試著用中英對照的方式講講去年介紹的超美國在地化的土撥鼠節：
2月2號是北美的土撥鼠節Groundhog Day，據說在這天如果土撥鼠從冬眠中起來後看到牠自己的影子就會再回去睡，冬天也還有6個星期才會結束；如果土撥鼠沒看見影子，就代表春天即將來臨。
February 2nd is North America’s Groundhog Day. It is said that if a groundhog pops out of its burrow from hibernation and sees its shadow, the cute ball will go back to sleep, indicating that the end of winter will still be six weeks away. If the groundhog does not see its shadow, then spring is not far.
好的那麼，大家知道我們平常講的土撥鼠，其實有包含兩類不同的鼠嗎？會冬眠的旱獺marmot，還有不冬眠的犬鼠cynomys，雖然兩類都很圓很球很桶，不過在外型上還是很不同喔。
Ok, so does anybody know that the groundhogs we usually talk about have two different species? The hibernating Marmot and the non-hibernating Cynomys. The two are both plump, chubby and barrelly, but they still differ in appearance.
但不管是哪類台灣都沒有，前陣子有出現「台灣土撥鼠」的相關新聞，根本就是欠估狗，新聞中出現的是台灣鼴鼠，即便同樣都會挖土，但鼴鼠並不是嚙齒目，所以鼴鼠名字中雖有鼠字，但並不是一種鼠呢。
Sad thing is Taiwan does not have either of them, there was news about groundhogs running wild in Taiwan, which made me really wanna shove Wikipedia in their faces. The “groundhog” in the news is actually a Formosan Blind Mole, both know how to dig but the latter isn’t a Rodentia, so folks, not all those that dig are “hogs”.

一開始想說會搞混土撥鼠的應該只有中文使用者吧，後來發現其實估狗groundhog，還是會噴出一堆犬鼠圖，很多土撥鼠節的配圖也都用犬鼠，看來會搞混這些挖土老鼠的不是只有我們呢XD
第一次排英文版面覺得茫，其實也很認真的在想有沒有機會把本土的動物用英文來介紹，但想到我那亂七八糟的中文語法和各種莫名奇妙的球狀形容詞就覺得...是給翻譯添麻煩XD
謝謝Rainbow拯救了國中畢業後英文再也沒有及格過的我翻譯英文～推薦給各位需要英文老師或英文翻譯照亮人生道路的朋友們Rainbow：

Everything that I was slowly changing
挖阿！把拎杯埋在我的佈置之下

I would love to beat the face,
Of any mother fucker that's thinkin' they can change me,
White knuckles grip pushing through for the gold,
If you're wantin' a piece of me I broke the mother fuckin' mold,
I'm drowning in your wake
Shit rubbed in my face
Teething on concrete
Gums bleeding
拎杯很樂意一拳幹翻你的臉
還是哪個妄想能改變我的臭機吧
拎杯用手指虎把你們幹到翻
如果你真的一直逼我，拎杯一定跟你們拼了
你這個死王八讓我受不了了
就像狗屎一直往我臉上丟
就像牙齒一直冒出來讓拎杯滿嘴血
Dig bury me underneath

I struggle in violated space,
Sell out motherfuckers in the biz that try to fuck me,
Hang from their T's rated P.G. insight,
I ain't sellin' my soul when there's nothing to buy
I'm livid in my space
Pissing in my face
Fuck you
While you try
To fuck me
我在這個褻瀆之地奮戰
你們這些想偷操我的臭機吧
居然給我掛上兒童不宜的標籤
拎杯才不會出賣靈魂來得到好處
我已經一臉蒼白你還撒尿在我臉上
在你要操我之前我一定會先操翻你 幹！
Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I was you ain't fuckin' changing me

Let me help to talk you the wrong way off the ledge,
Let me help you hold the glock against your head
Let me help you tie the rope around your neck,
Let me help to talk you the wrong way off the ledge,
Let me help you hold the glock against your head,
Let me help to chain the weights onto your legs
your the blind fuck
讓拎杯幫你把繩子繞在你脖子上吧
讓拎杯給你個指示讓你摔下懸崖吧
讓拎杯幫你拿把克拉克瞄準你的頭
讓拎杯幫你把繩子繞在你脖子上吧
讓拎杯給你個指示讓你摔下懸崖吧

讓拎杯幫你纏上厚重鐵塊在你的腿
你這瞎了狗眼的混帳
Dig bury me underneath

Suicide suckin' on a mother fuckin' tailpipe
Dead man walking on a tight rope
Limbless in the middle of a channel bobs away
挖阿！把拎杯埋在我的佈置之下
挖阿！把拎杯埋在我的改變之下
希望你就快點去吸那機吧排氣管自殺
像個死人走在繩索上，像個幽魂游離在渠道裡
