【標點符號──番外篇】當中文寫作遇到英文用字……
**
中文寫作夾雜著英文,已是常見的寫作形態。文稿中,英文字母的大小寫、英式句號的使用與否,以及英文與中式標點(特別是夾注號與引號)的關係,也就成了工作上經常遭遇的小小困擾。趁著冬雨煩心,試著靜下來整理一下我的想法。
必須說明的是,就我所知,目前有關上述的問題並無統一的規範用法,所以以下說的並不一定對,只是作為有興趣者討論的基礎。
**
一、英文的夾注、說明、引用,應該置於引號之外。
例1──很明顯,這是一套給「信徒」(believers)看的電影,因為只有信徒,才可以在黑暗中看見光明。
不寫(例1A)──很明顯,這是一套給「信徒(believers)」看的電影……
書名號也是如此:
例2──英國詩人彌爾頓寫的《失樂園》(Paradise Lost)強調,人類的始祖亞當與夏娃「有足夠的能力循規蹈矩,但也可隨自己的意願沉淪墮落。這不是上帝的疏忽,而是上帝的方法。
不寫(例2A)──英國詩人彌爾頓寫的《失樂園(Paradise Lost)》強調……
不只是短詞語,句子也是如此:
例3──馬克吐溫說「真相穿鞋子所需的時間,足夠謊言繞著地球跑半圈」(A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes),指的就是人類喜惡厭善的本性。
不寫(例3A)──馬克吐溫說「真相穿鞋子所需的時間,足夠謊言繞著地球跑半圈(A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes)」,指的是……
二、英文的句子句首字母須大寫,如「例3」。
三、比較複雜的情況是英文句子的句號使用。
作為一個句子局部成份的英文夾注句應省略句號:
例4──痛苦比快樂教會我們更多(Pain teaches us more than pleasure),這個事實,每個成年人都有深刻的感觸。
不寫(例4A):痛苦比快樂教會我們更多(Pain teaches us more than pleasure.),這個事實,每個成年人都有深刻的感觸。
間接引語的英文句號應省略:
例5──馬克思說,哲學家以不同的方式解讀世界,但世界需要的不是解讀,而是改變(The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways: the point, however, is to change it)。
不寫(例5A)──馬克思說,哲學家以不同的方式解讀世界,但世界需要的不是解讀,而是改變(The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways: the point, however, is to change it.)。
也不寫(例5B)──馬克思說,哲學家以不同的方式解讀世界,但世界需要的不是解讀,而是改變。(The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways: the point, however, is to change it.)
注意,只有完全直接引語的句式,因為中式句號(。)必須在下引號(」)之內,所以夾注的英文必須使用英式句號(.)。當然,英文句末若是問號或驚嘆號,則都必須保留。
例6──馬克思說:「哲學家以不同的方式解讀世界,但世界需要的不是解讀,而是改變。」(The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways: the point, however, is to change it.)
例7──鮑勃‧迪倫傳頌一時的〈風中飄揚〉(Blowing in the Wind)有一句「面對不公不義,一個人可以假裝沒有看見,掉頭就走多少次?」(How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?),不知鼓舞了多少義憤填膺的人挺身而出。
四、如果中文作為英文的夾注?
因為句型還是中文句,所以英文句的引號應用中式引號(「」);同時,因為句型是中文句,英文句未的英文句號也應省略。
例8──小說《老人與海》有一句話傳頌一時:「A man can be destroyed but not defeated」(真漢子寧死不屈)。
不寫(例8A)──小說《老人與海》有一句話傳頌一時:”A man can be destroyed but not defeated”(真漢子寧死不屈)。
也不寫(例8B)──小說《老人與海》有一句話傳頌一時:「A man can be destroyed but not defeated.」(真漢子寧死不屈)。
#不過,「例8」是值得商榷的,因為這違反中文句式直接引語的句號必須在下引號之內的規範。
或許可以改為(例8C)──小說《老人與海》有一句話傳頌一時:「A man can be destroyed but not defeated(真漢子寧死不屈)。」
但這一來又違反夾注號不應在引號內的規範,見「例1」。這問題的確有點麻煩。
五、如果是整段或多段英文引用,因為句子是英文句,所以英文應使用英式引號(””),並加英式句號。
例9──美國作家懷特(E.B. White)在《這裡是紐約》(Here is New York)寫到城市與個人的命運,文字簡潔流暢:
“Many of its settlers are probably here to escape, not face, reality.”
(很多移民來到這裡是為了逃避,不是面對現實。)
“It can destroy an individual, or it can fulfill him, depending on a good deal on luck. No one should come to New York to live unless he is willing to be luck.”
(紐約可以毀掉一個人,也可以成就一個人,視乎運氣而定……)

結婚前,我在日商公司的工廠工作,當到管理幹部,本來也存了一筆錢準備婚後買房,沒想到婚後,根本來想的完全不一樣。
Before I got married, I worked in a factory ran by a Japanese company. I worked my way up to management and saved some money to purchase a house after marriage. Little did I expect how different life would be after I got married.

