【你用對】動詞了嗎？
英文的動詞是句子的心臟，它可以代表動作、狀態，甚至決定時態。
中文同樣是「拿」，英文的bring 是拿來 (come here with)；take則是反方向而行，就像是閩南語說的「提去」(go there with)；fetch 則是離開這裡，去那裡拿回來，兼具「來去」雙向；而carry則沒有分來去的方向，強調「承載、攜帶」的意思。
用對動詞，說起英文鏗鏘有力

【謎底揭曉】在台灣丟一顆石頭都會打中瞎譯那話兒！
（那話兒：表示不正當或不雅的事。小說中常指人的性器官而言。也作「那樁兒」。）
繼教授譯者謝瑤玲把「現代的祕教者窮得很」(don't have two pennies to rub together)譯成「現代的祕教者並沒有兩根可以搓在一起的陰莖」(two penises)，繼教授譯者賴慈芸把「等文稿定案後，再找譯者來翻譯也不遲。」(after the job is done, fetch the translator)譯成「翻完之後，不要給譯者留活口」(after the job is done, kill the translator)之後，實在很難找到可以與之匹敵的胡譯瞎譯，直到最近，為了研究中英譯者如何處理「共匪」的英譯，為了暸解中譯「共匪」對應的英文原文是啥，竟然發現無敵的「丟一顆石頭……打中他那話兒」！
原文/中譯對照如下，應該有足夠的上下文讓有興趣一探究竟的讀者瞧瞧這誤會是怎麼發生的，歸納三個原因：
* 譯者想像力過於旺盛、
* 恍神或不用心，見樹不見林、
* 對原文文法不夠暸解，態度不對而輕忽之。
首先，「丟一顆石頭」的原文是 lob one （發射一個那個東西），那個東西指什麼？從原文脈絡明顯指向前兩句才剛剛說過的 tactical nuclear bombs （戰術核子武器），即使不說「發射一顆戰術核彈」，嫌太累贅，至少要譯成「發射一顆核彈」。
核彈怎會變石頭？譯者顯然查字典或Google了一下，發現動詞 lob （丟、投擲、發射）和 stone 還蠻常一起出現吧？！就給它「丟一顆石頭」下去了，用這種方式理解英文是不行的，one 必須指涉出現過的名詞概念，不然，one 也有「一個人」之意，但顯然「投擲/發射一個人到廁所」根本見鬼，所以譯者可能採取「消去法」，認定這one一定是個「東西」不是人，但也輪不到「石頭」來當the one啊！
其次，「打中他那話兒」的原文是 make sure I hit it，這裡跟前述的 one 一樣，有一個代名詞 it，同樣的，譯者又是對文法不夠尊重，想像力旺盛，從廁所就聯想到男人的那話兒，於是 it 就譯成「his private parts」（他那話兒），準備千古流芳了！但是各位有沒有注意到這個「解法」的矛盾和問題？中文「他那話兒」有一個「他」，他只能代表人，那這個他指涉誰？原文完全沒有出現「他」。譯者該不會希望讀者可以看出他的用意：用擬人法的譬喻，借用「男廁裡，他的那話兒」表達「克里姆林宮的機要位置」？這未免太扯，不太可能吧！這個 it 也指剛剛提過的東西，就是男廁嘛！
建議改譯：
……他曾說自己想要「發射一顆核彈瞄準克里姆林宮的男廁，而且一定要擊中」。
感謝幾位網友參與猜謎遊戲，請自行比對看看你猜中了多少。
這個寧可發揮天馬行空的想像力，也不要按部就班遵循基本英文文法思考所導致的爆笑誤譯，跟賴教授「不要給譯者留活口」的驚世之語，頗有異曲同工之妙：兩人皆是「語不驚人誓不休」（這正好也是書名）！
這樁兒事得來的教訓：
1. 把心用在理解原文和文法，這是翻譯首要的基本功，沒有之一，沒有替代的捷徑。Cue 一下賴教授。
2. 想像力無法控制，很危險，一定要謹記你的角色在哪，不要逾矩。
3. 再好的譯者（如這位陳信宏，中文文筆極佳，我注意欣賞已久，算是英倫哲學才子作家Alan de Botton的「欽定」譯者）都必定有盲點，都一定會出包。所以，任何翻譯都應該找有能力對照原文審核者來過目一次。這是對台灣出版社最衷心的建議。

//Goldwater, in his heart, believed that he was right. Right about the waste and distaste of the “welfare state” the Johnson administration had built. Right about the need for absolute military strength in the face of Soviet expansion. Right about a foreign policy that would make George Bush’s look downright friendly.
