【评论】海外观众观扭三评论的翻译(嘟嘟相关和全剧)7月4日12楼更新
不像各位GN写文做爱慕V填词作画那样油菜花,只能翻译一下海外观众对扭三的评论给GN们看看。评论来自一个海外很有名的三国论坛。我最近在翻译海外观众对扭三的评论,这篇是专门说嘟嘟临终的,翻得我快虐死了。来跟GN们分享一下。下面是某观众对第57、58集的评论。得到了英文原贴作者的转帖及翻译的许可。
先上原贴:
By Lady Wu:
Episode 57
R.I.P. Gongjin. I will love you forever.
Also, I hate Kongming. This whole "killing without spilling blood" thing is way too nasty. I know, it's brilliant and all, but I'd hate him a lot less if he actually fought a real battle against Zhou Yu on the field and killed him.
I think the series did a fantastic job showing gradually that Gongjin was not a egomaniac who cared only about his own ambitions. Although he seemed that way at first, before the gates of Nanjun/Jingzhou (by Mengde's Curly Beard I want to murder whoever did the geography research---or didn't) he ordered a retreat instead of taking by force what he desired for so long---for the sake of saving the soldiers. Then, in this episode, he swallowed the indignation and accepted Zhuge's offer---again, so that Southland soldiers wouldn't have to die for a vain cause. And finally, he revealed all on his deathbed, telling Sun Quan that he was only acting stubborn and tyrannical for the greater good of Wu---and because he knew that Sun Quan was broad-minded enough to handle it.
Although Zhou Yu and Sun Quan appeared to be at odds with each other most of the time, they trusted each other for no other reason than that they knew it was the right thing to do, and the other person would give the same amount of trust back. Sure, it's been a political game at times, and Sun Quan did have to draw the line once or twice (like that time when he said "if he doesn't consider me his lord..." thing to Lu Su). However, the amount of trust between those two is just incredible. Sun Quan trusted that Zhou Yu wouldn't get Wu destroyed, and Zhou Yu trusted that Sun Quan wouldn't get him killed for insubordination, even though all external signs showed that Zhou Yu would get Wu burnt and that Sun Quan was uneasy about Zhou Yu's power.
I don't think Sun Quan regretted investing all this power and trust into Gongjin. His only regret was that Gongjin was unable to agree with him on the particulars of the Southland's expansion strategy. *tissue time*
Speaking of the death scene, I am so impressed with all the little details in it. Zhou Yu's regular clothes were hung at the back of the room, which I thought was a nice touch. I don't recall any other sleep/sick/death scenes where you could so visibly see the clothes that the person wasn't wearing. Obviously if Zhou Yu was lying in bed he wasn't going to wear his full set of day clothes, but having all that behind Sun Quan seems to signify that Zhou Yu had put aside his pride, his power, his pretense, and was really addressing Sun Quan honestly and as himself. He was no longer the Handsome Master Zhou, Grand Commander of Wu, but just a dying man who wanted his inmost thoughts heard and appreciated.
The other nice piece in the set was the scroll by Zhou Yu's bed. Earlier on we've seen Zhou Yu obsessing over a scroll, which Zhou Yu described to Lu Meng as "a masterpiece by the greatest mind" (or something like that). We've inferred that he's talking about Zhuge Liang, but now it's made completely explicit. (Honestly, though, if they really wanted the audience to catch on to the title of the scroll, they really should NOT have used the Seal Script but instead the Clerical Script (隶书), which was more appropriate anyway. They made Cao Cao write a character in the Seal Script in ep 60, too, and that made me want to throw things across the room.)
The glances that Zhou Yu gave Lu Meng were also fantastic. Poor Ziming. I want to give him a hug.
Episode 58
Can I say again I want to give Lu Meng a hug?
He's obviously disappointed that he wasn't named the next Grand Commander. But he trusted his beloved Gongjin and his lord so much that he graciously lent his complete support to Lu Su. Lu Meng's acting was superb through the funeral bit. He didn't have to say anything (I don't think he had lines?) but you can tell how sad, how dejected, and how furious he was.
This episode makes me really really want to kill Kongming. Though I have to say the acting is fantastic.
And finally, comic relief! Pang Tong! He and Zhang Fei = Best combination ever.
