今天翻译奥维德的《达芙妮》,最喜欢的一句是:
Filius huic Veneris ,"Figat tuus omnia,Phoebe, te meus arcus " ait,"quantoque animalia cedunt cuncta deo,tanto minor est tua Gloria nostra."
我来用英语瞎翻一下
The son of Venus said to him " Your arrow could shoot everything, Phoebus, my arrow could shoot you. As how much animal yield to a god, likewise,your glory is less than mine.
最后一句企鹅译本翻的比较带感(
As mortal creatures must yield to god, your glory will likewise prove to be subject
大胆猜测一下,当阿波罗嘲讽丘比特的时候,丘比特内心可能:“mmp 敢嘲笑我,我要给你点儿颜色尝尝!”
于是阿波罗后文就变成了舔狗🤦♀️
