Well here's the next three sentences. I think they could probably do with a tune up but ...


同様の挙動をするイベントでも結構です。【イベント = コンピュータ用語】 Another event that has the same behaviour would also be fine. 

I shiver at my embarrasment to come, but I confess I would have used 持
つ rather than する.

吹き荒れる嵐の予感に、僕らはこぞって震えあがった。 At this hint of the violent storm to come we shivered as one. 

I'm as comfortable with the Japanese as I am with the English.  "Shiver
as one"?


How about "shuddered as one" then?

こぞって震え gets no googles. 

All Japanese comes from 100% Japanese sources.  If it's not Googled then
it's copied directly from the book I was reading or game I was playing
when I came across the word.

Given the games I play this doesn't really provide any guarrantee that it isn't complete gibberish - but if so it is authentic Japanese gibberish.

なぜそそくさと出てくるのか。 Why rush out? 

"Why rush out?" sounds like something you'd say to someone you think is
going to rush out (unless this is another way British and American
differ).

I don't think so. I think it's an example of dubious-translatious (paulius).

If the speaker is outside, the rush-outer must have already
done it.


I thought that was the time-like くる.

I couldn't have come up with an example of そそくさと at all, though.

I think "Why rush out?" is quite nice.

How would "Why come out in such a haste ?" be?

The speaker is outside watching with wonder why the people hastly
coming out

In retrospect I think I should have come up with a better one.
