关于英文翻译

老实说，我写博客，只是希望和支持我的人联系。
Frankly speaking, I blog because I want to keep in contact with my supporters.

有人说我写博客破坏自己作为一个艺人的神秘感。
Some people had said that because of my blog, I have spoiled the mysteriousness of an entertainer.

我不会理会传统的想法。
But I don't agree to such old fashioned thinking.

我的网友当中，很多受英文教育的，本来就是要写纯中文的博客，发现，太多年轻人看不懂，读不明白我的内容。
Amongst my net pals, many of them are English educated. I initially had the intention to write only in Chinese, but I realized that many youngsters just couldn't read, nor understand what I was writing.

职业病啦，我始终无法忍受那么支持我的人，来了我的地盘，又看不懂我的内容，我觉得很过意不去咯，这就是我。。。
Occupational hazard lah. Really couldn't tolerate having so many supporters coming into my territory and not being able to understand my thoughts. Just not my style and don't feel good about it lor…

发现。。。 Discovery…

现在的一些人，态度消极多了，你不欣赏我，我就不做了，这样下去，地球如何运转呢？
These days, some people tend to have very negative mentality. If you don't appreciate my works, then I have to give up. If that was the attitude, then how can the earth still spin leh?

一些网友奉劝我放弃英文翻译，很失望这样的建议。
Some net pals even advised me to give up the English translation, and I felt utterly disappointed by those suggestions.

也许你们不明白我的处境，这个就好像，一个很欣赏你的人要来和你做朋友，你因为他听不懂你，你就叫他滚蛋的道理是一样的。
Perhaps some of you don't understand my situation. Imagine telling someone who appreciates you and wants to be your friend, ask them to get lost just because he or she don't understand what you are talking about.

如果你不会叫欣赏你的人滚开，你就应该明白为什么我的博客得要有两种语文。再说，我的电影已经悄悄的走到很多国家去，包括了一些在美国求学的孩子（非新加坡人），来新加坡访问我的时候告诉我，他们认识我的电影是因为，老师在上课的时候用我的电影做教材，所以认识我，这种情况，在中国更是普遍，对于很少注意我消息的朋友，你们不妨上百度网站看看， http://www.baidu.com, 然后上去他们的" 贴吧" ，输入" 小孩不笨" ，你就可以看到，亚洲网民，大陆，香港，台湾。马来西亚等地方的孩子观赏小孩不笨之后的一些回响。
If you're not the type who would tell that person who appreciates or admires you to get lost, then you would understand why I must have 2 languages on my blog. Besides, my movies have already made to many other countries. And some students in the US (non Singaporeans), who had come to Singapore to conduct interviews with me, were telling me that they knew my movies because their teachers had used my movies as teaching materials during their lessons. And these scenarios are even more common in China. For those of you who don't follow news about me that closely, you can drop by the Baidu website to have a look, http://wwwbaidu.com and then click on "贴吧 " (Post) and type in "小孩不笨 " (I Not Stupid). From there, you'll be able to see forum feedback from audience in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia etc posting their comments and thoughts about " 小孩不笨" (I Not Stupid).

这个网站，已经有四年了，我经常上去看看，有时侯也会留言，听听各地朋友的反应作为资料参考收获不少。
This website has been around for about 4 years, and I read it frequently. Sometimes I also post some messages, and listen to feedback from people all over Asia, and I use their comments for references, to which I do gain a lot from.

老实说，做什么事，不一定每一件都近人意，不过既然博客是一个属于自己的园地，只要我的出发点不是在损人害人，我还是会继续坚持下去的，不懂华语的朋友别担心，我不讳抛弃你们的！风再刮，雨再大，有我在你不用怕！
Honestly speaking, we can never please everyone in anything that we do. But since the blog is my own playground, and as long as my intentions are harmless, I will still hold my ground and blog. For those of you who can't read or understand Chinese, don't worry, I won't abandon you guys! No matter how strong the wind blows and how big the rain is, with me around, no sweat!

翻译的问题，各位不要太苛刻啦，其实是我要求翻译的风格接近原文的风格，我不希望，中文的很滑稽，英文的很正统，风格十万八千里，搞得不三不四，到时大家还是有话讲。
With regards to the translation, pls don't be so harsh lah. Actually, I have requested my translator to translate as closely as possible to what I have originally written. Because if the Chinese version was comical and the English version is so proper, then the entire style would have been miles apart, and would not fit in at all. And with that, people will start having other opinions about the translations again.

最后，针对我称呼成龙为 " 老人家" 的争执，让我来解说一下。
Lastly, let me clarify the dispute on " 老人家" old man.

称呼一个人老人家，其实在一定程度上是尊敬他的，在这里造个句子给大家参考比较：爷爷带着孙子散步，他老人家就是喜欢运动，锻炼身体。请各位成龙的支持者详看一下，梁导是那里不尊敬他？如果我形容成龙为：这老头子、老家伙。。。这，就是不尊敬他了，明白吗？
Addressing someone as an 老人家（lao ren jia ）in chinese, to a certain extent, is not exactly being disrespectful. I'll give you an example: Grandfather brought his grandson out for a walk. The "lao ren jia" just likes to go for an exercise, to keep fit. Would all Jackie Chan fans pls read it in detail, and tell see if I have been disrespectful to him? If I had described Jackie Chan as " 这老头子 " "the old fogey" or "老家伙 " "old goat"… Then I'm really being disrespectful, get it?

还半信半疑吗？可以试试看问问华文老师，如果是因为英文的直接翻译惹祸也请大家原谅，因为" 老人家" 的英文翻译还有更贴切的吗？有的话，我一定取代现有的old man 。
Still don't believe ah? you can ask the Chinese language teacher. If it's because of the English translated term ,can any one tell me, what would be a more appropriate or the closer term for " 老人家 " ? If there's really a better or correct term for it, I'll replace it without any hesitating .

真的是。。。。伤脑筋哦！！！ Aiyoh, really headache leh!!!

呼呼呼。。。。 (Liang Po Po panting away again…)
