[2011.10.10] 电影演员六戒

引用 lilywizardry 2011-10-14 08:14

Any actor who doesn’t want to reek of despair should avoid such self-mockery at all costs
mockery:  an imitation or pretence, esp a derisive one 拙劣可笑的模仿
感觉不只是嘲讽自己

这要看电影演员在意的是他们的演艺事业本身还是金钱了

引用 Leah木 2011-10-14 15:00

Appearing in a pastiche of one of your earlier films is never a wise move.
在你自己过去电影的仿作里出演绝不是什么好事。

试译：出演和自己以前电影里类似的角色绝对不是一个明智之举。

还没有本事就研究单词的翻译，只能纠结下汉语的表达方式，楼主见谅。


经济学人里的文章是要翻译的口语话，简单易懂，意思对就可以了呢，还是要翻译的很专业，术语很多呢？ 有些困惑。。。

这些都是同义词或同义表达，建议翻译成同一个词， 或同一个意思（模仿， 自我模仿）

1）007 spoof, ，
Spoof From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
Look up spoof in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Spoof, spoofs, spoofer, or spoofing may refer to:
Parody by imitation
2） parodying herself.
A parody (pronounced /ˈpærədi/; also called send-up, spoof or lampoon), in current usage, is an imitative work created to mock, comment on, or trivialise an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. As the literary theorist Linda Hutcheon puts it, "parody … is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text." Another critic, Simon Dentith, defines parody as "any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice." Parody may be found in art or culture, including literature, music (although "parody" in music has an earlier, somewhat different meaning than for other art forms), animation, gaming and film.
3） pastiche of one of your earlier films
In this usage, the term denotes a literary technique employing a generally light-hearted tongue-in-cheek imitation of another's style; although jocular, it is usually respectful.
For example, many stories featuring Sherlock Holmes, originally created by Arthur Conan Doyle, have been written as pastiches since the author's time.[1][2] Ellery Queen and Nero Wolfe are other popular subjects of mystery parodies and pastiches.[3]

4）he’d sent up that role not once but twice,
send-up or send•up (s nd  p )
n. Informal
An amusing imitation or parody; a takeoff: "The absurd trial is, of course, a send-up of the Dublin courts" (New Yorker).


5） such self-mockery at all costs.

Rule Two: Don’t do a horror film unless you’re the monster. Horror audiences come to see the villains, and they come back again when those villains are in the sequels. 规则二：除非你是个怪物，不要演恐怖片。恐怖片观众是来看反角的，而他们会因为那些反角的出现再回来看续集。
评论： 这里的monster就是villain， 意思是除非演员扮演的角色就是反角（恶魔，歹徒，等等）本身， 否则千万不要去演惊秫片。
“除非你是个怪物，不要演恐怖片。” 不太正确。

To make a brief appearance, as in a film: She cameoed as Anne Boleyn in A Man for All Seasons.
cameo 能不能译成客串？

因为现在spoof movie一般翻为恶搞电影，我印象很深，所以翻的时候没有太过注意一致性。这5个词在本文中确实都是一个意思。我把spoof,sent up和parody都翻成恶搞。但没注意pastiche和self-mockery，谢谢。
