Survival by swindle, in all the hustle and bustle Nov 25, 2020

《斗不过你靠忽悠》

娱乐形式随潮流,东斗鸡来西斗牛。
只要逗得众人乐,胜负双方皆高手。
古人斗茶称为雅,今日官场靠斗酒。
平民百姓斗个啥,街头巷尾满雀友。
名嘴主播斗书法,文人骚客数衔头。
名媛比包儿斗爸,小三不顾老男丑。
云南普洱藏虫草,云里雾里炒轮流。

In gusts halved grass cabins are shattered,
Inside the other may have loner drowsed.

门外片尘飞不起。
嫩绿新蒲,杳霭江湖意。
倘许移家来画里。
一廛请隶无怀氏。

No speck of dust outdoor could swirl,
In the water’s way fresh weeds swell.
I’d beg to be, is my clan allowed to settle in the idyll,
A dogsbody for a plot from old Ruler the Unmindful.

[To the tune] Die lian hua, “Butterflies Love the Flowers”

Bones of rock, jutting upwards,
startling as they surge from ground
A thousand feet of twisting vines,
Coiling cliffs with force of writhing dragons!
Half a thatched hut, left standing after battering by wind
Inside must be a recluse sleeping.

Outside the gate now
flies not one speck of dust
New reeds grow, tender green—
And dark mist hides a sense of river, lake.
May I move to live inside this painting,
A plot within the realm of Never Care

靜听一席话,胜喝三杯茶。
江湖凭竞技,立命靠文化。
武艺十八般,兵器何必大。
日练臻完善,不怕巨毋霸。
翻译亦江湖,分科成专家。
愿这一江水,养龙留鱼虾。

D.S.2020.1127.a

去年大约是这个时候,我跟一位喜欢收藏书画的朋友聊天时问及国内现在美术界的状况如何有哪些新秀。他总结说:画得越来越不像,牛逼吹得梆梆响。
他尽管对翻译毫无兴趣,但也礼貌性地反问我你们这一行的情况怎么样。我跟他说现在翻译市场已经无所谓国内国外的了,国内的翻译可以直接拿到海外订单,并且有的完全能够胜任,问题是鱼龙混杂的情况很普遍。为了想说个明白,我想起他中学时体育比较好,就说跟你这么说吧:(现在的翻译界)“是十项全能的翻译公司到处在找五项全能的翻译。”

他马上就懂了,后来我自己回味一下,现状还真是这么回事。

欣赏完张静红副教授的这篇视频,我希望有人能像她这样做一个翻译行业的社会学调查,也许够拍几部电影的。

Talking about acquired taste Dec 5, 2020

《妄谈“新老江湖味”,粗茶淡饭命所依》

雀友满座茶馆赚,攀比跟风就是帅。

《妄谈“新老江湖味”,粗茶淡饭命所依》

雀友满座茶馆赚,攀比跟风就是帅。
炒作最求物稀罕,活的虫草谁能见。
上当一遭算聪明,几次三番属笨蛋。
投机笑作生意经,童叟无欺成夜谭。
自然人文皆环境,清理也许好几代。

D.S.2020.1205.a

所谓 acquired taste 是原本不为人所喜,后来慢慢养成了习惯,到头来反而以此为乐的某种嗜好。比如啤酒,初次尝到应感苦涩,喝多了就成“老江湖”了,能分辨什么是 lager,什么是 pale ale; 所以 acquired taste 应该翻译成“新老江湖味”,即由一回生,两回熟,三回欲求得其所所得来的。除了云南西藏,内地喝普洱茶的应该都属于新老江湖。2007年丽江行之前我只喝绿茶(龙井、碧螺春之类的),偶尔喝点红茶(能记住的是祁门红)。有位开茶馆的朋友听说我要去丽江,就把店里的几种普洱茶拿出来泡,想让我动身之前给我上一堂课。他让江西来的小服务员煞有其事地摆开了茶道表演,然后问我这三五种里面哪种最好。品尝一番之后,我根本分不出好坏,就指着一盘迷你饼说这个看样子不错。

“味道哪个好?”他问。

我直白地用家乡话跟他说:“我觉得味道也是这些小饼好啊,其它的都像烂木头”。

他十分扫兴地说“这种小饼是普洱里面最粗的茶,卖10个也用不了10元钱。”

江西小服务员插嘴道:“刚才你没喝完就倒了的那种最贵,要上千元一斤!”

我:“......? 还是请你给我来杯龙井吧!”

(我心想他们所谓的‘最好’就是‘最贵’的意思,这大约是在2007年四月底五月初。)

至今为止,我尝到过的最好的普洱茶是在云南丽江的玉龙旅社;店老板就叫李玉龙。因为跟李老先生谈话投机,他便拿出好茶来款待我。他说他也当过翻译,那是1950年代初西南剿匪时帮解放军与当地纳西族之间沟通。国民党残余部队逃离到当地后情势变得十分复杂。当时少数民族的土司头人大多也是拥有民团枪支的。十几年后的文革期间又被自治区调用去帮前来的毛泽东思想宣传队做翻译。(听起来后来的那些内容比剿匪时真枪真炮还难翻译。)他还说以前有个叫洛克的美国人在这儿住了几十年,小屋还在不远的山坡上......

雪山脚下喝普洱,同是天涯翻译人。
谈到不觉老少时,撕张日历作诗文。

我云南之行带回来的几样土特产包括:爬玉龙雪山时从半山腰上买来的一包‘冬虫夏草’大约是150g (不敢吃),普洱大饼一个(味道一般,懒得掰),还是最便宜的那三条迷你小饼(30个)当年就吃完了,连包装纸留下一颗舍不得吃(现在找不到了)。今后能不能买得起真正好的普洱,恐怕就看关税了。

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (Dolly Parton)



I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't hear me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep


Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

That "15%" got messed up Dec 9, 2020

《百分之十五,真叫拆烂污》

(原标题)
特朗普:听说我们新冠感染率接近15%,太棒了2020-12-09 10:31:55 来源: 国是直通车

???

早起看新闻,触目一惊心。
这趟直通车,踩错了油门?
标题如飙车,捕风又捉影。
但愿只是听力不行,
千万不可危言耸听。
英文=疫苗分配人口比例。
中文=受感染者新冠疫情。
轻则一笑处之,重则延误军情。
看来翻译错了,真的要命!

《修复后的洛克故居》

我看到的那个跟洛克有关的景点只是一简易小棚,在“玉水寨”内。边上竖一石碑,看了粗糙的碑文才知道这里曾经是洛克活动的地方。也许只是他的“野外作业站”之一即 one of his field stations.

也许我2007年去丽江时真正的洛克故居还没修复,是后来重建的。不过这个院子内的气氛很像我当年入住的“玉龙旅社”。初看这张照片,像是有人偷拍了李老先生与我在喝茶聊天......。他的院子在古城内,比这小,但建筑风格属典型的当地民居,古色古香,爬藤火红,盆兰满架。但是我想当时肯定还没有那么多的摄像头。

安得疫苗千万支,先给天下护士壮胆识,临危不惧安如山。
雷神火神一起轰,哐当!今日疫苗得普及,人类闯过鬼门关。
