For Portugal

Post by David »

The scene fades into aerial shots of Lisbon, some landmarks are shown in detail, from the S. Jorge Castle to the Rua Augusta Arch, with some shots of a busy downtown area of Lisbon. The scene then cuts into a shot of one of the newest EBWF women’s division signee, Shanna sitting at the pier by the Tagus river at sunset, overlooking the southern margin of it. She is wearing a red t-shirt, with green outlines on the sleeves and collar, a clear reference to her national colours. By her side, an unknown man in a buttoned up white shirt stands. As she begins to speak, the man is shown listening attentively to her every word.

Shanna
O meu nome é Shanna, e eu sou a mais perfeita atleta na história deste negócio.


Translator
My name is Shanna and I am the most perfect athlete in the history of this industry.


Shanna
E ao meu lado tenho o melhor tradutor de português-inglês no mundo. E o nome dele… não importa.


Translator
And by my side is the best English to Portuguese translator in the world, and his name doesn’t matter…


The translator seemed to lose momentum as the sentence went on and he realized he was saying his own name didn't matter.


Shanna
Antes que haja qualquer problema, eu quero que o mundo saiba que eu não preciso de um intérprete. Eu sou fluente em muitas línguas, eu até podia enumera-las, mas a EBWF já tem uma Wikipedia ambulante. O que importa aqui não é quantas línguas falo, porque estão a ouvir-me na mais bela de todas as línguas, estão a ouvir-me em Português.


Translator
Before any issues arise, I want the world to know that I don’t need a translator. I am fluent in many languages, I could even list them, but EBWF seems to already have a walking Wikipedia. The really important thing here isn’t how many languages I speak, though, because you are hearing me in the most beautiful of them all, Portuguese.

Shanna
Quando a EBWF inicialmente me contactou, sinceramente, eu não tinha qualquer intenção de aceitar a proposta que fizeram. No entanto, comecei a ver o estado da divisão feminina, e pensei que apenas o nobre espirito lusitano conseguiria salvar esta divisão moribunda de uma morte certa. Apenas uma atleta perfeita vinda do país mais belo do Mundo tem essa capacidade…. Apenas eu.


Translator
When EBWF originally contacted me, I had no intention of actually signing the contract that they were offering. However, I started to notice the horrible state of the Women’s Division and realized that only the noble Lusitanian spirit could save a failing division from certain death. Only a perfect athlete, coming from the most beautiful country in the world could achieve that. Only me.


Shanna
É isso que me traz aqui. Em frente ao Tejo, no cais onde se choram desgostos e celebram felicidades, é onde eu vou buscar inspiração. E acreditem que vou precisar de muita, pois tenho uma tarefa árdua pela minha frente. Mas não é uma tarefa impossível.


Translator
That’s what brings me here today. In front of the Tagus River, where heartbreaks are mourned and joyous occasions are celebrated, is where I get my inspiration. Believe me, I’ll need a lot of it, because saving a division is no walk in the park, but it’s not impossible.


Shanna
Na minha estreia, puseram-me a enfrentar a Eva Marie. Esta ausência de talento com mais tinta que cérebro na cabeça vai ser uma adversária difícil. Não por mérito dela, credo, não, isso queria ela, mas porque é difícil para mim dar cabo de alguém das cores da mais gloriosa bandeira do mundo, a Portuguesa. Caso não saibam, a bandeira portuguesa é verde e vermelha… A Eva também, vermelho graças aquela tinta toda que corrói qualquer amostra de cérebro, e verde de toda a inveja que ela tem de mim, porque sabe que nem ela nem mais ninguém pode ser a atleta perfeita que eu sou.


Translator
For my debut, I have been booked to fight Eva Marie. This lack of talent with more hair dye than brains will be a tough opponent. Not that she is a worthy adversary or anything, god, no, she wishes. She’ll be a tough opponent because it’s hard for me to beat up someone whose colours are the same as my country’s colours. Red and green, are the predominant colours on the Portuguese flag, for those of you who don’t know. They also are, funny enough, Eva’s colours, red for all that crappy dye eating away at whatever’s left of her brain, and green for all the envy she has, because she knows she will never be the perfect athlete that I am, in fact nobody will ever be half the athlete I am.


Shanna
A minha carreira na EBWF não vai ser construída à base de amizades e simpatias. Eu vou mostrar o que o espírito Português significa. As chamas que têm consumido o meu país alimentarão a minha ambição, e eu vou erguer-me desse fogo como uma fénix, e deixar qualquer pessoa que me oponha nas cinzas, por Portugal.


Translator
My career in EBWF won’t be built on niceties and pleasantries, I will show you what the Portuguese Spirit is all about. The flames that have been ravaging my country will feed my ambition, and I will rise from the fire just like a phoenix, and leave behind all those who oppose me in ashes, for Portugal.


The scene fades out after Shanna walks off the shot, leaving only an open shot of a red sun and an orange sky over the April 25th bridge, before fading completely to black, ending the segment.
