Chapter 755 This is not a mistranslation
Chen Mo’s Weibo content is very simple.
"The new game "The Doomsday of the United States" is translated in English as "the last f us". Note: This is not a mistranslation."
The text is just a few sentences.
The players were all confused, why did they specifically note that this was not a mistranslation?
Many players think at first glance that the translation is quite appropriate. Isn’t this English meaning of the end of the United States?
But soon, there were players with better English language popular science. The English name literally translated to "the last one among us". The Chinese and English titles really don't mean the same thing.
Many players then realized that no wonder Chen Mo even specifically stated that this was not a mistranslation. If not specified, someone would definitely laugh at Chen Mo's English level...
If the "American Doomsday" is strictly translated, it should be "the last fusa". In short, us should be changed to usa, aeria or u.s. If we use us, it should mean "we".
However, since Chen Mo has said that this is not a mistranslation, that is to say, the Chinese name and the English name do not mean the same thing. The two names are not translated in the past, but are taken separately.
Many players are wondering why they should do this in vain?
But when I think about it again, I think these two names are quite interesting.
If you use translation, whether it is Chinese translation, English or English translation, it seems that the original meaning will be lost. If it is called "the last fusa" or "The Last Survivor", although it is not bad, it is difficult to remember or loud.
So, the Chinese name is "The Last Fus" and the English name is "The Last Fus" and it seems to be quite suitable!
In fact, the final interpretation of the name is still with the creator. The creator calls it what it is. Just like a famous writer Jia Pingwa, the word "a" originally had no pronunciation of "a", but only in his name, the word "a" is pronounced.
Reading this kind of word will not only not make you uneducated, but instead insists that those who should read "a" will be regarded as uneducated...
To put it bluntly, the parties involved have the final say in this kind of thing.
Chen Mo is like this now. His official Chinese name is "The Doomsday of the United States". Naturally, no one will say that this Chinese name is mistranslated. Instead, he will feel that there is a very wonderful connection between Chinese and English names. It seems that the translation is very accurate. When he sees it is a mistranslation, it is actually two names specially chosen by the author, and both names are very appropriate and easy to remember.
...
Many players feel that Chen Mo’s game name is a bit domineering!
"The Doomsday of the United States"... Is this going to destroy the world or what's going on?
Many people think that this name will be a disaster or a war theme, but the previous rumors have actually spread all over the world, and it is mostly a zombie theme.
The United States after the zombie outbreak? Well, it sounds like that! In other words, is the gossip actually true?
Players clicked on the video one after another.
...
After the lg of Thunder Game, it is a brief black screen.
A female voice asked in a low voice: "What if this is true?"
The picture appears. On the chaotic street, people are running wildly, and the fire is lit on the side of the road. The picture is trembling violently, as if you can feel how panic the people running are.
But this short four or five seconds of the picture is completely silent, silent and depressing.
The screen was black again, and a low male voice said: "Do I still need to remind you that there is anything outside?"
The sun shone into the dark room, and a deformed shadow appeared on the rusty cabinet, a human figure walking upright, but it was also shaking constantly, making a heart-pounding roar.
“I had people I cared about a long time ago.”
The picture switches, a middle-aged man and a young girl walking in the lush forest, followed by a close-up of a little girl. The little girl who should be in school is loading a pistol very skillfully.
At some point, the faint background sound gradually faded, and the simple guitar sound seemed to contain a faint sadness, telling something.
"But now, that ghost thing has only one use, it is to kill you."
After this, there were many fragmented conversations.
"I need you to take something out of town."
"She'll be a burden, Joel."
“I just need some simple equipment to get on the road.”
"I guess it's related to that girl?"
"It must have something to do with that girl."
"No matter what, it's not worse than staying here, right?"
"We've been living a life of silence, Joel."
"No, we are trying to survive!"
"This is our opportunity!"
"Stop talking, Tess!"
"You are taking risks."
The corpse hanging from a tree.
A villain with a gun.
Abandoned mansion.
Joel and Ally hid behind the wall, and the villains holding shotguns were searching for their locations.
"What should we do now?"
"Don't waste any bullet."
Zombies, evildoers, poisonous gas, blood-stained swords, homemade bombs...
"We have gone through so much and put in so much effort, it should always make sense, right?"
In Aili's last question, the screen was black and the video came to an abrupt end.
...
After reading the promotional g, many players were confused.
Where are these? I can’t understand them!
Obviously, the main method of this video is to "disassemble", which is to split the complete plot of the game into many clips, interspersed with character dialogues, allowing players to get only words about the plot without any spoiler effect.
But judging from this video alone, players did not get much useful information, nor did they see what the highlights of the game are.
The combat system? Playing method? Character creation? It seems that there is nothing special about it.
The only highlight may be the plot, but the plot is not disclosed at all.
Some players are also trying hard to speculate on the plot of "The Last Day of the United States" and even really infer something from this video.
This is indeed the end of the world after the zombie outbreak, and the protagonist should be this middle-aged uncle Joel. From what he said, he has endured a lot of struggles to survive in the end of the world. He once lost his love, but now he is related to a little girl.
Apart from that, there is no more specific information.
Many players felt a little disappointed. Although this promotional video is quite good, it is not as amazing as when "Underworld" first came out.
Chapter completed!