我和前夫是朋友介紹認識的。一直以來,我在感情裡面都沒什麼自信、處於弱勢,總是被拋棄的那一方。之前也有個男友曾經論及婚嫁,但他媽媽嫌我內向不會講話,沒辦法幫忙做生意,所以後來還是分手了。我跟前夫交往沒有幾個月就結婚,那時候覺得他在公司工作五、六年,應該很有定性,感覺也是個顧家、愛小孩的人。雖然不致於大富大貴,但夫妻倆應該可以過個穩定的幸福生活。
My ex-husband and I were introduced by friends. I have never had much confidence in my relationships. I was always the weaker half, the one who was always left behind. Before my ex-husband, I had a boyfriend who proposed marriage, but his mother felt that I was too much of an introvert and could not help him manage his business. We parted ways in the end. My ex-husband and I got married a few months after we began dating. He had been working in his company for five to six years at the time, so I felt he had a stable life. He also felt like a family man and one who loves children. While he was not rich, I felt we could live a stable and happy life.

婚後,陸續生下大女兒和小兒子,兩個差三歲,但都是我在養。老公婚後都是半夜才回家,而且他除了房租以外,其餘生活開銷都不肯出。我盡量維持他在外的形象,都沒有跟別人說。因為實在沒錢,我還曾經打去他的公司,問老闆什麼時候發薪水?老闆很驚訝地跟我說,他的薪水比廠長還高,我們應該生活無虞才對。
After marriage, we had our eldest daughter and a son three years later, but I had to raise them myself. My husband would always return home after midnight, and he never paid for any living expenses other than rent. I tried to help maintain his image so I kept silent. However, I just did not have enough money, so I called his company one day and asked his boss when he would be paid. His boss was surprised. He told me that my husband’s salary was higher than that of the factory director and we should not have to worry about basic necessities.

我實在不知道他半夜都去哪,把錢花到哪去。總之,我一直苦撐,我總覺得小孩要有爸爸、要有完整的家庭;撐越久,又覺得「我都已經撐這麼久了」,如果現在放棄的話,那不就前功盡棄了嗎?本來要用來買房子的存款,為了養小孩,全部花完,後來我幾乎一天只吃一餐,最慘的時候,還曾經母子三人吃一個便當。
I really didn’t know where he went in the middle of the night, and where he spent all his money. I hung on because I felt that the children must have a father and a complete family. I thought that I had already hung on for so long—if I had given up, then everything would have been for nothing. The money I had saved to purchase a house was completely spent on my children. I could only eat one meal a day, and at times the three of us would only share a single lunchbox.

你能想像嗎?我家沒有電視也沒有電腦,冷氣壞了沒辦法修,洗衣機壞了,我只能手洗衣服。社工問我,為什麼小孩身上臭臭的?我也不知道該怎麼說,因為他們的衣服本來就是二手的,而且我只能手洗,他們一流汗就臭了。還好,我去工作之後,偶爾可以把衣服拿去投幣式洗衣機啦。
Could you imagine what we went through? There wasn’t a TV or a computer in our house. Even when the air conditioner or the washing machine was broken, we could not fix it.

我苦撐了十年才離婚,後來徹底心寒,是因為債務問題。我前夫不拿錢回家,我只能用信用卡去大賣場採買日常用品,前夫要買什麼,也會要我刷卡,甚至還要幫他付電話費,一個月就兩萬元。我說我不幫你繳,他說好阿,那被停話你跟小孩就找不到我了。就這樣債務累積越來越多,到最後,我只好跟銀行談妥還債計畫,跟娘家借錢還債。這也讓我決定離婚。
I hung on for a decade before filing for divorce. I found out later that my ex-husband had debt problems. He did not bring any money home, so I could only use credit cards to purchase groceries. Whatever he wanted to buy, he would ask me to use my card. I even had to pay his phone bills. Sometimes the bills amounted to 20,000 a month, so I told my husband I would not pay. "That's fine, but then you and the kids wouldn't be able to reach me anymore, " he said.

