核心提示:白领使用英文信解决感情纠葛问题,因其文法格式优雅准确,不仅被网友恶搞成语法示例,更被翻译成各地方 言版本。
现代快报3月18日报道 一个在瑞信银行工作的白领给所有的朋友群发邮件,怒斥丈夫和小三背叛 自己的各种行为;丈夫和小三分别回信,让此女停止纠缠速速离婚……本来是一桩常见的斗小三狗血事件,但是重点在于,三位主角均是金融业高级白领,来往信件 皆为英文,各种优雅的语法被用作三角恋斗法,让网友大开眼界,将此称为“瑞信女斗小三”事件。开眼之余,手痒的网友还纷纷动笔翻译,南京话版、北京话版、 上海话版全部登场,还有人干脆拿这些英文信当例子,讲解起了四六级语法。
小三用英文说:
“加油啊,你会快乐的!”网上流传的这个“瑞信女斗小三”事件,女主角据传在瑞信工作而被称为“瑞信女”,邮件里的名字是“Lily”,小三则据传 是渣打银行的高级白领,被称为“渣打女”或“渣打小三”,邮件里被称呼为“Diane”,男主角则一直以“Yale”的名字出现,据传也在渣打银行工作。 网上流传的信件显示,瑞信女今年2月23日向小三发了一份控诉邮件,并转发给了所有的亲朋好友。这封邮件全部用英文写成,就算是翻译成中文,也能体会其用 语的百转千回:“作为一个女人,我真好奇你的假期带给你的精彩程度是否等于我和孩子们假期的糟糕程度?……我一直在权衡思量,你是否知道你是在摧毁一个家 庭,你是否知道你的喜悦带给我们的是无限的泪水?”此外,瑞信女还说,婚姻的不幸让孩子们产生了心理阴影,8岁的儿子怒斥小三为《哈利·波特》里的伏地 魔。这封信件群发了之后,男主角Yale同样以群发的形式,用英文回信,指责妻子不应把事件公开化:“我将坚定地等待并且站在她的身后!”
接下来,最大的亮点,小三“渣打女”的英文回信登场了。小三这样回应瑞信女的控诉:“同样作为一个女人,我想问你,难道你不应该有更好的生活吗?如 果有比躺在别人丈夫的怀里更糟糕的事情,那就是躺在一个恨你、不支持你并想抓住一切机会离开你的男人怀里。”最让人惊讶的是,作为小三的渣打女还在信件的 末尾以励志的姿态鼓励瑞信女重新面对人生:“我真心希望你现在所遭受的伤痛能尽快减轻,翻开人生新的一页。记住,你可以失去一份工作,失去一个伴侣,你永 远不能迷失了你自己。你应该得到真的幸福,我希望你很快就能找到。”
这几封来往信件让网友叹为观止,网友天晴说:“典型的小三逼宫,还要打着为原配着想的幌子,鄙视之。”网友ring则表示:“理直气壮的小三,她不 就是跟人家妻子说:‘加油啊,你会快乐的,我支持你!’她还觉得自己很有同情心么?”
网络沸腾了 八投行学英语
这几封邮件三月上旬就开始在网上流传,起初只是一则八卦,流传久了却让网友解读出了另外的意思。网友“yimaobuba”表示认识当事人,干脆手 绘了一张人物关系图,放在微博上,并把自己称为“真相大神”。借着“瑞信女事件”,yimaobuba干脆来了个大爆料,表示投资银行向来多八卦:“投行 (投资银行)八卦多的原因有这样几点:一是钱多,起年收入就上200万了;二是工作太忙,只能内部消化;三是投行男大多上学时是书呆子,不受欢迎,于是有 了成就后胡闹取得心理平衡。”受了瑞信女的启发,网上干脆掀起了一股“八投行”的热潮,网友们都贡献出了自己知道的投行八卦。最后有人总结道:“谁是投行 的?你才是投行的,你们全家都是投行的!”
投行的八卦还只是一方面。网友“rainbow”说:“英文书信是真懂礼貌,信里面你来我往的都要掐起来了,落款还是,你最亲爱的某某某,你最真诚 的某某某……”网友“Sandy”则根据全英文的信件总结道:“在我们国家,如果你在外资当白领,还是要掌握很好的英语,两口子打架也一定要用英语,而且 抄送给别人,否则不随时显示你是个使用英语的中国人。”他说,英文只是一方面,行文里浓重的公关味道则又是另一个启示:“当白领就要当个白领的骨干、精 英,要有PR(公关)的意识,积极制造舆论和应付危机公关的能力。”
网友“Rose”从事英语教育工作,干脆拿这几封信当起了英文教学素材,制作了一个“瑞信女事件四六级点评”,几封书信中经常出现“I hope”这位老师特别提示:“‘hope’不能表达成‘will hope’,高考常考,考生们要参考这几个‘I hope’句式。”
英文谁看得懂啊 要翻译成方言才好
全英文的书信再精彩,也有看不懂的网友。于是英文人才们便大笔一挥开始了翻译工作,界面语言就要友好得彻底,干脆翻译成亲切的方言得了。短短几天, 网上已经出现了北京话、上海话、南京话多个方言版本。
语言的不同,从抬头就能看出来。瑞信女的邮件中直接称呼小三为“Diane”,这还是外国人做派。到了北京话版本里,抬头就变成了“小 三儿”,上海人则客客气气地喊一声“亲爱额小戴”,至于南京话呢,气势汹汹的一句:“小三子!”北京话最后还来了一段郭敬明:“我是在万箭穿心啊,疼得没 着没落的,悲伤已经逆流成河。”上海话里伤心都带着商量的语气:“小戴,无有撒感觉?”南京话说起来,那是千头万绪无从说起:“唉,我这刻儿的心里头,像 是被戳了无数个窟窿眼儿,疼啊,疼得是一得儿办法都没得!眼泪水么,淌得就跟大河一样滴的!”

