刚刚看了下我昨天视频里面的翻译, 感觉越看越不对劲呀。 我的翻译是:

 

你再看, 你再看, 你再看我就把你吃了。 
Keep looking, keep looking, keep looking and I will eat you. 

 

I felt like I went Chinglish on that one or something (~_~) 

 

Thank you. 

 

P.S. It is a line from a commercial I watched as kid. don't know if anyone remembers it.

This reminds me of the film Taxi Driver, in which Robert De Niro asks the question, " You talking to me? You talking to me? You talking to me?" Although it is a question, it is not meant to be one. It is meant for intimidating the other party.

"Say 'what?' again! Say 'what?' again! I dare you. I double dare you, m***********! Say 'what?' one more g****** time!"

(Samuel L. Jackson, in Pulp fiction)

Same with this one, in which you should understand the opposite of the order given if you don't want a bullet in your arm.

 

I would translate 你再看, 你再看, 你再看我就把你吃了 the same way: an order to look again: "Take one more look! Take one more look and I'll eat you alive". It would even look more menacing with one or two f-words here and there.

You look again? Look again? I will eat you if you dare to look again.

Well the video is about one of the coolest scenes (if not the coolest) in one of the coolest movies ever (if not the coolest). But I admit it can be confusing if you haven't seen the movie  :mrgreen: . Hopefully you're one of the few who haven't seen it. Pulp Fiction is usually quite popular. But rest assured: you can't really consider that I'm spoiling anything. If you haven't seen the movie you can consider it a trailer. There's much more about this movie than just this scene.

 

But it was to illustrate why I would go for that kind of a translation: "Take one more look! Take just one more look, and I'll eat you alive".

What's actually happening in the video? 

 

Can't believe you've never seen Pulp Fiction....Not a Tarantino fan myself, but this is the coolest and funniest film ever.
