故城

(Act 1)

Ah Beng calls the telephone operator:
Ah Beng: "Could you please tell me the time difference between Singapore and New York?"
Operator: "Just a minute..."
Ah Beng: "Thank you."
Ah Beng got his answer and cut off the line.

(Act 2)

At a bar in New York, the man sat next to Ah Beng told the bartender,
"JOHNNIE WALKER, SINGLE."
and his companion said, "JACK DANIELS,SINGLE."
The bartender turned to Ah Beng and asked, "AND YOU, SIR?"
Ah Beng replied: "Tan Ah Beng, MARRIED."

(Act 3)

After completing a jigsaw puzzle he'd been working on for quite sometime,
Ah Beng proudly shows off the finished puzzle to a friend.
"It took me only 5 MONTHS to do it," Ah Beng said.
"FIVE MONTHS? Why did you take so long." the friend asked.
Ah Beng replied, "No, it is not long at all, look at the box, it says it
is for 4 to 7 years".

What an honest person. He makes me think about one guy who's called Forrest Gump. Their lives are so simple, the world for them always is pure, peace and easy.

翻译一下啦。。。[em01]

故城

有些文字和俚语是双关或者多意的，不好翻译，直翻容易变味。

我给提示一下：

(Act 1) Just a minute...接线员是在说：“等一会。。。” 而不是“只一分钟”

(Act 2) JOHNNIE WALKER 和JACK DANIELS 是啤酒的牌子，Single 这里指单份的意思，而不是阿笨理解的“单身”

(Act 3) 玩具盒上写的 4 to 7 years 是指适合四到七岁的孩子

还是看不懂啊。[em09]

出难题呀这不是....硬着头皮翻吧

(一)。阿笨打电话给接线员。

阿笨：请你告诉我新加坡和纽约的时差是多少？

接线员：(等)一分钟...

阿笨：谢谢！

阿笨满意地挂了电话。

(二)纽约一家酒吧里，坐在阿笨边上的男人对酒保说，“约翰-沃克，单(份)”。

他的同伴也说，“杰克-丹尼儿，单(份)”。

酒保转身问阿笨，“先生，您呢？”

阿笨回答：“谭阿笨，(已)婚”

(三)阿笨花了不少时间终于完成一件拼图，自豪地对他的一个朋友炫耀

“我只花了5个月的时间”阿笨说。

“5个月？怎么会这么长？”朋友问。

阿笨回答，“不长啊，你看看这盒子上，写着是4到7年呀”(其实是4到7岁)
