school prank一览(上)

有天看字幕版的某校园剧……对，又是字幕，然后发现Wedgie这词好像被选择性过滤了，然后忽然想起来去找找各字幕组里有没有关于这词的靠谱翻译，随机看了几篇没找着……字典里面那个楔形后跟女鞋大概也是某字典编纂人员一拍脑袋跟wedge通假了的后果，其实吧，wedgie就是这个：



这个属于确实没法简短翻译的东西，正如happy corner在专有名词化之前在香港地区也就只有一个叫撞柱子的诨名，远不似happy corner及阿鲁巴这样有专门指向（参见http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Corner）……所以如果翻做“拉高内裤”的话，也很难让看到的人理解这是一种什么样的行为，尤其是在官话体系内 ……换在贵阳话里倒是可以做“逮裤儿”一类……不过这种没有对应的实指动／名词，还是音译比较靠谱……

－－－－－－－－引子结束的分割线－－－－－－－－
追溯这词的当口， 俺猛然瞟到一个词条，叫school prank（http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_pranks），里面例举了十几种主要是在北美常见的恶作剧，真乃校园剧翻译之必备参考：看到这些词如果没有和国内对应的话就别试图翻清爽了吧……

以下为转载兼试图说明……
1.1 Debagging

Debagging, also known as depantsing or "pantsing" and various other names ["dacking" in Australia] is the act of pulling down a person's pants and sometimes also the person's underwear, which reveals the person's genitalia. The most common method is to sneak up behind the intended victim, grab the pants', shorts', or skirt's waistband, and apply a quick downward tug before the victim is aware of the debagger's presence.[1] Note: In some states, (e.g. Massachusetts) that is considered sexual harassment and can result in suspension and/or expulsion.

这个就是脱裤子（贵阳话的“垮裤儿”），看来是世界通行的作弄手段，中小学男生皮带不离身的大部分就是为了防这个吧……不过话说还有个体育课……LOL

1.2 Circle game

The central theme in the Malcolm in the Middle "Dinner Out" TV episode is the circle game (also known as hole-tempting or ball-gazing), where by a person gets someone else to look at their hand while forming a circle below the waist. If they look, the prankster gets to hit them.[2]

The Circle Hand Game can be traced back to 1929 when the 'brothers' of the City College of New York's Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity were searching for a new way to haze pledges without technically breaking CCNY's anti-hazing rules.[3]

这个怎么说……换成中文音响效果应该是：“你看你看……砰……啪……啊……” ， 不试图翻译

1.3 Flat tire or flat foot

The heel of the victim is trodden upon, which may cause the victim to stumble. Stepping on the rear portion of the shoe as the foot lifts and thereby removing it is also a "heels" variant known as a "flat tire". A variant is to kick their heel forwards as it lifts.[1]

踩鞋跟……或者踢鞋跟，总之是跟在别人后面玩的……

1.4 Hertz doughnut

This prank fools the victim into giving their permission to get punched. The prankster approaches the chosen target with a closed doughnut or pastry box and asks "Would you like a hertz doughnut?" If the target says yes, the prankster then punches the target in the arm and asks "Hurts, don't it?" (which sounds like "doughnut").

谐音游戏，没有在国内推广的可能性……就像咱们睡觉应该数水饺而不是数sheep一样，没有语音基础推广了也没意义……

1.5 Indian or Chinese burn

Known primarily as an "Indian burn" or "Chinese burn" in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, "buffalo skin" in India, "snake bite" or "Indian rub" in Canada, an "Indian sunburn" or "Indian rug burn" in the United States (except in some midwest states such as Wisconsin where it is known as a snakebite), "policeman's glove" or "hundred needles" in Hungary, "barbed wire" in the Netherlands, "needles" in Bulgaria and "Brennessel" ("stinging nettle") in Austria and the southern parts of Germany, "thousand needle stings" in the northern parts of Germany, "thousand needles" in Sweden, "Nettle" in Poland and Russia, "French Cuff" in Denmark, this is a prank done by grasping the victim's forearm firmly in both hands, and then twisting the hands in opposite directions about the victim's arm, causing the tender skin to stretch, making it red and sore.[1]

拧手……这属于赤裸裸的靠力量欺负小朋友了，在我天朝也没什么市场

1.6 Kancho

Kancho is a prank played out in Japan;[4] it is performed by clasping the hands together so the index fingers are pointing out and attempting to insert them sharply into someone's anal region when the victim is not looking.[5] It is similar to the wedgie or a goosing.

这个是有学名的，叫童子拜观音……以前我们小时候跳马第四关还是第五关叫幺姑娘照镜子，基本是一个原理...搜到一张神图，这个一定要放一下……


1.7 "Kick me"

A note (commonly reading "Kick me") is attached to the back of an unsuspecting victim. This prank may be performed with Post-it notes or other objects like paper and tape.[1]

这个没技术含量了……就是贴纸条，大家都玩过……

1.8 Mooning

"Mooning" is displaying one's bared buttocks to someone, so-called because the buttocks are generally not suntanned, so resembles a full moon. It is commonly performed out of windows of moving buses and cars. There are rare cases when the person is in a room and the lights are off, but once the lights are turned on, the offender's buttocks are visible, hence the name "full moon". There are cases where the pants are pulled down in the front to show the frontal areas.

一样的脱裤子，不过这个是主动的……所以其实脱裤子这个行为作为恶作剧的构成要素完全不在乎你脱的是谁的裤子，关键词是主动…………翻成“亮屁屁”或者 “亮萝兜”？

好长，剩下的翻篇贴……