高華德內心深信自己是對的。他認為詹森政府建立的「福利國家」不僅揮霍資源，而且令人厭惡；他認為美國面對蘇聯的擴張，必須建構絕對的軍事實力；而且，他心目中的外交政策強硬至極，與他相比，連小布希都顯得太過友善。
Yes, Goldwater was an extremist and proud of it. His Republican convention acceptance speech is best remembered for the line “I would remind you that extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.”
的確，高華德是個極端主義者，並且以此為傲。他在共和黨代表大會上發表的接受提名演說當中，最令人難忘的一句話就是：「提醒各位，為了捍衛自由而採行的極端主義並非壞事。」
On the subject of foreign policy he was crystal clear about where he would lead the nation. Simply put: leave the United Nations and never look back, break off all relations with the Soviet Union, and use tactical nuclear bombs to fight communists in Vietnam and other Commie strongholds. Not surprisingly, many of his proclamations during the campaign were outrageous. He was quoted as saying he’d like to “lob one into the men’s room of the Kremlin and make sure I hit it.”
在外交政策方面，他清楚表明自己將會把國家帶往什麼方向。簡單說，就是毫不留戀地退出聯合國，斷絕與蘇聯的一切關係，並且利用戰術核子武器攻打越共以及其他共匪巢穴。不出意料，他在選戰期間提出的許多宣言都令人震驚。據傳他曾說自己很想「丟一顆石頭到克里姆林宮的男廁裡，打中他那話兒」。
Small wonder Johnson’s only concern was the extent of the landslide to come. The Democrats quickly seized upon Goldwater’s “let’s nuke ’em when we have the chance” philosophy and came up with their own unofficial slogan to counter “In Your Heart You Know He’s Right.” Their retort: “In Your Guts You Know He’s Nuts.” It didn’t stop there. Bumper stickers appeared with “Goldwater for Halloween” and “Vote for Goldwater and Go to War.”
難怪詹森不怕落敗，只怕贏得不夠多。民主黨緊抓高華德「一有機會就用核彈炸翻他們」的想法，故意惡搞他的口號：「你心知肚明這傢伙瘋了。」不只如此，當時還出現了不少保險桿貼紙，內容包括：「一票投給高華德，天天都是萬聖節」或者「想上戰場，就選高華德」。
To top it all off, the Johnson advertising team created the famous “Daisy” commercial. It showed a little girl plucking petals from a daisy as a nuclear countdown ends in a huge mushroom cloud explosion. President Johnson’s voiceover was, roughly, “vote for me or God help us all.”
此外，詹森的宣傳團隊還攝製了著名的「雛菊」廣告。畫面上只見一名小女孩在核彈攻擊倒數的同時拔著一朵雛菊的花瓣，倒數結束後，隨即轟然出現爆炸後的巨大蕈狀雲。詹森總統的旁白大致上是說：「請投我一票，不然只好祈求上帝保佑了。」//

从老公的角度看试管婴儿疗程
当一对夫妻要做 #IVF试管疗程时，做丈夫的应该用什么态度来面对？常常有网友告诉我说，我的老公精子不好，可是他还是不能戒烟戒酒，好不配合。要知道，不孕症不只是女人的责任，男人也是有责任。这篇文章，是以男人的角度出发，里面分享身为丈夫应该如何帮助太太一起度过疗程，文章是英文内容，是奥莉爸爸写的，奥莉爸不会中文。分享给大家😊
IVF Journey, A Husband’s Perspective
Hi all, before reading further I would like to say this is NOT an instruction or tips for IVF and hopefully readers will understand my poorly written English. This is my journey as a father of the IVF baby girl. Why am I sharing all this? It is because my wife had a Facebook page of her IVF journey at https://facebook.com/ivfjourney2015/ and she told me that majorities (not all but most) feedback indicate husband not supportive enough to commit into a journey of IVF. I’m not a true supportive husband either, least I made up my mind to make it happen.