目前,我們還跟前夫住在一起,因為要搬出去,就得準備兩個月的押金和第一個月的租金,我得要努力存錢才有能力處理。阿山他們介紹我去超市工作,我希望超市趕快開幕,我才有辦法趕快賺錢搬出去。
At present, my children and I are still living with my ex-husband, because you need to have a two-month deposit and payment for the first month to rent a place. I have to work harder and save.

其實,哪個女生不希望嫁個好老公?但是老公再有錢,沒有真心愛妳都沒用;即使老公賺不多,但只要願意顧家,那就是好老公。
All girls want a good husband. However, if your husband doesn't really love you, it doesn't matter how rich he is. Even if your husband does not make much, if he cares for his family, then he is a good husband.

however句首 在 譯百種生活 Facebook 的精選貼文
【譯百種閱讀】
英國司法大臣Michael Gove發了一份公務員寫作守則給自己機關的公務員,從衛報跟獨立報的報導看來,許多人(至少是記者)好像相當不以為然,Gove先生寫下的「不遵守就是爛英文」的文法規則有那些呢,來看看報導列舉的例子:
*句首不可以用yet及however開頭
*impact只能當名詞用不能當動詞用
*用make sure不能用ensure
*不要偷懶用doesn't,要乖乖寫does not
他在2013年擔任教育部首長時也訂下一套文法「黃金守則」,這次又發表了進階版。黃金守則有些還押韻:"if in doubt, cut it out."
也有我覺得很實用的寫作建議:read it out loud-if it sounds wrong, don't send it.
不過對他不是很滿意的記者立刻找出Gove以前當記者的文章打臉,裡面就有好幾句是用However開頭。
Gove也推薦他心目中理想的偉大作家,建議公務員們多多閱讀,提升寫作能力,他心目中的大作家有:喬治歐威爾、珍奧斯汀、喬治艾略特,另外幾位Evelyn Waugh、Matthew Parris 、Christopher Hitchens我孤陋寡聞就沒聽過了。
不過英國保守黨的大臣們似乎都對部屬的寫作方式很有意見,有一位Owen Paterson就禁止用and跟but開頭的句子,另外一外Justine Greening也反對公文裡面使用副詞跟縮寫。
不知何處可以取得這份文件的原文呀?

周興哲《永不失聯的愛》小提琴版本
| Violin cover by Lin Tzu An of Unbreakable Love by Eric Chou
以前聽不懂的歌,一次又一次單曲循環,後來漸漸聽懂了。
好像對事情有所期待,就能從中獲得幸福或滿足。好比說:明天見。
明天見是句溫暖的問候,讓人知道想見的人明天就能見,明天因為一個人翹首以盼,而另個人如期到來,所以值得紀念。
又或是別擔心我在,這句。希望無論遇到什麼挫折困難,在對自己失望透頂或徬徨無助時,知道有個人無論如何都站在他這邊,願對方為自己發亮、看見自己的好,願對方的光中有我的祝福。
我們把自己過好,這樣就很好了,放在心底就是愛你的方式。

