Was the cross word fluke? (28)

I found the interesting word "fluke" in the comic Spy x Family.

I think it's a good word and we often use it in Japanese, too.

The scene was something below.

When the main character Tasogare first met Anya, he thought she was clever because she solved a crossword puzzle quickly.

However, after a few days when they were out, Anya though bakery was a shop for bacon.

Tasogare though at the time, that she wasn't actually clever.

He said that was the crossword fluke? in his mind.


スパイファミリーの漫画の中に「まぐれ」という面白い言葉を見つけました。

これいい言葉だと思います。日本語でもよく使います。

そのシーンは次のような感じでした。

黄昏がアーニャに初めてあった時、彼女ががクロスワードパズルを簡単に解いたので黄昏は彼女が賢いと思いました。

でも、数日後彼外出中に、彼女は、ベイカリーという文字を見てベーコンのお店だと思いました。

その時、黄昏はアーニャは実は、あまり賢くないのではないかと思いました。

彼は、「クロスワードはまぐれだった?」と心の中でつぶやきました。

He said that was the crossword fluke?


He said that washer solving the crossword was a fluke? He said that her solving the crossword was a fluke?

He said that wondered "was the crossword puzzle a fluke?" He wondered "was the crossword puzzle a fluke?"

Again, seems a bit different from the Japanese text. 彼は、「クロスワードはまぐれだった?」と心の中でつぶやきました。 Your English sentence is asking whether or not "that" was the crossword was a fluke, but what's "that"? By putting "was it a fluke?" in quotations that makes it what he said. Instead of "he said ... in his mind", "he wondered" is better. Incidentally, whenever I want to say "I wonder" in Japanese, I always struggle with how to convey that thought in Japanese.

He said that thought to himself ‘was the crossword a fluke? He thought to himself ‘was the crossword a fluke?

Alternatively: He asked himself if the crossword might have been a fluke.

I don't know I'd suggest changing it, but we'd normally say "manga" instead of "comic." That said, whether there's a reason to consider manga and comics as different things is another topic. The logical statement is "I found an interesting word in the comic." That the word was "fluke" is a clarification and so grammatically it should be surrounded by commas.

"that" is optional here

However, after a few days later when they were out, Anya though bakery was a shop for bacon. However, few days later when they were out, Anya though bakery was a shop for bacon.

The Japanese text seems a bit different to me: でも、数日後彼外出中に、彼女は、ベイカリーという文字を見てベーコンのお店だと思いました。 The 文字 here makes me think she read "bakery" and thought "bacon shop," and when I checked the first episode of the anime (I don't have the manga), that's indeed what happened. I would write this like so: > However, a few days later walking along the street, Anya read "bakery" on a shop sign and thought it was a "bacon" shop.

However, after a few days when they were out, Anya thought the bakery was a shop for bacon. However, after a few days when they were out, Anya thought the bakery was a shop for bacon.
