守望者英文

watchman, watcher

keep the 。。。

守望: keep watch守望者: watcher

看到这个词很容易想到一部文学作品：麦田守望者。这部作品的英文名字是“thecatcherintherye”,从这里看，“守望者”的译文应该是catcher。但是这个需要语境，一般的，watcher,warden都可以。watchmen就有守卫者的意思了，但在某些语境中也可以。如何翻译好这个词，语境很重要。

Watchmen"Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?"
