A note of the translations - Sometimes they're off because the translator was in a rush, or perchance lazy, othertimes its just what would fit better in English. I know there are quite a few common Japanese phrases that you just wouldn't say in English.
Easiest example: 頑張りましょう (ganbarimashou)
How often would you say "Lets do our best!" at a sporting event? "Let's kick some ass!" would be more likely.
What about during a test?
I'm sure MMM will probably correct me, but direct translation does not always work. Most non-professional translating will be interpretative at best.
