你覺(jué)得日本有很多成年人看漫畫(huà)書(shū)很奇怪嗎

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論漫畫(huà)，
 
你覺(jué)得日本有很多成年人看漫畫(huà)書(shū)很奇怪嗎
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: A lot of Japanese adults read comic books. Do you find that strange at all? You said you read comic books too but I know in the United States, we think it's strange if you see an adult reading a comic book. Is it because the stories are different or because are you reading the same kind of story you would when you were a kid.
 
日本有很多成年人都看漫畫(huà)書(shū)。你會(huì)覺(jué)得這很奇怪嗎？你說(shuō)過(guò)你也看漫畫(huà)書(shū)，不過(guò)我知道，在美國(guó)我們認(rèn)為成年人看漫畫(huà)書(shū)是件奇怪的事情。是因?yàn)楣适虏灰粯?，還是因?yàn)槟阈〉臅r(shí)候已經(jīng)看過(guò)類似的故事了？
 
B: OK, to answer the first part of your question, when I first came over as a high school student in Japan I was quite shocked by how prolific comic books were throughout all layers of society. I did not expect adults to read comic books, nor did I expect there to be comic books focusing on Japanese history, world history, cooking, what have you where you can actually learn useful information through a comic. I guess my understanding of a comic at the time was just sheer pleasure, Superman or Spiderman, it's something that you grow out, sort of like pimples. You grow out of it. But nowadays in the U.S. I think Japanese comic books have become more popular. Of course more adults save rare comics than kids. I mean, right, it's a pretty big. You can make a lot of money if you have really old comics. And I think Japanese comic books are starting to help the domestc comics in the United States, by making it OK for adults to read comics because they can say listen this can be a satire of modern day society, or this may speak to me because it's about homosexual issues, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
 
我先回答第一個(gè)問(wèn)題，我剛來(lái)日本上高中時(shí)，對(duì)于日本社會(huì)各個(gè)階層都熱衷于看漫畫(huà)這件事感到非常震驚。我沒(méi)想到成年人也看漫畫(huà)書(shū)，而且我也沒(méi)想到還有與日本歷史、世界歷史、烹飪等內(nèi)容有關(guān)的漫畫(huà)書(shū)，你可以通過(guò)漫畫(huà)學(xué)到很多有用的信息。我想當(dāng)時(shí)我認(rèn)為漫畫(huà)書(shū)只是一種娛樂(lè)，超人或者蜘蛛俠是你長(zhǎng)大以后就不再關(guān)注的事情，就像青春痘一樣，成年后就不會(huì)再長(zhǎng)。長(zhǎng)大后你就不再看漫畫(huà)。但是我想，現(xiàn)在日本漫畫(huà)在美國(guó)越來(lái)越受歡迎。當(dāng)然相比于孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，有更多的成年人會(huì)收藏珍貴的漫畫(huà)。這要花費(fèi)一大筆錢。如果你有古舊漫畫(huà)，那你會(huì)掙一大筆錢。我認(rèn)為日本漫畫(huà)有助于使美國(guó)成年人接受本土漫畫(huà)，因?yàn)槁?huà)可以包含對(duì)現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的諷刺，可能會(huì)含有同性戀問(wèn)題等等。
 
A: OK, I think that's the difference. There's a whole bunch of different genres than it seems like in the united states. In the United States there is just the super hero.
 
好，我認(rèn)為有很大不同。日本有各種風(fēng)格的漫畫(huà)，比美國(guó)漫畫(huà)的種類多。美國(guó)只有超級(jí)英雄這種類型的漫畫(huà)。
 
B: Yeah, the super hero comics. And it's starting to change. I think the idea of Japan's comic book where you create a world as opposed to just one super hero character. In this world you can follow various characters, and I think you can, in a sense you become closer to the characters within a comic book.
 
對(duì)，超級(jí)英雄漫畫(huà)?，F(xiàn)在開(kāi)始改變了。我認(rèn)為日本漫畫(huà)的概念是要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造一個(gè)世界，而不是只創(chuàng)造一個(gè)超級(jí)英雄的形象。在創(chuàng)造出來(lái)的世界中，可以有各種不同的角色，從某種意義上說(shuō)，你會(huì)感覺(jué)更接近漫畫(huà)中的人物。
