質問: 英語が苦手なので、メールの英文の翻訳をお願いします ... palate-teasing? that is something i don't think i've ever been told.. i do know it is healthy and eating it will keep oneself healthy and all that. i actually plan on trying natto... i just got to find out how to make it, ha ha. i will let you know what i think of it when i do try it. ha ha ha! yes, i've only recieved valentine's gifts from my mom. eh, i've never really observed the holiday too much, i mean occasionally i get my friends gifts but other than that i'm too busy with school work to even worry. i mean in high school guys knew i didn't care for the holiday... i mean it was obvious since my nose was always in a book..ha ha. anywho.. yea in my previous e-mail when i told you about it, it's not known world wide just here in the us and mostly in ohio and even then it's only certain parts of ohio that celebrate it. i sent an e-mail with my mailing address in it in response to the one you sent my about being worried about exchanging addresses through e-mail. i'm not sending you a gift because it's 'dutiful' i'm sending it because i want to :) well i'm off to study for a while. can't wait to hear from you ^_^ これ(上記)が以下の自分の送信メールに対する返答です。英語が得意な方、どうかこれ(上記)を翻訳してください!! lol you are a person of all trades. i mean not “jack of all trades, master of none.”( proverb ) but you’re excellent person because you are palate-teasing, keen about and familiar with various things, and so on. you mentioned you’ve been into asian food. that’s because it tastes good unexpectedly :) additionally it’s mostly healthy. so eating it is good for your health and maybe you don’t have to worry about death in early life ha ha. why don’t you eat “natto” once? you’re right. when you eat it, your reaction will interest me ha ha. lol you've only received valentine's day gifts from your mother!? a attractive person such as you should receive a present from men for valentine’s day(angry ha ha)! but really?? well, sweetest day??that's something i’ve never heard of. hmm. it started there (略)
回答: 「僕がグルメ?そんな事言われたの初めて。ヘルシーで健康食なのは知ってるけど。納豆はトライしてみるつもりだよ。どうやって作るのか調べなきゃ。ハハ。もし食べたらどうだったか報告するから。ハハハ!そう、バレンタインギフトはママからしか貰ってないよ。今まで祝日(※注)のことはあんまり考えた事なかった。たまに友達からプレゼントもらった事はあるけど、それ以外は宿題とかで忙しくてかまってられないし。学校の友達は僕が祝日について気にしてないのは知ってるよ。僕はガリ勉だから。ハハ。まぁとにかく・・・前のメールでも言ったけど、祝日は世界的には知られてなくて、アメリカだけ、特にオハイオ州だけ、それもオハイオ州の一部の地域だけで祝ってるんだ。君はeメールで住所の交換するには心配ってことだけど、僕は住所をeメールで送ったよ。君にギフトを送るのは義務とかじゃなくって、ただそうしたいからだよ。よし、もう勉強しなくちゃ。返事楽しみにしてるよ。」 ※話の流れからして、彼はバレンタインデーをholiday(祝日)と呼んでいると思われますが、オハイオ州の一部だけでしか祝わないと言っているので、ちょっと話の背景が掴めませんでした。バレンタインデーは休日ではないので「holiday」と呼ぶのは珍しいし、愛を表現する日というのは世界的に知られているはずですので。
