| 戴玨 ?2008-04-17 15:16:43?? 黯然 | |
大致是翻得不錯的。太多，得慢慢看。
1.黯然不必要，flutter沒完全翻出來，“翩然飛落”如何？sign是不是錯了？sigh吧？
3.its mask of vastness，vastness應該翻出來，後面說變小是一種對比。
5. The mighty desert，沙漠和小草有強弱的對比，mighty的翻譯可斟。
6.miss的翻譯可以更准確：錯過，沒看到等等。
9. Once we dreamt that...曾經，一度。
10. Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart 我心中哀如止水...hush表達了一種過程，而非狀態：悲哀在我心中平靜下來...
