[求譯] 請好心人幫譯 98國安局特考英文

[corleone5566 (ooooo)]

求中譯／英譯：
              中譯

屬句子／段落：

     A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it,

then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. “Why?” asks the confused

waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly

punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. “I am a panda,”

he says, at the door. “Look it up.” The waiter turns to the relevant entry

and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black-and-white

bear-like mammal. Native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.” So, punctuation

really does matter, even if it is only occasionally a matter of life and death.


    In 2003 Lynne Truss published Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance

Approach to Punctuation. The book became a runaway success in the U.K.,

hitting number one on the best-seller lists and prompting extraordinary

headlines such as “Grammar Book Tops Bestseller List” (BBC News).

This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset when it is

mishandled. The above passage is printed on its back cover.


我的試譯：

          不是我不打  是我真的不會翻

          單字大部分看得懂, 但是組成文章完全看不懂意思

          第一大段, 使用熊貓來說明 是有什麼含意嗎? (有引用寓言故事?)

提問：

          Eats, shoots and leaves  吃飯  射擊  離開 ???

          完全牛頭不對馬嘴  請好心的大大指導一下

          1. 這篇文章大概在講什麼?

          2. Eats, shoots and leaves  怎麼翻才對?

          感謝!!
