If you are walking a tightrope and the audience feels the tension, what would you describe your feelings?

strain refers to something or someone that has a force being acted upon them or it. or they are applying the force . so for example :
the table broke under the strain of too much weight. or he went crazy because of the strain of too much work/pressure. so strain is a resisting action. tension refers to the force itself. so you could say: the tension strained the string and it broke. or i did some some stretching exercise today, and when i bent down to touch my toes i could feel the tension in my back. i stretched too much and i strained my back ( from the tension). this is the literal translation of tension. ok i asked a japanese friend and he said this might help to define tension in a social sense: kin paku kan or kin cho kan i hope that helps. |

You asked your friend for me. It’s very kind of you! Tension is kincho-kan. I see. It’s understanding. So, when you feel tension, the time is shorter, and strain is longer or after you feel tension. Right? Thanks a lot! If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask. I YamaP |

Hi.
Could you correct my English? "Hayashi Rice" I ate Hayashi Rice at M&C Café today. Hayashi Rice is similar to beef stew, and an ordinary dish in Japan. Many restaurants claim that they have the original Hayashi Rice, and M&C café is one of them. M&C Café is run by MARUZEN book chain store. They say their first president named Hayashi is the first person who made Hayashi Rice. I’m not sure they are right or not, but I love the Café. They have good and quiet atmosphere, and the servers seem to have pride of their company. It’s very nice place to have a break after shopping. Thank you.

Very little to comment on in that passage ゆりさん。
servers seem to have pride of their company. - I would use staff rather than servers; "in" rather than "of" (and maybe "work" rather than "company") "Servers" is understood, but not a natural choice. M&C Café is run by MARUZEN book chain store. They say their first president named Hayashi is the first person who made Hayashi Rice. M&C Cafe, run by MARUZEN book store chain, claim that their first president, Hayashi, was the first (person) to make Hayashi Rice. - Only "is←was" as a mandatory correction. Getting nit-picky: I ate Hayashi Rice at M&C Café today. Hayashi Rice is similar to beef stew, and an ordinary dish in Japan. At an M&C Cafe today, I had Hayashi Rice. It is an ordinary dish in Japan, similar to beef stew. Many restaurants claim that they have the original Hayashi Rice, and M&C café is one of them. NO ERROR. Many restaurants, M&C Cafe among them, claim that theirs is the original Hayashi Rice. It’s very nice place to have a break after shopping. "a very nice place" (probably a matter of local dialect) have←take; |

As for the post composition, there weren't many change needed. Mostly the changes were in articles concerning ownership of items ("their company", "their president", etc.), and changing some instance of "have" to "take". The second kind of change is mostly personal, so if a different meaning is wanted changes can always be made. Unfortunately for you, she is not here. "Ride for ruin, and the world ended!" |
