Key Points
1眼鏡 = “eyeglasses”
- In this scene, 眼鏡 simply means the professor’s eyeglasses.
- Even though the kanji are 眼 “eye” and 鏡 “mirror”, 眼鏡 is a fixed everyday word for glasses, not a phrase you normally parse literally in conversation.
2博士の眼鏡がこんな所に = “the professor’s glasses are in a place like this”
- The subject is 博士の眼鏡が “the professor’s glasses”.
- こんな所 means “a place like this”, showing Genta’s shock that they would be lying here in the secret passage.
3落ちてんだ = casual 落ちているんだ
- 「落ちてんだ」 contracts 落ちているんだ in casual speech.
- Here んだ adds an explanatory, alarmed tone: he is not calmly stating a fact, but reacting to surprising evidence in front of him.
4割れてるし血もついてる = piling on bad signs
- 「割れてる」 is casual for 割れている “they’re broken”.
- The し gives one reason/evidence and implies more, while 血も adds “blood too”, making the discovery feel even more ominous.
