2020-2021 bilibili国创动画作品发布会 原创动画翻译(补)
写在前面:出于个人兴趣,我从2019年开始尝试将每年B站国创发布会上的作品介绍翻译成英文。后来因为发布作品越来越多,且大部分改编作品原作都已经有不错的英文翻译版本,考虑到尊重其它翻译者的工作以及标注引用比较麻烦费时,选择只翻译原创作品的简介,方便海外关注国产动画的观众第一时间了解原创动画的题材和内容。
受限于个人能力和翻译时放出的物料有限,某些动画名和内容翻译未必准确通俗,也与后来官方的英文翻译不同。我会继续翻译今年的B站发布会的原创动画简介,欢迎各位对国产动画传播和翻译感兴趣的小伙伴提出自己的想法和建议。

吐槽:官方海报里面的英文是千从狩的拼音,但我觉得还是得有个意思相近的英文翻译,最后选择了比较接近的overarching, 但是这个词一般用来形容观点和想法,用来形容人还是有点怪怪的。

吐槽:因为时光本来是凸变3,所以选择了原凸变3的副标题PHOTO,不过实际上翻译成time AGent更易于理解。没有人能想到这玩意的官方英文名最后竟然是Link Click。
