返回信息流就像我们有火星文一样,英语也有搞笑版本的,其中一个海盗英语就是发展的非常完善的一个版本(并且不脑残),超可爱~~耍酷必备啊~(想想Johnny Depp(^﹃^)[ema20])
我得知一切源于我对米国同事囧哥说了一句Ahoy matey!其实这个打招呼的用语是我从一个软件的提醒邮件里看到的,就是Hello pal的意思,我觉得挺好玩的就用来跟他打招呼了,结果囧哥激动了,回了一句Shiver me timbers~!当时我就傻眼了,wiki了一下才知道这些话都源于一种特殊语体——海盗英语……碰巧这个米国同事是个海盗英语控,每天就开始和我说海盗英语。。。。呃,我就学了学。。。也算一门小二外吧。。哈哈~
查多了我才知道,这个语言竟然已经发展成体系了:
* 每年有一天是海盗英语的节日,叫做International Talk Like A Pirate Day ,“像海盗一样说话日”,在每年的九月19 (Cap'n Slappy's ex-wife's birthday.)还有自己专门的官网,官网地址:
o The Original Talk Like A Pirate Day Web site, http://www.talklikeapirate.com/ 这个官网有各种教程,哈哈~
o Talk Like A Pirate Day Web site, UK. http://www.yarr.org.uk/
o Talk Like A Pirate Day Web site, Australia. http://rrr.yaaarrr.com/
o Talk Like A Pirate Day Web site, NL. http://www.talklikeapirateday.nl/
* 有很多网站,教你如何一点一点学习海盗英语,还有卖海盗英语教程的书的~!!
* 网上有在线翻译English to Pirate translator,就像我们的火星文转换器一样,哈哈,不过好像不太灵光~~还是自己造句有意思~
* 几乎所有的海盗英语都是有典故的,比如出自于经典的海盗电影,海盗文学之类的~~或者有历史依据,这也就是为什么我觉得学起来很难。。。还得恶补电影啊~!
* 在网上打字聊天,也可以海盗:How to chat like a pirate on the Internet http://www.karateparty.org/content/view/419/37/
* 呃,海盗文还有海盗法语,海盗德语,海盗荷兰语(这个估计要难倒火星人了。。),甚至还有看来在他们的文化里海盗的确很酷哈,都纷纷追捧~估计跟我们觉得梁山好汉们都很酷一个道理。。。不过我估计这些都不太靠谱。。。因为我还看到了Mandarin Chinese版。。。http://www.talklikeapirate.com/howto.html#basic 结果打开以后是个贼诡异的配音。。。还说了奉天承运,皇帝诏曰。。。。。。不靠谱~!
* face book的界面语言列表里面甚至就有Pirate English,哈哈,什么时候人人网推出方言版,文言版,火星文版之类啊~
大家可以对比一下,这个是正常版本的fb:
这个是海盗版的:大家都是各种船长。。。可逗了~~
嗯,一开始我只是做了个类比,跟囧哥解释了半天我们中国也有火星文以后,他皱皱眉头说海盗英语不是这样的~~比如这个语言自古就有,而且不像火星文只是小盆友们用(囧哥好像都30几了~)至于为什么要说海盗英语呢,官方解释是:
“Talking like a pirate is fun. It's really that simple. It adds a zest, a swagger, to your every day conversation. Do you need another reason?”哈哈,简而言之就是绿豆蛙的名言——给生活加点料~!具体各种可以用海盗英语的理由参见:http://rrr.yaaarrr.com/node/2
海盗英语入门
入门的话,大家自己baigoogledu吧~~各种网站,视频+词汇表的,我自己也没好好研究,呵呵~
最简单的海盗英语守则有哪些呢?哈哈,经过我最近的研究,总结出如下入门守则:
Startin' Rules
* Instead of saying "I am", sailors say, "I be". Instead of saying "You are", sailors say, "You be". Instead of saying, "They are", sailors say, "They be". Ne'er speak in anythin' but the present tense! Use the word "be" a lot, 'tis a fine word.(所有时态人称都不管,you are, I am, I will be,全部都变成现在时be。这个be一出来,海盗味儿立刻就有了~)
* There be some general rules about speakin' like a Pirate. Firs' things first, ye take all words with "r" in 'em and stretch out the sound. So "word" becomes "worrrrrrrrd", "scurvy" becomes "scurrrrrrrrvy" and "murderer" becomes "murrrrrr-derrrrrrr-errrrrrr".(也奏是狂往带r的单词里面加r)
* Drop all your "g"'s when you speak and you'll get words like "rowin'", "sailin'" and "fightin'". "G's" at t'end of verbs be the mortal enemies of Pirates! "Pirating" should be a-spoken as "piratin", "drinking" becomes "drinkin", "falling" be "fallin".(所有的ing结尾的词都变成in,就像黑人英语似的)
* Dropping all of your "v"'s will get you words like "ne'er", "e'er" and "o'er".(所有的v用省文撇代替)
* Double up on all your adjectives and you'll be bountifully bombastic with your phrasing. Pirates never speak of "a big ship", they call it a "great, grand ship!" They never say never, they say "No nay ne'er!"(叠用形容词)
* Don't be sayin' "you", say "ye" or "yer". Don't be sayin' "for", be sayin' "fer". Don't be sayin' "to", be sayin' "ter". (常见的几个词一变,就很海盗了。就像你把所有的“我”都变成“偶”,一下就四娘了。)
* Whenever you be a-wonderin' what ter say next, say "Arrrr!" (这个Arrr是常见的海盗英语感叹词,要用凶残的发音才行,哈哈,视频教学里有~电影里也有~)
接下来就是一些常用词汇:
