Does the 2 "こぼす" here have different meanings?


This dialogue.

> ジュースを零してしまうのだけど
>
> こぼさずに全部欲しい

I'm told the 1st line would be like "I spilled the juice by accident but..."

What I want to ask is if the 2nd line also means "spill" in this case? Or does
it mean like "complain"? I wondered cause the one is in kanji and other's not.

Does the 2nd line mean "I don't want to complain."




I think you answered yourself (=intentionally playing with words).

I guess the real talent of people translating literature is to be able to
recreate the original in the other language even when the original relies on
something that cannot simply be translated...

... not having that talent, we could say:

I wanted to have all the juice, without having to complain about part of it
having been spilled.
