實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Manga 漫畫(3)

Ruth: So, Tres, you read a lot of comics. Don't you find them really violent in Japan?

露絲：特雷斯，你看過很多漫畫。你不覺得日本的漫畫有很多暴力元素嗎?

Tres: Yeah, there are violent comic books. There are sexy comic books. There are comic books I wouldn't show to my grandmother.

特雷斯：對，有很多漫畫書含有暴力情節(jié)。也有很多漫畫書含有色情元素。有些漫畫書我是不會推薦我奶奶看的。

Ruth: But compared to the comic books in America?

露絲：那和美國的漫畫書比較呢?

Tres: Yeah, I think in the United States, first of all, the idea of reading a comic book is a bit different. Adults don't read comic books as much as they do here in Japan, so if I really wanted to find a violent, or a comic book that had explicit content, then I'd have to find a special shop, most likely I would have to be 21 or over, just to get into that shop, whereas here in Japan, just go to your local supermarket and there you are.

特雷斯：首先，我認(rèn)為美國對于看漫畫書有不同的看法。與日本不同，一般美國的成年人不會看這么多漫畫，如果我要找有暴力或露骨內(nèi)容的漫畫書，那我可能得去那種特殊的商店，而且我要年滿21歲才能去那種商店，可是在日本，只要去附近的超市就可以買到這種漫畫書。

Ruth: Do the comics have any warnings on them for violence?

露絲：那這些漫畫書會對暴力內(nèi)容進(jìn)行警告嗎?

Tres: In the Unites States? I believe they would, and I've never shopped for comic books in the United States, but I think they would have something. What about Ireland? How is that?

特雷斯：在美國嗎?我想他們會進(jìn)行警告，我從來沒在美國買過漫畫書，不過我覺得他們會進(jìn)行標(biāo)注的。愛爾蘭是什么情況?

Ruth: I don't read a lot of comics myself, but both my brother and sister are quite intomanga and comics, and I know for Christmas my sister bought my brother a comic called "The Punisher" which was quite violent in places but on the front of comics like that, there's always a sign that says, "Parental Advisory" to warn people that the contents might be explicit. My cousin also works drawing comics for a living and some of the comics that he's given to us have been quite violent, but nothing compared to the ones in Japan.

露絲：我沒看過多少漫畫，不過我哥哥和姐姐非常喜歡日本漫畫，圣誕節(jié)的時候，我姐姐給我哥哥買了一本名為《懲罰者》的漫畫，里面含有大量的暴力內(nèi)容，不過書的首頁貼有“父母指導(dǎo)”的警告標(biāo)語，告誡人們內(nèi)容可能有些暴力內(nèi)容。我表弟以畫漫畫為生，他拿給我們看的很多漫畫都很暴力，不過和日本的漫畫相比就不算什么了。

Tres: What do you think about the comics in Japan? Do you ever sit down and read the violent ones or?

特雷斯：你怎么看日本漫畫?你有坐下來看過暴力漫畫嗎?

Ruth: No, I don't really like violent comics. I've read more girlie comics, romance ones instead like Fushigi-yugi and that kind of thing.

露絲：不會，我不太喜歡暴力漫畫。我看過很多少女漫畫和愛情漫畫，我不喜歡《不可思議的游戲》這類漫畫。

Tres: There's no sexual content in those comics whatsoever?

特雷斯：這些漫畫里不含有色情內(nèi)容嗎?

Ruth: No, I think they were based for primary school children. There was no violence at all.

露絲：對，沒有，這些漫畫講的是小學(xué)生的故事。所以完全沒有暴力元素。

Tres: Point in case.

特雷斯：不錯的例子。
