由於X'MAS黎緊, 今期MILK 雜誌, 出了一本以沙田新城市廣場為主題的HOLIDAY ROMANCE特刊, 搵左我寫一篇過千字的ARTICLE.
寫文對我唔難, 但最難係MILK要我交一段用英文寫的個人介紹PROFILE, 以下係我一向的中文個人簡介:
'身為補習天王，為人卻不天王。 除了工作上必要的華麗裝束外，骨子裡卻樂善好施、心軟眼淺，能在極銅臭的補習界打滾生存既屬異數、也有天佑。
感情路上多番經歷，傷盡女人心, 在40歲時後大徹大悟，一心一意只對老婆好。結婚前後，以'張欣欣'名字開FACEBOOK專頁記下兩公婆的生活點滴，中間穿插一些個人看法，未料成為香港市民不少心靈雞湯，在充滿負能量的都市中，提供些微貢獻。'
嘩, 呢段文, 要我譯做得體既英文, 真係攞我命三千!
其實......我都曾經試下譯架:
'I am a tutor king, but in fact i am not a tutor king......I have good clothes, but in fact i am kind. I like crying......'
譯唔夠幾句, 我都覺得必定貽笑大方, 失禮死人!
正感到好無助之際, 咁小事又唔想驚動老闆AMANDA, 突然諗起我地公司有位英文導師叫LEO CHEUNG.
我用WHATSAPP SEND咗以上呢段中文PROFILE俾佢, 只見螢幕上不斷出現 '輸入中' 3個字, 估計佢在彼端正忘我地翻譯打字......
3分鐘後, 佢即SEND來以下呢段譯文:
A "tutor king" in Hong Kong, Yanyan is not tyrannical in life. Despite wearing flashy suits and a confident smile at work, Yanyan is benevolent and sentimental in real life. Blessed by god, Yanyan is one of the few people who can keep his innocence in the money-oriented industry.
Having been through ups and downs in relationships, Yanyan used to be a heartbreaker. At around 40, Yanyan experienced an epiphany calling for him to be faithful to his wife. Around the time when he got married, Yanyan started his Facebook Page "Cheung YanYan" to record the trivial matters of him and his wife. His insightful writing becomes the Chicken Soup for the Hong Kong's Soul, aiming to get rid of the negative energy in the city.
我只能說:
雞有雞味, 佢D英文好有英文味!
