B站刷屏的后浪英文可不是thewavesbehind这样说老外可不明白

原标题：B站刷屏的《后浪》英文可不是“the waves behind”，这样说老外可不明白！

这两天，B站的一条名为视频《后浪》的宣扬视频，刷爆了朋友圈。这支宣扬片全文只要600多字，时长不到4分钟，经由国家一级艺人何冰动情演绎，给人留下深刻印象。

跟着老戏骨何冰声情并茂的讲演，视频里有两句话，看得人热血翻涌：

“你们具有了，咱们从前朝思暮想的权力，挑选的权力。你们有幸，遇见这样的年代。可是年代更有幸，遇见这样的你们。”

可也是这两句话，却在微博、群众号、朋友圈引来许多群嘲。

“后浪”一词也火了起来。

那么“后浪”的英语怎么说呢？

咱们咱们都知道，“后浪”来源于一句古诗：长江后浪推前浪。

这儿，“后浪”比方年青一代。

所以假设没有前后语境（解说），直接把“后浪”翻译成“the waves behind”或许“the rear waves”，由于缺少文明背景，老外是无法了解的。

一般来说，能够把“后浪”的本体直接翻译出来，也便是“年青人”、“新代代”、“年青一辈”。这么一想，其实“后浪”的英语就分外的简略，能够翻译为young people; youngsters; new generation; younger generation。

有必要留意一下的是，美国人还有一个习气，便是会把70后说成generation X；80后说成generation Y；90后说成generation Z。

别的，趁便记一个词：Millennials（千禧一代），指1981-1996之间出世的那一代人，一个词包括80、90后两代人。

最终，为咱们找来《后浪》的全英译版《Rising Waves》。（这儿由于有前后文的衬托，把“后浪”翻译为Rising Waves则能协助了解。）

以下为中英译文全文：翻译：许景城（广东外语外贸大学英文学院，英国班戈大学英语文学院）

Those who speculate about “humanity further doomed generation after generation”should take you into observation, just like I am now,viewing you, grateful; thanks to you, the world is growing fonder of China,for the best view of a country rests just upon the youth who inhabit it.

由于你们，这世上的小说、音乐、电影所体现的芳华，就不再是忧伤苍茫，而是仁慈、英勇、忘我、临危不惧。

Because of you, the youth represented by novels, melodies, and movies on Earth will be defined not by sadness or loss in any guise whatsoever, but by kindness, courage, selflessness, and dauntlessness withal.

是心里有火，眼里有光。不用活成咱们幻想中的姿态，咱们这一代人的幻想力，不足以幻想你们的未来。

Youth will see fire in your heart, and light in your eyes.Never should you lead a life as we’ve envisioned, for our imagination is too meager to tell what your future will look like.

假如你们仍然要求咱们的祝愿，那么，奔涌吧，后浪，咱们在同一条奔涌的河流。

If you still expect best wishes from us,then we’re happy to hearten you: Please surge, rising waves!We are all in the same surging river!
