86版央视《西游记》又火了——这次是英文版!

剧中的经典台词变成了英文,配音演员的声线与原版还很贴近,不少网友感到新奇又亲切。


在英文版《西游记》中,师徒四人都有了“洋气”的英文名:
唐僧 Tang Priest
悟空 Monkey
八戒 Pigsy
沙僧 Sandy

熟知的地名都有了英文叫法,比如:
花果山 Flower and Fruit Mountain
水帘洞 Water Curtain Cave
东海龙宫 Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea

一些耳熟能详的名称也都被翻成了英文,比如:
大圣 Great Sage
定海神针 Tide Control Pillar
如意金箍棒 At-Will Gold-Banded Staff

在一些大家倒背如流的片段里,孙悟空和银角大王会用英文 battle,妖精对唐僧的称呼也是一口一个“honey”,八戒会叫猴哥“brother”,沙僧也会揶揄地称猪八戒为“Mr. Pig”(姓猪的)。

电视剧《西游记》于1986年在央视首播,堪称最家喻户晓的国产电视剧。而这次英文版《西游记》的走红,又让这个版本在各大视频平台上火了一把。

那些经典台词被译成英文后,更让人耳目一新。

我叫你一声,你敢答应吗?Dare you answer me when I call your name?

你是猴子请来的救兵吗?Did the ape send you?

俺老孙是花果山水帘洞洞主。I'm the King of Water Curtain Cave on Flower and Fruit Mountain.

以后你要是闯祸了,别说是我的徒弟。If you cause trouble one day, just don't say you are my disciple.

此外,在唐僧和八戒误喝了子母河(Motherhood River)的水,险些要“怀孕”的桥段中,用英文哭着喊着的八戒也被很多网友讨论。

城外那条河叫做子母河,我国二十以上之人才敢喝那河中水,喝了便要降生孩儿。你师傅和你师弟喝了子母河的水,成了胎气,想是要生娃娃了。
The river you drank from is Motherhood River. Only those over twenty in our country drink from the river, which makes us pregnant. I'm afraid your master and brother are pregnant now.

不少网友在看过片段后表示:这些台词熟悉到英文我都能听懂了。如果英语考试有这个,那还不得考满分吗?


也有一些网友在看过片段之后开始对其他英文翻译感到好奇:



据极目新闻消息,英文版本是于去年在央视某视频平台上线的,以往只在英语教学圈子里流传,没想到时隔一年就成为了各大短视频平台的焦点。


如果想在重温经典的同时又学习英语、练习听力,英文版《西游记》是个不错的选择哦。
