MemberHey again Gloomy,
Here's another tiny correction:
I think it would be better to replace "Sorry, but stand it just a little, please"
with
"Sorry, but hold on just a little (longer) , please"
I thought this sounds a bit more natural than "stand it just a little".
Is this still relatively accurate compared to the original Japanese text?

Memberガマン ⇒ "stand it" ⇒ "hold on"...
Is that a word you use when you're up against something difficult (not mean "wait a minute")?
Example : Don’t give up, hold on! | We should hold on until the rescue team arrives.
On the dictionary, there're what I meant. So "hold on" is good to be used.
I appreciate the fact that, You are helping to overcome these language barriers.

MemberYeah, you're absolutely right. It's used to tell someone to persevere or to wait.
Your example "Don’t give up, hold on!" is perfectly correct.
Have you ever heard the song "Hold on Tight" by Electronic Light Orchestra?
Here's a snippet of the lyrics of that song:
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying, just-a...
Hold on tight to your dream
They're saying that you should always believe in and stick to your dream, and to never lose hope. He is "holding on" tightly to his dream. Which means he is persevering and ignoring his pains.
Hold on is also used to tell someone to wait or continue waiting for a bit longer, which also the case here.
Example: Hold on! I need to go get my address book so I can write your number down.
I hope this helped :)

MemberYeah, It really helps me to have a native person to help me.
Recently Recently I came forward as a translator to e6, but I was having trouble asking questions on external sites.
So I'm very glad when users help me with replies.
