實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Manga 漫畫(2)

Joel: So, anyway, you talked about city hunter. That's a Japanese comic? OK, tell me about that?

喬爾：之前你談到了《城市獵人》這部漫畫。這是日本漫畫，對吧?和我們說說這部漫畫吧。

Tres: I really don't remember much. It was some guy that was wanted, I guess for murder, I don't think he really did it. I think. I'm not sure. But, yeah, the issues I treked through, this guy was searching for a little elementary school girl, and eventually he found her, but right before they could reunite, the cop came in and they started fighting and the cop beat him really bad and shot him a few times but the guy still escaped.

特雷斯：我不太記得了。大概是有關一個因為謀殺而被通緝的男人的故事，不過我覺得他沒有進行謀殺。我也不太確定。我記得，這個男人在尋找一個小學女孩，他終于找到了她，可是就在他們重聚之前，警察出現(xiàn)了，然后他們開始打斗，警察把他打得很慘，而且還朝他開了幾槍，不過這個男人還是成功逃走了。

Joel: So this is just one comic book or it's a whole series?

喬爾：這是單本漫畫還是一個系列故事?

Tres: It was, what do you call, BJ Jump from like 1992.

特雷斯：這部漫畫從1992年開始在BJ Jump周刊上連載。

Joel: What's BJ jump?

喬爾：BJ jump是什么?

Tres: It's a weekly thick comic book, so it has many comics inside.

特雷斯：是漫畫周刊，里面有許多漫畫。

Joel: Oh, I see, so it's just one story.

喬爾：哦，我明白了，所以每期就只登一篇。

Tres: Right, they have various comics.

特雷斯：對，周刊里有許多不同的漫畫。

Joel: You can buy that in the United States?

喬爾：在美國可以買到嗎?

Tres: My sister brought it back from me when she studied in Japan in Junior High School.

特雷斯：我記得那是我姐姐在日本上高中的時候從日本給我買回來的。

Joel: I think I remember you telling me about some other comic book that you used to read when you were a kid or..?

喬爾：我記得你說過你小時候看過的一些漫畫書，是嗎?

Tres: I can tell you about the comic book I read as an adult. (OK. OK.) I think the best Japanese comic out there today is Nijuuseki-shonen, "20th Century Boys" and it's a story of kids who make up this fantasy world and how they save the world and then when they become adults they learn that all these things that they've created are starting to come true. The rest you should read.

特雷斯：我可以跟你說說我成年后看的漫畫書。(好)我認為現(xiàn)在日本最好的漫畫是《20世紀少年》，這部漫畫講的是，一群虛構出一個世界的孩子如何守護這個世界，還有他們成年后發(fā)現(xiàn)所有他們編造的事情都成為了現(xiàn)實。具體內容你要自己去看漫畫。

Joel: What does a comic book cost in Japan anyway?

喬爾：日本漫畫書大概多少錢?

Tres: You can buy one brand new from say 500 Yen to up to a 1,000 Yen, or you can go to convenience stores and buy the weekly sale books that have various comics inside, which I think are maybe 270 Yen, I think, or you can go to a used comic book store and buy the popular comics for somewhere from 250 and 350 yen.

特雷斯：500到1000日元可以買一本嶄新的漫畫書，或者你可以去便利店買連載多個漫畫的周刊，周刊大概要270日元，你還可以去二手漫畫書店，花250到350日元就可以買到受歡迎的漫畫。

Joel: I'm gonna have to buy your used ones for a starter kit.

喬爾：作為入門者，我要買你的漫畫書。

Tres: Alright. I can help you out.

特雷斯：好。我可以借你。

Joel: OK, hook me up.

喬爾：好，給我介紹一下。
