Mario Email 18: Japanese Email
Cast (in order of appearance): Mario
Mario receives an email from a Japanese sender. He translates using the Japanese-English translator, and replies with the English-Japanese translator.
Transcript:
Mario (singing): You can't touch this! Let me handle it! Can't touch this! Hammer Time!
こんにちは、 Mario!
私は日本からある。 日本人についてどう思いますか。
ありがとう、
Amiyumi
Mario (reads the greeting which says "Konnichiwa Mario!" then stops): What is this? Did the Japanese not get typed correctly or something? I see a "Mario!" and an "Amiyumi" in there, but that's all I can see in the email. Maybe I need to translate the rest of this email.
(He types "run Japanesetranslator" and presses enter.)
Mario: (clicks "email") Oh, maybe some of this... (he types the text written by the sender) ...and maybe some of that... (he clicks "translate") ...and then give it a little bit of time.
(Windows 3.1 ding.wav) Your message has been translated.
Mario: Whoa! That was quick. (he presses Enter) Let's see what we got here.
Hi, Mario!
I'm from Japan. What do you think of the Japanese?
Thank You,
Amiyumi
Mario: Well, Amiyumi, I can say, it wasn't written very well so it must not be good. I think you need to work harder on it. (typing) I wish I could get the symbols correctly on my computer, but it doesn't have that language capability. Your friend, Mario. (spoken) Until next time, meet me at six.
