How do you translate this in the context?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everybody, I'm an amateur translator and I'm trying to translate a Chinese movie to my native language basing on original DVD's subtitles. Unfortunately some lines are just off and you can tell that who wrote them is not so good at speaking english so I need your help to fix it. The context is this: there's a girl named 七月 who has always been committed to her hometown and basically never left it who is now starting a new life and travelling the world. The sentence is said by a voice-over, and is this one:

 

"七月曾經賴以生存的穩固的生活 像陸地一樣離她越來越遠了"

 

Thanks in advance for your help! I apreciate it!

"The stable life July had once depended on now grew ever farther from her, like the land slipping away [from a boat out at sea]"
