实战口语情景对话 第582期:Manga 漫画(3)

Ruth: So, Tres, you read a lot of comics. Don't you find them really violent in Japan?
露丝：特雷斯，你看过很多漫画。你不觉得日本的漫画有很多暴力元素吗？

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：对，有很多漫画书含有暴力情节。也有很多漫画书含有色情元素。有些漫画书我是不会推荐我奶奶看的。

Ruth: But compared to the comic books in America?
露丝：那和美国的漫画书比较呢？

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，我认为美国对于看漫画书有不同的看法。与日本不同，一般美国的成年人不会看这么多漫画，如果我要找有暴力或露骨内容的漫画书，那我可能得去那种特殊的商店，而且我要年满21岁才能去那种商店，可是在日本，只要去附近的超市就可以买到这种漫画书。

Ruth: Do the comics have any warnings on them for violence?
露丝：那这些漫画书会对暴力内容进行警告吗？

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：在美国吗？我想他们会进行警告，我从来没在美国买过漫画书，不过我觉得他们会进行标注的。爱尔兰是什么情况？

Ruth: I don't read a lot of comics myself, but both my brother and sister are quite into manga 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.
露丝：我没看过多少漫画，不过我哥哥和姐姐非常喜欢日本漫画，圣诞节的时候，我姐姐给我哥哥买了一本名为《惩罚者》的漫画，里面含有大量的暴力内容，不过书的首页贴有“父母指导”的警告标语，告诫人们内容可能有些暴力内容。我表弟以画漫画为生，他拿给我们看的很多漫画都很暴力，不过和日本的漫画相比就不算什么了。

Tres: What do you think about the comics in Japan? Do you ever sit down and read the violent ones or?
特雷斯：你怎么看日本漫画？你有坐下来看过暴力漫画吗？

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.
露丝：不会，我不太喜欢暴力漫画。我看过很多少女漫画和爱情漫画，我不喜欢《不可思议的游戏》这类漫画。

Tres: There's no sexual content in those comics whatsoever?
特雷斯：这些漫画里不含有色情内容吗？

Ruth: No, I think they were based for primary school children. There was no violence at all.
露丝：对，没有，这些漫画讲的是小学生的故事。所以完全没有暴力元素。

Tres: Point in case.
特雷斯：不错的例子。
