i miss you so bad意味的八卦，YOUTUBE、PINTEREST、PTT、DCARD和Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

直到胖女人唱歌為止，它一直沒有結束，但是可悲的是，胖女人唱歌得太早了，脆弱的蝴蝶飛走了。

當我2000年在網上結識Charlene並打橋牌時，她是一位成功的女商人。她在網上訂購了許多法國和意大利產品，然後運往台灣，她嘗試了一切，她吃了任何東西，任何動物，水果或蔬菜的任何部分，食物都是她一生中很重要的一部分。 2000年我第一次在現實生活中遇見她時，她看上去就像電影明星。 2007年，這個女孩選擇放棄自己的生活，放棄了我們認為是家庭的最好的朋友，失去了她的工作，並賣掉了在台北的公寓與我同住。我告訴她：從現在開始，您將在餘生中度假，我信守諾言。

夏琳（Charlene）想要在荷蘭說些什麼，並開始在博客中建立新的個性，而不是利用她在台灣的名氣。她從零開始慢慢建立起來，如今在多個小組和平台中擁有超過213.000忠實的粉絲和追隨者。夏琳（Charlene）一直對旅行和歐洲美食感興趣，退休後的夢想是成為一名作家並住在屋頂傾斜的歐洲國家（尤其是法國或意大利）的房屋中。我們住在荷蘭一個不壞的公寓裡，屋頂平整，她非常喜歡這個溫馨的家庭。

在荷蘭，她開始寫烹飪書，在她變得更出名之後，一些出版商要求她翻譯書籍：例如尼吉拉·勞森，傑米·奧利弗和戈登·拉姆齊。即使在醫院進行重度化療時，她也一直在這樣做，甚至在她即將更正最新版本時也是如此。我們到了很多地方，都是隨機挑選的，只是四處逛逛，常常幾個小時都沒有遇到其他人或汽車。我們住在漂亮的公寓裡，大部分是在小城市和鄉村，或者在茫茫荒野中。我們看到了美麗的事物，吃了美味的食物，過著像本地人一樣的生活，輕鬆而又沉悶。

自2017年10月以來，我和我的蝴蝶夏琳女王（Charlene）戰鬥了三年多。她獨自在醫院的無菌室里呆了6個月，我們已經隔離了一年多。起初，我們似乎可以戰勝這些可怕的癌症。這次夏琳只想要一點運氣，但無濟於事。夏琳心地善良，總是對他人意味著最好，她努力工作，堅韌而甜美，從不抱怨，對生活中的小事感到滿意。

從2020年8月開始，我們在意大利度過了最後兩個假期。錫耶納（Siena）讓她感到非常高興，“我有史以來最好的假期”。她的夢想是去第二個假期，直到下一個生日，我擔心那是非常樂觀的。夏琳對我們無法前往法國普羅旺斯的呂貝隆感到失望，因為我們最初計劃了第二個假期，2003年我們在此度過了第一次假期。不幸的是，荷蘭政府突然宣布法國的許多地區為“橙色”，我們剛預訂後就因為高電暈風險而禁止進入。西班牙也在名單上：一個我從未訪問過的國家，她想向我展示，西班牙全是橙色。

她完成了五件事，這在以前似乎幾乎是不可能的：我們2020年5月1日成立20週年，以及兩次浪漫的意大利長假。第一次去意大利的錫耶納和她最喜歡的Val d'Orcia，第二次去意大利的Lago Maggiore的斯特雷薩，那裡她的身體明顯較弱，但仍然非常欣賞令人嘆為觀止的景色和9月的夏日天氣，由於水的問題，再次搬到錫耶納（Siena），這使她感到自己在第二故鄉，感到非常高興！最近，她是荷蘭公民12年，而13年前移居荷蘭。我敢/希望認為這是因為她感到幸福，安全和得到了照顧。她的最終目標是她的生日（12月16日），很遺憾，這太樂觀了。

我們很享受，我們吃飯，我們哭了，我們笑了很多，我們彼此珍惜，我們聊了很多小時，一切都說了，不後悔。我們是一個。夏琳（Charlene）擔心我成為一個人，一個人呆著，為失去她感到難過，我為她錯過的一切感到非常抱歉，希望她能和我們在一起更長的時間。我們比以往任何時候都更加緊密。我非常愛她，她將永遠在我心中，會非常想念她！我好寂寞。

