Key Points
-
眼鏡 = “eyeglasses”
-
In this scene, 眼鏡 simply means the professor’s eyeglasses
-
Even though the kanji are 眼 “eye” and 鏡 “mirror”, 眼鏡 is a fixed everyday word for glasses, not a phrase you normally parse literally in conversation
-
-
博士の眼鏡がこんな所に = “the professor’s glasses are in a place like this”
-
The subject is 博士の眼鏡が → “the professor’s glasses”
-
こんな所 means “a place like this”, showing Genta’s shock that they would be lying here in the secret passage
-
-
落ちてんだ = casual 落ちているんだ
-
「落ちてんだ」 contracts 落ちているんだ in casual speech
-
Here んだ adds an explanatory, alarmed tone: he is not calmly stating a fact, but reacting to surprising evidence in front of him
-
-
割れてるし血もついてる = piling on bad signs
-
「割れてる」 is casual for 割れている → “they’re broken”
-
The し gives one reason/evidence and implies more, while 血も adds “blood too”, making the discovery feel even more ominous
