（我终于还是发了）
汉语的对于词性和时态之类在字面上的变化，比起创作中很流行的西方语言要少。如果随便用网络汉英词典查出几个词扔进去的话，被稍有该语言知识的人看到就只会丢人现眼而已。最近在原创区和群里都吐了不少这样的槽（就不举例了=。=），感觉有进行广域警告的必要。
以下是我用英文重写的触手骑士开头一小段。虽然基于文化差异，某些部分不可能完全翻译，但自认还是能表达原意的，而且是以语法错误极少的形式。相比翻译他人的作品，对于自己文章的意思自己应该是最清楚的，从而在选择词语等方面的难度也应该会降低。如果还是觉得没有能力作出这样的处理，就还是尽量少用外来语，而且特别是在标题这种相当于文章脸面和第一印象的地方——有人连自己名字都写错的话，别人会觉得这人没文化吧。
省得丢人。
Tentacled Rider Lovecraft
Ep1 Gloom! Claws from the Darkness
"Hey! Did you read the new chapter?"
"Yeah. XX is actually one of OO's cronies! Who could've imagined..."
"No problem, YY is already on the Holy Swordmaster level. Not even 10 XXs could beat him!”
Since I walked through the school gate, the air’s been full of conversation like this. In a futile attempt to cover it all, I turned my ipod up, AGAIN.
"Don’t you forget to vote for him!”
"Sure. Who could do five updates a day, after all?”
Go vote ur mom. Five updates a day, what kind of rushed sh*t could come from that? Even essays would take a week to finish. Of course, you can only say this to yourself. These stuff are all that people talk about these days, even in the classroom. Someone saw me coming in, and came right towards me.
"Hey Uncle Rong. Don’t you want to even try this? It’s HOT these days, man. Here, look at this one.”
"Negative. Don’t call me Uncle either. Do I really look that old?” That book had a picture of Mobile Fighter Gandam on its cover, combined with the title which font doesn’t really fit. Cheap rip-off, I would say. I shoved it aside, and felt a tug on my sleeve.
"Don’t be sooooo harsh! Aren’t we friends?”
Yeah, friends, once upon a time. We’ve been playing along since kindergarten. I used to have many friends in this class, but we lost everything in common since those came into fashion. I hated those books, or things that can barely be called books. I couldn’t get angry with this guy who’s been my friend for so long, however.
"Hey Uncle. Come, tell me something about this question. I raided too hard last night and didn’t read at all.”
Nice timing, Mullet! I tried to show the guy a face full of “Sorry, next time” and rushed to Mullet’s desk, seeing that the page on his open notebook is quite full of work.
"Don't worry, I'll try to convince him! Is that one called Robot Wars: Star Legends?” What a brilliant smile, as if he was really going to do that. Well, I could never get along with people that well. He became friends with the whole class in less than week after transferring from abroad. Of course, he reads those stuff too, but there's no sign of him being addicted. That's why he could get me out of situations like this from time to time.
"Ring~~~~"
People returned to their seats as the bell went off, their faces full of disappointment due to their "heated discussion" being disrupted. Well, I hated reading time, but I hated the noise even more.
The guy who showed me the book was reading it, hiding it under his desk and paying no attention to the textbook. About one third of the class was doing the same. Out of the two thirds left, one third clearly didn't have their minds on the textbook either, perhaps thinking about the stories? Among people reading the textbook aloud, strange voices began to rise in volume.
"He slowly unbuckles ZZZ's......"
"%^$%&^&*(No, I don't know how to translate this. If I knew I would be doing an English version I would have used Abracadabra instead), Hyper-Charged Eye of DOOM!!!"
"We have three continents on this world, on which lay fourteen countries, and there are seventy-two stars in the sky."
My eyes met with those of our elderly teacher at the lectern. We both sighed, shook our heads, and smiled, bitterly. |

，但如果用在关键位上……那几乎等于找死。
