Comic Diary 9

I actually translated these awhile ago, but found out they were claimed.  I don't really know if they're still claimed or what, but I think I'm in the clear (due to changes in claimed process)?  Sorry if I'm wrong though.  I really find this claimed thing hard to navigate.  This is also my first time posting on livejournal.  Hopefully it goes okay. 

Correct me if there are any mistakes.  Translation notes at the end.

Original here
■New York People's Chic-ness■

I shall answer your question.

>New York is famous for having a
chic image, but is that what it's
like in reality?

Yes.  Quite chic.



Italian people and



French people are quite chic.



But New Yorkers, when it comes to fashion
are quite rough.

Mild: T-shirt
Normal: button-up shirt
Cold: hoodie
More Cold: down-coat

Is the general rotation of clothing.
They spend their time dressed quite comfortably.



■French...■



Normally, in England, if you say maid,
this sort of maid comes to mind, but



If you put "French" in front, it immediately becomes
this sort of image.



England and France's bad relations are famous, aren't they?

Both these countries bilaterally use eachother's names
to change the meaning of words.
In English, putting "French" in front of a word
generally changes the word to mean
foolish or vulgar.

Now that I mention it, pornographic videos
are also called "French Movies."

Incidentally, in France, words with
"Anglais (English)" in the front generally
take the meaning of vulgar.
Also, in French cooking, "Anglais" in the front
will mean either plain, simple, or unappetising.

 Okay, that's all.  For those of you on 4chan, I did post these before.  I had a bad font back then.  Some kind anon suggested this one, so you can thank that anon for it being easier to read.  If you still can't read it, blame my crappy editing skills.

The first comic, when I say chic, I mean fashionable.  That makes sense right?  I'm not really sure what a good choice of words would be.  Also, as for the seasonal wear, the words are mostly katakana, but they aren't quite the same in English as in Japanese.  I chose what I felt made the most sense, and what looked right with google image search.  Like parka became hoodie.  If you feel this is wrong, well, you can change it.

The second one, the later parts I'm uncertain on.  Because I don't know any French (despite being Canadian), I feel a little nervous making these claims, but I think it says something like this in the original.  Is it true?!  I had no idea. 
 
Okay, I figured out how to cut properly, so now I can focus on if the rest of this is claimed, or any other requests, or any translation problems.  Yay!

Thanks for translating it and LOLOL France XD
(is that a true, as I'm french I don't if "french" means "vulgar" or make things more sexy haha XD)
It's funny, though the part about using the word english in France doesn't take the meaning of vulgar at all. (or maybe 50 years ago)

Well... I remembered last week that the expression 'the English are coming' means 'I have my period'.
It's not really vulgar but.. well..
XD. Poor Arthur.

Thank you for the scanlations! I love Italy & France's outfits in the first strips and 'OH FRANCE' is the only way to describe the second one & that picture of him as a 'French maid'.

One little spelling mistake, though. In the last panel of the second strip, it's 'garbage' not 'garbadge'.

"Some kind anon suggested this one, so you can thank that anon for it being easier to read."
I think that might've been me...
Did this particular anon suggest the fonts Wild Words and AnimeAce...?

THIS IS WHERE THAT OUTFIT COMES FROM oh Francis, but thank you dear scanlator for helping me solve this one. I've been wondering about it for ages. :3

Mmmm French maid (excluding Francis). England could counter with his naked butler though.

he's right about nyc dress habits, we walk and take trains all day,so comfort is big. its feb, and even though its like 28 degrees out, everyone is either in hoodies or in coats
go ahead himaruya, poke fun at our frumpiness now,but you know come spring, u too will fall victim to the pleasure of that favorite causal outfit of oversized hoodies,blue jeans and flipflops

[identity profile] etherealtsuki.livejournal.com 2009-02-24 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
D: But we do dress chic.

Although I'm shocked that he didn't mention that New Yorkers wear black in the winter like it's some kinda dress code. LOL. If you see a sea of black in New York, it's definitely winter.

Speaking of Italian chicness, when I vacationed there last summer, pretty much every single man I saw on the street was wearing a suit, even if he was just bumming on the sidewalk or riding his vespa. It was quite impressive!

Oh god, France. Now a French maid in my mind is... AGGGHH!

On ne s'en rend pas compte nous même parce que ça joue de pas grand chose ou de choses dont on a tellement l'habitude qu'on ne les voit plus.
Lorsque je vais à Londres, j'ai l'impression de me faire remarquer avec mes vêtements à la coupe relativement élaborée. Par contre, en Italie, je me fond dans la foule.

I remember an English novel written between 1780 and 1800 where "French books" meant "porno books".
By the way, "French letter" is rendered in french as "capote anglaise" (literal translation : "English hood").

Also, in French cooking, "Anglais" in the front will mean either plain, simple, or unappetising.
I'm French and I've never heard of this...

Thanks a lot for the translation !

Never heard of the capote anglaise. Juste capote ^^
And well, for the cooking, he may just refer to 'English food' in general...

funny thing we don't actually really bash the english (I do but I'm lonely), thanks god we don't have the equivalent of their stupid tabloïd which is real garbage.
I wonder why Francis is always in Arthur house there are more english in France than french in England (they're even more numerous in Spain) the crisis will probably change that tough...

some expression
filer à l'anglaise : To take French leave (for the french it's refer probably to Dunkirk and Suez crisis, for the english maybe it's mean desertation)

I was born and raise in france, nicknamed "la petite anglaise". The teasing was so gentle I was profoundly chocked to discover that France and England were somewhat distrustful of each other when I moved across the channel 7 years ago. I had no idea there was ANY rivalry! My impression is that it's quite one-sided. Oh, England, you island of xenophobes... :)
