 Chapter 1
第1章
Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson have a pig named Mercy.
沃特森先生和沃特森太太家有头名叫梅西的猪。
Mr. Watson, Mrs. Watson, and Mercy live together in a house at 54 Deckawoo Drive.
沃特森先生、沃特森太太和梅西一起住在德克坞的一所房子里。
One Saturday afternoon, Mr. Watson said to Mrs. Watson, “My darling, my dear, there’s a movie at the Bijou called When Pigs Fly.”
一个周六的下午，沃特森先生对沃特森太太说，“亲爱的，亲爱的，宝石那儿在演电影呢，片名叫《当猪飞起来的时候》。”
“When Pigs Fly!” said Mrs. Watson. “What an inspiring title. Mercy, did you hear?”
“当猪飞起来的时候！” 沃特森太太说。“多吸引人的片名啊。梅西，你听到了吗？”
Mercy did not hear.
梅西没听到。
Mercy did not hear because Mercy was not listening.
梅西没听到，因为她根本就没在听。
“It says here that Bijou proudly serves real butter,” said Mr. Watson.
“这里说宝石以提供真正的黄油为荣，” 沃特森先生说。
“Oh, my,” says Mrs. Watson, “real butter.”
“哦！天啊！” 沃特森太太说，“真正的黄油。”

Mercy pricked up her ears.

梅西的耳朵竖了起来。

She was listening now.

现在她在听了。

Mercy loved butter.

梅西喜欢黄油。

She particularly loved butter on hot toast.

她特别喜欢热乎乎的烤面包片上的黄油。

But she would take butter anyway she could get it.

不过只要她能搞到，什么黄油她都喜欢。

这个系列俺家囡都是自己读的，我没有读。。我刚才问了她一下，她说题目的意思应该是说梅西是个小捣蛋吧。

第二贴里，黄油那段，我觉得BIJOU是个露天电影院吧？应该在翻译的时候解释明白，不然读者看到“宝石”两个字，糊里糊涂的。。

有关BUTTER，你要看一下下文，我的理解，应该是指爆米花的黄油。。刚问了一下囡，她说书里是你要了爆米花，然后人家问你会要多少BUTTER，然后给你撒上去。

大概是这个意思。。你自己查查书，囡看这套书已经很早前了。

还是提醒你，最好通读了全书再开始翻译。

“Yes,” said Mr. Watson, “it says here that the Bijou proudly serves real butter on every Bottomless Bucket of popcorn.”
“是的，”沃特森先生说，“这儿还说宝石以在每个无底杯爆米花上提供真正的黄油为荣。”
“Bottomless?” said Mrs. Watson.
“无底杯？”沃特森太太说。
“Bottomless,” said Mr. Watson, “which means ‘all-you-can-eat.’”
“无底杯，”沃特森先生说，“就是‘尽你所能吃’的意思。”

呵呵，看了下文就明白多了哈~~

卷毛头妈妈，翻译书，不能一段翻一段，那文字就是断节的，书就没有整体性了。

还有比如翻译题目，也得整个书读通了，才能想出合适的词。所以通常应该书名是最后才翻出来的。

如果你想做翻译练习，真的很建议你去找一些小短文来翻，幻想国置顶里有很多的网上资源的链接，有空可以找点自己喜欢的小文章小故事，来做翻译练习。

边译边请教：这里的concept 如何翻译？
“All you can eat!” said Mrs. Watson. “What a delightful concept!”.
“尽你所能吃！” 沃特森太太说。“多么令人高兴的概念！”
Mercy thought that all-you-can-eat was a very delightful concept.
梅西觉得尽你所能吃是个非常令人高兴的概念。
“Let’s go to the movies!” said Mr. Watson.
“我们到电影院去吧！” 沃特森先生说。
“Lets’!”said Mrs. Watson.
“去吧！”沃特森太太说。
“嗷嗷嗷！”
“Oink!”said Mercy.

“Well,” said Mr. Watson. “I think it is basically a movie about pigs flying.”

“别逗笑了，”尤姬娜·林肯说。“猪可不会飞。这是个比喻。”

“Don’t be ridiculous,” said Eugenia Lincoln. “Pigs don’t fly.  It’s a figure of speech.”

“什么是比喻？”沃特森先生问。

“What’s a figure of speech?” said Mr. Watson.

“片名，”尤姬娜说，“是比喻不可能发生的事情。”

“The movie title,” said Eugenia, “is a figure of speech signifying the impossible.”

再请教impossibly late是什么意思？
“嗯，”沃特森太太说，“再不走我们就会迟到的。”
“Well,” said Mrs. Watson, “we are going to be impossibly lateif we don’t get going.”
“您介意跟我们一起去看吗？”沃特森先生说。
“Would you care to join us?” said Mr. Watson.
“介意！”贝比·林肯说。
“Yes!” said Baby Lincoln.
“绝对不介意，”尤姬娜·林肯说。
“Absolutely not,” said Eugenia Lincoln.
“哦姐姐，”贝比说，“请您说介意。”
“Oh, sister,” said Baby, “please say yes.”

“No,” said Eugenia.
不过她还是上了沃特森家的敞蓬车。
But she got into the Watsons’ convertible anyway.

“It will be inspirational,” said Mrs. Watson.
“这只比喻！” 尤姬娜喊道。
“It’s a figure of speech!” shouted Eugenia.
“是不是以喜剧结尾？”
“Is it a movie with a happy ending?” said Frank.
“哦！一定是以喜剧结尾，”沃特森太太说。

“Oh, it must end happily,” said Mrs. Watson.

“我们能去不？” 斯黛乐说。

“Can we come, too?” said Stella.
