102-part 04 (翻譯) - 六人行

※ 引述《samchiu (閒祭秋)》之銘言：
: Rachel: So, got any advice?
: Y'know, as someone who's recently been- dumped?
: 有什麼高見？就是，以最近剛被甩的人的立場？
: Ross: Well, you may wanna steer clear of the word 'dumped'.
: Chances are he's gonna be this,
: this broken shell of a man,
: y'know, so you should try not to look too terrific,
: I know it'll be hard. Or, y'know, uh, hey!
: I'll go down there, and I'll give Barry back his ring,
: and you can go with Carol and Susan to the OB/GYN...
: 呃，你最好別用「甩」之類的詞，他有可能會是這樣，
: 拖著空虛的軀殼，知道嗎，所以你最好不要看起來狀態很好，
: 我知道這很困難。或者，就是，呃，嘿！
: 我去那邊，幫你把戒指拿去還給巴瑞，
: 而你跟卡蘿還有蘇珊去看婦產科...

我對這裡this的翻譯有點意見
我對這段台詞的解讀，斷句上認為應該是
Chances are he's gonna be this, this broken shell of a man, y'know,
so you should try not to look too terrific.
那兩個 this 並不是真的在講「這樣」，
我覺得是有點hesitation,
口語當中有些 this 並不是指示詞，而是套用語言學言談分析的解釋
是 referent known to the speaker but not to the hearer
就是我說時心中有個指涉對象但我猜測你應該不知道
很難用中文對等地去翻，如果是我的話會直接省略掉
因為其實真的不影響解讀。

y'know, well, boy 這些都是discourse marker
功用是在言談上幫助說話者聽話者的解讀
但沒有實質的意義的，如果是字幕工作者一般都會省略（贅字）
（尤其上字幕通常一行都有字數限制）

Sara : You just don't like sports.
Grissom : That's not true. I've been a baseball fan my whole life.
Sara : Baseball. Well, that figures. All the stats.
Grissom : It's a beautiful sport.
Sara : Since when are you interested in beauty?
Grissom : Since I met you.
