> 呼び出し場所は、昼休み中には **似つかわしくない** 通学路。その途中にある休憩所だ。

**似つかわしくない** : inappropriate, unsuitable.

I'm confused with the sentence, and I suspected **似つかわしくない** might have
another meaning.

If I translated the sentence, it will be like:

> The meeting point is on the school route, which is **not suitable** during
> the lunch break. It is a rest area along that route.

(sounds strange to put together the words **not suitable** with a time period
like a **lunch break** )

Please kindly enlighten me, thank you.

question
translation meaning
The meaning of 似つかわしくない
So I think this is actually more of a semantics issue than a translation
issue.

> 昼休み中には似つかわしくない通学路
>
> school route which is unsuitable/unusual for/during lunch break

I might translate `昼休み中に` as `for lunch break` in this specific case, although
in most cases `during lunch break` is definitely the obvious choice. However,
the point I really want to make though is that `unusual for lunch break` is
maybe not as strange as you seem to be suggesting it is, at least assuming the
speaker in this case is a student.

The sentence appears to be saying that this person was called out to an
"unusual" place to be during lunch break, presumably in the sense that it's
not the kind of place you would expect students to be at that time. This makes
sense for a school route; by definition we only expect students to be there in
the morning/evening.

A much looser (but easier to understand) translation of the first sentence:

> The meeting place was on my route to school, the last place I expected to be
> during lunch break
