| shirts and shorts in three stripes, employees ripped off 3本ラインの服に（従業員が）ぼられた！ Explanation: This chant is *extremely* awkward-sounding in English - it's practically a tongue-twister（早口言葉）. Don't forget that this is the translation of the original German chant, which I imagine probably rolled off the tongue a lot more smoothly. Anyway, I think that a 直訳 into Japanese may sound equally awkward, especially as a chant, so my version is a lot more toned down, you could say. Interestingly, the English "rip(ped) off" here may be doubly meaningful: to rip off someone's clothes （人）の服をはぎ取る and to rip off (a person) - the case of the employees here 搾り取る、だます（だまし取る）、略奪する、ぼる So something along the lines of the following may work (?) ３本ラインの服に、私達がぼられた！（だまされた！）など..... Good luck, Jack-san! |

| shirts and shorts in three stripes, employees ripped off 三本縞はアディダス横暴の象徴だ! Explanation: ドイツ語と英語のほうにポストなさったようですが、はかばかしい反応は見られなかったようですね。 私はこの標語はドイツの文化に根ざしたものがなにかあるという風に考えたのですが、もしかしたらそれは考えすぎで、案外もっと単純なのかという気にもなりました。このへんはいまだ疑問が残りますが。 そこでこんなところを考え付いたのですが、労働組合の抗議のシュプレヒコールなので、こんな風になるのかというところです。 もっとも気合をいれる号令としては、もっと口にこなれた言い方に変えられるとよいと思います。 ご参考までに。 |
