A 老闆，你好！有《Ghost in the Shell》的DVD嗎？是一部日本動漫。
lǎobǎn, nǐhǎo! yǒu 《 Ghost in the Shell 》 de DVD ma? shì yī bù Rìběn dòngmàn.
Hello, sir. Do you have the DVD of ``Ghost in the Shell"? It's a manga.
B 說中文名字。
shuō Zhōngwén míngzi.
Tell me the Chinese name.
A 中文名字我說不上來。要不我給你說說情節。嗯……反正裡面的女主角叫素子，臉蛋挺漂亮的，是未來機動警察隊的隊長。她是義體人……
Zhōngwén míngzi wǒ shuō bu shànglái. yàobù wǒ gěi nǐ shuō shuo qíngjié. ng4......fǎnzhèng lǐmiàn de nǚ zhǔjué jiào Sùzǐ, liǎndàn tǐng piàoliang de, shì wèilái jīdòng jǐngchá duì de duìzhǎng. tā shì yìtǐrén......
I can't quite tell you the Chinese name. How about I tell you about the plot. Uh, well, anyway, the female star is called Major Kusanagi. She has a beautiful face and a hot body. She's the head of a team of robot police in the future. She's a cyborg...
B 打住打住，兄弟，這樣說我幫不了你。日本動漫不都是這樣的人當主角嗎？
dǎzhù dǎzhù, xiōngdì, zhèyàng shuō wǒ bāngbuliǎo nǐ. Rìběn dòngmàn bù dōu shì zhèyàng de rén dāng zhǔjué ma?
Hold on, hold on! Buddy, if you just say that, I can't help you. Don't all Japanese mangas have that kind of main character?
A 她可不一樣！她擁有機器改裝的身體，但保留了人類的情感！在未來世界裡，光電、納米、機械、生物、網絡和人工智能技術飛躍發展，人的身體甚至大腦都可以用電子和機械器官替換，很多人都換了電子腦。而且無線網絡貫穿人類龐大的社會結構甚至單獨的個人身體，因此也衍生出了各種基於網絡的犯罪。素子帶領的公安九課就是專門對付由於人類高科技的過度發展和膨脹的慾望所帶來的新的犯罪。
tā kě bù yīyàng! tā yōngyǒu jīqì gǎizhuāng de shēntǐ, dàn bǎoliú le rénlèi de qínggǎn! zài wèilái shìjiè lǐ, guāngdiàn, nàmǐ, jīxiè, shēngwù, wǎngluò hé réngōng zhìnéng jìshù fēiyuè fāzhǎn, rén de shēntǐ shènzhì dànǎo dōu kěyǐ yòng diànzǐ hé jīxiè qìguān tìhuàn, hěn duō rén dōu huàn le diànzǐnǎo. érqiě wúxiàn wǎngluò guànchuān rénlèi pángdà de shèhuì jiégòu shènzhì dāndú de gèrén shēntǐ, yīncǐ yě yǎnshēng chū le gèzhǒng jīyú wǎngluò de fànzuì.

She's really different! She has a cybernetic body, but she's kept her human emotions. In the world of the future, photo-electronics, nano-tech, mechanization, biology, networks and artificial intelligence are really developed. People's bodies and even their brains can be replaced with electronic and mechanical organs. You can get on the wireless networks anytime and anywhere, and get into anything from the biggest social organizations to an individual human. This has created all kinds of new crimes based on the networks. Kusanagi's Public Security Section Nine specializes in these new kinds of crimes brought about by humankind's excessive technological development and expanding desires.
B 那應該是部大片吧，和《黑客帝國》有點像。
nà yīnggāi shì bù dàpiān ba, hé 《 Hēikèdìguó 》 yǒudiǎn xiàng.
Sounds sort of like you're talking about a big movie--it's a little like ``The Matrix."
A 當然是大製作，耗資20億日元呢！畫面非常養眼，情節也扣人心絃，你怎麼可能不知道呢？老闆，你這樣做生意落伍囉！
dāngrán shì dà zhìzuò, hàozī èrshí yì rìyuán ne! huàmiàn fēicháng yǎngyǎn, qíngjié yě kòurénxīnxián, nǐ zěnme kěnéng bù zhīdào ne? lǎobǎn, nǐ zhèyàng zuò shēngyi luòwǔ luō!
