吊り気味の瞳

[larethian]

Anyone can help me with this in nice English? Thanks in advance. ^^"

Is this an eye patch? - Probably not - but funny what one can gets with blind guessing from the words Rikaichan is showing.

But is it just about hair that hangs over the eyes?

I managed to get this translated into romanji as:

Tsuri-gimi no hitomi

or is that Tsuri kimi no hitomi?

eyes...suspending touch?

something to do with "feeling", eyes that arch/float/lifting with emotion? eye ?or eyes?

hmmm...

like... smoldering eye(s)? Eyes that kind of seem to burn/waver with...something? oh! maybe like mirage eyes?

1. To burn without flame; undergo slow or suppressed combustion.
2. To exist or continue in a suppressed state or without outward demonstration: Hatred smoldered beneath a polite surface.
3. To display repressed feelings, as of indignation, anger, or the like: to smolder with rage.

When you look into them, they have a look that seems to hold your gaze, like looking at a mirage on a hot day and you see the image in the distant....shimmering because of the heat?

Well, maybe not the best interpretation, but if i had to choose, something like:

"Her floating/drifting Shimmering/smoldering eye(s)"
Or
"She had Eye(s) of rising Smolder/Mirage"



edit:Wait!

maybe it can be intepreted as: a void?

Eyes that fall into an endless void?

One has only to look into someone eyes and get lost!

"he had eyes of a depth-less Void"

well, literally, it means "pupils that felt like they are hanging/suspended". unlike "sharp eyes" which I'll translate it to "piercing eyes", I know not how to describe this in equivalent English.

anyway, I loosely likened it to being elastic, and used "ebullience".

oh like that huh? then i'll probably describe them as "Dancing eyes" because they don't stay still, they seem to...well.. "dance" :]

[larethian]

thanks for the sug. I'll wait for more input in the meantime :]

[onizuka-gto]

No problem Larethian,

I'll just drop these few other words that is synonymous with "ebullience" here for you to mull over.

agitation, animation, buoyancy, effervescence, effusiveness, elation, excitement, exhilaration, exuberance, exuberancy, ferment, gaiety, high spirits, high-spiritedness, liveliness, vitality, vivaciousness, vivacity, zest, briskness, buoyancy, dash, dynamism, elation, energy, enthusiasm, esprit, excitement, exhilaration, fervor, gaiety, high spirits, life, oomph, passion, pep, sparkle, spirit, sprightliness, verve, vibrancy, vigor, vim, vitality, vivacity, zap, zeal, zest, zing, zip, élan

I might just add that there could be a relation to 吊り目 which translates to slant eyes (or almond eyes, for a better sound).

Though, admittedly, “hitomi“ has a eyeballish nuance to it, so well...
