[转帖]燕姿博客翻译

转贴自“孙燕姿的姿迷世界 逆光”關於燕姿的BLOG與最新留言的中文翻譯嗨，昨天凌晨我就看到論壇裡有留言說http://grandenough.blogspot.com/ 是燕姿的BLOG了，然後今天中午又看到BLOG裡多了篇文章，沒有立即翻譯的原因是我要做一些查證的工作。結果如何呢？有些訊息要在這裡告訴大家：

（1）這真的是燕姿的BLOG嗎？我還沒得到燕姿的親口證實，或者應該說我還不確定燕姿是否願意承認這真的是她的BLOG。或許燕姿還想保持一些神秘，或許燕姿想等到適當時機再說明，日後我們就會知道了。就我個人而言，我有充分理由相信這確實是燕姿的BLOG沒錯——不管燕姿承不承認 :p
（2）雖然這BLOG裡面有相當程度的私人成分，但我百分百肯定這不是燕姿所謂她寫給自己看的那個「真正私人的私密BLOG」。
（3）燕姿雖然還沒承認這BLOG是她的，但她要我幫忙翻譯讓更多人看得懂，此外她也歡迎大家回覆，不用擔心會打擾到她的私人空間，因為這根本不是她的私密BLOG。我想，在目前燕姿沒跟任何唱片公司有合約的狀況下，這個BLOG可以做為我們和燕姿交流的管道。

以下，就先幫大家翻譯BLOG裡最新的這篇留言囉（至於先前的9篇，我盡量找時間看能不能補上，但我最近自己剛創業，確實很忙，只能盡量囉）

（標題）29 going on 20
（標題）隨著20世代離去的29歲

So 30 is the new 20. Or so they say. I suppose it all boils down to whether you can wear mini skirts and feel absolutely fab. Personally, I don't think any woman over 30 should wear mini skirts. It's like trying to suck on a holey straw. Holey moley, I don't even know what that means!
30歲就像20歲是個新的開始，似乎有人這麼說。我覺得重點是妳能不能穿迷你裙而不讓人覺得很奇怪。就我個人來說，我不認為任何超過30歲的女人該穿迷你裙。那就好像試著用一根中空的麥桿當吸管一樣不恰當，天啊，我甚至不知道那是在幹嘛！

But honestly, with gravity pulling at your knee caps, who wants to see a 30 something in a mini, give me another Madonna in her leotards and I'll look the other way.
不過，老實說，膝蓋都因為地心引力而下垂了，有誰會對迷你裙下30高齡的東西感興趣？就像另一個穿了緊身衣的Madonna，我會裝作沒看見。

But 30 year olds can eat ice cream.
不過，30歲了還是可以吃冰淇淋。

The other day I brought my niece to Island Creamery just 5 minutes away from my place. It's always the same old drill:
前幾天，我帶著我的小姪女（姊姊燕佳的女兒）去離我住處只有5分鐘路程遠的Island Creamery買冰淇淋，依舊是相同的問答。

"What flavor do you want?"
“想要什麼口味的？”我問。
"Pink."
“粉紅色的。”小姪女回答。
"As in strawberry? You want strawberry ice cream?"
“像是草莓嗎？妳要草莓口味的冰淇淋？”我問。
"Chocolate."
‘’不是，我要巧克力的。”小姪女回答。

This delusion of being a princess surrounded in pink glitterati has led her to think all things pink. It doesn't fail to amuse me when she always inevitably point to the dark, (not unlike FECAL my dear) swarthy brown paste of ice. It blows her fantasy, but i guess chocolate is always the better flavour and boy does she KNOW IT.
這就好比公主被身邊粉紅色的名流所包圍，而產生所有的東西都是粉紅色的錯覺。當她把小木杓在黑黑的、棕色已融化成糊狀冰淇淋（不要把它想成便便，親愛的）裡挖的時候，總是讓我覺得很好笑。那激發了她的想像，我想她確實知道巧克力總是較好的口味。

Speaking of princesses, I never had a barbie doll. I think my younger sister might have had one...During my time, barbie dolls were expensive! At 7, Barbies were overpriced blonde, curvy, ideal woman packed in plastic.
說到公主，我從來都沒有芭比娃娃。我想我妹妹燕美可能有一個……當我還小的時候，芭比娃娃還很貴！我七歲的時候，芭比娃娃是有著白皮膚、金黃色頭髮、碧藍的眼珠與完美曲線的塑膠製完美女性。

I had the most hilarious time with this precocious class mate in primary school who had many and I, being the enviable moody girl at 7, I never failed to remind her the hideousness of her foreign treasured toy. I think it must have plagued her no end, she never brought them to school after that.
念小學的時候，我和一位擁有許多芭比娃娃的早熟同學度過一段好笑的時光。那時的我是個充滿嫉妒心且喜怒無常的七歲小女生，總是不斷跟她說她的寶貝外國玩具有多麼讓人討厭。我想，那一定不斷地讓她感到難堪，她再也沒有把那些芭比娃娃帶到學校了。

At 30, I will like to say, yes I was jealous of you having possesed the most coveted toy in my youth and I'm sorry if I made you feel victimised.
現在30歲了，我想說的是，我曾經很嫉妒妳擁有那些我小時候曾經夢寐以求的玩具，同時我也很抱歉如果我讓妳感到受傷害。

After all, I'm all grown up now.
畢竟，我已經完全長大了。