however句首 在 Dickson Chai Youtube 的最佳解答
[ 10年感情的道别 | Goodbye My 10 Years Relationship ]
10年真的不短,很遗憾无法一起走到最后。
求婚了,却早已错过应该发生的时间点。
面对瓶颈考验的爱情在挽救期中感性被理性打败了,写下句号。
我们分了。我们都很不舍,但确实分了。
很抱歉,令所有期待的家人朋友失望了。
这10年里她对我很好,无可挑剔;而我做不好的我全都承认,是我的理所当然及舒适心态导致了今天的所有,我诚心道歉。
对于一直关心我俩的亲朋好友,感恩过去所有的祝福,也谢谢这些年的见证。
对于曾煽动我们分手的朋友们,抱歉拖了那么久,往后不需煽动了。
我特别要感谢彼此的家人、爱我们的家人们。这些年让大家心中累计的担忧及不满实在不应该,让大家操心了,诚恳地鞠躬致歉。谢谢这些年的爱与包容,打从心里的感恩,谢谢。
在这里,至这位10年前为我化妆而邂逅的,10年来风雨不改以我为先的,让我在爱情里一夜长大的她 – Mey ,谢谢你一切付出、包容、体谅及信任,完整了我生活许多的缺失区块,也为我生命彩出了鲜艳的色彩。谢谢你总无条件地支持我每个决定,即使以世界为敌你还是站在我身旁。谢谢你无限的精神鼓励,让我即使在烂透的状态下也努力撑过去,因为我知道至少还有你这位铁粉的守候。万语千言在心中说不尽,我想你知道的。谢谢你,真心真心地谢谢你。正如我十年前为你写的歌 – “美丽意外“里的歌词,至今,我仍觉得遇见你是个美丽的意外,真的。
容我忍泪再次公开说,Mey, 我爱你。
面对10年感情的结束,难过是肯定的。
即使平时爱笑的我们,也为这次的句号流了好多公升的泪。但我们答应彼此会带着所有开心的记忆把对方放在心中一个特别的位置。换了身份,没了昵称,不管未来缘分如何,我们都会是彼此继续珍惜的那位。
最后,公开这首十年前写给她的歌,也是十年后我重新录制十周年版本向她求婚的作品。MV里记录了过去十年的精选画面,婚没求得成,但我们都认为这首歌是纪念这10年的最初;10年的最终,最佳的礼物,也要谢谢歌曲的幕后团队 :佳旺 (金马旺) 的 编曲 / 制作 / 录音 /配唱 ,沁嘉 的 合音编写 / 合音 , 文浩 的混音。他们是少数知道我求婚计划也期待着好消息的朋友。。。可惜让你们失望了,谢谢你们的一切付出与耐心,我都真心感激。
爱情其实只有你和我,但考虑到彼此有太多共同朋友,为了避免揣测还是决定做个交代。谢谢大家这十年的祝福。当你看到这贴文时我俩的脸书感情状态应该已经更新。
是很意外,连我俩都为这样的今天感到意外,如果是注定意外,至少让它是个 [美丽意外],好吗?
爱要及时,记得好好珍惜依然在你身边的那位,衷心祝福大家。
缘起缘灭感恩一切,合十。
10 years, regret that we couldn’t make it till the end.
I proposed, but had missed the right timing to do it right.
After went through the consideration period, rational beat sentimental, it ended.
Yes, we broke up. It’s really hard to accept, but yes, we broke up.
Truly regret to all friends and families’ members who had expectation on us.For the past 10 years, she’s perfect. For all the wrong which I made, I’ll take all the blame. I’m truly sorry, for the relationship which I care so much.
To all friends who care about both of us throughout these 10 years, thanks for witnessing us.
To those who didn’t expect good ending, sorry for the long waiting.
I would like to specially thank both of our family’s members. I can understand all the worries and dissatisfactions throughout the years. Really shouldn’t allow those to happen. I Sincerely apologize. Sorry.
Hereby, I would like to thank her, the girl I crushed into when she did make up for me 10 years ago, the girl who always put me as priority for the past 10 years, the girl who used 10 years’ time to grew me up in the world of love – Mey , Thank you for everything, you completed a lot of my missing part in life and had brighten up my days with different colours. Thanks for always standing by my side although when the world disagree on me. Thanks for your bottomless mental support which let me went through lots of down time as I always know there’ll at least be a super fans forever, it’s you. As of now, I still feel like knowing you is 1 of the most beautiful accident in life, and you able to calmed me down whenever and wherever you were around. It’s more than words, I’m sure you knew it, thank you so much, sincerely.
Allow me to hold my tears and say this 1 more time openly, Mey, I love you, as always.
10 years long run coming to an end, for sure it’s really hurt and sad.
But we’ll promise to bring along all happy memories and place each other at a special point in our heart. You will always be a person that I care about.
Lastly, sharing out the song I wrote for her 10 years ago, and it’s being re-produced again into a 10th year anniversary version for my proposal purpose. The MV are made by all key moments we been through together. Although my proposal failed, but we do think it’s a best way to conclude and remember those 10 years, from the beginning to the end. Thanks to the song production team : Keon Chia (Golden Horse Award Winner 2020) for Music Arrangement, Produce, Recording, Vocal Guide. Thanks to Isabell Jia Jia for the background Vocal & Background Vocal Arrangement. Thanks to Haw Vee for the Mixing. They were the few who knew my proposal plan and awaiting the good news …. However, sorry to let you all down. Thanks to all the effort, it’s my honor to have you guys in this important journey and I deeply appreciate it in heart.
Love actually is just you & me, but we decided to explain about this to avoid any assumptions as we got too many mutual friends. Thanks to all lovely wishes for the past 10 years. When you see this post, I believe our relationship status on FB had changed.
Yes it’s really an accident to our relationship, even to ourselves. If it’s meant to be an accident, at least let it be a “Beautiful Accident”.
Always express your LOVE before too late and appreciate he/her who still together with you. Best wishes to everyone.
With Love, Sorry and Thanks.

