Episode 6: Dates and Releasing Pigeons
| Chinese Version | English Version (with commentary) | Japanese Version |
| Shinkai: 什麼？"(What?) | So? | |
| Ogawa: 你說話阿
(Say something) |
“What???” she demands. | |
| Shinkai: 說什麼？
(Say what?) |
“What what?” he counters foolishly. | |
| Ogawa: 說什麼都可以 (Say anything) | “Say something.” she tells him, irritably. | |
| Shinkai: 那可以的話， 我們去吃飯吧。。。。 還是不要好了 (All right, we could go and eat ..... or not....) | He looks a bit nonplussed but then says. “Okay…… If you’d like ….” He pauses. “ …we could go out to eat?” he suggests hopefully. She doesn't immediately reply. “Or not,” he says abruptly, walking away with his banana in hand, clearly not wanting to be rejected by her yet again. |
|
| Ogawa: 又來了 (Again?) | “Again?” she asks him unexpectedly. | |
| Shinkai: Huh? |
“What?” he asks, turning around and staring at her quizzically. | |
| Ogawa: 我們不是常一起吃飯嗎？(Don’t we often go out to eat together?) | “We always go out to eat.” she points out. | |
| Shinkai: 話雖如此 (Not sure about this) | “Yeah but …” He wasn’t quite sure of her point. | |
| Ogawa: 去不同的地方就可以 (If we want to somewhere different, that would be all right) | She looks down at the ground and then up at him again. “If it was somewhere different – it would be okay…” she tells him a little hesitantly, a little shyly. | |
| Shinkai: 不同的地方？
(Somewhere different?) |
“Somewhere new?” he asks her, very encouraged. He starts walking towards her again. She continues to look at him.. | |
| Ogawa: 我的意思是不要阪燒或迴轉壽司 .... (What I mean is - not okonomiyaki or sushi ....) | “Not okonomiyaki or sushi. More …..” | |
| Shinkai: 我知道， 就是要可以喝茶聊天嗎 (Oh I know, a place where you can drink tea and chat.) | “Oh I know” He says enthusiastically, suddenly realising her meaning. “A more trendy place?” | Oh a place with a trendy mood. |
| Ogawa: 也不一定要那種地方
(Well it doesn't definitely have to be that kind of place) |
“Not really.....” she says with a laugh. | |
| Shinkai: 就像是可以約會的地方對吧 (Basically a place where you can go for a date, right?) | “Basically a date spot … for a date – right?” He suggests. | |
| Ogawa: 我們至今都沒有約會過不是嗎
(Up till now we've never gone a date, right?) |
“We’ve never gone on a date, right?” | |
| Shinkai: 我也很少去那種地方。 今天幾點比較好呢
(I too have seldom gone to this kind of place. What time today is good
for you?) |
“And we should.” he says emphatically. “What time today is good?” he asks her. | Because I want to go there. |
| Ogawa: 今天不行
(Not possible today) |
“I can’t today.” she tells him, taking a step away from him. | |
| Shinkai: Huh? 你在耍我是馬
(Huh - are you playing with me?) |
“What????” he demands in disbelief, taking a step towards her. “Playing hard to get?” he asks her, walking towards her step for step as she continues to walk backwards away from him, hands shoved in her pockets like a little child. | |
| Ogawa: 不是拉。 我今天晚值夜班 (No. I'm working the late shift today). | “No – I’m working nights today and tomorrow.” | |
| Shinkai: 既然這樣， 一開始幹嘛要答應我呢
(If that's the case, you should have said so from the start!) |
“You should have said so from the beginning then!” he says, looking annoyed and disappointed. | |
| Ogawa: 我說要去，又沒說今天去 (I said I wanted to go - I didn't say go today). | She looks defensive. “I was going to but you were complaining about …” |
|
| Shinkai: 那妳是說我誤會囉。 我明天要飛北京
(So you're saying I misunderstood. Tomorrow I'm going to Beijing). |
“I was not!!” he interrupts her, glaring at her. Both stop where they are and Ogawa moves awkwardly on the spot from one foot to another, peeping up at him hopefully through her hair. “I’m going to Beijing tomorrow.” he tells her. |
|
| Ogawa: 然後呢? (And after that?) | “So?” she asks him. | And what? |
| Shinkai: 回程是星期天那天晚上怎麼樣
(I'm returning on Sunday - is Sunday night all right?) |
“I’m coming back Sunday …. How’s Sunday night?” He asks her hopefully. |
|
| Ogawa: 應該可以 (Should be possible) | “Sounds okay.” she says cautiously. | |
| Shinkai: 那我先預定囉， 那種約會氣氛的店
(Well I'll first book a place... a place with a date like atmopshere)
|
“Right I’ll book somewhere .. fancy.” he suggests eagerly. | |
| Ogawa: 真下流
(Filthy / disgusting!) |
“Sounds like you’re up to something.” She says suspiciously. | |
| Shinkai: 妳說什麼？(What
did you say?) |
“Why?” he demands, looking offended. | |
| Ogawa: 你說的樣子很下流
(The way you said it was very filthy / disgusting - suggestive perhaps?) |
“The way you said it.” she tells him irritably and quickly walks away. |
|
| Shinkai: 喂！ 我說妳啊！ 你到底聽到了沒？(Hey!
I'm talking to you! Are you listening?) |
“Hey!” She keeps walking. “Wait!” He calls out to her retreating back. “Are you listening?” he demands in irritation. |
|
| Ogawa: 我會等你的。 星期天
(I'll wait for you. Sunday night). |
She stops and turns. “I’ll see you Sunday night.” there is a hint of a smile on her pale face. “I’ll be waiting for you.” |
|
| Shinkai: 不要放我的鴿子哦 (Don't release my pigeons - ie don't stand me up!) | He smiles slightly but then shouts. “Don’t forget! | Don't dissemble / pretend not to remember your promise. |
