【 Squat 該翻成「深蹲」還是「蹲舉」?】
翻譯時有時候會卡在一段話,因為看不懂,或是太確定作者要表達什麼,或是討論的主題太陌生,要重讀很多遍或查了許多資料後作者的意思才會慢慢滲到意識裡,此時中文的意思就會浮現,這都是花時間和精神就可以解決的事(至於譯得好不好就是另外一回事了)。但我覺得最難的還是術語。有些術語很簡單,字典一查就有答案,甚至簡單到直覺就可以譯出來,像是「Squat 到底該譯成深蹲還是蹲舉」這個問題讓我掙扎了超過一年,來來回回改了幾次,其實還是不太能下定決心。
目前大家習慣把「Squat」譯成「深蹲」,之前也沒有細想,很直覺地就跟著一起用「深蹲」來譯「Squat」,但這次在翻譯《The System》時,發現似乎不太妥,因為有很多「Squat」並不「深」,像是:
● Quater Squat(四分之一蹲):一點都不深。
● Half Squat(半蹲):比較深一點,但離最深還有點距離。
● Complete Squat(全蹲):應該是指最深的下蹲姿勢。
● Deep Squat(深蹲):中英文之間最名符其實的譯法。
就這幾個原文而言,單把「Squat」譯為「深蹲」就讓我難受,因為「深蹲」應該要配「Deep Squat」,而「Quater Squat」一點都不深,所以把「Squat」譯為「深蹲」就很奇怪。
因此我後來全改譯成「蹲舉」。例如「Front Squat」都用「前蹲舉」;「Back Squat」都用「後蹲舉」,所以「Squat」譯成蹲舉應該比較適合。但又有一個問題是,很多時候練的是徒手Squat,並沒有「舉」起什麼,前蹲舉和後蹲舉因為是在描述重量「在前」或「在後」,有一個重量讓它舉,所以譯成蹲舉很合理,不過有不少蹲的動作是徒手的。所以要把「Squat」統一譯成「蹲舉」似乎還是不恰當。
只譯成「蹲」或「下蹲」?
「Squat」就是蹲下再起站起來的一種動作,像「Single-Leg Squat」譯成「單腿蹲」就很順,那譯成「蹲」好了,但譯成一個字在很多句子讀起來會很不順啊……像是這句:「There is little debate about the importance of the squat as a critical fundamental human movement pattern. 」
譯成「把『深蹲』當作人類最基本的動作模式應該沒什麼爭議」或「把『下蹲』當作人類最基本的動作模式應該沒什麼爭議」其實都可以,但譯成「蹲」讀起來就不順,譯成「蹲舉」也奇怪,像剛學會站的小嬰兒每天都在做Squat,但其實他/她沒在舉什麼。
從一開始直覺地譯成「深蹲」,到後來看到書中「Deep Squat」這個詞才發覺不對,那還是譯成「蹲舉」好了,但自己在教初學者或熱身時其實都是徒手在練,沒有「舉」東西,統一譯成「蹲舉」會有問題。而且「深蹲」比較多人用,翻譯的其中一項原則是這個中文詞是否已經很多人在用了,如果沒有大錯,其實應該延用大多數人的用法,所以譯成「深蹲」是最保險的……但是很多「Squat」一點都不深這點還是讓我無法直接把書中大部分的「Squat」譯為「深蹲」……就這樣經過了一年的掙扎,慢慢說服自己的方式是:
● 確定是徒手的部分譯為「深蹲」
● 確定有外加重量時譯為「蹲舉」
● 不確定是徒手或負重,在通用情況且讀起來不會不順時譯為「蹲」或「下蹲」,例如「Squatting Motion」譯為「下蹲動作」,而不譯為「蹲舉動作」或「深蹲動作」。
● 特定動作先以約定俗成的名稱為主,不強套上面的規定,例如:
* Back Squat→背蹲舉
* Front Squat→前蹲舉
* Wall Squats→靠牆蹲
* Overhead Squat→過頭蹲,確定有加重量→「單腿蹲舉」
* Single-leg Squat→單腿蹲,確定有加重量→「單腿蹲舉」
* Goblet Squat→高腳杯深蹲,雖然有重量,但幾乎沒有人用「高腳杯蹲舉」,所以這裡應該會延用,還是有人會覺得要統一譯成「高腳杯蹲舉」比較好?因為有不少人重量在前時是蹲不下去的,他們實際上做不到高腳杯「深」蹲,只是在做微幅的下「蹲」與「舉」起。
以上只是把翻譯「Squat」時碰到的困擾和目前的想法整理出來,礙於個人能力,暫時只能先這樣做。關於「Squat」的各種譯法,若大家有什麼意見或想法的話,也麻煩再提供我一些意見,感謝!

好文一篇~~~沒時間用中文劃重點,大家來練習英文閱讀吧!!
不過有一句很重要 --> Remember: It wasn't the kettlebell that hurt your back but how you USED the kettlebell that hurt your back.
切記,不是"壺鈴"傷了你的背,而是"你怎麼用壺鈴"傷了你的背。
所以當你使用壺鈴受傷了,請勿責怪這個偉大的工具,而是要思考自己是怎麼使用壺鈴,是否有找專業的指導教練喔~
Kettlebells: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Here are a few notes, mostly scribbled up at random, on how I feel the kettlebell is best used, and some of its shortcomings.
The Good.
**For Strength: Here the BEST application of the kettlebell is for upper body pressing strength and maybe front squats. In all other ways the barbell (or even your own bodyweight) is better.
That said, how strong do you need to be? The kettlebell can develop more than enough "everyday" strength in all major lifts (pushing, pulling, hinging, squatting, etc).
**For Fat Loss: Where the kettlebell really shines is for metabolic conditioning. The compact nature of the cast iron, and how it lets you transition seamlessly between movements, makes it just absolutely marvelous for short, intense, sweaty workouts.
Surely you can use a barbell, or even dumbbells, for something like complexes, but they don't feel as good or as right as the kettlebell does.
**Return on Investment: The kettlebell is convenient, easy to learn (under the guidance of a good coach), and covers about 80% of all the fitness you could need (strength, flexibility, mobility, metabolic conditioning, fat loss, etc).
The Bad.
** For Strength: If you want to go beyond just "everyday" strength the kettlebell starts to show its shortcomings. In other words, don't expect to develop any overly impressive deadlift with kettlebells alone.
**The Dogma: Somehow, and I'm not going to say I'm not partly to blame, because I am, but there is a strong, almost zealotic attachment to kettlebells for a lot of people.
Just remember it's not the tool that matters, but the method. Don't lose out on the benefits of training with other implements because you feel some deep-rooted romantic notion to defend and use only the kettlebell.
The Ugly.
** Technique: This is not the kettlebell's fault, but the coach's, nor is it exclusive to the kettlebell, but I see more bad technique in swings, cleans, snatches and get ups than I care to count.
Remember: It wasn't the kettlebell that hurt your back but how you USED the kettlebell that hurt your back. The kettlebell has no vendetta against you personally, I swear.
So be judicious. Get a coach--a competent coach--to teach you. There are plenty out there. You just have to be willing to look.
Strong ON!
