女兒跟她的朋友們都很喜歡在網路上玩創造OC的遊戲，大抵就是從一些已經頗受歡迎的小說故事架構的世界觀基礎上，創造出自己的個人角色。前幾天，女兒給了我一小段關於她寫的OC的短文，當媽媽的我覺得好有畫面感啊！忍不住的自願幫她翻譯成中文版，還附帶畫了個小圖：
“芭特卡站在人來人往的賭場門前，懷疑著自己到底是怎麼下定決心跟著雨果到這兒來的。突然，有人向前拽住了她的手腕。當然囉，那人就是雨果，他帶著她擠過了幾個人，逕直地穿過了賭場大門。這下子他們真的走進了一個她從沒來過的地方。她一個人站在賭場的大廳裡，雨果丟下她拿籌碼去了。她可以感覺到周圍人們的高昂情緒，那聞起來像廉價香水的空氣，一種酒精裡混著香菸和雪茄，隱約中還帶點血腥的氣息，還有附近餐廳裡傳來的淡淡食物味道。她不知道賭場裡到底有沒有播放音樂，因為噹噹作響的吃角子老虎機，以及週遭人們的咒罵叫囂聲讓她根本啥都聽不清。她在賭場裡走動著，希望自己可以幸運地在這一團混亂中找到一個安靜的角落。”
不過，我覺得讀女兒寫的原文更有感。如下：
“Buttercup was standing in front of the busy entrance of the casino, doubting her own life choice of following Hugo to a casino. She suddenly felt a force on her wrist pulling her forward. Of course, it was Hugo, he dragged her straight through the door of the casino, squeezing through a few people as they do so. They have now officially entered uncharted territory for her. She was standing in the lobby of the casino, Hugo left her to get some token. She can feel the hyped emotions of everyone around her, the air of the casino smells like cheap perfume, alcohol mixed with cigars and cigarettes with a hit of blood, and some faint smell of food coming from nearby dinner. She wasn’t sure if the casino was playing any music, as the loud slot machines sounds combined with people fighting and yelling made it very hard for her to hear anything. She walked around the casino in the hope to find a quiet corner in all this chaos.”
