私はもっと敵の抵抗があると踏んでたんだけど、むしろ中枢に進むほど敵が減ってきてる・・・。おかしいと思わないかしら？の英語

I had expected stronger resistance from the enemy but if anything there are less of them as we advance to the centre... Don't you think that's strange?

"Well, even so my score is far above yours isn't it?" "What did you say!? If I was to go all out you'd be as nothing to me!"

You say that you're afraid of being disliked by other people, but you have some people that you dislike yourself, don't you? Arithmetically speaking, there are an equal number of people who you don't like that don't like you back. I'm not saying that if you end your dislike of someone, someone else will stop disliking you as well; it's just that you can't change the fact that if you dislike someone, then someone else dislikes you as well. Your life will go much smoother if you just give up and accept that truth.

But the boys I defeated in elementary school started growing bigger and stronger and I couldn't beat them anymore.

“My stroke was a little off."—“That's putting it mildly."

"You should write a novel or something." "Nah, I don't think so. I can't see myself coming up with anything good, anyways."

A strong veteran, having trained for tens of years, can fall to a weakling in a moment of laxness. That's what the martial arts world is.

I think I'll have more fun reading something now. I was always part of the bookworm group, but there are times when I just don't feel like reading anything. Right now I'm getting lots of "Read! Read!" waves coming at me.

So I was running in the heat, and then suddenly it didn't feel so hot anymore, but the temperature hadn't changed. Turns out, as my coach later pointed out, that was actually the first sign of heat stroke.

"What are you studying at university?" "Philosophy" "Philosophy? How is that going to be useful?" "So that I can learn about the importance of things which have no use."

Wha? Study, reflexes, all the parameters are MAX! You've even saved money up to the limit ... Amazing.

Go ahead! Make my day!

I understand the general approach, but I'm afraid that I'm getting bogged down in the details.

Oh my. However much it's just a P.E. class if you don't face it in real earnest then when it comes to a real fight it won't do you any good.

When I was in middle school, I had a friend in the track club who normally studied 3 hours a day. He didn't speed up the pace before tests. On the contrary, he didn't have any club activities and so had lot of free time, so before the test we would go to his house and play video games every day. If we hadn't done that, I would have gotten better grades too.

I'm sure that, if you report favorably on their project, they will repay (you for) your favor some way or other.

Um, so you don't understand? Well, I just assigned this one specifically to you because if these problems are all too simple, anything else would be insulting to you. Remember it if you have time.

"Today's stock exchange was emasculated."\n"What do you mean by 'emasculated'?"\n"I mean it was extremely weak."

As the popping sound of the fireworks stopped, it suddenly became quiet around me. The smell of gunpowder somehow put me in a sentimental mood.

That would be twenty-seven words instead of four, and while the bare message of the longer statement would be understood, the persuasive force would be lost.

Even though I put my all into this to begin with it ended up being menial work, so I think it didn't turn out great.

Comfort can spoil you. Once in a while, it can do you good to corner yourself (in a tight spot).

"It's cold, isn't it? With it being this cold, you'd want to go into hibernation, wouldn't you?" "Eh, the colder weather stresses me out, but I'd rather sleep through the summer."

When I was in elementary school I thought, from the bottom of my heart, that the teachers were great people and I was influenced by the teachers' attitudes and moral lessons, but middle school was just a business like any other.

"I know, right? The least they could do is put one on the second floor, too...Wait a mo! Why are you following me!?" "The 'why' is pretty obvious, don't you think? We're going to the bathroom together."

"That's right. At the least I wish they'd add one to the first floor as well ... Wait a mo! Why are you here!?" "'Why' is obvious isn't it? It's so we can go to the toilet together."

I don't get why test scores are more important for the education system than real learning. Just because that kind of system is easier to implement, doesn't mean it's the best choice.

I recently changed the way I take notes, and ever since then I've gained confidence in math. For example, usually when I take tests, I don't know anything, and I get bad grades. But yesterday I took a test, and although I don't know my score yet, I think it went well for once.
