    唐飛唱洋歌

    與剛從瑞典斯德哥爾摩歸來第二天的飽嗝談及即將發片的Depeche Mode(流行尖端)…

    不知不覺切入了唱片人名/ 團名的翻譯,第一個被痛批的是90年代唱片公司拿來跟新好男孩(Backstreet boys)抗衡的男生團體Boyzone男孩特區是也,《男孩特區》這樣響叮噹的團體也有不為人知的過去,因為在未走紅前,有一個俗到不行的中文翻譯名曰—《保麗龍》,大家看到這裡想必大吃好幾斤﹗
    另外付予《小甜甜布蘭妮》、《新好男孩》這樣一個永垂不朽的名號,該公司卻也幹了不少令人捏把冷汗的事。記得唐飛擔任行政長時,唱片公司有一位偶像男歌手名叫Don Philip名字也取為《唐飛》不知是要為創意拍手還是苦笑!?
     
    還有大名鼎鼎的藝人在過度的創意下,也有個鄉土十足台灣名,名叫莊泰萊各位看到這裡也可以猜猜這位叱吒風雲、轟動80的俊美貝斯手是誰?想必大家對答案十分好奇,Duran Duran(杜蘭杜蘭)裡的John Taylor大家想不到吧,一般遵循古法譯成《約翰泰勒》倒是安全的作法。在大家高喊本土化時,英籍John Taylor也在這股潮流中舉手答有﹗
     
    之前在一家網路書店上班,資料庫的管理在這時感到十分頭痛,用誰捨誰考慮個半天,如果是New Releases翻的爛還是要硬著頭皮打字上去,backcatalog還好解決就以大家比較熟知的列入,奉勸還在這些崗位上辛苦的同志們,遇到這樣翻譯人名/團名的問題,如果舊有的不是太離譜就照著延用下去吧﹗新的藝人需要發揮創意也不要太過頭。
     
    在這感謝風雲唱片的朋友,當年帶我進去Hardrock Cafe目睹年少的偶像John Taylor的表演。謝謝﹗
