There's no perfect one-to-one translation for '罷り通る' in English, but the phrase 'get away with it' captures that sense of someone succeeding in their wrongdoing without consequences.
In legal dramas like 'Suits', you'll often hear characters say 'How does he keep getting away with it?' when referring to corrupt executives. The Netflix series 'House of Cards' also uses this expression frequently as Frank Underwood manipulates the political system. What's fascinating is how translators localize this concept - sometimes opting for stronger verbs like 'run roughshod' or idioms like 'getting off scot-free' depending on context.
The nuance shifts slightly in different genres. Crime shows might use 'slip through the cracks' while fantasy series could go for 'reign unchecked'. Each adaptation preserves that core idea of unchecked power or successful deception.
「乗り入れる」という日本語のニュアンスを英語で表現するのはなかなか難しいよね。特に海外ドラマの翻訳で見かける場合、文脈によって訳語が変わってくる。
例えば電車が他の会社の線路に入る場合なら『run on』や『enter』が使われることが多い。『This train will run on the JR line』みたいな感じ。でも建物に無断で入り込むようなシーンなら『trespass』や『break into』の方がしっくりくる。『Breaking Bad』のエピソードで使われてた『They trespassed into private property』という台詞が印象的だった。
翻訳の面白さって、単語の置き換えじゃなくて、状況に合わせて最適な表現を探すところにあるんだよね。
