Finished the week 3 reading!
Definitely cried while reading this… H.R.4103 getting passed 111-33, this part felt way too familiar… And the lawyers working tirelessly to try to help people who got exploited by this bad law, that also reminded me a lot of right now. I have friends who are immigration lawyers, and they’ve been incredibly busy lately…
I also learned a few words—in Japanese!
毛唐 was a new one for me as well; I’ve never seen that one before in any Japanese media I’ve read or watched! All the frequency dictionaries I have installed on Yomitan have pretty low frequency numbers for it, so I wonder if it’s a somewhat old-fashioned term that isn’t used much anymore…
弁士 was the other new one for me! I’ll definitely have to see if I can watch one of these films sometime, just to experience it. Though I feel like there’s no way my Japanese is up to the task
.
I also missed it as well! I wonder if maybe our versions were translated differently? monace, do you have a photo of a page with an example of this so that we can compare?
