Pois, mais um post inspirado por essa maravilha tecnológica do século passado: a televisão a cores!
Agora que penso nisso, a televisão a preto e branco também poderia ter resultado para este efeito.
Aqui há uns tempos, estava eu a ver o Tonight Show with Jay Leno, doravante referido por Programa do Jay Leno, quando, nas legendas, todas as instâncias da palavra cool são traduzidas por cool, em itálico e tudo. Na altura pensei, "Homessa! Então mas nós não temos uma palavra nossa para "cool"? Que diabo aconteceu ao "fixe", ao "porreiro" e, num sentido mais estrito, ao "baril"?" Na altura fiquei com ganas de fazer aqui um post, mas achei que não tinha material suficiente.
Hoje, também a ver o Programa do Jay Leno, a palavra cool voltou a ser utilizada. Repetidamente. E todas as suas intâncias foram legendadas como "fixe", com aspas e tudo. A esta altura estão a pensar, "Safa, que o gajo é difícil de agradar!" Mas não, meus amigos, estou satisfeito, mas gostava de saber para quê as aspas. Então agora aquilo que os anglófonos (pronto, está bem, os Americanos) acham que é cool não pode ser fixe, mas sim "fixe"? Serão aspas irónicas, a gozar com os súbditos do Sr. Bush? Ou as aspas têm o significado da expressão "entre aspas", querendo dizer "não exactamante fixe, mas mais ou menos fixe, como que um meio-termo entre o fixe e o não-fixe"?
Já não percebo nada. Não admira que os Havaianos façam piadas à nossa custa.
"Pax" vobiscum atque "vale".
Mais ou menos isso...
