バンビ~ノ!
A new drama season has started in Japan, which has given me a lot of first episodes to go through. Sometimes the acting is so bad I can't get past the ten minute mark before deleting the file. There are a couple of good shows this season, and the first one I've been able to watch all the way through is バンビ~ノ!, or Bambino. The story is about a country boy who loves to cook. Everyone in town thinks he makes the best pasta, which has swelled his head some. He gets a chance to go to Tokyo to work in a real Italian restaurant and test his skills, leading to all sorts of adventures and realizations.
I usually watch everyday type dramas with little specialized jargon, so Bambino has been a bit of a stretch with all of the cooking terms thrown in. Every once in a while, though, a 30 second passage makes perfect sense and I get the urge to translate it.
「何だその顔は。え?バンビ。」鉄幹が言う。 「え?バンビ?」 「今日からお前の名前だ。イタリアのバンビーノ。一人じゃ何も出来ない、生まれたての赤ん坊。ま、ガキんちょっていう意味だ。どうだ?お前にぴったりだろ。バンビーノ。」 「・・・うっす。」
Chef: What happened to your face? Well, Bambi? Ban: Huh? "Bambi?" Chef: That's your name starting today. From the Italian bambino--a newly born child that can't do anything on its own. Well, "brat" would be a better translation. It fits you perfectly, don't you think? Bambino. Ban: ...yes, sir.
I wonder if my Japanese will ever get to the point where the entire show would flow as easily as that.Labels: Japan
