<for a colleague leaving her job> ...we'll miss you
-- in Japanese it is the one leaving that says, "...wasurenai de kudasai"
[please don't forget me]
<for yourself or others> ...he's happy
-- in Japanese one's happiness is instead, "...omoshiroi" or "ureshii"
but very seldom "shiawase"
<posing for camera> ... smile
-- in Japanese there is a word/phrase, but seldom is it used
<referring laughter> ...we laughed a lot
-- in Japanese there is a word, but seldom did I hear it used
<by way of greeting or as a show of interest/concern> ..ogenki desu ka
-- in English, "are you all right" implies a serious condition, not casual
remark; also "genki" is more than physical comfort and includes mental
condition
From: Janet R. Goodwin <jan@pollux.csustan Dot Ed>
I see no reason why Letters from Iwo Jima should be considered a whitewash
of Japanese military behavior. Eastwood, in the humanist mode
of, well, Akira Kurosawa, examined the diverse reactions of people in a
horrendous, and helpless, situation. He saw these people not as
"Japanese soldiers" but as soldiers who happened to be Japanese. That's
why it was a good film. To demand that all Japanese soldiers be
portrayed as brutal because there were those in the Japanese army who
committed brutal acts makes me, as an American in the days of Abu
Ghraib and Guantanamo, feel very uncomfortable indeed.