Of course it's a big movie-- it took 20 billion yen! The cinematography is beautiful, and the plot is thrilling. How could you not know about it? Man, how can you be so behind the times in the way you do business!?
B 我們小時候看的都是《機器貓》、《聖鬥士星矢》、《七龍珠》什麼的，最近的這些新潮玩意兒我就知道一個《最終幻想》，可比不上你們這些動漫粉絲。要不我給你查查我的銷售記錄。這個叫什麼《阿基拉》的是不是你要找的啊？反正也是日本的。
wǒmen xiǎo shíhou kàn de dōu shì 《 Jīqìmāo 》 , 《 Shèngdòushìxīngshǐ 》 , 《 Qīlóngzhū 》 shénme de, zuìjìn de zhèxiē xīncháo wányìr wǒ jiù zhīdào yī ge 《 Zuìzhōnghuànxiǎng 》, kě bǐbushàng nǐmen zhèxiē dòngmàn fěnsī. yàobu wǒ gěi nǐ chá cha wǒ de xiāoshòu jìlù. zhè ge jiào shénme 《 A1jīlā 》 de shì bu shì nǐ yào zhǎo de a? fǎnzhèng yě shì Rìběn de.
When we were young, we watched stuff like ``Doraemon," ``Saint Seiya" and ``Dragonball." As for these new-fangled shows, I only know ``Final Fantasy." There's no way I can compare to you anime fans! How about have a look through my sales records for you? This, uh, ``A-ji-la" -- are you looking for this one? It's Japanese, anyway.
A 《阿基拉》？Akira！哎呀，真是歪打正著，我找了好久都沒找到，沒想到今天在你這裡碰上了。唉，老闆，還有一部獲得奧斯卡金像獎的日本動漫你這裡有嗎？那個作者有很多作品。
A1jīlā 》? Akira! āiyā, zhēn shì wāidǎzhèngzháo, wǒ zhǎo le hǎo jiǔ dōu méi zhǎodào, méixiǎngdào jīntiān zài nǐ zhèlǐ pèngshàng le. āi, lǎobǎn, hái yǒu yī bù huòdé Aòsīkǎ Jīnxiàngjiǎng de Rìběn dòngmàn nǐ zhèlǐ yǒu ma? nàge zuòzhě yǒu hěn duō zuòpǐn.
``A-ji-la"? Oh, ``Akira"! If we hadn't happened on this, I would've looked for it for ages! Hey, there's another anime that won an Oscar. Do you have it? The guy who made it has made a lot of movies.
B 你是說《千與千尋》？宮崎駿系列的是套裝的終極收藏版，你肯定喜歡！
nǐ shì shuō 《 Qiānyǔqiānxún 》? Gōngqíjùn xìliè de shì tàozhuāng de zhōngjí shōucáng bǎn, nǐ kěndìng xǐhuan!
Are you talking about ``Spirited Away?" Hayao Miyazaki's final collection. You're sure to like it!
A 太好了！不過我說的那部……
tài hǎo le! bùguò wǒ shuō de nà bù......
Great! But the one I was talking about...
B 要不明天你再來，我把新貨都整理一下。
yàobu míngtiān nǐ zài lái, wǒ bǎ xīn huò dōu zhěnglǐ yīxià.
How about you come back tomorrow? I'll tidy up the new merchandise.
A 等等，你手上拿的是……啊！就是它！真是踏破鐵鞋無覓處，得來全不費功夫啊！
děng deng, nǐ shǒu shàng ná de shì......à! jiùshì tā! zhēn shì tàpòtiěxiéwúmìchù , déláiquánbùfèigōngfu a!
Wait a second! The one in your hand...oh! That's the one! We looked all over creation and then it came without even trying!
B 哦，那你記好了，名字叫《攻殼機動隊》。
ō, nà nǐ jì hǎo le, míngzi jiào 《 Gōngqiàojīdòngduì 》.
Huh, so remember: It's called ``Ghost in the Shell."
