後來我查資料發現那本書有德文版,馬上買了德文版來看,想說參考一下德文版到底是怎麼翻譯的,用我學了一年多的破德文勉強看一下。以前曾經用這種方式參考過其他書的日文或法文版,覺得有些地方別的語系譯得挺好的。
幾年前翻譯風之名一二集時,作者為二十幾國的譯者建立了一個討論社群,讓大家發問及討論,那時和大家討論也覺得收穫很多。
不過,這本書的德文版不看還好,看了發現德文版就是把難譯或模糊不清的地方直接跳過不譯,我也好想跳過不譯啊啊啊啊啊,看來只好聯繫作者了。
I don’t wanna ‘lean in.’ I wanna lie down. I think feminism is the worst thing that ever happened to women. Our job used to be no job. We had it so good. We could have done the smart thing; which would have been to continue to playing dumb for the next century… And then all of these women had to show off and say ‘We can do it, we can do anything!’… They ruined it for us. Now, we’re expected to work.”… A lot of women get very upset with me about those comments. And they’re like ‘Ali we have so many more options now!’ Oh you don’t think we had a lot of options when our day was free? Unscheduled, unsupervised, and most importantly: sponsored?… A lot of my friends, when we walk around together, get very judgmental when we see a housewife… I’m like ‘that b*tch is a genius. She’s not a housewife, she’s retired.
The reality is, Silicon Valley capitalism is very simple:
Investors are people with more money than time.
Employees are people with more time than money.
Entrepreneurs are the seductive go-between.
Marketing is like sex: only losers pay for it.
"My friend's mom has eaten healthy all her life. Never ever consumed alcohol or any "bad" food, exercised every day, very limber, very active, took all supplements suggested by her doctor, never went in the sun without sunscreen and when she did it was for as short a period as possible- so pretty much she protected her health with the utmost that anyone could. She is now 76 and has skin cancer, bone marrow cancer and extreme osteoporosis.
My friend's father eats bacon on top of bacon, butter on top of butter, fat on top of fat, never and I mean never exercised, was out in the sun burnt to a crisp every summer, he basically took the approach to live life to his fullest and not as others suggest. He is 81 and the doctors says his health is that of a young person."昨天在網路上看到這一段,雖然是節錄自基努‧李維的帳號,但我記得他是不上網的,所以我懷疑這段話真的是他說的。