將來我會回到我們一起去過的地方。從4月底到2021年6月初，我們在意大利計劃，預訂並支付了“在電暈之后慶祝/征服癌症假期”的費用。如果Corona允許我，我現在仍然想走，但是那是對未來的“遙遠”，吸取了Charlene和我們過去的所有假期，我可能會稍作更改。我們計劃了很多事情，所以對你們所有人：Carpe Diem！不要延遲或推遲您的目標，願望或清單。我會保留她的個人資料，並嘗試不時發布一些內容，我不能總是閱讀所有評論並回复它們，但放心，我會注意到它們。對於跟隨Charlene到公寓和飯店旅行的朋友：請提及她以保持生命，以免被遺忘。

如果您決定做出回應，請做出有意義的回應。不要有空洞，空洞，無所事事或宗教用語，否則請不要回應，我倆都很好，我知道你也會想念她。

It aint over till the fat lady sings, but sadly the fat lady sang too early and the fragile butterfly flew away.
When I met Charlene in 2000 online, playing bridge, she was a successful businesswoman. She ordered lots of French and Italian products online to ship to Taiwan, she tried everything, she ate anything, any part of any animal, any fruit or vegetable, food was an important part of her life. The moment I first met her in real life in 2000 to me she looked like a movie star. In 2007 this girl chose to give up her life, her best friends we consider family, her work and sold her apartment in Taipei to live with me. I told her: From now on you will be on a Holiday for the rest of your life and I kept my promise.

Charlene wanted to mean something in Holland and started to create a new personality in a blog, not using her fame from Taiwan. She slowly built it up from nothing and today has more than 213.000 loyal fans and followers in several groups and platforms. Charlene has always been interested in travel and European food and her dream after retirement was to become a writer and live in a house in a European country with a slanted roof, preferably in France or Italy. We lived in a not bad apartment in Holland with a flat roof which she loved so much, home sweet home.

In Holland she started to write cooking books, after she became more famous, she was asked by several publishers to translate books: Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay for instance. She has been doing this even when she was on heavy chemotherapy in hospital, even just before the end she was correcting the last version. We traveled to many places, randomly picked, just drove around, often not meeting any other person or car for hours. We stayed in beautiful apartments, mostly in small cities and villages or in the middle of nowhere. We saw beautiful things, ate fantastic food, lived life like a local, relaxed, but never a dull moment.

Charlene the truffle queen, my butterfly and I fought since October 2017 for more than three years. She has been in a sterile room alone in hospital for 6 months, we have been in quarantine for more than a year. At first it looked like we would conquer these horrible cancers. All Charlene wanted was a little luck this time, but to no avail. Charlene had a good heart and always meant the best for others, she worked hard, she was tough and sweet, she never complained, and she was happy with the little things in life.

From August 2020 we have been on our last two Holidays in Italy. Siena made her extremely happy, “My best Holiday ever” she said. Her dream was to go on a second Holiday and reach her next birthday, I was afraid that was quite optimistic. Charlene was disappointed we could not travel to the Luberon in the Provence in France, where we originally planned our second Holiday, where we had our first Holiday together in 2003. Unfortunately, the Dutch government suddenly declared many regions in France as “orange”, no go areas because of high Corona risks just after we booked. Spain was also on the list: A country I have never visited, and she wanted to show me, Spain was all orange.

Five things she accomplished, which earlier seemed nearly impossible: Our 20th anniversary May 1st, 2020 and two romantic long Holidays to Italy. The first to Siena, Italy and her favourite Val d’Orcia and the second to Stresa at Lago Maggiore, Italy where she was clearly weaker, but still immensely enjoyed the breathtaking views and the summery weather in September, where due to water problems we had to move, to Siena again, this made her feel at her second home, she was so happy! Recently she was a Dutch citizen for 12 years and moved to Holland 13 years ago. I dare/wish to think it was because she felt happy, safe and taken care of. Her final goal was her birthday (December 16th), unfortunately that was too optimistic.

We enjoyed, we dined, we cried, we laughed a lot, we cherished each other, we talked for many hours, everything has been said, no regrets. We were one. Charlene was worried for me to be and stay all alone and was sad for me losing her and I felt so sorry for all the things she missed out on, wished she would have stayed with us longer. We have been closer than ever before. I love her very much, she will always be in my heart, will miss her so much! I feel so lonely.

In the future I will go back to the places we have visited together. From the end of April till the beginning of June 2021 we planned, booked and paid an “after Corona, celebration / conquer cancer Holiday” in Italy. I now still want to go if Corona lets me, but that is “far” into the future, having learned from Charlene and all our past Holidays, I might change it slightly. We had planned so many things, so to all of you: Carpe Diem! Do not delay or postpone your goals, wishes or bucket list. I will keep her profile alive and try to post something now and then, I cannot always read all comments and reply to them, but rest assured, I will notice them. For the friends that follow Charlene’s travels to apartments and restaurants: Please mention her to keep her alive so that she will not be forgotten.

If you decide to respond, please respond meaningful. No hollow, empty, idle or religious phrases, else please do not respond at all, both are equally fine with me, I know you will miss her too.

一翻譯，意思就失落了。讀許多世界文學的英文譯本，許多譯者在前言都會解釋：例如，普希金的詩，在俄文中，原來有一股俄文才體現出來的磅礡，一經英譯，原意多少就失落了。不是譯者筆拙，而是兩種語文，畢竟如兩個人的性格，要把他們匹配在一起，無論怎樣水乳交融，總有些字眼傳遞的感覺，是英文無法表達的。

Lost in Translation，是一個翻譯家無法訴說的遺憾。原文含蓄百轉千迴，話中有話，意外別有洞天，他十分清楚，但翻譯的搜索枯腸，確實找不到心心相印的字眼。此中有真意，欲說已無言，翻譯家常常有這樣的痛苦，不是不精通外文，而是翻譯時多方尋覓還是無法搭得上電線。

例如：中文一句：「捨不得啊」，怎樣英譯呢？ Cannot afford？太冰硬了。 Miss it very much？也不是這個意思。中文的「依依不捨」，一硬譯成英文，原文的那股纏綿繾綣的意思就失落了，這就叫 Lost in translation。

還有，從前的中國少女，向男人撒嬌，一跺腳，喜歡說：「我不依你」。「我不依你」，有千般的嗲氣，萬分的嫵媚，在輕罵之中，帶有像絲一樣的溫情，不可能英譯，這是語文的一種奇特的意態，再高手的大師，在外文也找不到一項言詞的配混。

還是英文和法文之間比較易溝通。大量的法語詞彙，直接入侵英文，像 Deja-vu，乾脆用法文原文入英，市場不干預 Laissez-faire，法文最先發明，今天已無國界。連開演唱會，最後一句 Encore，也必定由千萬歌迷狂呼高喊才有地動山搖的震撼，用英語叫 Again，或者 Once more，不行，這就叫 Lost in Translation。

人世間的溝通，常有百詞莫辯的時候。一個詞彙的精緻，一碟小菜的美味，還有一個女人的溫柔，該怎樣來傳遞而表達呢？花能解語，但語不可詮花，一切的美感都凝聚在舌尖， Lost in Translation，是一種酥在骨子裡的痛苦。惟有經歷過這樣的折磨，才明白這世界，不止翻譯是徒勞，有時溝通也是白費，真情幻意的妙諦，盡在意會之中。

Original text by Ernest Hemingway:
“You better be fearless and confident yourself, old man,” he said. “You’re holding him again but you cannot get line. But soon he has to circle.”
The old man held him with his left hand and his shoulders now and stooped down and scooped up water in his right hand to get the crushed dolphin flesh off of his face. He was afraid that it might nauseate him and he would vomit and lose his strength. When his face was cleaned he washed his right hand in the water over the side and then let it stay in the salt water while he watched the first light come before the sunrise. He’s headed almost east, he thought. That means he is tired and going with the current. Soon he will have to circle. Then our true work begins.
After he judged that his right hand had been in the water long enough he took it out and looked at it.
“It is not bad,” he said. “And pain does not matter to a man.”
He took hold of the line carefully so that it did not fit into any of the fresh line cuts and shifted his weight so that he could put his left hand into the sea on the other side of the skiff.
“You did not do so badly for something worthless,” he said to his left hand. “But there was a moment when I could not find you.”

