時をかける少女: Week 1 Discussion (Chapter 1)

I suppose I’ll start off the questions :stuck_out_tongue:

理科教室の黒い影

「そうかい、すまないなあ」I have no idea except すまない is casual すみません. I’m not sure who’s talking either

ぼんやりのようにも見えるし、なにを考えているかわからない、きみ悪さが感じられるときもある。My attempt at translating: Because Kazuo appears to be absentminded, and you don’t know what he’s thinking, -----------. I don’t understand that last clause at all, and I’m not sure of the usage of も in the first one.

吾郎は胸をそらしていった。まっかにふくらんだ顔のため、しょっちゅうりきんでいるように見える。
Attempt: Gorou puffed out his chest. Because of his red face, he often appears to be bluffing.

「芳山くんは、まるでぼくたちを、赤んぼうみたいに思ってるようだぜ。」
This one was tricky but I think it’s: Yoshiyama seems to think that we’re just like babies/children <EDIT: This is the correct translation>

一夫は、夢みるような目つきのまま、ぼんやりとそういって、のろのろと手を洗いつづけた。
Attempt: Kazuo, his eyes remaining dreamy, said so vacantly, and slowly continued washing his hands. <EDIT: As is this>

Thanks in advance d(^^)
