O que significa I got lost in translation.?
A:
to get lost in the translation = the translation did not convey all the meaning of the original. So 'Something got lost in the translation' means that you've misunderstood something or you haven't got whatever was being communicated quite right.
'I got lost in *the* translation' (which is a different phrase with a different idiom) could mean you are not following the translation because it is too difficult.

Q:
O que significa つれてこいか mean? I may have heard this wrong but the translation is "bring him back, huh?" A guy is saying this to himself. I understand the first word is つれる in te form. But what is こい??
A:
@philcheng816: The こい literally translates to "come here!" or "come back" because こい is くる in the imperative/command form.
So つれる (to bring someone) and くる (to come back) put together in this way 「つれてこい」 is a command to "bring him back"

A:
The word “translation” means to express the words of one language in another language.
For example: The Japanese word “こんにちは” is the translation of the English word “hello”.
The word “interpreting” or “interpretation” means to understand something in a certain way.
For example: I interpret the word “home” as being a place of love, care and community.
However, “interpreting” could also refer to the translation of words from one language into another.
For example: “Jean will interpret for me during the interview, since I do not speak English”.
In this circumstance, the two words can be used interchangeably. But, we tend to use the word “translate” more often. Hope this helps.

(If there is) What is the difference between "towards", "after", "to" and "for"?
Please provide any example sentences!
(If there is) What is the difference between "towards", "after", "to" and "for"?
Please provide any example sentences!
A:
"Towards" - Indicating the action of the sentence is going in the direction of the target. Example: "I throw the toy towards the dog." It's a more compact way of saying "I throw the toy in the direction of the dog."
"After" - Indicating that the action is taking place at a later time than the subject. Example: "I am going to a party after work."
"To" - Many different meanings, but in this context, I think that you mean the directional one. In this case, it's similar to "towards". Example: "I am moving closer to the mountains."
"For" - Also many different meanings, but normally it is indicating the purpose of the action, or a noun that is receiving the action. Example: "I am doing this for you." or "I work for money, not fame."
I hope this helps! There are a LOT of ways these words are used in English, so I would encourage more reading on them individually!

Q:
Como é que se diz isto em Inglês (EUA)? 飲まずには死ねない名酒 (のまずには しねない めいしゅ) The literal translation would be: You would deeply regret if you died without drinking the liquor, which implies the taste is really exceptional. Any concise expressions like a copy?
A:
確かに、Don't Die Before You Drink This というフレーズを品名にすれば、意味が通じますが、少し変な音がするかもしれません。 英語では、お酒やビールの品名は大抵、二三の言葉だけなので、長い品名はおかしいと思います。 もし、その酒はビールだったら、Bucket-list Beerという品名は魅力的でしょ。言葉の最初の文字は両方 Bですからね。 品名は、Alliteration (同じ最初の音を持つ言葉を合わせること) を使ったら、魅力的になりますね!
