クサクサすることばっかりだけど、気を取り直して頑張っていきましょう！

We've been moping around too much. It's time to pull ourselves together and keep trying.

で、電話してみたらしいんだけど、その電話先の相手ってのが問題だったのよ。

And so it seems she tried phoning but it's who was on the other end of that phone that was the problem.

どうせ駄作だろうと思っていたのだけど、どっこいなかなかいい本だった。

I was expecting it to be a bad book, but damn me if it wasn't quite good after all.

アウトドアの活動が好きだけど虫は嫌い。

I love the outdoors, but I hate bugs.

エムサイズの黄色い長袖のシャツが欲しいんだけど。

I'd like a long-sleeved shirt in yellow, medium.

だけど俺の心はまだカオスの中にいる。

But my mind is still in chaos.

性能的には問題なかったんだけど、一体あたりにかかる費用があまりにも膨大で、コストパフォーマンスが悪いということでね。

There was nothing wrong with their ability, it was just that the expense for each unit was so vast that the cost performance was bad.

茶色のスエードの上着は、どんなのがあるかな、サイズは４０なんだけど。

What do you have in brown suede jackets, size 40?

あんなドレスが着られたらいいんだけど。もっとスマートにならなくちゃ。

I'd love to be able to wear a dress like that. But I'll have to lose some weight first.

あの人は、見た目はこわそうだけど、フレンドリーな人ですよ。心配しないで。

Don't worry. He may look intimidating at first glance, but he's actually a very friendly person.

この間ミュージカルに見に行ったんだけど、前から３列目でさ、もう憧れの人が目の前で、もう最高だったね。一段と彼を好きになった。

I was at a musical recently, in the third row. Seeing the actor I love up close like that made me feel more smitten with him than ever.

まあその、自慢できる事でもないんだけど。というか、臆面もなく吹聴できる話でもない。

Well, that is, it's not something I can boast about. In fact, it's not something I can talk about in public without shame

見た目には優しそうだけど、彼って皆から外柔内剛の結構なタフネゴシエータと言われているよ。

He seems like a softy on the surface, but at the core he's got an iron will that makes him an extremely tough negotiator.

俺、甘党だけど、お酒も飲むよ。

I prefer cakes or candies to alcohol, but I do drink.

本人は唯我独尊を決め込んでいるようだけども、周りから見れば単なるわがままだよね。

He's completely convinced of his own greatness but to the people around him he's just a selfish jerk.

荒唐無稽と皆に言われた彼のビジネスプランだけど、今となっては我々の不明を恥じるしかないのかね。

Every one of us who ridiculed his business plan as a bunch of hokum should be embarrassed we did.

数学。行列式のところが宿題になってるんだけど・・・どうも僕にはついていけなくて・・・。

Maths. Homework's about derivatives, but I really can't seem to cope with it.

蓮くんは察しは良い様だけど、もう少し心の機微というものを理解出来る様に努力するべきじゃないかしら。

You're considerate, but don't you think you should work a little more at understanding the subtleties of the human mind?

ホームページ作りに四苦八苦してるようだけど、手伝ってあげようか。

You look like you're having a lot of trouble setting up that web page. Want some help?

うちが援助してる酒造さんがね、新しい甘酒を造ったから試飲してみてくださいって持ってきてくれたんだけど。

A brewery we finance has made a new sweet sake and brought some to us asking us to try it.

なんか・・・女湯から悲鳴が聞こえてくるんだけど。

Say ... I can hear screams coming from the women's bath.

いつまでもぶつくさ言っているのは君の勝手だけどね、それじゃあ事態は何一つ変わらないよ。

You can complain 'til the cows come home, but it's not going to make a bit of difference.

素朴な疑問なんだけど、・・・トラとライオンはどっちが強いの？

This may be a silly question, but which is stronger - a tiger or a lion?

彼のビジネスプランは立派だけど、勘定あって銭足らず、という気もするけどね。

His business plan looks good on paper but I get the feeling it would never work in practice.

これも後で言うつもりだったんだけどカタハネのキャラに端役というのは存在しないのよね。

I planned to say this later on but in Katahane there is no such thing as a 'bit part'.

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？

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?

彼、能書きばかり立派だけど、言うは易く行うは難し、ってこと分かってんのかなあ。

His boosterism makes it sound wonderful but I wonder if he understands how hard it's going to be to actually carry out.

あのさ〜俺らいま遊ぶお金ないんだけどね。まあ、ぶっちゃけ恵んでよな。

Y'know we're short of money to have fun and ... Well to be blunt, gimme!

手八丁口八丁の彼だけど、誠がないのが玉に瑕だね。

He works fast and is very articulate but his insincerity is his biggest defect.

この辺臭うんだけど。

Something stinks here.

足し算は好きだけど引き算は嫌いだ。

I like addition but not subtraction.

「店のばーさんは、すげー愛想悪いんだけどさー」「大輝、聞こえとるぞ」「げっ・・・」

"The old lady of this shop is very unsociable but ..." "Taiki, I can hear you!" "Ack!"

あの亜弓って子、まだ１３歳だけど５つのときから子役として映画や舞台に出演。

That 'Ayumi' kid, only 13 but has performed in movies and theatres as a child actor since she was five.

部屋は兎小屋みたいだけど。

But my place is like a rabbit hutch.

仕事が忙しすぎるのも考えものだけど、時間が余るのもなぁ。

Being too busy with work is a problem, but then so is having too much free time.

結局、言い出しっぺの人が来てないんだけど、どういうこと？

He brought it up first, but he didn't show up. What's going on?

要するにタイマン勝負なんだけど、その試合内容は常人では考えられないほどの高レベル。

Essentially it's a one-to-one match, but the content of that match is a level so high as to be unthinkable to an ordinary person.

あのさ恭平、この問題・・・食塩水のやつなんだけど・・・。

You see, Kyohei, this question ... it's about saline solution but ...

２１２ー８３６ー１７２５に指名通話をかけたいんだけど。

I want to make a person-to person call to 212-836-1725.

専用線で見ると、すごく早いんだけど。

It's really fast with a dedicated line.
