今天早上,闲来无事去FPN看了一圈,居然发现了这个~~看了下反正不长,就拿来给大家看看。。。
(蓝色选中部分)
吐个槽先:国外的号称钢笔爱好者的人知道的中国品牌怎么全都是那些山寨品牌呢,永生英雄他们基本不玩啊~~可见,假洋鬼子的国外宣传还是值得借鉴的~~当然,英雄这种牛X哄哄的估计是不会借鉴的~~
下面开始正文翻译:
A friend of mine--another fountain pen addict--went to China this summer to adopt a little girl. While there he saw a “Picasso” fountain pen, which he bought for $8.00 U.S. He absolutely loves the pen, and it also has great sentimental value to him because of the circumstances. He did let me try it out, and although it's a finer point than I usually like, it wrote well.
我的一个和我一样爱好钢笔的朋友今夏到中国区领养一个女孩。在那里,他用8美金买了一支毕加索钢笔。他超喜欢这支笔,又因为这笔特殊的背景给了他更深厚的感情。他让我试了一下,虽然这比我日用的笔要细不少,但它写起来很舒服~~
However, he's never been able to find the brand elsewhere.
然而,他在其他地方就再也看不到这个牌子了~~
Recently, while browsing e-bay, I found several Picassos listed by a Japanese seller, win_world_jp. I ordered two, and they arrived in less than five days. Even with overseas shipping, the total cost for the two pens was $40.
最近在逛EBAY的时候,我看到一个日本卖家win_world_jp(什么SB名字?只怪国外没有伟大的河蟹系统)陈列了一些毕加索钢笔。我定了两支,5天之内就到货了,加上海外的运费这两支笔加起来也只要40美金~~
I'm not set up for fine photography, so the following image is taken from win_world_jp's e-bay store. This is the Picasso PS-908 in yellow. (The pen my friend bought is the same model, in black). The color on this photo is pretty accurate; it's more of a pumpkin or butternut color than a lemon yellow.
我没有好的拍照条件,以下的图片来自EBAY卖家。这是黄色的毕加索PS-908(我朋友那个是黑色的908)。照片上的颜色挺准的,感觉更像是南瓜或者灰胡桃的黄,不是那种柠檬黄~~
I honestly cannot tell what the nib is made of. The booklet that comes with pen states that Picasso nibs are 12k, 14k or 18k gold. The Japanese seller stated that this pen had a 22k gold-plated nib. For the price, I'm guessing gold-plate. The English translations in the booklet are too eccentric for me to say that the manufacturer has promised that all its nibs are gold.
老实讲,我实在说不好这个笔的笔尖是什么做的。说明书上说毕加索笔尖是12k,14k或者18k的,而日本卖家却说是22k镀金的笔尖。看这个价格,我估计是镀金的。说明书里的英语翻译实在是太诡异了,上面说生产厂家承诺,毕加索的笔尖全都是金的~~(真丢中国人的脸啊 )。
But whatever the material, the pen writes well. My sample below shows why I don't like fine points for every day writing; they tend to make me cramp my letters. But for note-taking, they're hard to beat.
反正,不管什么材料,写起来还是不错的啦~~下面是我的笔迹图,说明了我为啥不喜欢日用细的笔尖,他们会让我的字母不由自主地写小,不过用来做笔记还是很强的~~
This is an excellent pen for the price. And I would also recommend win_world_jp, who has only been on e-bay since August, but has managed to score 270 positive feedbacks, with no negatives that I could see.
这笔的性价比还是很完美的。同时我也推荐卖家win_world_jp,他从八月份开始才在EBAY做生意,但是到目前,他已经获得了270个好评,没有差评~~