Let’s start with “Why IVF?”
We went for a fertilization test and results with;
Husband: Teratospermia (Human language, sperm is weak for fertilization process)
Wife: Unexplained infertility (I think this is easy to understand, there is for the confirming reason for this result and we don’t go for further test after it because it will consumes too much time and money)
We married and planned to have children late 2011, both our ages were 37 in 2015 because of late marriage. My wife introduced IVF because she does not want to give up and feels regretful in future and so do I. Maybe because I did too many regretful things in the past, now I do not want this happened to my wife. At least I do it better then ignoring it.
Preparation for IVF
Financially, I know it will involve amount of 20k – 30k “Ringgit Malaysia” in the whole process depending on the situation and this is only one chance for me. I don’t have the money for a second attempt because I need to allocate funds for delivery if success.
Mentally, I do some studies/research on IVF. The whole journey took 50 days and in one of the process my wife needs to do a self-injection daily. I quickly asked my wife “Daily injection?! Do I need to fetch you to clinic daily to do this?” She answered “No, we need to do this ourselves”. A final question from me going to be “How?!” After we sat down and discuss, we comes into conclusion and I will do the injection for her. This was the most painful and nervous moment I ever experience by poking a needle to my wife’s belly EVERYDAY!
Lifestyle, 6 months earlier. My wife told me the NO’s, NO alcohol NO smoking NO midnight wandering NO stress. I said, I will fly up to the skies like butterfly if I able to do all the NO’s. It’s like a mission impossible. How can a man like me not go out to social with friends without alcohol and smoke? The joke was sleeping early! You want me to social with my friends in breakfast or lunch time? At this time, she softly said “I really wants to have a cute baby in future, it looks more like a family. Furthermore, I don’t want to have regretful moments in future”. All these words came out of my love (wife), her words melted in my heart deeply. I told her “Ok, we will go for it BUT you will need to promise me ONE IMPORTANT thing. No matter the process success or not we only have one attempt we need to accept the truth and live happily without regret in future.” she agreed.
Commitment, this is not some empty promise. I made a huge commitment to change my lifestyle into zero alcohol, tobacco and lesser stress. If comparing the pain and suffers my wife will take in this journey e.g., injection, medication effects, hormone changes and all the effects from pregnancies to delivery, mine looks more alike small potatoes (looks much more simple). Trust me guys, don't compare it, if you do and more likely you're going loose badly. For the sake of making a better future, I had fulfilled this commitment.
IVF Journey Phase 1 “Unskilled Husband Injection”
Day 1, doctor consults us for Buserelin injection. I need to inject this medication into my wife's belly each day sharp at 8AM. The nurse had guided me side by side to do the first injection.
Day 2, I started my first injection to my wife's belly without anyone guiding beside. Feels a bit nervous because this time I'm doing it all by myself. I try to hum some music to distract my wife's from looking at the needle while injecting but still she is looking at it.
Day 3 - Day 15, sometime the injection hurting and causes bleeding/bruise to her. I need to find a new spot to inject every time and sees her bruise makes my pain in the heart too. My injection skills improved dramatically. She even told me that she doesn't feel pain like the beginning stages.
Day 16, follow up 2nd checkup. Doctor said, everything goes smoothly and added another medication to inject called Gonal-F to take home and start injecting on day 23. This message never surprises me because I've been told earlier, but just that the price to pay for this medication is quite costly.
Day 17 - Day 22, nothing much on these days and we just stick on the plan as usual.
