Furthermore, this room is too warm with さらに〜
Grammar Explanation: Furthermore with さらに〜
Upon walking in on a murder scene, Conan goes right to work making observations about the blood-covered body and its surroundings. He notes how the room is torn apart save for one upright chair beside the deceased.
- コナン:
- 「さらに、暑すぎるこの部屋…」
- “Furthermore, this room is too warm...”
- Literal: “Furthermore, this room, which is too hot...”
- 「死亡推定時刻をくるわせるためなのか…」
- “Is it to confuse the estimated time of death...?”
- Literal: “Is it for the purpose of throwing off the estimated time of death...?”
- 「いや、まてよ… それなら死体を水につけた方が…」
- “No, wait... If that's the case, it would be better to put the corpse in water...”
- Literal: “No, wait... if that were so, putting the corpse in water would be...”
- “Furthermore, this room is too warm...”
さらに is used here to provide additional observations.
Key Points
- Conan is already listing suspicious details about the room.
- さらに works like “furthermore” or “in addition”, introducing one more observation.
- Instead of saying この部屋は暑すぎる, Conan says 暑すぎるこの部屋.
- That structure spotlights “this too-hot room” as another suspicious item on his list.
