剛才查了一下原文這個譯文絕對是故意配合粗俗又錯字連篇的原文只是用夾雜閩南語的方式來對應黑人腔調是否恰當？譯者板的大家應該可以來討論一下:) 就拿上數學課那段來對照一下好了~~ So, OK, it's Thursday, September twenty-four 1987 and I'm walking down the hall. I look good, smell good─fresh, clean. It's hot but I do not take off my leather jacket even though it's hot, it might get stolen or lost. Indian summer, Mr Wicher say. I don't know why he call it that. What he mean is, it's hot, 90 degrees, like summer days. And there is no, none, I mean none, air conditioning in this mutherfucking building. The building I'm talking about is, of course, I.S. 146 on 134th Street between Lenox Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd. I am walking down the hall from homeroom to first period maff. 好，開始了。一九八七年九月二十四號禮拜四，我走在走廊上。人模人樣，味道粉香── 又清爽又乾淨。天氣很熱，可是我還是穿著皮外套，我怕脫下來會給人家偷去。印第安夏天，威契老師說。我不知道他是按怎偏偏要用印第安。其實他的意思就是很熱，華氏九十度，跟夏天的天氣一樣。而且這棟他媽的鬼樓裡屁台，一台，我是說一台冷氣都沒有。我說的大樓當然是I.S. 146。在一三四街上，就是雷納克斯路和亞當．克雷頓．波威爾二世大道之間。我從班級教室出來，去上第一堂數學課。 Why they put some shit like maff first period I do not know. Maybe to gone 'n git it over with. I actually don't mind maff as much as I had thought I would. I jus' fall in Mr Wicher's class sit down. We don't have assigned seats in Mr Wicher's class, we can sit anywhere we want. I sit in the same seat everyday, in the back, last row, next to the door. Even though I know that back door be locked. I don't say nuffin' to him. He don't say nuffin' to me, now. 怎麼會有人把數學這種鬼東西排在第一堂課？大概是早死早超生吧。我其實並沒有想像中那麼討厭數學。我進去威契老師的教室坐下。威契老師班上沒有固定座位，隨便坐哪裡都可以。可是我每天都坐同一個位子，最後一排，靠後門。我知道後門有鎖上。我不搭理老師，他也不搭理我，暫時是這樣。 ^^^^^^^^^^（這裡好像翻錯，原文斜體now應該是指「後來」） First day he say, "Class turn the book pages to page 122 please." I don't move. He say, "Miss Jones, I said turn the book pages to page 122." I say, "Mutherfucker I ain't deaf!" The whole class laugh. He turn red. He slam his han' down on the book and say, "Try to have some discipline." He a skinny little white man about five feets four inches. A peckerwood as my mother would say. 第一天他說：「請翻到一百二十二頁。」我沒動。他說：「瓊斯小姐，我說翻到一百二十二頁。」我說：「恁祖媽又不是聾子！」全班哄堂大笑。他的臉孔漲紅，一巴掌用力拍在課本上，說：「請規矩一點。」他只是個瘦不啦嘰的白人，五呎四吋高而已，我媽要是看到他準會說他是啄木鳥。 I look at him 'n say, "I can slam too. You wanna slam?" 'N I pick up my book 'n slam it down on the desk hard. The class laugh some more. He say, "Miss Jones I would appreciate it if you would leave the room right NOW." I say, "I ain' going nowhere mutherfucker till the bell ring. I came here to learn maff and you gon' teach me." He look like a bitch just got a train pult on her. He don't know what to do. He try to recoup, be cool, say, "Well, if you want to learn, calm down─" "I'm calm," I tell him. He say, "If you want to learn, shut up and open your book." His face is red, he is shaking. I back off. I have won. I guess. 我看著他，說：「要比恰是吧？恁祖媽沒在驚啦！」說完，我也拿起課本，用力摔在桌上。全班笑得更厲害。他說：「瓊斯小姐，請妳立刻離開！」我說：「除非鈴聲有響，不然恁祖媽哪兒都不去。我是來上數學課的，你要給我教。」他那副樣子就像是被火車撞到的母狗。他不知道應該按怎。他想找台階下，冷靜下來，就說：「既然妳想上課，就鎮定下來──」「我很鎮定。」我跟他說。他說：「既然妳要上課，就閉嘴，把書打開。」他的臉很紅，全身發抖。我見好就收，反正我贏了。大概吧。話說我對原文有點意見連math都會拼成maff的人卻能拼對discipline和appreciate嗎XD ※ 引述《twister0809 (Please summer me)》之銘言： : 今天稍早看到歐普拉提薦的一本書"珍愛人生" : 馬上上博客來查詢，後來看到內文簡介 : 完全就不想買來看 : 這時讓我深刻提會到，譯者的重要性 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.166.194.195
