from here


Google translation (from Japanese):
6/13 14: It is in about 00 from Prince st. of N and R train to ride the Uptown going, but appearing in the load of the ring and the like by the how same vehicle, you encountered to [ru] Elijah Wood.
Riding, because the [ru] how does not think because first being similar, when just the [ru] thinks as kana, the person around produced to take the photograph, that it is this person, you understood subway something.
Because the streetcar shakes, the blurring [te] it increases, but being desperate, you took the photograph with the camera of carrying.
With like the boy, speaking lovely, it was feeling.
Why, whether it was riding the subway it is unclear, but the person who is possible to be the frank feeling so was.

EDIT2: Slightly better translation from Babelfish: Beinginabout 14:00of 6/13 from Princest.of NandRtrain to ride in the Uptown going..... [same translation]

EDIT: My attempt at a better translation based on the Google and Babelfish translations:
At about 14:00 on June 13, (I/you?) saw Elijah Wood, who appeared in Lord of the Rings, on a N-R subway train from Prince St. going Uptown. While riding the subway, at first I thought he looked a bit familiar though it seemed impossible (since we were on the subway) and then someone started to take a photo, then I realized it was indeed him. The photo is blurry due to the shaking of the subway train, but since the person was desperate, he/she took the photo with the camera he/she was carrying. He (Elijah) spoke in a loving way, (full of warmth/emotion). Why he was riding the subway was unclear, but the person (who took the photo)... really enjoyed meeting him. [not sure about this ending... any ideas?]

Am very sorry if this has been posted before.

So he's still in NY right?? I was beginning to wonder if he'd hopped over to Japan. Nothing surprises me with this guy any more..lol. Thanks Angel. Lovely pic and it's so cool to have visual proof that he really does in fact ride the subway trains.

I can't translate all.

she write.
"people noticed his existence"
"They began to take the photograph in portable phone camera"
"He looked like cute (feeling)-boyish person."
"He looked like nice friendly person"
etc...

I can't speak English.
I'm sorry.
But I knew some Japanese sightings.
Several students met him in oxford.

I wonder about he deals with being constantly recognised, even just quietly going about his business using PT. He has so much patience - not that I blame the people for wanting to photograph him and talk to him. I'd be doing the same no doubt - if I had the courage! Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks so much for this - wish I had seen that when I was on the subway in NYC!! I am so conflicted between wanting to see pics and hear about people meeting Elijah but also wanting him to be able to live his life and have some privacy. I think my wanting pics/reports side is winning out!!

My English ability is also bad. I hope my translation from Japanese to English is your help to understand her experience.

I got on N-R subway from Prince St. going Uptown at about 14:00 on June 13.
Can you believe that Elijah Wood who appeared in The Lord of the Rings was on the same train with me!
At first I was thinking that the guy only resembles him, since he cannot be on the subway.
And then someone started to take a photo, then I realized it was indeed him.
The photo is blurry due to the shaking of the subway train, I was desperate and took the photograph with the camera of a cellular phone.
He was boyish and cute.
I do not know the reason he was on the subway.
And I felt he was frank and good person.


She comes from Osaka of Japan and lives in NY for six years. I don't know her occupation.
She is writing about her daily life and also she is writing about a restaurants, a shops, a places which is her recommend of NY city by her Blog.


Thank you sayorin for your quick translate. I also tryed my best.

douglas1961さん

全部訳していただいてすいません。
いい加減すぎる訳しかできないのに差し出がましいことをしてしまい
しかも中途半端な訳し方のままで申し訳なかった感じですが
やっぱり英語ができる方は流石だなあと思います♪
本当にありがとうございました!
今回の件でもっと英語を勉強しなくてはとおもいました(´・ω・`)

It is so difficult for me to tell nuance correctly.
But maybe a little it was help to community I believe.
We do anything good,if it for Elijah,right?

i think it's cool that elijah is comfortable enough to hop on public transportation, even with people's cameras poised and ready to snap in a moment of recognition. sometimes that's the only way to get around in that city. thanks for the find angel. :)
