Revelations 2 About Barry's E-Mail to Chris...

So I've made the effort to translate the original Japanese text into english, plus transcription in Romaji (Latin letters)

It was helluva work, but it was a good exersice for my Japanese as I'm still learning the language.

Unfortunately, there was one sentence I couldn't translate, but the rest wasn't that hard.

Note: Some sentences can be easily translated into indo-european languages, but some sentences require an interpretation, since they wouldn't make any sense in english or german or any other indo-european language.

But enough talk. Have fun reading ;)

アフリカでの任務から帰還したと聞いた。ご苦労だった。
Afurika de ninmu kara kikanshita to kiita. Gokurō datta.
I heard you got back from your mission in Africa. You did a great job!

行方不明だったジルを救出できたそうだな。サイコウにハッピーなニューズだ。報告を聞いたときは、飛びあがって喜んだ。
Yukue fumei datta jiru o kyūshutsu dekita sō da na . saikō ni happī na nyūzu da . hōkoku o kiita toki wa , tobiagatte yorokonda.
And it seems like you were able to rescue Jill. These were amazing news. When I heard that, I jumped for joy!

なんせ俺たち3人は、ラクーンシティを支えた「S.T.A.R.S.」なんて大それた名の特殊部隊時代から、もう十年以上の付き合いだ。

However, we 3 gotta look out for each other. We’re like a family for more than a decade, since our time at S.T.A.R.S in Raccoon City.

親友とか戦友とかじゃ語れない間柄になっている。

いろいろと訊きたいことはあるが、さすがのおまえも今は疲れていることだろう。まずは、ゆっくり体を休めてくれ。

I would like to ask you a lot of questions, although you’re probably tired. But At first you should rest!

おまえもジルも、しばらく事後処理で忙しいだろうが、落ち着いたらゆっくり酒でも飲もううじゃないか。

Thanks for putting the Romaji, I'm not very good with the Kanji. xD I couldn't translate that one part either, it's put weirdly, but the rest of it looks good.

Glad I could help ;) I'm actually very good at Kanji, they're my strongest point in japanese :D

But that whole Chris and Jill thing... It's very weird. Even the japanese version mentions some "problems". Now I really wanna know what happened after 5...

I bet 100 bucks on this one.
On their way back home Jill made a joke about Chris and roids. Chris got offended, like a little princess that he is and said she looked like a hooker in RE3. Both have an argument, causing Jill to cry, then she bitchslapped Chris and told him "Don't ever talk to me again, you f*ggot". She runs away and Chris screams his infamous "JIIIILLL" line. Drama ensues. xD