主题: Dear friends … Moving on ..
Dear friends,
After 13 years and 2 beautiful children together, Yale and I have parted our ways. Yale moved out last week.
Dear Diane/Tao Dan Yang,
Over the past couple of years, you knew everything about my family. You knew when my kids had their soccer tournaments, you knew when they had their swimming practices. You even knew their baby nicknames. On December 18th, 2009, on a noon flight, I took my children to the U.S. for Christmas vacation. On the very same day, December 18th, 2009, on an afternoon flight, you and Yale took off for the beaches of Phuket and shopping streets of Bangkok for Christmas vacation. Diane, as a fellow woman, I often wondered if the level of ecstasy this vacation had brought you equates to the level of devastation this vacation had brought to my children and me. Diane, I often asked myself what was it like for you to sleep in the arms of another woman’s husband, other children’s father? I wondered if you ever thought about us, the children and the wife, that we are made of flesh and blood, that we have feelings, that we could get hurt, very hurt, devastatingly hurt. I pondered if you knew you were destroying a family, if you knew your joy would bring endless tears to us.
We went to Beijing last week for Chinese New Year. Your clothes were in our Beijing home. My son screamed:” Mommy, don’t touch those, they are disgusting! Set them on fire, burn them to hell. They are the devil’s cloth!” My children are hurt. My daughter, 9 years old, now says “Mommy, I don’t ever want to get married.” My son, 8 years old, says “Diane is our Voldemort!” The psychological damage this affair has done to my children is catastrophic. They are forever emotionally damaged. With this, I announce you the winner.
How do I feel, Diane? This affair is like 10 thousand knives stabbing and chopping my heart all at once. This affair has left me in so much pain that I don’t know how to heal myself. This affair has taught me tear supply can actually be infinite. This affair has crushed me, leaving me a corpse walking around with no heart. I don’t know how to deal with this kind of pain. I don’t know how to move on. But I have children. I must move on. Diane, I pray to God that you will never have to experience this kind of betrayal and hurt. I wish you and Yale a happy life together because, after all, we are all women and we all deserve to be happy.
With sincere regards,
Lily

主题: Re: Dear friends … Moving on …
Lily,
Please do not bring the personal issues to the public. The truth of the facts is that our marriage had been falling apart 8 years ago, divorce had been in discussion 5 years ago. Our issues are known to all the people in the word! Diane had done nothing wrong for her part! I am firmly standing by and behind Diane. I will certainly hope she will marry me one day soon!
Trying to tell the people how evil I am and Diane is in this way is not going to succeed! All the people, who knows you, me and our marriage, supported my divorce, including my good friend Zhu Wei. I am sorry I have dragged everyone into this. Lily please move on!
Sincerely yours
Yale

发件人: Tao, Diane Dear Lily, I understand that you are going through a difficult time in your personal life, and I sincerely hope that you will find a way to deal with it that is the best for you and your children. I do understand how you feel. I also understand, however, that a marriage can only break apart from the inside. I do not appreciate your attempt to smear my reputation and paint me as the home wrecker. You know as well as Yale does that your marriage fell apart long before Yale and I even met. Whether or not I am in Yale’s life has nothing to do with the eventual outcome of your marriage. I am sure you understand this as well, but you nonetheless sought to burn me on the cross as the scapegoat for your failed marriage, which I do not believe is a mature thing to do. Your description of the emotional damage your children have suffered is disturbing indeed. I cannot help but wondering what you have been telling them. I would think that a mother’s first and foremost priority is to protect her children from any emotional damage, rather than using them as bargaining chips with a spouse or as props to win public sympathy. Yale is the children’s father and will always be. I am sure he will always love them and be the best father he can be to them. Wouldn’t it make more sense, for the sake of the children’s wellbeing, to emphasize to them that both their parents will always love them even though one parent will not be living with them all the time? I do not see what benefit there could possibly be to teach the children to hate their own father. You asked me how it was like to sleep in Yale’s arms. I also wanted to ask you, Lily, why would you want to hang on to someone who clearly does not want to be with you at all? Lily, you are intelligent, highly-educated and you have a high-paying and well-respected job. So why did you spend so much time and energy trying to force someone who does not care about you to stay with you? As a fellow woman I want to ask you this, don’t you think you deserve better? If there’s anything that is worse than sleeping in the arms of another woman’s husband, it is sleeping in the arms of someone who resents you, cannot stand you and wants to run away from you whenever he gets a chance. So Lily, why would you want to put yourself in that situation? Once again, don’t you think you deserve better? I sincerely hope that the pain you are currently feeling will subside soon and you can turn a new leaf in your life. Please remember, you can lose a job, you can lose a spouse, but you should never lose yourself. And please, do not vent your negative feelings on your children. They are innocent. Please always keep in mind their best interests rather than your own. You deserve true happiness, and I hope that you will find it soon. Best regards, Diane |