張愛玲譯：
「老頭子，你還是顧你自己吧，你也得勇敢，有自信心，」他說。「你沒讓他掙脫，但是你收不回釣絲來。但是他不久就得要轉圈子了。」
老人現在用他的左手和肩膀來拉住他，他彎下腰來用右手掬起水來，洗掉他臉上糊著的稀爛的鯕鰍肉。他怕那腥氣會使他作嘔，他一嘔吐，就沒力氣了。他臉洗乾淨了，又把右手伸在船邊的水裏洗了洗，然後就讓它泡在那鹽水裏，同時他注視著日出前天剛剛亮起來的情景。他是差不多朝東走，他想。可見魚是疲倦了，跟著潮流走。不久他就得轉圈子了。然後我們真正的工作就開始了。
他認為他的右手泡在水裏時間夠長了，就把它拿出來，朝它看看。
「不壞，」他說。「疼痛是不礙事的，並不傷人。」
他小心地握住那釣絲，使它不至於嵌進新割破的地方，他向另一邊倚著，使他可以在船那一邊把左手插到水裏去。
「你這無用的東西，這次成績倒還不錯，」他對他的左手說。「但是起初有那麼一會子我找不到你。」

藍婷譯：
「你還是自己勇敢一些，對自己要充滿信心才是、老頭。」他對自己說：「你現在只能握住繩子，可是你還不能收回繩子。相信他很快就會繞圈子了。」
老人現在用左手和肩膀撐住繩子，彎下腰用右手掬起水來，洗掉臉上糊成一團的肉渣，他很怕那腥味會使自己作嘔，只要一嘔吐，就會沒力氣了。他把臉洗乾淨，又把右手伸到船邊的水裏洗一洗，然後就讓他泡在鹽水裏，並注視著太陽升起之前的第一道曙光，魚幾乎是朝東方前進，他想，這表示牠已經很疲倦了，所以只好順著海流前進。相信等一會牠就會開始轉圈子，到那時候我們便要一決勝負了。
他認為他的右手在水裡泡得夠久了，於是便把他拿回來瞧一瞧。
「還不算壞嘛！」他說：「疼痛並不礙事，也算不了甚麼。」
他小心地握住繩子，使它不致於又磨擦新割破的地方，然後，把繩子向另一邊轉移一下，以便左手可以在船的另一邊放進海水裏面。
「你這沒用的傢伙，你還不算太差勁！」他對著自己的左手說：「不過有一陣子我差點找不到你。」

楊照譯：
「你自己最好甚麼都不怕，充滿自信，老傢伙，」他說：「你又掌握住他了，不過你沒辦法把線拉回來。不過很快地，他得繞圈圈。」
老人用左手和肩膀掌握那魚，彎下身舀水在右手，把臉上黏著的海豚魚肉洗掉。他擔心魚肉讓他噁心，一旦吐了會失去力量。臉乾淨了，他將右手伸出船沿進到水裡，然後讓手留在鹹水裡，看著太陽升起前最早的光線出現。他幾乎是朝東了，他想。這意味著他累了，所以順著洋流游。很快地他就得繞圈圈了。那樣真正的活兒就開始了。
他判斷右手在水中夠久了，他把手拿出來，盯著手看。
「還不壞，」他說：「疼痛對一個男人來說不算一回事。」
他小心地握住釣線，避免碰到新割的傷口，然後移動重心，以便能夠將左手從小船的另一邊放進海中。
「你這次還算蠻有用的，」他對左手說：「但有一陣子我找不到你。」

直到胖女人唱歌為止，它一直沒有結束，但是可悲的是，胖女人唱歌得太早了，脆弱的蝴蝶飛走了。

當我2000年在網上結識Charlene並打橋牌時，她是一位成功的女商人。她在網上訂購了許多法國和意大利產品，然後運往台灣，她嘗試了一切，她吃了任何東西，任何動物，水果或蔬菜的任何部分，食物都是她一生中很重要的一部分。 2000年我第一次在現實生活中遇見她時，她看上去就像電影明星。 2007年，這個女孩選擇放棄自己的生活，放棄了我們認為是家庭的最好的朋友，失去了她的工作，並賣掉了在台北的公寓與我同住。我告訴她：從現在開始，您將在餘生中度假，我信守諾言。
