于是今天试着自己翻译了一段
Frozen For One Hundred Years
Chapter one: Wake Up
I pushed a lid in front of me, and try to get out of the container. I realize myself is standing in a broken and messed room that looks like an old lab, dusts and spider nets are everywhere...
"Hello? Is someone else here? What the hell is this place?" My body is naked, I am scared and yelling, but I can only hear the echo of my own voice, some dusts are dropping by shaking...
I have on idea why I am here, I remember that I went to Kyoto and assassinated the Japanese Consular for the DIAOYU Island incident. I should have been judged by death penalty, why I am still alived?
I am considering, and standing in this dark lab which is surrounding by so many high technical facilities. My head is ache...
Wow, I remembered. After the judgement, I ate my last dinner in the jail, two people in white came to my room and gave me an injection, and then I started to sleep, why I am here when I wake up? Where are they?
I cannot remember anything more, my headache is killing me.I feel really uncomfortable for this environment, I am so hungry...
.........
于是, 主角还没走出实验室, 我先崩溃了.
在翻译的时候,时态是最大的难点之一.因为历史,回忆与现况交错,所以在不断斟酌着哪些用过去时还是哪些用现在时.而主角在作每一个动作或者在某一刹那间发生的事(比如在尖叫得同时灰尘掉下来),就要用正在进行时.但是很多地方发现,必须要把中文里习惯性省略的动作细节补上.
比如第一句为例,原文是推开了容器盖子,然后发现自己身处在一个实验室里.因为中文中没有时态概念,而且当中爬出来的一个动作被省略了.英文中直接翻译会让人感觉很奇怪,比如我推开容器盖子,醒来发现...人家就想:废话,难道推开的时候你在梦游阿?推开了盖子,如果不加上爬出来的动作,就会让人觉得主角是站在这个容器的里面朝外面看,可在容器里怎么环顾实验室四周?所以我就加上了爬出来这个动作.于是三个动作在同一句话里便发生了冲突.于是推开的动作为最先,用过去时,爬出来是一般时,爬出来以后意识到自己正站在一个实验室,这又是两个动作.意识到则是一般时,自己正站在哪儿是一个状态, 所以用现在时.
英文翻中文容易,中文翻英文难啊

And I looked around, found that the door is not far away, it is a sealed door. Wait. The darkest place, how can I see all about? I'm sure this is a sealed room, with no trace of translucent objects out of standby power supply, and all around striking and, let me clear look in the eyes. My brain suddenly once again into the crash, when this ability? I stood up, looked around for all to puzzle things, except in the cupboard, I saw the name " publicity " and a number of " H9527 ", and the corner a skeleton next to the scattered some notebooks and data files.
