10 hrs confidence: 
ripple-like Explanation: This is what I would say. "Ripple" is what you see when you throw a rock into a pond. Japanese word 水輪 is exact translation of ripple. Because there is another character 状 after 水輪, this has to be taken care of alos. Its English equivalent in this case is -like. In your context the liquidy matter is being spit out from a spout of some kind of machine, and it is far more denser than water, you see it is spreading out in ripple-like manner. Think about this -- you are making a pancake, and made a butter first (by mixing flour, water, eggs, etc.), then you take this out from the bowl and slowly pour into a pan, that's what you see. Hope this helps. |

circular ring (shape) Explanation: In response to your added information: 吐出された流動状食品材料の水輪状の広がりを利用する。。。 I would say: Use the expanding circular ring (shape) of the liquid as it is poured into the mold.... One more thing - I would advise against using any form of "spit" to translate 吐き出す in any food-related translations (unless you're talking about a human reaction, of course!! ;-) ) HTH a little... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days11 hrs (2006-09-17 19:38:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I should add that I'm assuming the 'circular ring' is being used, kind of as a *guide* for introducing additional colors (of the liquid) to the mix, (like when making a marble cake, etc.). Does that make sense in your context? |

peer agreement (net): +2in the form of water ring (or circle) Explanation: 水輪, pronounced as "suirin", can be literally water ring or circle. It's not a common term, but you can imagine how it's formed if you think of wave rings spreading outwards when you drop a stone in a calm-surface pond. I don't know what it is, but the referred material is liquid and ripples like water. HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2006-09-21 05:18:23 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- If stressing, the nuance in Japanese lies in its similarity to water. Please think about it. - Cheers, Reference: http://www.aisf.or.jp/~jaanus/deta/s/suirin.htm Reference: http://www.aisf.or.jp/~jaanus/deta/g/gorintou.htm |
