12-year-old E and I were talking about languages in the car this afternoon when I was telling her about a funny time in my childhood when my sister Ruthie and I translated some lines from a new Batman movie (which were totally cut-and-dried in English) into Taiwanese, which somehow made the lines supremely hilarious to us:
—
Small-time villain, suddenly subdued by Batman in the shadows of the night: Who are you?
Batman: I'm Batman.
—
E had my phone with her in the back seat, so she looked up the scene on YouTube, which I heard but could not see while I was driving.
Not totally sure myself, I asked, "Is that from the Batman movie from the 1990's?"
E answered, "I don't think so… it was in color."