IVF Journey Phase 2 “Stressful Night”
Day 23, Gonal F injections start today. This needle doesn't look same as those earlier, it comes with medication in it and look like a pen.
Day 24 - Day 26, side effects of the Gonal F medications started. My wife is feeling irritation at the injection site, fullness, bloating and tenderness in the lower abdomen due to the increasing size of the ovaries. Her mood changes dramatically as I can tell, but she endures it and tell me she can handle it.
Day 27, follow up 3rd checkup. Doctor said wife has eggs total of 12 and is ready for Transvaginal oocyte retrieval "Human language, Egg retrieval" at day 31.
Day 28 - Day 29, final injection of Gonal F. At day 29 night, I inject Ovidrel to wife belly to that causes the growth and release of a mature egg (ovulation) for day 31.
Day 30, resting whole day. Finally, we had a day without injection and worrying about holding any needles. Today we wondering about the egg growth, not knowing will the eggs grow more or still the same amount of 12.
Day 31, egg retrieval. 8 egg success retrieves and I give out my sperm for oocytes selection on the same day. Wife given cyclogest for oval protection after the egg retrieval.
IVF Journey Phase 3 “Hopeful Embryo Culture & Embryo Transfer”
Day 32 - Day 35, rest at home. We had pillow talk every night concerning about the growth of an embryo. We also look at sample growth stages of an embryo from the web to see what the current growth stage is.
Day 36, another hopeful and nervous morning. Doctor tells us the result of embryo culture as below;
Total Embryo Retrieve: 8
Embryo Qualified for ICSI: 6
Embryo Success until Cleavage Stage (Day 2 – Day 4): 3
Embryo Success until Blastocyst Stage (Day 5): 2
Embryo Qualified / Recommended for Transfer: 1
Both our eyes looked at each other, knowing only 1 Blastocyst Embryo available to transfer and doctor tell the same after it. I really do not know how to express both our feelings into words here, as we expected to have at least 2 Blastocyst out of 8 embryos and only left 1. We both agreed to proceed this only 1 Blastocyst transfer as this is the only choice we had. It's more likely walking on a 100ft tall string with no supports mission, a single error will fail the mission.
After the transfer process, wife given a room to rest for few hours. A nurse came and give us adjunctive medications, injections and advice while resting at room.
IVF Journey Phase 4 “The Final Moment of IVF”
Day 37 - Day 49, after the transfer. This period is known as 2WW (2 Weeks Wait) with adjunctive medications, injections and be very careful. I just let her sleep/rest more on the bed, I served her every meal in the room. We're also nervous and curious about pregnancy results on day 44, we tested with cheap pregnancy tester and get got a double line on it and we do have a little hope and joy with this result. On day 47, again we test, but this time with expensive pregnancy tester and the results double line again! We're so hopeful and happy at this moment. We really hope this result is true until the next checkup.
Day 50, final checkup. My wife goes for the hCG test by giving a sample of blood, we waited 2 hours for the results. While waiting, nurse guide us to a room to rest. Wife slept and I sat beside concerned on the hCG test results. 2 hours later, the doctor invited us to look for him. Before doctor speaks, while we are sitting down, my wife's eyes were starring in the hCG results number and she spotted the hCG number is 452. She smiles happily while doctor tells her "You are pregnant and congratulations! Come back after 2 weeks to scan for baby heartbeats. And please go out to the counter and ring the bell!”
Just Sharing My Thoughts
By all means, I’m not bragging about my success. I would like to say if anyone is planning on IVF, teamwork is very important and husband play a very important role to increase the success rate. Sometimes, I do feel like a spectator than a participant myself because I never experience any of the medical exams but this is not true. Every injection I put on her belly, I feel the pain in my heart as bad as she has on the belly. Ok, nothing much to share in this IVF journey and next time I might be sharing another journey as a Father! Here is my little baby girl Facebook page奥莉 Olivia Baby - 梁童心心 https://fb.me/oliviababylove if you wish to see her growth updates.
End.
