kiryu

Akio, I just caught the guy who took your Arakure.

Akio

Oh, yay!

Kiryu

Okay, give Akio his Arakure back.

Slimy

Look man... I don't have it!

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

Give it up already. If you don't want another beating, hand

　

it over, and get a job next time you want a video game.

Slimy

I told you, I don't have it! I got robbed by a better thief than me!

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

What? You were robbed, too?

Slimy

Y-Yeah. This jerk from a street gang busted out his

Highschooler

dagger of stealing and make me give it to him.

Kiryu

A gang member? You mean that guy who was just here?

Slimy

Year. Lame... I could be home leveling up, but now my Ara-Q3

Highschooler

is probably going to some dude who's not even a fan...

Kiryu

Excuse me? Your Ara-Q3? ...That Arakure wasn't yours!

Slimy

!!!

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

You rob a little kid then turn around and cry like a baby

　

when you get mugged? How pathetic is that?

Kiryu

If you haven't learned your lessen yet... you want

　

another class?

Slimy

A-Ack, no! I'm already out of lives! S-Sorry man,

Highschooler

I'm outta here!

Akio

My Ara-Q3...

Kiryu

Don't worry Akio. I'll get it back for you, I promise.

Akio

Mister... Okay! Got it!

Kiryu

(So the kid who stole Akio's Ara-Q3 had it stolen by some

　

thug. And that guy went off towards Taihei Boulevard East.)

注目フレーズ

That's the last thing I wanna hear about right now!

　日本語版　 　そんな名前、今聞きたくねー！

「今聞きたいことの中では最後です」-> 「今はそれだけは聞きたくない！」

「the last thing」とか「the last man」とかで強い否定を伝えるのって、なんとなくおしゃれですよね。

説明とか

龍が如く０英語版テキスト 「アラクレクエスト」その２

Kiryu

(Hm? Isn't that...?)

Slimy

Heh! Game over, loser!

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

Hey, you're the kid who was lined up for that game, right?

　

Did you manage to get it?

Last Boy in Line

Oh, m-mister...

Kiryu

What's the matter? Something wrong?

　

Y-Yes... M-My brand new video game... That guy stole it.

Kiryu

What? Wait, you mean that high school kid who just left?

Last Boy in Line

Uh-huh. He just ran up and yelled at me to hand it over.

　

He took it... My Ara-Q3...

Last Boy in Line

I spent all morning waiting in line, too...

　

I... I saved up my allowance for a really, really

　

long time to get it. And now it's gone. *sniffle*

Kiryu

(Stealing from a little boy? That's really low.)

Kiryu

Hey, kid. What's your name?

Last Boy in Line

It's, it's... Akio.

Kiryu

Akio. Got it.

Kiryu

Hang tight, Akio. I'll get your game back.

Akio

...Huh? You will?

Kiryu

So... there's no need to cry.

Akio

M-Mister...

Akio

Okay! I won't cry anymore!

Kiryu

Good. That's showing some spine, little man. I like that.

　

Leave it to me.

Akio

Yay! Thank you, mister!

Kiryu

(That high school delinquent ran off towards Pink Street

　

with Akio's Arakure game.)

注目フレーズ

I'll get your game back.

　日本語版　 　俺がお前のゲーム、取り返してきてやる。

これくらいのことでも、いざ英語で言おうとすると難しいですよね。

ゲームを横取りされた人がいたら使える必須表現ですので、覚えておきましょう。

説明とか

アラクレクエスト続き

前回列に並んで興奮していた少年が、ゲームをようやく手に入れたと

思ったら、悪い高校生（Slimy Highschooler）に奪われてしまいます。

「slimy」って「ぬるぬるした（スライムみたいな）」感じかと思いきや、

「不快な」「誠実さのない」みたいな意味でも使われるんですね。

龍が如く０英語版テキスト 「アラクレクエスト」その１

Kiryu

Hm?

Kiryu

(What's this line for?)

Kiryu

(It could be something serious. I should ask around.)

Kiryu

Hey, kid.

Last Boy in Line

Huh? Yes?

Kiryu

What's going on? Why are all these people here?

Last Boy in Line

Um... Did you want one, too? I'm really sorry, but they said

　

I'll get the last one in stock.

Kiryu

What are you talking about?

Last Boy in Line

Huh? Aren't you lining up for Ara-Q3?

Kiryu

Aura Cue... Three? Is that some kind of secret code?

Last Boy in Line

Nah, it's Ara-Q3, the newest game in the Arakure series!

Last Boy in Line

Ara-Q3's short for Arakure Ⅲ: Quest for the Quantum Quill.

　

I can't wait to read the instruction manual on the way home!

Kiryu

Hmm. Never heard of it.

Kiryu

So people are actually lining up to buy a video game?

　

What an amazing world we live in.

Last Boy in Line

Yeah! It's the most popular game in Japan right now!

Last Boy in Line

I went looking for it with Papa, but they were sold out

　

everywhere.

Last Boy in Line

But then my friend told me this place was getting a new

　

batch today. So I grabbed my allowance and

　

ran all the way here!

Last Boy in Line

I made it just in time and got the last reservation ticket!

　

I'm so happy! it's gonna be the best game ever made!

Kiryu

Times are strange if it's this hard to buy a toy.

Kiryu

Sorry to bug you, kid. Thanks for the info.

Last Boy in Line

Yup! Bye, mister!

注目フレーズ

I grabbed my allowance and ran all the way here!

　日本語版　 　僕、おこづかいにぎりしめて慌てて家を飛び出してきちゃった！

「家を飛び出す」の部分を忠実に訳すと「I rushed out of the house!」あたりになるでしょうか。
