四、12. 不吐不快：翻譯參考

「as you know, i’m lily li’s homeroom teacher, as well as ariel liu’s language tutor. i know clearly my responsibilities and obligations. i have already manifested, not just once, i am fully aware of being obligated to do what i have to do, and ready to take any practical measures—and even assist in taking legal actions, provided my presence is necessary. this committee, nevertheless, kept hindering me from fulfilling my duty. and now, president, your honor, is here. i would like to reiterate my disappointments to all of you—」

「誠如各位所知，我是李敏寧(lily)的導師；同時是劉可蓉(ariel)的英語指導老師。我十分清楚自己的責任與權責。我已明確表示，且不只一次，充分理解自己該做的事、責無旁貸；并且，準備好採取任何實際行動──要是採取法律動作，亦會從旁協助，如果本人必須在場。本委員會，縱使我已再三聲明，仍不斷妨礙我履行職責。既然現在，校長，女士，您在場。我想重申：『對你各位大失所望──』」

==================================================================

「get yourselves an interpreter, then—i don’t care—what i have to say i say it out loud and clear. and those who got my point got my point—whichever language i speak in, 老師。only if you choose to listen, not to once again hush me by shouting and hissing──ah-uh, here we go again—now please, let me continue . . .」

「自己去請個通譯嘛──才不管咧──我該說的話，就大聲、清楚講出來。懂的就懂──管我講哪國話，老師。只要你各位專心聽，而不是在那邊，又要叫囂、又要噓，要我閉嘴──啊、哦，又來了──拜託幾類，讓我講完……」

==================================================================

「the whole incident just reminds me of j. d. salinger’s famous novel, the catcher in the rye. one particular passage i want to share with all of you—and i assure you: it deserves your attention. now, bear with me—it goes like this:

「整件事讓我想到j. d. 沙林杰的著名小說，《麥田捕手》。其中一段短文，特別想分享給你各位──向各位保證：絕對值得各位專心聽講。那好，麻煩各位耐下性子──短文如下：」

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

「‘i keep picturing all the little kids playing some game in this big field of rye. thousands of little kids. nobody&#039;s around - nobody big, except me. and i&#039;m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. what could i have to do, i have to catch every little kid if they start to run toward the cliff—if they&#039;re running and they don&#039;t look where they&#039;re going, i have to come out and catch them. that&#039;s all i do all day. i&#039;d just be the catcher in the rye. i know that sounds crazy, but that&#039;s the only thing i will have to be.’」

「『我一直在想像，所有小朋友在一座大麥田里玩耍。好幾千個小孩。沒人在看──沒大人，就我。然后，我就站在扯到爆的懸崖邊。該怎辦？我就得接住每個小朋友，要是他們跑起來，衝向懸崖──要是他們顧著亂跑，都不看跑去哪，我就得跳出來，接住他們。整天這樣搞就飽。我就負責當麥田捕手。我知道聽起來扯到爆，但就只有這件事，我得去做?！弧?

「let me tell you, my peer and respectful senior members, how regretful i am, right now, right here, to have to attend this pointless meeting; not because i have to play the little game with you weaklings, or because i have to sit in this meeting room, discussing some insignificant issues over ‘the school’s prestige’ or the so-called ‘measures to the current pr crises’ and waste my time—oh-oh—

「我來跟你講，各位同仁以及尊敬的長輩同事，我很后悔；此時、此刻，被要求『得』出席這場毫無意義的會議；不是說，我得陪你各位懦夫扮家家酒；也不是說，我得坐在會議室里，討論某些無關緊要的事項，比如說，『校譽，』或者說，所謂的『應對當前公關危機的舉措，』之類的，然后『浪費我的時間！──』喔、喔──」
