我有一個朋友(是醫生　據說也翻譯過書　應該是醫學書籍吧) 目前在美國某大都市進修某日B上傳來消息他將江蕙的台語歌「家後」介紹給外國友人一邊說這首歌非常感人一邊將之翻成英文沒想到眾人聽了他的翻譯後一致的結論竟然是：這一定是一個家暴受虐婦女的哀歌我看了一下原來他把「家後」的一段「阮的一生獻乎恁兜才知幸福是吵吵鬧鬧」翻成「I devote my whole life to your family Then I know real life is full of fight and violence」噴飯之餘我試翻了一下以下是我自己的試譯貼出來跟大家討論至於我朋友的爆笑原譯為了我自身的性命安全　大家還是自我想像吧歌詞：家後(江蕙) 有一日咱若老 (有一天我們要是老了) When we grow old 找無人甲咱有孝 (找不到人孝順我們) And have no kids around 我會陪你坐惦椅寮 (我會陪你坐在長凳上) We will sit on the bench 聽你講少年的時陣你有外摮 (聽你講你年少時的風光) And you'll be bragging about the young days 吃好吃醜無計較 (不在意吃得飽不飽　穿得好不好) Would never care whether we live a good life 怨天怨地嘛袂曉 (也不怨天　不怨地) Never complain about our bad luck 你的手 (你的手) Your hand 我會甲你牽條條 (我會緊緊握住) I'll hold it tight 因為我是你的家後 (因為我是你的妻子) 'Cause I'm your wife 阮將青春嫁置恁兜 (我將自己的青春奉獻給你的家庭) We married young 阮對少年跟你跟甲老 (我從年輕就跟了你) And since the day You've been the one I look up to The one whose steps I follow through 人情世事已經看透透 (早已看透所有人情世故) Have come to understand about life About the ruthless game men play 有啥人比你卡重要 (還有誰比你重要) And I know No one can ever be more important than you 阮的一生獻乎恁兜 (我把一生都奉獻給你家) Being your housewife Looking after the family I'd spent a lifetime 才知幸福是吵吵鬧鬧 (才知道幸福是吵吵鬧鬧) To finally understand Hidden in our everyday chatters and quarrels is true happiness 等待返去的時陣若到 (當歸去的時候來到) When the time comes 我會讓你先走 (我會讓你先走) Please go first, dear 因為我會不甘放你為我目屎流 (因為我不忍心讓你為我哭) 'Cause I don't wanna see your tears shed over For it'll be too much pain for me to bear -- Avery的英文．翻譯記事本 http://blog.yam.com/AveryTaiwan -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.225.158.60
