A Bit Of Americana...
Halloween was just yesterday. Being in Singapore, I missed all the festivities and parties back home. It's not really celebrated here as the entreprenuers here did not realize what a multi-billion industry it is for adults.
Anyway, the following picture is a famous one in the US. The lady, Margaret Hamilton who played the witch in "The Wizard of Oz" (綠野仙踪) was actually a kind hearted teacher turned actress. Look at the caption in the picture and guess what it was trying to say...

"Gone With The Wind" - 跟風而去 is an accurate but meaningless in Chinese. Also it is a dowdy eye catcher. The official Chinese title, highly inaccurate but is much more exciting and true to the story of the movie. 乱世佳人 is a figurative but good translation in the context of translating titles.
