😹How ‘Animal Crossing’ Became Coronavirus Therapy
動物森友會如何變成疫情療程
-Animal Crossing 動物森友會
-therapy 療法、治療
*動物森友會的日文原名是「動物之森」,英文翻譯故意選用Crossing(十字路口、交彙處)來象徵遊戲中跟動物交流的社交元素,中文譯名也遵循此概念
🦝🦝Laura Smykla had a bunch of errands to run on Glenorchy, the island where she and her husband are riding out the pandemic. Besides tidying up the floral landscaping and adding new fencing around her house, she visited a general store run by a pair of raccoons.
蘿菈史麥菈在格蘭諾奇島上有一堆差事要做,她和丈夫在此躲避疫情。除了整理花草景觀、在她家周圍加裝新圍欄,她還拜訪了由一對狸貓經營的雜貨店。
-errand 差事、跑腿,動詞搭配為run或do:I've got some errands to run/do
-ride out 安然渡過
-general store 雜貨店(不是指一般般的店XD)
🐹There was no need to wear a mask. Glenorchy exists only in the life-simulation videogame “Animal Crossing: New Horizons.” Nintendo Co. introduced the latest version of its wildly successful Animal Crossing franchise on March 20—just in time for the coronavirus pandemic to make real life a lot less palatable than fake life for billions of people.
她不必戴口罩,格蘭諾奇島只存在「集合啦!動物森友會」這款生活模擬電子遊戲中。任天堂於3月20號推出大獲成功的動物森友會系列最新作,剛好遇上冠狀病毒大流行使數十億人的現實生活遠遠不如虛擬人生。
-life-simulation 生活模擬,電子遊戲的一個類型
-franchise 特許經銷權、加盟連鎖,在這段句子中是指media franchise跨媒體製作、系列作品,例如哈利波特系列the Harry Potter franchise
-palatable 美味的、可接受的、滿意的
🦊“It’s a simulation of normal life without any of the stress or responsibility,” Ms. Smykla explained. “Like when you have your mortgage from Tom Nook, there is no interest, there is no late payments.”
「遊戲模擬正常生活,卻沒有任何壓力或責任。」史麥菈女士解釋說:「就像你跟狸克借貸時,沒有利息,也沒有滯納金。」
-mortgage 貸款,尤其指房屋貸款
-Tom Nook 狸克,遊戲中透過借貸來引導玩家進行各種活動的貍貓角色
-interest 利息
-late payment 滯納金
