Top10不当翻译

中文里有很多词,其实并没有和英文翻得对照起来,但我们会发现有的词,被宣传部门稍加利用,足以起到破坏大众逻辑和判断能力的作用。

排名不分先后:
1,country, state-》国家
英文里这是两个完全不同意义的单词,但在中文里确是一个词,这完美的符合在中国党即政府即国家即是你母亲的宣传政策,很多所谓愤青看到别人反共就是在反华,看到别人帮你骂骂政府就相在骂他自己,概念完全一团浆糊。

2,traditional chinese medicine -》中药
这个词应该是英文翻中文的,老外都是明白人了,翻得很清楚,强调的是traditional,中文里为什么叫中药而不是传统药呢? 无非是利用“中药”和“西药”的对立关系偷换“传统药”和“现代药”的对立关系,再加上中国的一点就燃的爱国主义和遗毒至今的封建迷信,中医药这种文化历史遗产也就有了巨大的医用市场。

这和西式民主这种说法有异曲同工之妙,巧妙的将封建和现代用东方和西方的关系偷换过来了。

3,drug -》毒品
英文里毒有专门的单词poison, drug就是drug为什么会被翻成毒品呢,中国人对drug的无知我觉得跟这个翻译有很大的关系,极大的误导了人民群众,中国也就成了一个该吸的“毒”不吸,不该吸的“毒”猛吸的奇怪国家。

4,Ecstasy-> 摇头丸
说到了drug,不得不说到Ecstasy,我认识的中国人里不管有没有试过Ecstasy的,对之都没有太好的印象,吃过ecstasy的中国人对它的评价不是那么的高可以解释为中国本身就没有CLUB和DANCE的文化和氛围,吃Ecstasy就相戴手套手淫一样没有了快感,而没吃过的人也对它很反感,除了中共的宣传外,我认为这个翻译也有很大问题,在一个乌七八黑烟熏缭绕的地方傻不拉几的不停摇头,多蠢的事情啊。。。一个“摇头”,把ecstasy本身字面的美,更把它背后巨大的快感,音乐,艺术,舞蹈和时尚文化全都掩盖起来了。

5,appreciate-感谢
中文里很难找到一个词能和appreciate完全对应起来,也许这也是我们常常粗暴对待艺术和美的原因?
其它的日后再写。。。

世界上最牛B的移民法

自从美国鸭梨商那州通过一个什么移民法以来,美国的新闻网站就老是能看到讨论这个的新闻,不过我从来没有点进去看过,因为我知道,就美国这样的国家定个移民法能牛B到哪去,必竟我是在北京待的人,什么没见过啊。。

结果今天新闻里又说,连这么个号称美国历史上首个XX的移民法,也被最高法取消了,说是违宪,而且有种族歧视的问题,点进去看了看,这移民法主要的内容是什么呢,很简单,一句话,就是警察叔叔如果在街上看到个人感觉你有可能是非法移民,那么有权盘查其证件。

我估计所有在北京生活过的“外来务工人员”看到这样的新闻都有崩溃的感觉吧。

要不说广东福建的农民拼了命拼了家产也要偷渡喃。

前些天FP评了世界上前五个最HARSH的移民法http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/04/29/the_world_s_worst_immigration_laws?page=0,1 但最后的结论是就算是这五个,也比不上美国这个牛B。

我蛋定的笑了笑,要让他们看到这样的新闻,估计他们都不好意思把那几个称为移民法吧。。

韩国龙平滑雪

我唯一一次出国滑雪就是去韩国的龙平,去之前期望就不高,所以倒是玩得很尽兴。

虽然比国内的好不少,但可以想相比起欧美日本肯定差远了。

去之前先在首尔喝了两天酒,结果在那边待了三天只滑了一天半,其它时间都在睡觉OR喝酒。。。

雪场是韩国最大的,但也就比万龙大点点,不过缆车多不少,且都是高速,相比万龙的冻慢缆车舒服不少。

雪道和万龙差不多,可能和北大湖相当吧。天然降雪好相多点,不过也都压过了。

最长的一条有五公里,不过全是新人,而且只有十米左右宽。。。

很多双板高手,滑得刷刷刷的,我一直觉得国内新人现在很多选择单板是因为第一次去滑雪的话在国内特别是北京周边的雪场全是姿态和装扮都特别丑的滑双板的,所以第一印象就不好了。。

配套设备都很好,晚上吃肉喝酒的环境估计崇礼再等个三十年差不多。旁边的小镇也很好玩。总得来说,想滑雪的话就不用考虑韩国了,但现在周未去次万龙也小2K,如果想顺便玩玩韩国,那到可以去一次。

我觉得首尔是个很好玩的地方,姑娘们的裙子要比北京短点,夜生活比北京丰富,但价钱却只贵了一点点。值得一去。

5 Reasons Chinese Goverment Should NOT Legalize Marijuana

"Drug" is translated to "poison" in Chinese when it comes to recreational use. Not only the drugs themselves, but also any drug related discussions and debates are strictly forbidden in China.

The propaganda against drug use is so strong that most mainland Chinese not only have no idea what drug is but also try to avoid any drug related discussion, anyway, only stupid people want to talk about "eating poison".

So it's interesting to think about what will happen if the government legalize some relative harmless drugs, like, marijuana~?

of course they will never do it. I list my top 5 reasons.

#5 People will be so pissed off because
The government put almost no restrictions on tobacco and alcohol use,no matter what's your age, no matter where you are... this is the most important reason why there are 300million people addicted to tobacco, and more than 1million people die from alcohol related disease or accidents every year. anyone has dinnered with local government officials knows most of them like forcing people to drink Chinese wine with 52% ABV,they are just so crazy about cigarettes and alcohol. but at the same time the government runs a ridiculous propaganda against other drugs and heavily punish any people commit an offense. what a weird country...

#4 Why to have problems with lots of money
The tobacco industry brings billions of billions of money to the government every year and shit loads of people work for the state owned tobacco company. and the economy of several provinces heavily rely on tobacco and alcohol. so at least they don't want any drugs can be easily home made...


#3 The opium war...
Every Chinese starts learning "You must love Communist party" kinda things since first grade, and almost all of those things start with the "shame" during Opium war...so the government links their legal status to what they had done to get Chinese out of that miserable "drug" life 100 years ago...

#2 subculture
"Every culture and subculture gets the drugs that it deserves," writes Douglas Rushkoff in his forward to Tim Pilcher's <>, In fact, almost every major cultural movement in history can be traced back to the chemicals it did or did not have. Obviously the CCP doesn't like culture, so they lead the Culture Revolution and then set up a Ministry of Culture to ban all the culture.

#1 It organizes people
Anything that can organizes people are strictly forbidden in China, like facebook and twitter something are seriously blocked by GFW and even cellphone texts are censored nowadays.
how many people are prone to get addicted to drugs in China?imagine the on line computer game addicts in China is 10 times more than the rest of the world combined. How much more fun it is to get stoned than on line computer games?
Imagine again a China's 420 smoke out day, that will be the first thing the government can not control in China

5 Reasons Chinese Government Should Legalize Marijuana

Also, there are 5 Reasons they should legalize marijuana

#5 Save animals in the world
Legalizing marijuana will definitely trigger lots of debate about drugs the first time in China's history, some people will eventually know how to treat drugs with a scientific attitude, so there will be less people eating weird things in China eventually, you know , someone believe eating tiger's penis helps on bed, eating turtle helps living longer...animals are going to be all in zoos or on dinner tables in this way...

#4 tax income
Again, if even the on line computer game addicts are 10 times more than the rest of the world combined, how many pot addicts there can be in China?although the state owned cigarette company would see a huge profit cut, they can make more from issuing a drug tax.


#3 Hemp for Paper making
China is the most polluted country in the world, and people still want more from their land. Hemp has arguably been proven one of the best plant for forest and its high efficiency for paper making. This is exactly what we need.


#2 Better for themselves...
There is a smoking culture in government offices all over China if you don't smoke you're seen as a different guy and will never get promoted. so if you have to smoke something , why not marijuana,which has been proven less harmful than tobacco no matter in terms of dependence or physics harm.

#1 Relax People
There are tens of thousands of protests in China each year, most of them become serious riots eventually. if the CCP wants making more money , they have to keep fucking Chinese people, how can you calm down all those miserable lads? Get them stoned!
