如何翻譯：與其在懸崖上展覽千年,不如在愛人肩上痛苦一晚上.

陳家曄朋友喜歡的句子，我試著翻譯：

與其在懸崖上展覽千年,不如在愛人肩上痛苦一晚上.

Having a sweet pain on the lover's shoulder for a night rather than have a lonely show on the cliff for thousands year.


集思廣益，大家都來想想看！[:450:]

謝謝啊，以後有什麼難題還會麻煩你的阿

不要客氣，希望能幫上你！

(Not exactly a word by word translation and suppose it is she I would choose to spend a bitter-sweet night with him than being deserted at a lonely place for a thousand years.

呵呵！這個漢語句子不大明白。
不過，樓主譯文不錯的說！

one is by the mean and another is by words ,both are exectly right and nobody can say which is wrong ,and thanks for two of you!

Hey 家曄, where did you get this? Any context you can provide us (for a better understanding)?

Translating is an interesting exercise, i am so glad to consult with Adelyn, since my problem is too much word to word.

Yeah, I feel a lot of fun. However, most of the time I feel it is difficult. For example, when I read 在懸崖上展覽千年, I thought: wow, this must be a demon with an immortal body that can last a thousand years. And why she/he would be hung or fixed atop a cliff?

Also, can I interpret it as "...(rather) than being deserted and living a thousand lonely years"?
