«I love you an egg», traducciones literales que triunfan en la red

AURORA FLÓREZ ABCEDESEVILLA / SEVILLA
Día 16/03/2014 – 08.16h

Tres emprendedores triunfan desde Sevilla con «Superbritánico» y su idea de trasladar lo más granado de nuestras frases al inglés

«Oh pity, little pity, pity!», o lo que es lo mismo: «¡Ay pena, penita, pena!», «Life is a lottery, lot lot lotery!» («La vida es una tómbola, tom tom tombola», «Today, donŽt have the pussy for litte lanterns» -«Hoy no tengo el chichi pa farolillos», son algunas de las frases que están haciendo furor en Internet en traducciones literales al inglés de las expresiones más populares, más graciosas y más repetidas de este nuestro país.

Están en Twitter, en @superbritanico, que las planta en tazas, delantales, bolsos y otros artículos que venden desde una tienda online. «Superbritánico» es idea de tres jóvenes emprendedores en Sevillaque no llegan a los 30 años de edad: Nicholas Isard, británico, licenciado en Lenguas Modernas, Marielle Lambrun, francesa, licenciada en Filología hispánica, y el fundador, Daniel Vivas, sevillano y economista. Cuentan con más de 250.000 seguidores en las redes sociales.

En diciembre, mes en que abrieron sutienda online se agotaron las existencias en pocos días. Vidas asegura que «entre traducción y traducción surgió la idea de hacer las traducciones literales y comenzamos a compartirlas a través de las redes sociales». Nunca imaginaron que esta idea alcanzaría tal éxito. Y tampoco pensaron en que, «a nivel de vocabulario puede ser de ayuda para todas aquellas personas que están aprendiendo el idioma. Nos llama mucha gente para darnos la enhorabuena porque gacias a «Superbritánico» han aprobado su examen de inglés».

Divertido y original es, no cabe duda. Y ahí va una muestra de ello, ésta para que practiquen: «Go to fry aspargus», «You are the joy of the vegetable garden», «Female monkey painter» o «I love you an egg», de un amplio catálogo en el que no faltan frases de canciones archiconocidas, en las que hasta se recupera a las Mama Chicho:«Mum, Chicho touches me, he is touching me more and more».

Hay para elegir, además entre lo más granado del panorama musical y de su repertorio de respuestas. Raphael: «Scandal! itŽs a scandal», Lola Flores: «If you love me, go away!» (¡Si me queréis, irse!), «What’s wrong with the blackberry which cries and cries at all hours around the corners?» («¿qué tiene la zarzamora que a todas horas llora que llora por los rincones?»); Rocío Jurado: «It’s been a while since I don’t feel anything when doing it with you» («Hace tiempo que no siento nada al hacerlo contigo»); o Isabel Pantoja: «Sailor of lights, with soul of fire and tanned back» («Marinero de luces, con alma de fuego y espalda morena», «Teeth, teeth, that’s what fucks them» («Dientes, dientes, que eso es lo que les jode»)… Pues eso, en dos palabras made in Jesulín de Ubrique: «In two words: im pressive».

[LAST UPDATED 3 MONTHS AGO]

Did you know that over half of the world’s population is bilingual? This statistic may come as less of a surprise if you consider that there are nearly 7,000 languages spoken around the world! Being bilingual offers a wealth of benefits, from better brain function to improved job prospects. If you live in a vibrant place like New York City, being bilingual can even make it easier for you to meet new people. If you are considering learning a second language as an adult, it’s important to enroll in language classes designed for adult learners and immerse yourself in the language. Once you become fluent, you can maintain and improve your language abilities by taking classes, watching movies, and conversing in your new language. To find out more about the benefits of bilingualism, check out this infographic from Bluedata International Institute, an ESL school in New York City. Please share this infographic with your friends and family who are also hoping to learn English or any other second language!
