日漫版《神夏》来袭：卷福成不死之身
Sherlock Holmes to be immortalised in Japanese manga series
Sherlock Holmes has had many incarnations since he was first brought to life by the pen of Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. This summer, that most British of detectives, who has appeared as everything from a vampire hunter to a crime-fighting teenager, is being immortalised in Japanese manga.
自1887年阿瑟·柯南·道尔创作出夏洛克·福尔摩斯这个人物以来,有关福尔摩斯形象化身的作品便层出不穷.从吸血鬼猎人到惩恶扬善的少年,几乎无所不有.今夏,这位最具英伦风范的侦探将在日本漫画中成为不死之身.
Out in June, Sherlock: A Study in Pink adapts the BBC series, which started in 2010, transforming Benedict Cumberbatch's Holmes and Martin Freeman's Dr John Watson into classic manga images. Publisher Titan Comics said the release would be the first time the manga series, illustrated by manga illustrator Jay, would be printed in English. It launched in Japan four years ago, and according to io9 its popularity has meant there have been a plethora of fan translations since.
日本漫画《神探夏洛克：粉色的研究》将于六月登陆英国.该漫画改编自2010年BBC出品的英剧《神探夏洛克》,其中由本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇饰演的福尔摩斯和马丁·弗瑞曼饰演的华生医生以经典日漫风格登场.出版商泰坦漫画公司表示,由插画师杰伊创作的这部系列漫画,将首次被译成英文出版发行.该漫画于四年前登陆日本.据每日科幻信息网消息,该漫画自出版以来大受追捧,有众多民间译本流传.
"It's really interesting seeing such a British thing being reinterpreted in Japanese manga," said Titan Comics editor Andrew James, who acquired the manga series for the publisher. "It's still dynamic and full of action, but compared to American comics, there's often a quietness and reflectiveness about manga."
泰坦漫画编辑安德鲁·詹姆斯为公司争取到了该系列漫画的发行权.他表示："如此经典的英国侦探故事被重塑为日本漫画,真是件有意思的事.改编后的故事依然惊险刺激,精彩连连.但与美国漫画相比,日本漫画会更为平和,引人深思."
Titan is offering extended page counts, as well as new art and covers by artists including Alice X Zhang, in its manga series, the first issue of which opens with Holmes and Watson's first meeting and ends with the pair moving in together.
在这部系列漫画中,泰坦增加了印刷页数,并邀请了艾丽斯·X·张在内的多位艺术家设计新封面.该漫画首卷以福尔摩斯与华生的初次会面开篇,最终在这对好友一同迁居的故事中落幕.
The pair's relationship, James said, is "not made any more explicit than it is on the television, but it's certainly something the television has hinted at ... so [the manga] is not a thing with love hearts appearing, but it's definitely something in which the subtext is just as strong".
