| Aug 21, 2020 at 23:49 | comment | added | Nanigashi | I guess I didn't see the OP's interpretation as being very definitive, given the tentative tone and the repeated disclaimers. ("It could just be that I am misunderstanding the passage," "if I understand correctly," "I believe referring to the complex," "unless I am misunderstanding things." That's a lot of equivocation for a five-sentence post.) Thanks so much for responding; I read a lot of your answers, and I never know whether to be more impressed with the depth of your knowledge, the clarity of your explanations, or your sheer generosity with your time and expertise! | |
| Aug 21, 2020 at 21:26 | comment | added | naruto | @Nanigashi According to OP, they are talking about あの子, not 同級生の男子. This 男子 is probably someone they don't even know. OP said "I believe referring to the complex" and there seems to be no good reason to doubt this. | |
| Aug 21, 2020 at 17:46 | comment | added | Nanigashi | Is there any chance that when the second person says 子供っぽい it's not referring to the person with the メガネコンプレックス, but to the boy who teased her when she was little? Like, "That was childish" (ie., it was childish of the boy to tease her). "Well, after all he was a just a child, so it's to be expected that he would act childish." That's how I took it, and if this reading doesn't make sense I'm curious about why not. (i.e., does the fact that 子供っぽい and なんだから are in the present tense make such a reading impossible, or is there some other reason?) | |