however句首 在 碰碰PongPong Youtube 的精選貼文
p/s: 為了配合作曲,粉絲留言經過刪減,但沒有改詞。
Fans' comments are not altered, but abridged to fit melody.
【歌曲介绍 】
碰碰2020 第一首單曲《你有什么用?》曲风为中文流行抒情歌曲(Mandopop)。继《不觉丢脸吗》 在网上火红,#碰碰车写歌企划,已进入了第三首企划!碰碰原在2019年,开始了和粉丝们(碰碰车)一起创作的写歌企划。这个写歌计划只用粉丝们的留言为作词,碰碰自己谱曲后,制作成单曲发表在网络上。第一首《不觉得丢脸吗》受到了多家台湾媒体报道,现今更在YouTube频道上获得了116万的点击量。
碰碰深受R&B和流行乐的影响,在这首单曲发挥了平时少见的爵士唱腔,编曲也加入了各种R&B元素。上千个粉丝们的评论当中选出,《你有什么用?》主题围绕在 “放弃”的主题,歌词表达了各种沮丧或心碎人的心声。
“你有什么用?站在黑暗的角落,come on, 没有人和你感同身受。” 副歌一响起,也许歌词会让人心酸。配上疗愈地伴奏,碰碰希望作品可以给予粉丝们疗愈的效果。 借着多人的负面情绪,凌乱的句子通过了音乐的洗礼,却变成了一支有意义的作品。作品想大声地告诉正在面对困难的人们,他们不是一个人。碰碰相信 “雨后有彩虹”。碰碰希望这首《你有什么用?》就像一道光,照亮别人黑暗的世界。
【Song Introduction歌曲介紹】
“你有什么用?” (Useless) is PongPong’s third songwriting project with their fans after “不觉丢脸吗 (Aren’t you embarrassed)” , a collaborative project with fans, which went viral on the Internet. Reported by various Taiwanese media, their previous project has gained 1,160,000 views on their YouTube channel. After the success, PongPong is back with their latest single entitled “你有什么用?” (Useless) , a Mandopop ballad hit.
The track showcases PongPong’s influence of R&B elements like R&B vocals, jazz piano, backing vocals and R&B chords. With the first project themed with hate comments, “你有什么用?” (Useless) surrounds the theme of “giving up”. The lyrics were made solely from fans' comments, which gave a voice for those who felt depressed or heartbroken in life.
The chorus features fans’ lyrics like, “You’re useless.” “Hiding in a dark corner.” “No one would understand your feelings.” it could be overwhelming to listen. However, PongPong believes this piece would be a medium to heal the broken-hearteds by showing them that they are not alone. The song ends with “There’s always a rainbow after the rain” . The sibling duo wanted this track to be a beacon of hope to their fans who are facing hardships and battling everyday.
【歌詞Lyrics】
《你有什么用?》
作词:碰碰車
作曲:碰碰
编曲:碰弟Gaston
尽力了 不能了 太难了
受够了 不行了 白费了
(我努力了)
没希望了 放弃算了 做错了什么?
好累了 不想再继续了 我别无选择
放弃算了 白费力气 不能成功的
也许这个世界 没什么好留恋的
(我努力了)
不知道 自己做什么才是对的
我真的 很累了
你 有什么用?
站在黑暗角落
Come On 没人和你感同身受
有什么用?
心烦 心乱 心痛
活在这世界 有什么用?
有什么用?
没人看到我
没人看到我
不懂坚持什么
我不红
两极的 信念在打架 挣扎
我真的 呆不下 我怎么那么差
不知道啦
想怎样就怎样啦
输就输吧 我想喝奶茶
停下来 想一想 明天还 是一样
石头怎样都不会发光
像没灵 魂一样 只想躺 在床上
陪月亮到天亮
放弃算了 白费力气 不能成功的
也许这个世界 没什么好留恋的
(我努力了)
不知道 自己做什么才是对的
我真的 很累了
你 有什么用 (有什么用)
站在黑暗的角落
Come On 没有人和你感同身受
有什么用 (有什么用)
心烦 心乱 心痛
活在这世界 有什么用 (有什么用)
有什么用
没人看到我 (有什么用)
没人看到我
不懂坚持什么
我不红
努力那麼久
找堅持理由
看着天空
见星星闪烁
家人愛我
同學捧我
Never try never know
雨後有彩虹
雨後有彩虹
