chott chatさんからのタレコミ。ありがとう。

しっかし、英語のチェーンメールって、なんでこんなに長文が多いんだろうね。それにたいてい起こる不幸は交通事故。そんなに交通事故って多いのかな。日本と欧米の交通事故の人口比って調べたら何かわかるかな。調べないけど。

文中で「７人にこのメッセージを送って」と書いてあるわりには最後の方に「最低でも５人に送って」と食い違うあたりとか、改行使わないでスペース多用して、まるで携帯メールみたいなやり方とか、ほんと、世の東西を問わず、チェーンメールっていい加減で下らないね。

今回は超訳載せません。仕事が忙しくってそこまでやってられない。それに今、俺38度の熱出してるし。

でも補足しておくと、表題のGoosebumpsってのはどうやら「鳥肌」のこと。でも普通は goose bumps と2語に分ける。俗語表現でつながっちゃったのか、それとも学のないやつが書いてるのか。

Subject: FW: A poem that gives you Goosebumps!! HAGD Louise ;o] :o]

-        A drunk man in an Oldsmobile       They said had run 
the light       That caused the six-car pileup       On 
109 that night.       When broken bodies lay about      
 "And blood was everywhere,"      ; "The sirens screamed out 
eulogies,"       For death was in the air.       "A 
mother, trapped inside her car,"       Was heard above the 
noise;       Her plaintive plea near split the air:     
  "Oh, God, please spare my boys!"       She fought to loose her 
pinned hands;       "She struggled to get free,"       
But mangled metal held her fast       In grim captivity. 
       Her frightened eyes then focused       "On where the back 
seat once had been,"       But all she saw was broken glass and 
       Two children's seats crushed in.       Her twins 
were nowhere to be seen;       "She did not hear them cry," 
       "And then she prayed they'd been thrown free,"       
"Oh, God, don't let them die!"       Then firemen came and cut 
her loose,"       "But when they searched the back,"    
   "They found therein no little boys,"       But the seat belts 
were intact.       They thought the woman had gone mad  
     "And was traveling alone,"       "But when they turned to 
question her,"       They discovered she was gone.      
 Policemen saw her running wild       And screaming above the 
noise       "In beseeching supplication,"       Please 
help me fin d my boys!       They're four years old and wear blue 
shirts;       "Their jeans are blue to match.""       
"One cop spoke up, ""They're in my car,"       And they don't 
have a scratch.       They said their daddy put them there 
       "And gave them each a cone,"       Then told them both 
to wait for Mom       To come and take them home.       
"I've searched the area high and low,"       But I can't find 
their dad.       "He must have fled the scene,"        
"I guess, and that is very bad."       "The mother hugged the 
twins and said,"       "While wiping at a tear,"       
"He could not flee the scene, you see,"       "For he's been dead 
a year."       "The cop just looked confused and asked," 
       "Now, how can that be true?"       "The boys said, 
""Mommy, Daddy came"       "And left a kiss for you."" " 
       He told us not to worry       "And that you would be all 
right,"       And then he put us in this car with       
"The pretty, flashing light."       "We wanted him to stay with 
us,"       "Because we miss him so,"       "But Mommy, 
he just hugged us tight"       And said he had to go.   
    He said someday we'd understand      "And told us not to 
fuss,"       "And he said to tell you, Mommy,"       
"He's watching over us."       The mother knew without a doubt 
       "That what they spoke was true,"       "For she 
recalled their dad's last words,"       "I will watch over you." 
       The firemen's notes could not explain       "The 
twisted, mangled car,"       And how the three of them escaped 
       Without a single scar.       "But on the cop's 
report was scribed,"       "In print so very fine,"     
  An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.       "The 7 
Second Prayer, Just repeat this phrase and see how God             moves. 
       "Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and   
        bless my       family, my home, my friends, and me. Amen. 
"       Pass this message to 7 people {EXCEPT YOU AND ME}. 
       You will receive a miracle tomorrow.       He who has a 
thousand friends has not a friend to spare.       This morning 
when the Lord opened a window to Heaven, He saw             me, and 
       He asked: "My child, what is your greatest wish for today?" I    
        responded:       "Lord please, take care of the person 
       who is reading this message, their family and their special   
        friends.       They deserve it and I love them very 
much.       " The love of God is like the ocean, you ca n see 
its             beginning,       but not its end.This message 
works on the day you receive it.       Let us see if it is true. 
       ANGELS EXIST but some times, since they don't all have 
wings,              we call             them FRIENDS.       
Pass this on to your true friends.       Something good will 
happen to you at 11:11 in the evening;            something            
that you have been waiting to hear.       Do not break this 
prayer; send it to a minimum of 5 friends.
