Description <<無雙5>>短漫上篇。

下篇: [link]

雖說英文是DA的主流語言,但這次的題材是三國,用英文來寫好像既不貼切,也有點不倫不類。一想到無雙中丞相會譯成 Prime Minister, 我就不禁笑噴。這篇短漫,還是用回中文,再加翻譯好了。

對於孔明先生,我一向既尊敬又心疼。他為了一個弱小的蜀國操碎了心,為的只是報劉備當年的三顧之恩,結果奔波半生,終究鬱鬱而死。

無雙雖一向劇情欠奉,但無雙!孔明像要繼承那種「出師未捷身先死,長使英雄淚滿襟」的悽愴,每一集都拖著病奄奄的身軀為劉備平天下,然後不是累得倒下,便是當真掛掉(明明是諸葛亮傳,結局居然是諸葛亮死掉了啊......!)。不過在無雙的世界中,他起碼能在撒手塵寰前平定天下。

無雙5的劉備不但看上去年輕了,理想家的氣息也很濃厚。我想他一定真心相信,諸葛亮是一定會好起來的,所以才有與孔明一起賞桃花之約。

但現實可不是這麼一回事呢 ^^

=========================================
A Dynasty Warriors 6 comic, part I out of II. In which Zhuge Liang tells his lord a white lie.

Part II: [link]

Since Dynasty Warriors is a story set in feudal China, translating it into English feels a little awkward and...not to the point. Terms like "Prime Minister Zhuge Liang", though technically correct - he *is* the Prime Minister to King Liu - still weird me out a bit. I think it best that the comic is written in Chinese. Still, have a sloppy English translation.

[Liu Bei:]

1- Look, Zhuge Liang, the peach blossoms around here are in full bloom.

2- With the war over, the very earth seems to have regained its vitality.

3- We should invite the others to watch the blossoms together in the coming year

4- ...don't you think so?


[Zhuge Liang:]

5- The coming year...you say?

6- (Sir, please be straightfoward with me.)

7- (I haven't got much time left, have I?)

[Doctor:]

8- Prime Minister......!!

Damn. The traditional Chinese made my already slow reading speed even slower.

Man! Why? Why? Why did you have to write it in Traditional Chinese! I only know how to read some words!

Anyway, great job with the artwork. Also, your translations are pretty good.
